Hole-in-one gives Sugiri new sedan

JAKARTA: Rafi Sugiri from Jakarta did what every golfer dreams of on Wednesday when he hit a hole-in-one at the 4th annual Radius Prawiro Cup at the Satelindo golf club near Bogor and drove home in a new car for his feat.

The 44-year-old Rafi, a 16 handicap using a pitching wedge, drove his shot high and hard off the tee and it went straight into the cup on the par-3 130-yard 4th hole.

"It was a really, really lucky shot for me. No one ever imagined that my drive would go directly in," Rafi said with a big smile.

Some 150 amateur golfers from around Jakarta took part in the one-day event which offered handsome prizes on each of the four par-3 holes, including a Mercedes Benz A-140 and a Grand Escudo XL7.

The prestigious Radius Prawiro Cup title went to Arie D, a 2 handicap, after he shot a 2-under 70 (35 35). The Best Net Overall score title was won by Achmad C (handicap 18) with a net score of 67. --JP
