17th August 2022
The August 2022 game was held at the Kota Permai Golf & Country Club. 22 players including 3 new players Hayden, Jega, and Campbell attending their first game, Mick for his second and last but by no means least Chia.
With the course failing to tell us about the hollow tinning that was undertook on the previous Sunday, we were concerned about the expected bumpy greens. Fortunately it wasn’t as bad as expected, but the heavy sand made chipping and putting significantly slower than we usually experience here but the balls were generally running true. And the scores reflected some good golf and the bad not being blamed on the greens!!!
The weather was initially cool, heating up through the morning but no rain delays. Given the number of showers we are seeing in the late afternoons. It seems the morning start is still the best option for now.
We teed-off on time with the rest of the course in its usual immaculate condition.
The speed of golf was probably as good as could be expected however Stans flight seemed to have been held up arriving a bit later than the rest to the restaurant!
Post-game, the golfers and two lunch guests Andrew and Barry enjoyed a substantial meal at Pantai Seafood Nilai, accompanied by numerous beers (36 for starters) & 6 bottles of good wine. The day wrapped up for at least half of those attending by 3pm with 10 staying for one or two or well lets just say a few more rounds!. Thanks to those who stood their hand and assisted in raiding the fridges! Needless to say the restaurant was reopening when we were leaving!
Results
The August medal winner by a considerable margin was Scott Milton with a fantastic gross of 77 and 45 points playing off 14 (after his initial handicap of 15 was cut post game after a check, after a couple of weeks of form is now index 10) fined 100 myr. Scott would have been cut 9 but with the handicap restrictions he is cut to 6, 4 below his index handicap.! Second with an impressive 41 points of a generous handicap of 18 was Clive Gordon cut 2. Now a more realistic 16! Third and continuing his good form Stan Constantinides with 31 points cut 1 to 17.

COTD
With guests fortunately being unable to be nominated, we had the following nominations this month for COTD.
- Geoff for blaming the caddy for not wiping sand of his ball as he followed his first putt to knock in the 2 footer and missed!
- Tony for managing to launch his club further than he hit the ball
Was there any doubt?? No! Geoff I think even voted for himself, and began the walk before the ball had dropped! Ably downing the mug in a one’r.
Fines
There were three fines for ladies tee boxes and a few other misdemeanours
