When we played this course in November last year I was told when registering next time we need to bring proof of age to get the benefits of seniors green fee. I called them Monday but no change of process. Oh boy, what a registration process one had to go through as they checked our proof of age for validity, three Malaysian driving licenses were not valid as it had no birthday date…no birthday date…. and a number of others needed clarification of which of the numbers is the birthday of the holder. Then they were all copied and after that the actual registration commenced.
So much for booking well in advance, I need to find a better way of fixing this, group booking is perhaps the answer.
I have never experienced the course as wet and soggy before with lack of maintenance in certain areas which I think explain the high gross scores in many cases. But the weather was very nice, a bit hot though.
As many times before we had the lunch at the club with 19 of the 24 players attending. Yeah the food could be a bit better but with so many eating on the way home it’s not really working well as it will drag out forever until one can order the food.
So did we have any really good scores, yes three of twenty-four beat the course and they were:
Winner on count back Paul Collett with 91/39 who is the first winner of this month’s trophy from Royal Selangor
Runner up, Ricardo Castro with 83/39
Third and lowest gross Andrew Cseszko with 78/37
An eventful and memorable day – Hans
Results
The results have been corrected as 6 of the final scores did not have matching gross and Stableford points – these have been corrected as per the gross score submitted.

20 players arrived at Amverton Cove but with heavy rain coming down play was delayed until 9:30am when 19 of us (minus Barry Cousins) decided to brave the wet fairways. Surprisingly the course was in good shape even after so much rain and as long as you could keep on the fairways the going was good. The greens were in good shape and running fairly true. With the cool weather after the rain it was a generally pleasant morning.
For the last game of the year and our trophy game for December we played at the beautiful Kota Sieremas Golf & Country Club. 15 players turned up after the post Xmas celebrations and we all got off on the 1st tee around 8:00am. Weather conditions were very good and the course was in very good shape. The greens were a little damp and slow over the first 9 holes but by the back nine the greens had dried out and were running faster. Play was speeded up as we could take the buggies on course (for an extra fee of course!)
Joint third place were ReinLi Tan, Martin Walsh, Stuart Taylor and Brian Buckley, all on 37 points.
