The ball sliced from the Tee Box hole 10 and it went OB at hole no. 18 the other side of the fairway. It has never happen before or attempted by anyone before.

I have to thank my flight mate, Hj. Drahman (mr. protem president) and Hj. Wahab our team gangster captain. It was quite competitive.. I had to play HCP 24.. coz mr. president do not recognize my HCP of 33. Hahaha… but thanks to Hj.
