Malaysia | Hello from the Five Star Vagabond

Singapore Malaysia border.

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

Legends Golf Club Malaysia is a 90 minute drive from Singapore. In 2007 my friends and I (all legends) decided it was time to tame this course.

Is that Casey Stoner ?

This colour coordinated guy shot past us like a guided missile. 🙂

This is more our speed

As you can imagine it is far too hot to walk the course.

Unless we meet one of these guys

Then we go faster, much faster. 🙂

Here we are Legends in our own lunch time

Duncan Paul, David Herd, Steven Bates and our sweet caddies.

The course was magnificent.

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, The Legends is one of the toughest tests of golf in South-East Asia. Legends can be best described as dramatic and can always be found in excellent condition.

The original concept of this resort included three championship courses: one designed by Jack Nicklaus, one by Arnold Palmer, and one by Gary Player. Only the Nicklaus course and nine holes of the Palmer course have been finished, though. The Gary Player course remains in the planning phase.

The par-72, 18-hole Jack Nicklaus course opened to golfers in 1997. This 6,710-metre (7,338-yard) course features views of the neighboring palm oil plantation. Don’t be surprised if monkeys stop to check out your game on the back nine too.

Legends Golf Club Malaysia Lovely par 3

Legends Golf Club Malaysia is a beautiful course, if you are a golfer put it on your bucket list.

We almost had the course to ourselves

A guy called John Hallisey said “My worst day on the golf course still beats my best day in the office.”

Where else would you rather be?

We almost had the course to ourselves.

My lovely caddy

With two hole to go the storm came in and blew us off the course as so often happens in South East Asia.

Langkawi island Malaysia

September 23, 2013 by David Herd

Asian Tropical Island

Langkawi island Malaysia

Langkawi island Malaysia which many people have never heard of. My apologies if I sound a little negative about this tropical island, however it really offered nothing that couldn’t be found on other islands which I prefer. Such as Koh Samui or Koh Chang in Thailand.

Our hotel on the beach.

Langkawi island Malaysiawas traditionally thought to be cursed. However, in 1986 then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad decided to transform it into a tourist resort, helping to plan many of the islands buildings himself.

Restaurant on the beach.

Our hotel on the beach was fine, the beach was nice but there was nothing there that rang any bells for me. I am sure however there is a lot more to the island than we saw.

Langkawi island Malaysia para sailing

As you can see they have all the usual water sports here, Para Sailing and Jet Skis.Cocktails on the beach.

Cocktails on the beach.

Even my brother Warren who is virtually a non drinker is enjoying a cocktail on the beach in Langkawi island Malaysia.

Langkawi island Malaysia, a cluster of 105 islands separated from mainland Malaysia by the Straits of Malacca, is a district of the state of Kedah in Northern Malaysia and lies approximately 51 km west of Kedah. The total land mass of the islands is 47,848 hectares. The main island spans about 25 km from north to south and slightly more for east and west. The coastal areas consist of flat, alluvial plains punctuated with limestone ridges. Two-thirds of the island is dominated by forest-covered mountains, hills and natural vegetation.
