Hi Nientsu,

Thanks for organising the game.

Assuming we take 4 1/2 hours to complete 18 holes, we will finish by 3pm or 3.30pm?

If the coach picks us up at 3.30pm than some of us may not have the time to shower.

Either we tee off a little early at 9am, or we have to take a later ferry back. So we don't have to rush.

Just my two cents worth.

Cheers

Hey Constance

Sure thing.

Will let Palm Spring know that we will tee off anytime between 9am to 10am. Usually they are quite flexible

Me ok
Thanks nientsu for arranging.

I'm OK. Thanks nientsu. As this is my 1st time going, anything else I need to know or prepare? How do we pay the S$158? Do they accept credit cards? Need Rupee for tips, etc.? Sori, complete swa ku here.

Hi Scotty2010, batam turi and palmm springs caddies accepts SG currency too.
So not necessary to change stacks of rupiahs.

You might only need to deposit your credit card upon checking in.
As for payment of $158, nientsu..do we pay you on the actual day at TMFT?

hey guys

Impt Note :
zhenxua : You got email! I need some more details. Pls reply soon can?

Motokah : Are you going in the same timing as us?

Payment : All payment will be made at Palm Spring Clubhouse itself.

Important Timing :

10am, Sunday 11 July, we have to collect tickets at BATAMFAST counter Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. Our Ferry is 11am SG Time. This also applies to all daytrippers accompanying us.

For Daytrippers : You guys will be taking the 630pm (BTM) return ferry back to Singapore.

Ferry time back to SG : 430pm BTM, on 12 July

Checking-in :

We will probably check-in after our first game on Sunday. Zhenxua : Eventhoughyou not playing on Sunday, payment will still have to be made at the Palm Spring Clubhouse. However, I will make arrangement for you to go back to Turi Beach so that you can check in early.

Tipping :

In Batam, one caddy will be assigned to a buggy of 2 golfers. I think, the mkt rate is about $15 - $20 per golfer. If you are a single golfer in a buggy, you probably would have to fork out $25 - $30. Honestly, am not too sure about this as its been 1.5 years since I step into Batam. Maybe someone can advise on this...

Water :

You can buy water at the customs. For isotonic drinks, you can drink on your own too.


Flight details : will be out in a few hours time.

Hi Malcom,

Have you sent the updated list over to the batam contact?
Monday flight, i want to be in sunny's flight and if possible, not be in the last flight.

Thanks!

Regards,
Moon

I am not sure what is the market rate. On a couple of occassions, I was told, Buggy of 2 golfers - Each golfer forks out S$10 each.
Single golfer in single buggy $20.

If we get those 'A' list caddy, we give $10 to $20 more.

The last time I signed this package to play at Palm Springs was back in March 10. We paid Rp100000 (15-20 sgd) to our caddy per day. They usually assign the same caddy to you the next day.
