Dear All,

After a very long time, about 6 months, we teed off at Tasik Puteri again. And it was a joy to play. The weather was great, as can be seen from the pictures, and the course was in a good condition. Admittedly some parts were very wet, to the point that I lost a ball just in front of the green, plugged probably half a meter below the fairway.There have been a number of cows/buffalo’s on the course as some of the fairways, and greens, were damaged, but that was OK, as everybody had the same problem. The greens were a bit variable as far as speed is concerned, sometimes very slow and some of them good speed as expected. Again, as in the last weeks, the course was very quiet. Not all golfers have found the way back to the golf course again, it seems.Our regular restaurant was closed, only open for take away, and therefore we enjoyed lunch and beers at the club.
The scores were OK as well, only Tony played to his handicap, which resulted in him ending up in first place (90 – 36). Dave had 105 – 32, Bernard 91 – 32, Iain 99 – 31, Jan 98 – 31 and Robert 113 – 32

Again we were with a small group at a good playable Bukit Jalil. A lot of our regulars are abroad, so for the time being we have to get used to a small group. As said, Bukit Jalil was in a good condition, not easy to play, and that is shown by the scores: nobody ended in the thirties…..We had good fun, some balls really strayed off the good path, but that’s part of golf. 
Tony was first with 97 – 29, Jan second with 102 – 27, Iain third with 105 – 25 and Dave closed the round off with 113 – 24. We will stay away for some time from Bukit Jalil as we can now venture into Selangor and KL combined again. So next week Tasik Puteri is on the program.

Dear All,

We had a wonderful afternoon golf at KPGA! As they do not allow us, as non members, to play in the morning, we played an afternoon game. The course was quite empty, and therefore great to play. Yes, the sun was out, but we had a good breeze to keep it nice and pleasant.We played the lakes, followed by the hills, not the easiest ones, and both were in a very good condition. The railways and greens were very well maintained and excellently playable. In short, we had fun and really enjoyed ourselves.KPGA is always a difficult course to play, as was clear from the scores: Bernard finished top with 90 – 33, followed by Dave with 110 – 27.Full results below. We followed this up with a couple of good drinks and some food at Lavaa restaurant.
Next week Bukit Jalil again!

Cheers

What a joy it was to be able to play golf  again! Nice to be out again with friends and try to get a nice score in.We began last week with almost two full flights, then one after another dropped out, so eventually we played with 5, a two ball and a three ball. The course was almost empty, so we had a fast time, coming back within 4 hours.As expected, the course was wet, resulting in frequent looking for plugged balls, sometimes even well under the fairway surface. The greens were good, so that was not the excuse. It was more that we haven’t been playing for quite a while that the scores were a bit low.Jan finished first with 97 – 32, Bernard 92 – 30, Iain 100 – 30, Tony 102 – 24, Dave 118 – 19
After the game, no locker rooms, no showers (apart from Bernard….!), but a good lunch at the club.
So the first game is in!! Let’s hope that was the first one of many to come without any MCO’s anymore!
See you all next week.
