Klogs returned to Vung Tau Vietnam after a seven-year absence. Seventeen tourists had signed up sixteen of which met at Saigon airport to catch the bus down to Vung Tau. Those taking the MAS tour flight were frustrated in having to wait for the sole Air Asia traveller – Stan, his flight being delayed and then encountering the extended queues at Vietnam Immigration. The traffic was busy and it was nearly four o’clock when we arrived at our hotel the Muong Thanh in Vung Tau. After reacquainting ourselves with the Vung Tau nightlife it was off to bed to be up bright and early for the next day’s golf.

DAY 1. Sonadezi Duc Chau

Sonadezi Duc Chau is a new addition to the Vung Tau portfolio of golf courses. This Greg Norman design was opened in 2021. The course was in good condition and relatively quiet. The weather was fine when we teed off but a storm and squall came towards the end of the round which meant seeking shelter for nearly an hour whilst the rain passed.

The overseas members were given a special welcome along with guests Andy Bryson and Charles Halford. The tour virgins were identified Brian Stubbs, Tony “Sausage” Thomas and EP.

And, the winner

1st – EL Pres 79 for 44 points.

Day 1 COTD Nominations;

• Stan spilling Tony’ Baileys on the bus, not being able to reach the towels on the top shelf of the locker and more annoyingly delaying the tour bus departure from the airport the previous day.
• Joe for hogging the toilet whilst on the phone to his missus and preventing EL Pres from using the facilities.

Whilst Joe’s crimes were significant Stan really pissed off everyone holding up the bus and was voted the clear winner

DAY 2 – Bluffs Ho Tram Day 1 of 2 Day Away Championship (Horse & Jockey)

For Day 2 we returned to Bluffs Ho Tram. This Greg Norman design is not typical of South East Asian golf courses. The course is nestled in the sand dunes and made more difficult by the strong wind that we encountered for both days here. The course was busy and play therefore quite slow. The course was in good condition.

Day 2 COTD Nominations:

The winner was unanimous – Matty taking the COTD.

DAY 3 – Bluffs Ho Tram Day 2 of 2 Day Away Championship (Horse & Jockey)

On returning to Bluffs Ho Tram for the continuation of the 2-day Klogs Away Championship we were again met by very strong winds. As is the tradition the players tee off in reverse order, those with the best scores from day 1 teeing off last. As there was a competition also going on we were all moved to the tenth tee. Due to the congested course play was slower than the previous day, the last group finishing an hour later than the previous day.

Day 3 COTD Nominations

• Matt for hitting Moneybags with his ball
• Matt for playing the long par 5 beside the road. Careering his tee shot down the road wiping out a Mercedes and 3 motorbikes, when asked on the green what his score was replied “boggy”.

Matt was voted (unanimously) COTD again.

Tour Dinner Don Quixote Spanish Restaurant

For the tour dinner we adjourned to the Don Quixote Spanish Restaurant just around the corner from the hotel. EL Pres selected a variety of starters and tourists selected their own main courses. What must be a first is the dinner was attended by all the touring party. Winner of the day Stephen treated the group with a couple of bottles of good red wine from the proceedings of his ill-gotten gains.

DAY 4 –Vung Tau Paradise Team Competition 4-man team scramble.

Teams:

1. Paul, Pietro, Charles, Brian
2. Colm, Iain, Frank, Allan
3. Stan, Peter, Andy, Stephen
4. Benji, Joe, Matty, Tony

For day 4 we had a short 20-minute bus ride to Vung Tau Paradise. Here we played the B & C nines. The weather was fine and playing off the white tees we got off on time. The course was in reasonable condition; the small greens were however very slow.

Team 2 – 4^th  Position +14                 Team 3  – 3^rd Position +9

Team 1 – 2^nd Position + 6                                      Team 4 The Winners + 5

MONEYBAGS & SCRIBE – IAIN WISE

Having moved our game from the Wednesday to the Thursday so we could play the The Valley course it was disappointing to be advised by the club 5 days before our game that the Valley would be closed and that we had been transferred back to The Garden course. After further shenanigans with the booking system, we managed to get all the flights consolidated into 2 blocks off tee boxes one and ten. Twenty players therefore got off on time. The weather was good and the course also in reasonable condition.

We were round in reasonable time and adjourned to Twelve Roads Restaurant for well-deserved beer and food.

The December game will be held on Wednesday 10^th December 2025 course to be advised. Christmas lunch and prize giving will be at the Corkman.

As always, we cannot do this without the generosity of our sponsors, Sigi for supporting our balls and Ricardo for sponsoring our wine.

A big thanks to Ricardo for taking the photos at the Restaurant and to Chez for maintain the KLOGS Blog.

Wednesday 17/09/2025

The Mines Golf Club….how the almighty have fallen. The course itself and it’s quality, gave the impression that it was competing with Bukit Unggul, yet charging like KLGCC.

Perenial favourite and outright shoe-in for the COTY this year, Joe Heggie arrived in his Porsche, with little or no shame, ready to attack that award once again. Clive Gordon noticed this, and said, “not on this day, buddy”, hence the rivilary for the day had begun. Alistair Sim was caught doing 30 push ups on the first tee, but was not fined for such actions, as he argued that, he was trying to solicit new clients. Jonny McCausland, a new entry this year, was busy trying to recover from the lack of sleep, from the previous night’s sleeping arrangements, saying the balcony is a great place to sleep and I should keep out of his business. Stan was at the game apparently, but could only be seen by the top of his head, above the blades of grass. Martin Middleton, wore his Miami Vice style lens in the rain, as to maintain his overall aura. It was for effect apparently.

Boys teed up in wet conditions, and there was a constant light rain through out the game. Under trying conditions, scoring was not high and lack of run made the course play significantly longer.

The results for who won nearest to the pins, or last birdie are being calculated by NASA, and we should have the results by 2026, but Paul awarded, and only he will tell you why, best Gross to Mike Garwood.

Lunch was held at the East of Highway Restoran, and a stalwart in the KLOGS dining roster, and which Geddes has part share….

Matty Hall, who played with Andrew Chez, the semi golf coach/mentor, performed to the best of his ability and even more….winning the Best Nett. He receives the exclusive pewter mug, which he will pass down to his cats, when he retires.

The race for for the COTD title was tight, but not to be outdone, and has become the “Edwin Moses” of COTD, Joe slipped Clive to take it on the day.

Joe Heggie – COTD for September 2025

One particular flight of Brian Stubbs, Alistair Sim, Matty Hall & Andrew Chez, were group nominated for fines on the day since they were slower than a sloth on a caffeine detox. This seems like a first in recent memory that a whole flight received such a prestigious award.

Although no photos were taken due to Alan Wright’s continous and ongoing litigation with Victoria Secret and the use of his likeness, some video was salvaged.

Becoming a bit of post game regular thing, the boys ajourned to Jalan Bangkung for frozen margaritas and watch Chez make a fool of himself.

Next game in October will be at Glenmarie Golf & Country Club, followed by 12 Roads Restaurant….

Scribe Report –

Glenmarie Valley

17^th July 2025

For the July game we once again returned to the Valley course at Glenmarie, moving the game to the Thursday as the Valley is closed on Wednesdays for maintenance. We had a record turnout for the year of 28 players which included 5 guests. The new system of players paying on line in advance worked very well with all players making payment a week before the game. A big thanks as this makes management of the game with the club so much easier. The golf course was in reasonable condition considering the extended dry spell we have been experiencing.  All flights were round in good time and we adjourned to Restoran Twelve Roads for lunch and prize giving.  

                                 Bangsar Boyz            Moneybags Offline

As EL PRES was away in Europe enjoying the Spanish sunshine proceedings were led by Moneybags. Our 5 guests were all welcomed in particular Steve Ryder who has retired to Malaysia. Steve was a friend of Moneybags in Dubai and he was given a special drink from a special mug. Joe will be worried as competition for COTD has arrived.

KOTA SERIEMAS SCRIBE REPORT

18^TH June 2025

We all got up bright and early so we could tee off first and therefore avoid the possibility of Jumbo flights impeding our progress – this was the advice given by the club management.  All went well for the first 8 holes and we sped around the course. It was then that the best laid plans of mice and men started to fall apart. The complete numpty of a starter decided to populate the course with the jumbo flights, what we were trying to avoid. The consequences were that the second nine holes for all flights took nearly 3 hours. The management when confronted about this couldn’t give a toss. Needless to say, Kota Seriemas is now on the black list and won’t be revisited until things have improved. This is a shame as the course is good and also reasonably priced.

Lunch was taken at the ever-reliable Restoran East of Highway. Most players were there quite quickly apart from our intrepid travellers Joe and Lee who managed to arrive nearly half an hour after everyone else and thus missed the excellent serving of pork two ways. The food was excellent and accompanied by ample quantities of beer and wine

EL Pres got the prize giving underway by welcoming our guests Steve Hopgrove and Garry Noble on his second game. Klogs were also pleased to make Alastair Sims a member.

On to the NTP’s.

Joe made it a Hatrick of consecutive COTD’s and was back on familiar territory

Joe Heggie – COTD

Following on from Joe’s antics on the recent May Away his friends have been concerned for his safety. Joe was therefore presented with some flotation aids and a one-hour swimming lesson courtesy of Klog’s own water polo Olympian.

The November Away will be to Vung Tau between the 17^th and 22^nd November 2025 details are presently being finalised and will be issued shortly.

Tour Lead and Moneybags:   Iain Wise

Whip Master: Matt Hall

Fines Master: Frank Mackenzie

EL Pres could not it make due to business commitments, the tour was therefore led by Moneybags. Ten players attended the May 2025 Away to South of Chonburi, 9 members and one guest Andy Bryson a friend of Moneybags from Dubai. Our base for the week was the Areca Lodge Hotel. Similar problems to our last visit with bus access were encountered which meant we were ferried by the hotel buggy to and from the bus each day. This did not cause much inconvenience as it enabled us to bypass the major traffic jams. After checking in we met in a bar across the road called Luck 1. This bar had odd bar stool arrangements and for later nights we met at Heartbeat.

DAY 1. Laem Chabang

We returned to familiar territory playing Laem Chabang on day 1. The course did not let us down and was as ever in excellent condition, and was probably the best course we played during the tour. We played A & B nines and as the course was quite empty, we got away ahead of time and were back in the club house earlier than expected.

With a small field the tour leader decided that players could win multiple times as he did not want to return with balls to Kuala Lumpur.

The overseas members were given a special welcome along with our sole guest Andy Bryson.

DAY 2 – Chee Chan Golf Course Day 1 of 2 Day Away Championship (Horse & Jockey)

Day 2 took us to the relatively new Chee Chan Golf Resort; we would play this course twice for the 2 days away Championship. On arrival we were me by a persistent drizzle so we all took shelter at the driving range where we took the tour group photo. Again, the course was quiet and play was fast for the 2 three balls who finished an hour in front of the lethargic fourball made up of the four musketeers.

The course played long even when we reverted to the white tees for the second nine. It was buggy on track due to the large overnight downpour. The weather was again very hot which affected the scoring of the older teams!!!! The course and clubhouse are starting to look a little tired. With ten players we had 2 threeballs and a fourball and played a KLOGS version of adapted Scramble. 

Team 1 – 3^rd Position +12                              Team 2 – 2^nd Position +10

Team 3 – 1^st Position +4

COTD Nominations:

• Joe – for trying to keep up with Matt
• Matt. – For continuing his habit of ringing a bell in every bar, for being wasted and out of service

Matt was voted COTD for the second day running

 COTT Nominations:

A vote was then taken for the COTT and there was not much argument. Our day 1 & 2 COTD winner – and KLOGS 100m breast stroke champion. For his antics in the pond Joe got his just reward.

                      Matt COTD Day 4                      Joe Heggie graciously accepts his COTT.
