Born in 1979 Bagus begins playing his golf when he was 11. His father introduce him the game and he has been fascinated with the game since he first took a swing. He was a 5 handicapped in early 2000 before injuring his knee during a soccer game. The long lay off (nearly 2 years) never loosen his passion for the game. Although still struggling with his constant pain inside his left knee cap, he have muster back his handicapped (well, close enough) to 9th handicapped on august 2003 and progressing well.

"Golf is a passion in mind, to concentre, yet to relax. It is a sport and recreation yet a game to win, particularly against yourself". With his motto (coincidently inherited from his father) he looks at golf today more as his hobby rather then an ambition.

"the fire is still burning" he said but "it will never burn the woods" he continued.

A great golf course design by 'The Great white shark' Greg Norman, arguably one of the most succesful golf course designer in Australia, yet the world. The Nirwana Bali Golf Course overlook the Indian Ocean with Bali's most famous temple the "Tanah Lot", majestically silhouetted in the background.

Greg Norman himself, who enjoyed an illustrious success with more then 80 victories in his professional careers such as the British Open in 1986 and 1993 regards this course as golfer's dreamland, and as the name itself, translated in Balinese as Nirvana or Moksah (the afterlife world), the Nirwana Bali Golf Course certainly prove a heaven on Earth every serious golfer's would dreamed of playing.

The Nirwana Bali Golf hosted the Bali invitational 2002 for Bali for the world recovery program after the devastating Bali Bombing tragedy (oct 12th) 2002 with Nick Faldo, Robert Allenby and Ernie Els took part in the charity game.
