Results - Amverton Cove - 27th January 2015

Report

The January Trophy Game was held at Amverton Cove with 4 flights (15 players) teeing off from two  tee boxes at 8:00am. Weather was very good and the course was in great shape with the recent rain improving the usual dry state that this course exhibits. The greens were excellent.

I was in the first flight and we made excellent time around the course finishing by 11:15am with none in front and after two holes no sight of anyone behind.

After the game we had lunch at the seafood restaurant at the bridge from Carey Island. Drinks were kindly sponsored by Stuart Taylor who had a birthday a few days previously.

Results

Some good scores were posted today which is fairly normal for this course. The clear winner with an excellent 43 points (gross of 95) was Peter Davies with Allan McNicoll runner up with 40 points (gross of 90). Best gross of the day was Sean Niven with 76.

Results - Seri Selangor - 20th January 2015

Report

We had 16 (4 full flights) for today's outing to Seri Selangor on a beautiful morning with clear blue skies. Quite a few had some issues getting to the club on time due to the traffic congestion and some spurious GPS directions to the club entrance. Only one person missed the tee off .... Henning managed to catch our flight by end of Hole 1 so he only missed the first hole.

The course was mainly dry but there appears to be a fair bit of remedial work ongoing particularly on the bunkers and around the greens. The greens were also not in the best of shape - many of them sandy and bare which is not up to the usual standard here.

We all finished by 1pm then adjourned to Pantai Seafood for an excellent lunch. Many thanks to Tony who was celebrating his 65th birthday and sponsored the drinks. 

Results

Scores were definitely on the low side which is the norm for this tough and tight little course. Runner up was Roger Surieux with 35 points (gross of 100) and the clear winner with 40 points (gross of 84) was Bernard Romahn. Full results as below:

Bernard was presented with the RM50 winnings and also received a special gift of a poster as a memory of the Batam Away Trip and to complement his other two posters. A copy of the poster is shown below for all to enjoy ....
