Today I got the opportunity to play golf at the Royal Brunei Golf & Country Club at Jerudong Park with my son-in-law Anth. Because it was a weekday the price is reduced, so 18 holes with a cart cost me about 36 Canadian dollars – a real bargain.

| Number 8 Tee - Royal Brunei Golf Club |
Anth calls it the “Jungle Course” and with good reason. It is the narrowest course that I have ever played. Carved out of the jungle of Borneo it not only has fairways that demand much more accuracy than I could deliver but many of the greens are the size of a parachute. Prior to coming here my friend, John White gave me a number of Taylor Made golf balls as a parting gift. I am afraid that a large number of those balls are now in the hands of monkeys or lost even deeper in the jungle. I refuse to divulge my score . . . I am so embarrassed by it.
Despite all of that, it is a beautiful track. I forgot my camera at the door as I left the house this morning so I have no pictures of this stunning golf course. This picture of the 8th hole is something I found on the internet. Next time I will have my camera in hand to prove I actually did play the Royal Brunei Golf & Country Club.
