KELAB DIRAJA KAMPUNG REPORT-06-08-2024

Cannon’s,

After 8 years we returned to Royal Kampung also known as Kelab DiRaja Kampung. It is one of the oldest golf clubs in Malaysia and the oldest club in Selangor, opened in 1910 by the British, and even all these years the clubhouse still keeps all the colonial charm with the original design and a lot of old pictures on the vitrine showing how active was the club on those days. Nine brave LCs traveled all the way from KL and with early morning black clouds and a little rain, we all started on different tee boxes before 8:00 am. Seven of us, it was our first experience playing this course and I’m sure they enjoyed the atmosphere. The overcast weather stays most of the morning, only the last hour opened with some blu sky and sunny. The course was in good shape dry with playable greens but a lot of improvement around the course with many workers cleaning all the bushes between the fairways. We welcomed back, Josef back to the group after 10 10-week holidays in Germany and a lot of hunger to play golf. The winner today was Martin Belderink with a solid 94 for 38 points, followed by Frans Bakker with 93 for 33 points, and in third place was Martin Middleton with 99 for 32 points. After the game and a good shower, we all rushed to Jeti Mei restaurant and we had a nice and cheap lunch with cool beers.

Cheers

Ricardo
