\"So far we have had four hole-in-ones in the last two years.
\nThree were made in last year's league and another hole-in-one was
\nachieved two years ago. I hope the golfers can card more hole-in-
\nones,\" president of the league's main sponsor PT Repex Perdana
\nInternational, Harsha E. Joesoef, told a media conference at the
\nFinancial Club on Tuesday to launch the league.<\/p>\n
Also speaking at the conference were Barbara Janthy Speirs of
\nevent organizer Golf Links Indonesia and the initiator Alan
\nClarke of Singapore-based John Burgess Associates.<\/p>\n
\"The league is designed as an event where participants can
\nmake business contacts and network as well as entertain clients
\nor would-be clients while playing golf,\" said Barbara.<\/p>\n
Clarke emphasized the importance of having limited number of
\nparticipants.<\/p>\n
\"There are 26 teams, comprising of four players each, who have
\nalready signed up, though we expect a couple more teams to
\nregister. But we will limit the number of teams in the league,\"
\nhe said.<\/p>\n
\"Since the league is designed as a corporate hospitality event
\ninstead of a real golf competition, it is inconvenient to have
\ntoo many participants.\" (nvn)<\/p>",
