brief details on what i need

Colors are also used on the fairway. Stakes or monuments in the middle of the fairway indicate the distance to the center of the green (regardless of where the hole is cut).

BLUE means "200 yards from the center of the green"

WHITE means "150 yards from the center of the green"

RED means "100 yards from the center of the green"

YELLOW STAKES indicate the boundaries of a water hazard.

WHITE STAKES indicate the boundaries of a lateral water hazard, ground under repair or out of bounds. Sometimes red stakes are used.

On the green, the color of the flag can indicate to a distant golfer where the hole has been cut that day.

BLUE means that the hole has been cut at the back of the green, furthest away from the golfer who is approaching.

WHITE means that the hole has been cut somewhere in the middle of the green.

RED means that the hole has been cut at the front of the green.

For example: A golfer is in the fairway and his ball is close to the white stake. That means he is roughly 150 yards from the center of the green. Which club should he use for the approach shot assuming calm air?

Well, if the flag is white, then the hole is about 150 yards away, so this golfer will use whatever iron sends his ball 150 yards. Let say it's his seven iron.

But if he sees a red flag, then the hole is perhaps just 140 yards away and the golfer will use the eight iron instead.

If he sees a blue flag, he might use the six iron because the hole is 160 yards away.

Northern Region - Childhood games (Penang/Kedah)

This is the page just to document the childhood games that we played during the 80s, it involve very little or not $ at all. All you need is members.

so below are the list

1. Marble - (bakuli) - brief instruction, on the flood draw a circle and a line behind it, then about 10 feet draw another line. all players go behind the line of the circle, each put 1 or 2 marbles into the circle, from there toss your master marble to the 10 feet line, who's master marble nearest to the line will be tossing first and trying to hit all in the circle, if you hit all the marble that is out is your to keep, making sure that you marble is not landed in the circle, if that happens, if not mistaken you need to put in your marble into the circle and let the one who have the most marble to hit it. obviously someone's marble will break.

2. AEIOU - one person infront all the players at his back, when he reads AEIOU all the playes will move closer and closer to him, once a person touches the one who read AEIOU all will run 3 steps and stop, then the main person will walk 3 step to reach the replacement at the frount.

3.Hide and seek - (Ah Chi Lot)

4. Kar-Li-Toy - in a 3 evenly distributed line, with a person at each line guarding, the other team will tray to go though all the guard , if any guards touches any one of the players, then the switch happens.

5. Kan-dok  (top) - draw a circle in the ground, everyone must land its top into the circle, and the one who did not make it will put his top into the circle for annihilation, this is brutal and dangerous, play with caution.

6. S -

7. fish fight

8. spider fight

9. kite fight

10. 7 stones


I will try to update with more and with photos or video later.

2005 - Pearl Island Golf Club - Closed now

We are one bunch of lucky people who have the chance to play at this place now called SP SETIA at Sg ARA. Fortunately the old club house still remain, as you can see this is a nice place up in the hill site to have a round of golf, the problem with this place that make it non profitable and not suitable for golf course is the soil, it needed a lot of water to keep the green ...well green. Soon later they closed it and sell the parcel of land to SP SETIA for housing projects. This is one hell of a nice place to remember.

2005 - Kristal Golf Club Penang

Way way back in 2005 - not sure if this club is still there, but we do not have the opportunity to go into the green cos we a amateurs way back then, got a glimpse of the driving range tho!.

2010 - Cinta Sayang golf

This course is somewhat a little bit similar to the one in TAIPING, bukit JANA.

2004 Penang Turf Club Golf

2012 - heard that they are going to develop this place into sky scrapper, really going to miss this place and all that is affected by the never ending developing in the island. This is a nice place to play golf in the island, as it is very isolated and the green are well maintained. There are also caddy service whom they know about golf. The guidance is priceless, you will learn one or two after going for a round or two with the caddy.
The club house server delicious fried rice with traditional sambal paste, that is gong to be out of reached soon, with so limited youngster learning to make them. sad!
Well the bad thing is that they do not have buggy, good news is that it makes you fitter by walking while playing, - it is not so bad with the help of the caddy.
Every golfer should experience this 18 hole before they are gone.
