Templer Park
Wednesday 9th December 2015
Weather Management Fantastic
Nineteen Players turned up for the Christmas pantomime at Templer Park which in spite of recent heavy rain was in good condition. Five flights all started on hole one, the first flight being back in the hut in reasonable time, the later flights were not so fast. The threat of afternoon rain came and went so that we all avoided a soaking. It was good to see some old faces back and also our guest Arthur Rodwell on his yearly pilgrimage to Malaysia.
The results of the day were as follows:
- 1st – El Pres with a tremendous 83 for 40 points (cut 4) (he also won here in April with a similar stableford score
- 2nd – Richard Rodwell 85 for 39 points (cut 2) who kindly donated his bottle of wine to the 2nd highest gross of the day Roger McGowan.
- 3rd – Ron Linden 102 for 34 points (cut 1)
- NTP front nine – A sleeve of balls went to Allan Wright
- NTP back nine – A sleeve of balls went to Stuart Taylor
- Longest Drive – a sleeve of balls to Richard Rodwell with a drive of 278 yards.
- Lowest gross – a sleeve of balls to Geoff McLaws 86
- Last Birdie – a sleeve of balls to Bernhard Romahn
Fines – Reasonable
Mike Smith a set of jugs, all for complaining about the food
The full results are:
After the game we went to Tang Dynasty Restaurant on the way back into KL, 18 eventually making it. This once reliable restaurant has had a change of management and has gone downhill, the service was poor and the portions small. A new restaurant for this course needs to be found. Twelve bottles of wine were readily consumed along with numerous bottles of beer.
El Pres advised that the AGM would be held at KGSAAS on Wednesday 20th January 2016. He asked members to give some consideration to who would be COTY, a list of possible candidates to be issued shortly.
El Pres thanked our sponsors Old Club House, Wines Direct and the Renaissance Hotel KL.
COTD nominations:-
- Mike Smith many sins including – Greeting Roger McGowan as though he would not survive the afternoon. For having 2 jugs For turning 77 For winning on the November away.
- El Pres also many sins including : For not topping up his beer because he knew he was the day’s winner. For talking too fast
- Paul Geddes for ordering lunch when it was already provided.
- Stuart Taylor for teeing up his ball in the drop zone
- Johann for knocking his putt 10ft past the hole and then blaming his caddy for not telling him it was down hill
The 2 leading contenders could not be separated despite the photo finish, so Co-COTD was awarded.
Our sponsors are a main reason that we can play at good golf courses and award members with trophies, attractive prizes as well as “KLOGS” signature golf balls. In order to show our appreciation we encourage members to support our sponsors.
