21st January 2026 Glenmarie Valley – AGM & 2025 Awards Game

OFFICE BEARERS

The Day’s Play

We had perfect golfing weather at the excellent Glenmarie Valley. Conditions were cool and slightly overcast with buggy on course for most of the holes. The days play started with two flights from both tee box 1 and 10. Play was fast and we finished in good time.

Lunch was taken at Restaurant Twelve, where we had a turnout of sixteen Players + honorary member, Richard Moss and Chez who could not play due to injury. The usual excellent food washed down with 60 bottles of beer. Iain welcomed our new guests, Laurance Beattie and Miguel Morales.

There was a great turn our of old Tankards, Allan’s from 2003 and Tony’s from 2004. Let’s see if we can get more next year.

FULL RESULTS

AGM

Accounts

Moneybags presented a hard copy of the 2025 accounts which were unanimously accepted by the members. Thank you, Iain, for a fantastic job in managing the funds.

Change over year – (294 MYR)

Balance carried forwards – 4,967 MYR

Proposed constitution changes

1. Any player scoring 36 points and above not being placed in top 3, shall not have their handicap increased for their next game

Rejected. Only top 3 cut all others go up by one to maximum 28.

2. Any new member shall have a maximum of 18 handicap if they are unable to produce an official club or society handicap

Rejected. Members felt that whilst we want to keep out “bandits” and ensure a fair scoring system, the fact that a guest has to complete 3 rounds is sufficient to arrive at a handicap index for that player. Guest has to play one game with committee member before becoming a member.

Side note, allmembers are encouraged (especiallyif they play in other groups) to use the myGolf2u or MGA WHS apps to register their scores for each game played.

New committee for 2026

The following nominations were received and unanimously approved by the members:

Scribe duties will be shared.

IT Guru – (not an official committee position) Matt Hall

Congratulations to Chez for becoming our El Pres. In his acceptance speech he expressed sincere gratitude for the outgoing Pres of 5 years, Paul Geddes. This was warmly applauded by all the members. Thanks again Paul.

Our new El Pres did say that he would not be able to emulate Paul by being on the piss till 5am and playing golf a few hours later.

Chez played his first game for Klogs in 2002 and encouraged all members to try and attend every game. He thanked Sigi and Ricardo, our sponsors, these past few years. Chez says that he is very happy with the way the society has been run and only minor tweaks would be needed to improve things.

Chez also mentioned that Matty would help with the IT/Website aspects and we look forward to Matty bringing the society into the AI age.

Good luck Chez we are proud to have you as our new El Pres!

SCRIBE REPORT

18^TH SEPTEMBER 2024

It was good to see EL Pres continuing with his recovery after being fitted with his new bionic knee.  Play got underway on time at 8:00am. However, when the 3 flights assigned to start on the second nine arrived at tee box 10, they were blocked by a 6 ball who were just teeing off. It was quickly decided to jump ahead and start on holes 11 and 12. The leap frogging to avoid further jumbo flights continued throughout the round. Flights 4 & 5 eventually formed their own jumbo flight to complete the last 4 holes of their round. The weather was cooling with a couple of slight showers. The course was in good condition and the greens were fair and true.  The first 3 flights finished in good time, however flights 4 & 5 the magnificent seven were severely delayed.

            Chez in trouble on 10         Klog‘s jumbo flight the Magnificent Seven

Lunch was scheduled to be held at East of Highway but following a phone call the day before we were advised they were closed. Arrangements were quickly adjusted and we adjourned to Pantai Seafood instead. With a couple of no shows the 15 diners squeezed on to one table, this required serious intervention by EL PRES to ensure everyone had sufficient elbow room. Food selection was simple as we ordered form the Pantai 20^th Anniversary Celebration Menu. Once the late arrival from flights 4 & 5 had arrived lunch was served.  The food was excellent albeit a tad expensive. Plenty of cold beer was downed.

EL PRES got the prize giving underway by welcoming our guests Steve Hennessey, Peter Davies and Brian Stubbs. Before moving on to the prizes he fined all those that didn’t play the course in the correct order. As there was an absence of any Ladies Tee Boxes he continued in fine mode and collected a total of 180 MYR for all the misdemeanours.

On to the NTP’s.
