The day before the wedding several people went golfing at Nirwana Golf Club with the groom, Andreas. Agnes was supposed to go too but with it being the day before the wedding of course she was too busy.
You must have a caddy at this course (and a golf cart because it's too hot to walk the entire course) and the caddies are all women who somehow don't die of heatstroke in their pants and long sleeves.
The course was designed by Greg Norman and is apparently quite challenging. Of course Martin ignored all that and played better than everybody else in his foursome. It's customary to bet on golf games in Asia and since Martin won everything he ended up not having to pay his share of the cost of the hired car that brought them to/from the golf course.
One of the neat things about Nirwana is that it is right on the Indian Ocean and there is a temple in the ocean:
You could walk to this temple during low tide but I don't think tourists are allowed over there. It is called Pura Tanah Lot, or "Temple of Land in the Middle of the Sea" and it is dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea.
There are also lots of rice terraces throughout the golf course:
And some holes where you had to hit the ball over the ocean:
And here is the foursome. The groom, Andreas, is on the right. The other two guys are from Singapore ... one of them is the husband of Agnes' cousin I believe.
Looks like it was a gorgeous place to spend a day in Bali.
