PIPI 2009, the short name for the event will be held the week after the British Open, next July 23 through 26.

To take into account the facts that local pro or amateur golfers had not had any lucky breaks in the event, Ancora Sports will put together two tournaments leading to the PIPI main event. These two competitions, under the auspice of Indonesia Professional Golf Association, will help elevate local players’ chances to better confront their competitors from foreign soils.

The series are intended to support local talents, be it professionals or amateurs alike, to prepare themselves in the tough competition ahead. Starting from Gading Serpong, the quest begins in May 26-29 and ends at the Imperial in Mid-June. Apart from that, the series are meant to give opportunities for locals to sharpen their dexterity in real testing situation. Both courses are known for their uniqueness.

Although Gading Serpong has always been known as ‘easy’ course, but the set-up will ensure bona fide strain among competitors as the Par-5 hole 18 will be cut down to a Par-4 layout. But for fairness sake, the teeing ground will be moved forward. But giving the nature of green 18, any player who safely home their ball might find the green to be a true experience, with its undulating contour resulting in unexpected breaks.

Having this as their first professional tournament, the Gading Serpong management, particulary the superintendent, have promised to carry out a featful upshot that will transform the Graham Marsh design a real test. By making a few adjustments here and there, they can ascertain that the course is ready to be at par with other championship courses.
