Report
Loose Cannons All,
Fourteen of us assembled at KGSAAS this lovely cool morning for the usual Tuesday play. The course played as one could expect after the heavy rain on Sunday a bit soggy and wet here and there, but greens were as good as we have known them to be during the dry season.
At the top of the ladder with 42pts was Hans Berger and cut 6, closely followed by Aftab on same points but with one point less on the back-nine, Aftab cut 1.
John Laidley as expected had the lowest gross with 79 (41 pts) and the most golf had Allan McNicoll with 123.
Hans Berger commented "Being a member I should perhaps not comment but I reckon the food at the restaurant has improved and by observing what presently happens at the course, the President nine is subject for green resurfacing, one would think the three nines will stay."
Finances
- Intake; 12 x 160 non-member + 2 x 100 member + 12 x 20 extras = 2360
- Expenses; Green fee 1676 + M&M 548 + winner 50 = 2274
- Kitty = 86 Rm

Aftab with his local knowledge of the course puts on the undulating green of the 2nd hole
The course is well maintained and the greens were in excellent condition - fast but true

The last 3 holes on the Sultan's Nine were a little challenging

Caddies were compulsory - our caddies were pretty good but I heard some mixed views from some other players about their caddies

Andre tucks into his chicken curry. The chicken curry was a popular dish for lunch ... so much so that we thought they had run out given the time Mike Smith had to wait on his order
