Twenty-two Kloggers attended the picturesque Glenmarie Golf & Country Club to play the Valley course; considering the recent incessant rain, the course was in superb condition with the greens running well and true.   Play got off on time with a two-tee box start; despite the rain returning twice and a short interruption for some due to lightning, we all managed to complete our rounds.   A remarkable feat considering the monsoon afternoon weather that has been prevailing over the last 2 weeks.  

For those leaving the course early, the traffic was not too bad; for flight 6, it was nearly 7.30pm by the time they arrived at the Pantai Seafood restaurant.   Jimmy was even later having stopped for a burger on the way.  Here we were joined by our Groupies, Barry and Richard. Food was ordered by El Pres and promptly served after the arrival of the latecomers, who were later fined for their tardiness.  Thanks to Nicky for providing the excellent red and white wine.

COTD

There were several nominations for COTD;  the main contenders were : 

1. Nicky proposed all those that did not hear the lightning siren.
2. Stuart proposed Bernhard as, when looking for Stuarts ball, thought he had found the ball but then declared it was a piece of paper
3. Edwin proposed Nicky for causing caddie confusion
4. Siggi for not knowing what 9 inches is in metric equivalent.

The voting was close between Nicky and Bernhard but after a second check, Bernhard was declared the winner.

 

November Away

(Update) There is now room for one more on the November Away to make up the full compliment of 24 players.   Contact El Pres if you are interested in joining.
