Bangalore (now Bengaluru), Karnataka, India.
 The
capital city of Karnataka, Bangalore, the fifth
largest city in India, is the perfect blend
of natural beauty and man-made marvels of architecture
and technology. Blessed with a salubrious climate
and dotted with beautiful parks, its tree-lined
avenues, its trendy, yuppie downtown, and the
software flood, Bangalore truly offers one a
picture of striking contrasts. The bazaars and
shopping malls of Bangalore offer a fine selection
of silks, sandalwood souvenirs, handicrafts
and fragrant incense sticks. Dotted with modern
marvels, lush boulevards, historical monuments
and bustling shopping plazas, Bangalore, aptly
called the Silicon Valley of India, is every
tourist’s dream destination. The main attractions
here include the Bull Temple: the Vidhaan Soudha,
a marvel of neo-Dravidian architecture, housing
the state legislative assembly of Karnataka
and park of the Secretariat; Tipu’s Palace,
entirely built of teakwood. Bangalore is a city,
which not only has a large number of cinema
halls but is also famous for its nightlife.
A night on the town normally kicks off with
a bar crawl along Brigade Road, Residency Road
and Church Street where scores of swish pubs
compete with MTV, lasers and thumping sound
systems.

 Founded
on June 24, 1876, redesigned by Peter
Thomson, Bangalore Golf Course is the
second oldest golf course in India. The
par 71, 6650 yards, the eighteen-hole
course started with browns, which were
later converted to greens. The scarcity
of water in the area is a major constraint
and the course has very few water hazards.
Besides trees and deep ditches, the major
hazard on the course is the Bangalore
crow that often picks up the ball, mistaking
it for an egg. It is therefore, not surprising
that the logo of the Bangalore Golf Club
depicts a Crow with a ball in its beak.
Though the fairways at the Bangalore
Golf Club are fairly dry and sandy, the
greens are lush and well manicured. Drives
have to be well planned to avoid the rocky
parts of the fairway, where the ball tends
to veer off and change direction. The
greens are invariably trapped by large
bunkers. A large number of flowering trees,
which include the colourful gulmohar,
palm and eucalyptus, are planted along
the tight fairways. The course is remarkable
in that 18 holes have been deftly packed
into just 60 acres of land.
