The September 2020 game was held at the picturesque Glenmarie Golf & Country Club; El Pres had now settled back into his role, while our VP (Iain Wise) had made a valiant effort to return to Malaysia but had been turned back at KLIA.   Our official Aussie scribe was enjoying a period of quarantine so (hopefully) will be able to take back his role in October. 

With an early morning start again, 18 players including 3 guests (Vind Sidhu, Tsusaki & Albert) teed-off at ~8am on the Valley Course with a 2 tee box start, with the first flight finishing ~ 12.05pm despite slow play from the flight in front.  The weather rapidly became sunny & hot.  The course was in very good condition and relatively dry; bunkers were optional. 

We then enjoyed a good meal at Pantai Seafood, where we were joined by Barry Cousins and Andrew Robinson.   Needless to say, numerous bottles of beer were consumed, together with good wines provided by Ricardo Castro (our sponsor for the wine prize).  The day wrapped up for most ~ 3.30pm. 

Results

The day was a day of big points scores, with 7 players bettering or equaling their handicaps.  The September medal winner, by a huge margin was Andrew Chez, with what we believe, is the first ever sub-par round of 71 for 48, including 5 birdies (cut 8); Thomas Stadler was again second with 82 for 43 (cut 5) with Ricardo Castro third on countback with 82 for 40 (cut 1).   Albert won a sleeve of balls for his lowest gross of 81 (Andrew having won the big prize).  Ricardo was the only one that made the green on 15 but had already won a prize for second place.

COTD

We only had one person nominated this month (twice) for COTD so the decision was clear.

1. Robert Frager – for correctly wearing a KLOGS shirt, but with the name Klaus & position Scribe on the sleeves.
2. Klaus Frager (again) – for dropping out of the August game, citing injury, only to be shopped by his mates golfing elsewhere with a post on Whatsapp!.

Fines

There were (surprisingly) few fines this month, with only one jug

Next Game
