Last week the Enjoy Jakarta Ladies Indonesia Open was held at the Palm Hill Golf Club along the Jagorawi toll road, just south of Jakarta.
Besides it being the most lucrative event on the Ladies Asian Golf Tour in 2012, what attracts most attention in the international media is the participation of Miss Indonesia 2012, and top 15 finalist in the 2012 Miss World pageant, Inez Putri Tjiptadi, an accomplished amateur golfer from the island of Bali.
Although one can argue that her looks overshadowed the accomplishments of the female golfers in the field, she undoubtedly brought the world's attention to ladies golf in general and the Ladies Asian Golf Tour and golf in Indonesia in particular.
From this perspective we can only hope that her performance on the golf course soon will outshine her performance on the catwalk, and that after her reign as Miss Indonesia comes to an end she will be able to reign on the golf course and become a ambassador for golf in Indonesia.
Below are some of the articles that headline Miss Indonesia in the international media:
