We’ve checked out from our hotel this morning and will play the last game shortly at Tawau Golf Club. It’s been hot, challenging but good and fun.
As always I look forward to our next outing with the same crazy bunch.

Again!
3 MaySo we played at Shan Shui again today. Simply because we thought we played here yesterday, we would be familiar with the course.
But no. I lost another four balls today. Sigh, I shouldn’t complain. It was self-inflicted. Good fun though.
Tomorrow is our last day in Tawau and it will be an early tee off at Hot Spring Tawau Golf Club. How fast time flies when one is having fun.
Tonight we are eating at Yah Hoo Restaurant again. Simply because the food is good. But the choices are different save for the fish porridge which we had two nights ago. All in all this trip has been wonderful.
What Shall We Do?
3 MayIt is Day 3 and we changed our plans. Although we decided to tee off at 12.30pm at Shan Shui, we woke up early to go out for breakfast instead of dining on the free breakfast in the hotel. The venue: a noodle shop next to Kam Ling, it was yet another good and hearty meal.
After that, the van took us to go buy some dried seafood. It was a quick stop and once we were done with our purchases, we visited the local wet market. It was nice to see the wonderful colors of vegetables out on display.
With two and a half more hours to kill, we decided to check out the original 9-hole Tawau Golf Club and sit at its Clubhouse for a drink. The other Tawau Golf Club which we played at on Day 1 is also known as Hot Spring.
Where’s the Crocodile?
2 MayShan Shui is obviously different compared to Tawau Golf Club which was very narrow. And it has a star attraction. Actually had. At the Par 3 and we heard the sad end to it.
After our game, we were seated at the Clubhouse, the Golf Director came and joined us and told us tales of how the resident crocodile ate one of his worker! Oh my goodness. We were horrified.
It seems that the worker was encroaching on the nesting beast, prodding the edge of the pond with a stick looking for lost golf balls, and mama was not happy about this. So out she leaped from the pond and grab him by the leg.
The next day, the body was discovered with the tummy section gone. Gulp… Something had to be done then. With a plan and the aid of several agencies, the resident croc was nabbed and killed. Hence, when we played today, no croc leaped out from the pond to grab us by the legs as we walked near it to approach the green. Phew.
And since we had a good time today, everyone agreed to the plan to play Shan Shui again tomorrow and play Tawau Golf Club on Monday instead.
Welcome to Tawau!
1 MayWe arrived in time at Tawau Airport. The weather has been good unlike what we googled up, prior to departure, through Accuweather.com which said rain and thunderstorm!
Nonetheless, Tawau Golf Club is one very challenging golf course. Up and down the hills with narrow fairways and many blind holes, I lost a good six balls! Only one game and the loss is way more than my four rounds in Bangkok and Hua Hin the week before.
We are all having noodle soup and beer now to replenish our energy before a hot shower and the real seafood dinner.
Life is good.
