Results – Palm Garden – 30th May 2017

A different Tuesday game for us as we were the only players on the course as it looked like, I suppose the maintenance was the main reason. Other different reasons were that we played the second nine twice but to make it more interesting we played the first nine from white and the second from blue, quite a big difference as we had three holes from black tee-boxes as well, most of us enjoyed it id not all.

Martin Belderink just came back fully rested from a week in Kuching without golf and he had his best game ever with 91/43 well ahead of us others and I completed it at the back-end with 110/21, other results as below.

The second nine, which is named Bismark after a palm plant in Madagascar, was in a good nick except the pin placement on hole sixteen which caused many extra puts or just f…….t.

Other things to be mentioned from the day are;
– David happen to hit his female caddie between the boobs when practicing his chipping, with a little bit hands on massage it worked out okay I have been told
– after teeing off on Hole sixteen Paul’s flight mates asked where is your ball Paul, he had it in the pocket …..back to the tee
– Ted had an episode as well on hole fifteen, I forgot that but what I remember after sharing a whiskey after his birdie, I played much better for a short while, should have taken one more sip I suppose.
Martin and David have had their birthday this month and with their 200Rm each contribution, many thanks chaps, it was enough with a little pocket money from float to cover the cost.

As a compensation for the inconvenience playing the same nine twice we received complementary 18-holes green-fee vouchers. Must be used within three month, I suggest we use them the later part of August.

Results – Amverton Cove – 23rd May 2017

Just a few players requires a short report doesn’t it;
– When we assembled for a shat (Editor : not sure if this was meant to be a chat or a shit) and a small bite early morning we were more or less alone at the club

– Course were in good condition through out

– Dark clouds were threatening at first but having played four holes or so the sun dominated the sky, luckily we had a nice breeze to cool us down a bit

– After five six holes the locals had arrived and the course were quite busy

Kaz Takita won with 98/34 closely followed by Ray Funnel with 105/33

And as usual when we play Amverton Cove we had a good lunch at the Chinese restaurant immediately to the right after the bridge.

Results – KRTU – 16th May 2017

It was several years since I last played this course and it still as nice to play, perhaps a better word would be, fun to play. The first three holes a bit wet but most of the others quite nice actually, greens had various speed as many courses have nowadays due to all the rain.

We became a bit late due some did not find their way without assistance, Kaz did not find it all so in the end we re-organized to three three-flights

Weather was excellent and as I remember from previous time the monkeys followed us on hole two and three looking for something to eat.

Ricardo Castro had lowest gross with 84, he also won with 39 points same as Martin Belderink but with a better second nine, I myself came third with 33 points and that with four holes with no points, you just wait guys….

I would like to thank Zak for assisting with booking and using his membership advantage for lowering the prices both for buggy fee as well for M&M.

The restaurant is airy with a good view, food is good and the beer is cold and not very expansive at all, we will come back.

Results – Staffield Golf & Country Resort – 2 May 2017

Buggie parking

All arrived in time including myself, registration takes it’s time here due to all +55 proof of age need to be manually recorded.

Flight 1-3 played Western and flight 4-5 the Southern nine and perhaps we should have all played Western as those who teed off before flight 4-5 were very very slow.

Staffield Country Resort does seldom let the players down, same today but looking at the scores it was not as easy as we have been used to, perhaps mainly due to all the rain.

Martin Belderink took the price-money today with 99/37, closely followed by Kevin Wiggins 90/36 and just one point after him came David Evans 99/35.

Lowest Gross should be some with lower Hcp, today it was Paul Geddes with 86 and most played had Kaz Takita with 108 and not far behind followed by Roger and me on 104.

Today no fancy expensive food as we had the lunch at the club and the food was okay but the Carlsberg draft beer had some ‘non-Carlsberg’ taste and after addressing the issue we got a couple of jugs free and better tasting beer.

Lately we have had quite a lot of contributions due to birthday or a high number of games played, today Ted and myself through in 200Rm each as we had our birthday end of April, so filling the hat was not too expensive.
