Bobby Seals Faldo Series In Jakarta At Third Attempt

SERIES BRINGS OPPORTUNITY TO INDONESIA FOR FIFTH YEAR

17 January 2012: Cahyo "Bobby" Adhitomo fired a brilliant four under par total of 140 over two rounds at the Damai Indah Golf BSD Course to win the fifth Faldo Series Indonesia Championship and qualify for the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final in China.

"This was my third Faldo Series so I am thrilled to finally win it and book my trip to the Grand Final," said the champion from Jakarta who went into the final round as joint leader. "I was shaking with nerves this morning and double-bogeyed the first hole, so I'm proud of the way I turned it around to win."

With two rounds of 70, Adhitomo won by three shots from 17-year-old Kow Elki and by four from defending champion Fahmi Reza, 20, in the Boys' Under-21 division. Better known as Bobby, the 19-year-old will now travel to Mission Hills Golf Club in China for the sixth Grand Final, to be hosted by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo on March 14-16.

50 of the country's top young golfers competed in the fifth edition of the Indonesia Championship in Jakarta, which also featured a seminar on sports psychology for players and parents. 50 younger children from the local community attended the tournament to receive free golf instruction and watch the competitors in action.

Established in 1996, 37 Faldo Series tournaments now take place in 27 countries worldwide with more than 5,000 golfers participating each year. Past winners include Major Champions Rory McIlroy and Yani Tseng.

The Faldo Series Asia is supported by major partners ISPS, Mission Hills and The R&A, official golf wear partner UFL and official suppliers TaylorMade and Tricor. It is endorsed by the Asian Tour and the Asia Pacific Golf Federation (APGC).

The 2011/2012 Faldo Series Asia schedule features 17 tournaments in 13 different countries including five in mainland China plus others in The Philippines, Vietnam, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Brunei, Japan, Chinese Taipei, Pakistan, Indonesia and Thailand.

My Jakarta: Supriatna, Caddie

Jakarta Globe, 17 Januari 2012 - There’s a sports saying here in Indonesia that the smaller the ball, the more expensive the sport. Yaya Supriatna bet on that adage as a young man, moving from his factory job in Garut, West Java, to make money as a golf caddie in Jakarta. Now 60, he has spent the past 40 years helping golfers work on their games.

Over the years at Rawamangun Golf Club, where he caddies, Yaya has made some key observations. Today he tells My Jakarta the difference between local and foreign players, how he learns from the pros and why anyone who wants to retrieve a ball from the water hazard should think again — and this time with a swimsuit.

Visit Indonesia To Promote Destinations Beyond Jakarta And Bali

Safe destination for single women travellers from India

Express TravelWorld, Januari 2012 - India is a key market for Indonesia’s inbound tourism – it is in fact one of the 10 top source markets for Indonesia. Sanjay Sondhi, country director, Visit Indonesia Tourism Office pointed out that since the outbound market is growing from India and Indians are looking for new destinations, Indonesia is therefore a natural choice as it is a new destination in South East Asia. “Indonesia has over 17,508 Islands to offer to the Indian traveller. Hence there is a potential for Indonesia to be a repeat destination for Indian tourists. There is much more beyond Bali and Jakarta and our focus will be to promote - Lombok, Yogjakarta, Surabaya and Makkasar. We are hoping for Garuda Indonesia to start direct flight from India as this will make accessibility much easier for the Indian outbound travellers,” said Sondhi. He also pointed out that single women travellers from India can confidently plan their next visit to Indonesia as it is a very safe destination for them.

Indian travellers to Indonesia have been showing a year on year growth in numbers - in 2010 as many as 145,000 Indians had travelled to Indonesia and in 2011 the number is expected to touch 160,000. Visit Indonesia Tourism Office is doubling its promotional activities in India in 2012. It is also looking at targeting cites like Ahmedabad and Kolkata besides other tier II and tier III cities like Surat, Pune, etc. “Both the countries have two factors in common- culture and friendliness, hence Indonesia is a natural draw destination for the Indian traveller,” said Sondhi.

Indonesia has been traditionally a popular destination for honeymooners from India, but now Visit Indonesia Tourism Office is very focused on promoting the country as a MICE destination and the wedding tourism segment. “We have seen a good increase in the MICE segment this year and will continue to focus on this segment. Destination weddings and special interest tours such as golf and adventure are also segments which we hope to target through various sales and marketing activities. FIT leisure segment is also a key segment for us as the destination has best of spa treatments to offer and excellent shopping experience. Family travellers are sure to have fun with numerous waterparks and theme parks available,” stated Sondhi.
