The October 2021 game was held at the beautiful Glenmarie Valley course. After one of the worst days of rain in KL, lasting the whole day before, the course was in remarkably good condition, with many of the greens running at 10+. Five flights teed off ~on time, with one no show!, which will be a costly long lay in! Without much delay the first flight finished in a little over 4 hours. The weather was excellent and the decision to stick with morning games at the moment, seems to be paying off, so far!
After an enjoyable game, ‘for most’, we assembled at Pantai Seafood for some excellent food and copious amounts of lubricant. We were joined by Barry and Andrew who assisted in our efforts to drink all the red wine.
Scoring was very good for the majority with just a few struggling at the lower end of the table. However, Bernd did go home in a huff with 19 points, deciding he would rather go home and play with his new chopper, which was being delivered. Not sure if he owes any Jugs?
Special mention goes out to Chez, with an excellent score of 78 off 4, an NTP of ~1m and a fantastic eagle on the last hole, for which he got his sleeve of balls.
The winner was our ‘Pres of Vice’ Iain Wise, with a respectable 93 for 38 points off 23, winning on count back (cut 4). Second place went to Robert Frager, who had spent the previous days questioning his handicap, scoring an excellent 83 for 38 points off 13 (cut 2). Third place went to Albert Koh ocb with 80 for 37 points off 9 (cut 1), from Thomas Stadler with 90 for 37.
We had 4 guest today who all enjoyed the day but perhaps not all enjoyed their golf – R Wee, Tony Lynch, Mike Garwood and Robert Bellavance. Hope to see you guys back in November.
Results
Full results below :
COTD
There was not a lot to report re the COTD with no one offering any serious options. Allan nominated Stan for some observations of the female species in another room, totally unrelated to golf, and was soon overwhelmingly voted COTD. (one way to get a sleeve of balls!)
Fines
There were 6 jugs today which were sorely needed given the unexpected caddy fees! as well as a few late arrivals (thanks to Stan for collecting the dosh and recording the latecomers).
Next Game
Wednesday 17th November – planned to be at Rahman Putra (awaiting confirmation)
