Kuala Kubu Bharu, Malaysia
February 9th, 2007 by Olaf Bound.sAs promised, I’m posting today photos taken on the Kuala Kubu Bharu golf course that I believe will give you the ultimate cheapest golfing experience. This course layout is a very challenging golf course.
We start off with the first hole, which is directly next to the ninth hole. This par 4 is a 400 yard hole with a trees lining up if your tee shot reaches the left side. On the right awaiting beautiful slices is a water hazard. The green is slightly elevated with the size not dissimilar to a common bus stand.
The 10th Hole is a beautiful 424 yard pard 4, with hazards waiting all-round. A daunting index 2 hole requires you to have a drive of at least 240 yards carry (downhill) to have any chance to attacking the green. Just about 100 yards from the green is a small little drainage (about 40 yards wide), which collected balls as an ambition.
But my favorite signature hole is this beautiful 13th hole. Only 343 yards, it is an index 6. I’ve taken a shot at the description of the hole. Don’t be fooled by the sign indicating the water hazard coz the green is directly across the water hazard and is located at least a floor higher. A daunting task for high handicappers like old olaf here.
Hey! If you feel like it why not take a small step for golf-kind. However, be warned and prepared for “old olaf” lost a total of 15 balls.
You forgot to mention the hole where the green is located on the level two of a three-level “hill resort”!

Olaf, March 21st, 2007 at 3:26 pmKKB Golf Course seems to be challenging and attractive to the pros. Is it possible that the club starts a golf school?
Umi, July 5th, 2007 at 11:09 pmUmi-this is indeed a very challenging course. As for starting a golf school there is up to the management of the Resort. But what a course!
Golfnick, July 6th, 2007 at 4:01 pmGolfnick, tell me more what would you expect of a golf course. From your experience on which course that you truly enjoyed your golf game most & why?
Umi, July 7th, 2007 at 5:19 pmUmi-to answer your question in the comments area would be a bit too lengthy. But you can go to Ratings of a Golf Course post. However, there are plenty of other great courses I have not mentioned here. Good Golfing!
Golfnick, July 10th, 2007 at 5:02 pmGreat post, just like always. When I’m entering your blog I’m always sure I won’t regret it. Continue writing.

We always recieved news messages from Myanmar people, they are complainted about committees of temple and please see at below.
Thanks
Dear Sir and Madam,
We are Myanmar group in Malaysia; we lived in Malaysia over decade and always went to one of temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we were very sad and regreting with the committees of temple because they are using our monks in wrong conception of Buddhist teaching or Buddhist rules. We came to temple to help our monks and respected of our religion.
That temple is president of name:Yip Kum Fook, that our monks said and he is invited our monks from Myanmar to in charge of that temple but without pay anything to our monks, added he and his not respecting of our monks and sometime he ordered of his people to collected item such as paper, mineral water etc. without inform any words to our monks. In our religious believed we can’t take anything of holy place, if we done we are sin.
In pervious, our monk said the committees always asked money from him, when our monks gave RM20,000.00 in cash on 2001 to the committees, then committees keep silent, later committees make problem with our monk again and cancelled of our monk Visa permit to stayed in Malaysia, then our monks( Sadayaw Nandiya) go to Australia and our monk not come that temple at long time. “Yip Kom Fook gave our monk notebook computer for to cover of that amount of money our monk said”
Many local people around temple said, now no more people come to this temple because committees is always make problem and we are heard from local people said: Yip Kum Fook ordered of his people to put fire of Hindu temple at Taman Daya, Kepong because he needed that place to make his business about many years ago. “Everybody known what he done for Hindu temple at Taman Daya, Kepong”
Last time also he invited police to arrest the monks at holy place(temple) and locked the temple without afraid and shameful of people because he believed committee is big and has more authority, also his son always say to people: this temple is belonging of his father. “This temple donated from public, we are work hard for this temple”
This temple the committees always changed the monks, now they change the new monk to in charge of temple, this new monk also complaint the bad things of committees because committees also wait for donation box only, they without help anything to our monks. And committees controlled of our monks not to talk more or complaint more, our monks lived there as slaver and afraid of committees members.
In new building where remaining of Buddha statue marble; we have renovation of Buddha statue because that Buddha statue is put very low, we lift to highest the committees don’t like and unhappy. In our country, anyone be able to come temple to worship the Buddha but in Malaysia is different temple controlling by committees.
We hope everyone preserve of Buddhist teachings, and please safety of our monks, not see only money as this of temple. When we asked some of our people ( Myanmar) and local people, the committees are very low of idea because is very narrow mind and without education of religions. And committees will not disturbing of our monks, monks are like our father to take care of Buddhism and temple is like our place of resolving of our problem.
Recently, our monk(Sadayaw Ashin Indaka original from Madalay, Myanmar) has been staying in this temple also unhappy because the committees are not pay anythings to him, he is working in hardly to advise people and we also unhappy and very sad when heard the bad news from our monks. Sometime the committees people came and shouting in the temple without have any reason and done what they need to do, our monk said, the committees of this temple don’t have Buddhist teachings in their mind, may be next time Buddhist can destroy.
From Myanmar Buddhist group in Malaysia but many word complaint by local Buddhist community in Malaysia. If anyone receive of this message(email), please forward or send to your friends to protection Buddhism in Malaysia.
