The March 2022 game was held at the beautiful Glenmarie Garden course which was in great condition despite the recent rain, though with a few bumpy greens on the second nine. 7 flights (26 players, including 4 guests) teed off on time; the flights off #1 were only slightly delayed by a slow 3 ball ahead so finished in ~4.5 hours, but the flights off #10 suffered badly (more later). (Stan, unusually, was late because of a puncture, but still made the tee-off time). The weather was excellent and the decision to stick with morning games at the moment still seems to be paying off.
After an enjoyable game (for most), we assembled at a new venue (Restoran Twelve Road) near the Federal Highway & LDP, for some excellent & different food and copious amounts of lubricant. As a result of the delays above, players from all 3 flights off #1 arrived well before any of the flights off #10, the first 2 of which were 3-balls.
Results
Scoring was very good for the significant number playing with just a few struggling at the lower end of the table. The winner was our ‘Pres of Vice’, Iain Wise, with a respectable 91 for 40 (cut 4). Second place went to the late Stan C with 90 for 39 (cut 2) and third place to Berni S with 87 for 36 (cut 1). Special mention goes out to our guests Erik Stoel & Stewart Beck, with their excellent scores of 94 for 40 & 74 for 37 respectively.

Golfer of the Year

COTD
There was a not a lot to report re the COTD with no one offering any serious competition to Clive :
- After criticizing the KLOGS members about not being on the MyGolf2u app, Clive proceeded to show El Pres how easy it was to use and score. After scoring on a hole on the second nine he noticed the par was 4 on the app and 5 on the card, stating he would talk to the developer. A couple of holes later a par 4 was a par 3 in the app. El Pres asked him to check he was on the right course, only for him to find out he was scoring on the Valley course!
- To cement the award, on the 14th tee, his ball returned to the tee box, after hitting a lamppost
