An excellent turnout of 28 players for the Christmas game at Glenmarie. The membership were treated to festive chocolates before play. It was good to welcome His Excellency Nicky Lambsdorf, the German Ambassador, to the group. We were off exactly on time with the usual two-tee box start. The recent wet weather always threatened but held off until 5 o’clock when the heavens eventually opened. The shower whilst heavy lasted only until 5-30 and those that wished to were able to return to the course to finish their rounds.
Dinner was at Pantai Seafood Restoran; most people arrived quickly, however those that used wrong WAZE were significantly delayed, including Ricardo, Niall and Roland, the latter arriving after 8-30pm when all the food had already been devoured. It was great to see John Arkinstall and Barry Cousins, who joined us for dinner.
Paul Geddes did an excellent job ordering the food and also assisted El Pres in checking the scorecards as Ricardo was still lost on the way.
A good show with all members sporting their festive attire. EL PRES rented out some spare hats and with a little swapping and imagination with Bernie’s shirt no one was fined for dress code violations. Thanks also to those that contributed bottles Stan, Hans, Enzo joining the example set by El Pres – most appreciated. The remainder have until next month to seek a reprieve,
EL PRES welcomed our guests, Louis Eyles, Bernd Kaiser and Nick Lambsdorf who unfortunately could not make dinner due to another engagement.

The result was straight forward with Ricardo scoring 86 for 42 points (cut 6), second was Kaswira with 88 for 38 points (cut 2) and third was Juerg Stoll with 99 for 37 points (cut 1).

COTD
We had several nominations; the main contenders are summarized below.
- Ricardo for having a net 86 which when doubled equaled the number of seconds 172 for him to drink his winners reward. Ricardo for being one of the first to leave the club and be nearly last to get to the restaurant. Ricardo for causing confusion on hole 2 NTP by removing the tape from the green so the following flights could not record their distances.
- EL PRES for not providing protection for the novelty hole record sheets which got very wet with the rain.
- Ray Funnel for cursing his caddy for giving him the wrong club then hitting it only 5 metres.
Ricardo was voted COTD.
