Be at the course by 6.45am! Absolutely unheard of for a K.L.O.G.S game.

Another great day out for our K.L.O.G.S members and guest. Palm Garden is always a great course to play and its fairway conditions are second to none. 23 avid kloggers started very early from the blue tee boxes in six flights, 3 on the Eugennia 9 and 3 on the Bismarck 9. We all finished in relatively good time in very warm but pleasant weather, before heading to the Restoran East of Highway for the usual joviality and warmth.

Aside from the very inconsistent greens that were playing anywhere between 6 and 10 feet on the Stimp meter, and were extremely frustrating, there wasn’t too much other whingeing. This golf course never disappoints.

Winners:

Our April winner was our own El Pres who scored a very credible 82 for 38 points.

Our guest Scott Milton, playing only his second round with KLOGS, was ineligible to win after his 85 for 38 points but full credit to him on the round and for not forcing me to do a count-back.

Second place went to Albert Koh with 36 Stableford points.

Third place to Robert Frager, one of our long time sponsors, with 34 points.

After a somewhat confusing but always tasty lunch service, El Pres opened the floor for the presentation of prizes. He thanked the attendees for coming and then launched.

Once again, there was no-one at the bag drop to check in. However, when reception opened shortly before our tee time, our cards were ready before play. We were all off on time on two tee boxes and ‘most’ finished in relatively good time. Bearing this in mind, all flights must keep up with the flight in front as much as possible.” There was also some complaint about a flight being delayed but the Scribe didn’t experience it at all!

El Pres also commented on the green speeds as his only criticism of the course (golf registration is not the course) and always fun to play. The decision to bring all of our handicaps back to WHS or club handicap is obviously working with only three playing to or better than handicap.

Prize-giving and the usual antics followed:

NTP Awards.

Somehow we never seem to get everyone on the same page with regard to the tape measures and sheets we are given to record NTP’s during these COVID times. The tape measures and sheets REMAIN WITH the flight for the entire round and are to record the names of those on the green of the holes nominated on the said sheet. Please hand the tape measures and sheets back when you hand in your signed correct score cards.

Winners as follows:

Hole 2 John Lee

Hole 7 No winner

Hole 12 Bernd Kaiser 2.5 metre.

Hole 17 Scott Milton 0.58cm (or 5.8mm)

COTD Nominations

Only two nominations for COTD which is very light on for our group. It must have been the morning air affecting our behaviour.

Tony Morris (the bo”om fell out of me glass) nominated Iain Wise for looking everywhere for his hat and asking “have you seen my hat?” only to be told to have a look on his head.

Tony Morris nominated Josef Winter for noting that only John Lee’s name was on the sheet and that John was in his flight. How did that happen? Each flight has a sheet Josef!

Josef was overwhelmingly voted COTD for April 2021.

Fines:

Fines were surreptitiously collected while the scores were being collated and did not feature in this months presentation. However, we are pleased to report that there were nine (9) contributions for not reaching the ladies tee and one for not wearing the correct shirt. Additionally, those donations helped us to break even on the day. Thanks Gents.

Sponsors:

As always, we would be a little worse off without our generous sponsors, Robert Frager for the Callaway balls with KLOGS logo and Ricardo Castro for the wine. I must also point out that Ricardo supplies most of the photos used in these posts and I must commend him on the quality of photos. Thanks Ricardo.
