Results - KGPA - 30th July 2014

Report

Because of the Hari Raya Public Holidays on Mon/Tues 28th/29th July we had to have our weekly game on Wednesday 30th July. This was the trophy game and was held at KGPA.

Although the recent severe haze conditions threatened play, overnight rainfall cleared things up making it a pleasant although humid day. We had 17 players and after the usual inefficient and stressful checkin we all got off on two tee boxes on time. Unfortunately due to the lack of caddies (which were compulsory and part of the package) our last flight were without caddies - apologies for this. We did however not pay for this.

Most of us were finished in about 4 hours although the groups who teed off on the 1st nine were held up by some slow groups ahead. Course conditions were good - the course is being very well maintained at the moment following the fairly recent upgrade. This course is a tough and challenging course and being cow grass always plays long so we did not expect great scores.

After the game we had a pleasant lunch at the Selangor Club Sports Annexe - many thanks to Tony Morris and Andrew Robinson for facilitating our entry.

Results

We did have 3 players breaking their handicap today and the July Trophy winner with an excellent gross 83 and 42 points was Mike Williams - congratulations Mike. Second with 86 and 40 points was Tony Morris (now fully recovered from his recent dengue fever episode). Best gross of the day was Geoff Parslow with a 79 .... and 2 eagles! Full results tabulated below.

Next Game - KGPA - Wed 30th July 2014

Next week’s game will have to be played on Wednesday 30th July as Mon/Tue are Public Holidays (Hari Rays) - so we will play on 30th July at KGPA with a starting tee time of 8:30am. This is the monthly Trophy Game for July.

Cost will be RM150 per pax based on special weekday package inclusive of green fees/buggy/insurance and caddy (1 per buggy, compulsory). This rate is very close to that of the TP book so to avoid the usual confusion at registration let’s all stick to this weekday special rate. There will be some carry over with this fee which will go towards lunch.

IMPORTANT - all players will have to show proof of residence for this rate so please bring passport/resident visa/MM2H card/PR card/driving license/business card to show residence status.

Please be at the club EARLY by 8:00am latest as we all know registration at this club can be “tedious”! Many thanks.

Results - Sungai Long Golf & Country Club - 22nd July 2014

Report

Most of us haven't played Sungai Long for a long time so it was a welcome return to this wonderful course enjoying the special Ramadan green fee rates. The course is in wonderful condition and has even improved from what it was before with upgraded cart paths and flower beds. The greens were really wonderful and the sand in the bunkers soft and very playable.

We had 15 players this morning and after a small confusion over the start time - due to my miscommunication in a second e-mail I sent out (apologies for that) we all got off at around 8:20am. It was rather slow due to some slow playing members in front of our first flight. 

After the game most of us re-convened at the Ken Well Seafood Restaurant closeby for lunch and some refreshments.

Results

The winner today was Andrew Chez who played an excellent round of gross 75 for 42 points (also was the best gross of the day) with Mike Williams second with 35 points. Full results are below:
