Scribe Report
Templer Park
Wednesday 15th April 2015
Bright & Breezy
Twenty Kloggers turned up to play at Templer Park which was in superb condition, initially under breezy conditions we commenced the round where we encountered lush fairways and superfast greens. The scoring was as ever for this venue not good, thank God we persuaded El Pres to retreat from his Nero like folly of making us play off the blue tees. With a two tee start we were all round in 4 1/2 hours, reasonable timing considering the severity of the course (It should be noted the course marshall thought otherwise).
Results
The results of the day were as follows:
- 1st – El Pres 89 for 37 points (cut 4)
- 2nd – Ray Funnell 94 for 35 points (cut 2)
- 3rd – Paul Geddes 90 for 34 points (cut 1)
- NTP front nine – A sleeve of balls went to Andrew Barber
- NTP back nine – A sleeve of balls went to El Scribe
- Longest Drive – Stuart Taylor 285 yards (dodgy tape measure!!!)
- Lowest gross – Karl Muir 92
- Last Birdie – Ooops El Pres forgot this (in his ardent quest for fines seems to have been overlooked)
Fines – Very Lucrative details as follow –
Roger McGowan no Kloggs shirt, four failures to pass the red tee box, Ray Funnell for leaving early to attend a meeting, Mike Smith and El Scribe forgetting to pay their caddy, several for chickening out on the 18th, several for discussing politics.
The full results are:
After the game we journeyed to Tang Dynasty Restaurant on the way back into KL. After some delay 19 eventually made it. All present enjoyed a very good meal with the usual copious quantities of refreshments, on this occasion 32 bottles of tiger and 12 bottles of wine, you can hear Moneybags groaning again.
It should be noted that nearly half the score cards returned were incorrectly tallied. For the June game fines may be applied for scorecard misdemeanours.
El Pres gave an update that the May Away is confirmed to be held in Hua Hin Thailand, and he will issue the final costings in the next couple of days followed by collection of the dosh. El Pres thanked our sponsors Old Club House, Wines Direct and the Renaissance Hotel KL.
COTD Nominations
- El Pres laid up putt on the par 3 eleventh, along with bribery on the 18th tee box almond sweets to playing partners.
- Bernhard Romahn for a Double Rommel .on the 16th (Bunker to Bunker), spending 20 minutes looking for his ball and causing traffic chaos with the traffic light system on the 12th.
- Stuart Taylor for searching everywhere for his car keys when all the time they were in his pocket.
- Paul Geddes advising El Pres by text that he was running late due to an extended doctor’s appointment “I am coming …. might be tight but I will come”.
The Desert Fox took the award by storm.
El Pres once again thanked Karl for his service to the society and rewarded him by bestowing him with life membership, Moneybag groaning again.
After the novelty prizes El Pres had the pleasure in presenting himself with the winner’s mug and swiftly downed his winner’s drink.
El Pres asked the group to consider occasionally paying increased game cost which would enable playing the better courses. El Pres auctioned off a fourball for Sungai Long, Paul Geddes paying 600 bucks for the privilege. El Pres thanked everyone and for those not going on the away hopes to see you all again for the June game.
