Free beer for golfers at Imperial Golf Club

JAKARTA (JP): The Imperial Golf Club at Lippo Karawaci,
Tangerang, is offering free beer to golfers who wish to
participate in six tournaments on Saturdays and Sundays in
January.

Organizer Perucha Hutagaol said on Friday the free beer
campaign for the golfers was sponsored in cooperation with the
golf club and PT Multi Bintang Indonesia, a privately owned beer
company.

"We are offering free beer not only for its promotion, but to
attract as many participants as possible (Indonesians and
expatriates). We expect about 200 golfers will take part in the
six tournaments on Jan. 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 and 30," Perucaha told
The Jakarta Post.

But Perucha said that golfers had to book first in order to
get the free beer. Golfers may choose a start time from between 6
a.m. and 8 a.m. or 11 a.m. until night.

Booking fees are Rp 309,500 for weekend mornings and Rp
240,000 for weekend afternoons. Prices include green fees, caddy
fees, tax and golfer's insurance.

"The golfers will have to play 18 holes to receive the free
beer, which is unlimited in quantity," Perucha said.

Apart from the free beer, Perucha said the club would give
away five crates of canned beers plus a one-year membership to
any golfer who could make a hole in one.

She added that the other purpose to hold the six tournaments
was to let the golfers do business on the field. "They may talk
or do business either on the field or at the clubhouse."

Perucha further said it was the first time the club had held
such an event.

"The club is considering to hold the event annually. It all
depends on the sponsor and enthusiasm of the participants," said
Nina Puspita, also from the club. (lnt)
