Unless I am trying out a new swing at the adjacent fairway, I'd say it's pretty safe.

tks for e assurance, saw a golfer recently using some sort of safety helmet at JGC on 1 May, so still safe wi u swing from anywhere too

Wear safety helmet when golfing at Daiman 18. Pretty risky with balls flying from opposite direction.

Agree, always bring helmet to Daiman.

If u hve strong feelg abt nt being safe in Malaysia, dun play then.
Go w yr instinct.
Had a gd PM game yest bt noticed tat the course was pretty empty!
Palm Villa JB.

I had two rounds last week. The course was pretty empty on both occasions. One was just after the election; post-election hang-over. The other was just after the opposition kelana jaya rally; post-rally hang-over. I guess the crowd will be back in full force next week; sigh!

went inyesterday to run errands, went in tdy to golf, came back in one piece. save for the traffic, everything is as usual. fyi.

The safety in jb as per before election. Don't think anything will change to make it worse or better at the moment.

sorry to hijack and OT a bit If you have 2 daYS for 2 rounds...where would one go in order to maximise travelling time. Was thinking of pulai springs and followed by Impian emas..heard fr a Bro here PulaiSprings have promo. Have checked with Palm Resort. Very exp with the stay and play package. thanks

Can go just remember not leave your passport inside the car.....for myself I even carry on my body during the game.

I just came back from kl for 4d3n. Brought my family inclusive of 2 kids to genting and mid valley. Nothing much concerning abt the safety.

Just barely finished a round today and here's my updated take.

It is definitely NOT SAFE to golf in Malaysia for now.

The weather was so hot, I could barely stay upright, never mind lag a putt.

So, the real danger is from sun burn, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, etc. Not a peep from any public disorder though.

Am avoiding golf for now until the weather gets milder.

Just went jb for golf yesterday

Ping ping ann ann bo dai ji

But agreed wth bro Lee36328, real danger is the super hot wether

Hi...Dont worry too much....everyday causeway also jam. Golf in Johore should be safe la. Recently been playing at Palm Resort ,Starhill and Austin Hill, no problem.

Had consecutive two games on wed/ thurs. Smooth despite traffic at the custom has build up abit.
Yest my biggest threat was the weather!
It rained!

Actually in Malaysia, there are crimes.....some of them includes:

Maid abuse,
Bribery
Assault.....road bully
robbery,
rape
and of coz, sex for favor too.



I think its important to take precaution.

Dun we have these in SGP.... as well as other parts of the Globe too?

Think it is relative safe to go as I had a social game a week back also.
Smooth traffic and as long you stay within a group and don't park carelessly.

My friends car's side window got broke in while park in a remote alley far from their makan place though.

I think the question now should be "Do you feel safe or comfortable to golf in Malaysia" rather than "Safe to golf in Malaysia now".

If you:

a) Feel insecure golfing in Malaysia, then better don't go.
b) Fear about the unrest or rioting (which is not happening in JB), then better don't go.
c) Feel uneasy about the current situation, then better don't go.
d) Your gut feel tells you that all is not well going in, then better don't go in.

What if someone gave a wrong advice and say no problem going in, then something happened to you whilst there, who is to be blamed?

At the end of it, it boils down to you yourself making the final decision.

And I can safely say all the unrest, rioting, etc... is not going to happen in JB. Would you believe me?

Enjoy golfing while you still can.

Hi Guys;

I work in jb, am here 5 days a week. Its business as usual, cowboy town as usual.

Whatever you like to do in jb before the election, be it golf or makan or shopping or LEGOLAND, you can continue... just take the usual precautions and minimize risk. between customs n golf course, you only risk is TP ambush u for speeding/coss red light. Anywhere else, it's cowboy town rules!

That said, not ideal weather for golf though, either too hot or sudden heavy downpour causing minor flooding/ponding in low lying areas. Almost the same pattern every day.

went to Johor the last two weeks. No problem.
Just take the usual precautions as you would in any foreign land.
happy golfing.
