Night golf tournament in Karawaci

TANGERANG: To celebrate the 57th anniversary of Indonesian independence, Lippo Imperial Golf Club will hold its first evening Glow Ball Golf tournament in Karawaci on Friday.

"What is unique about this event is that it will be conducted during the evening without using any lights," Chika, a spokeswoman of Lippo Karawaci told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

She said participants would play the game in the dark using glow balls.

The tournament is also aimed at establishing an Indonesian Junior Golf Foundation, which will transfer funds collected through the event to help talented, yet financially disadvantaged young golfers to develop their skills.

She said the number of participants has been limited to just 25 teams. Each team will be given two hours to play a nine-hole game.--JP
