A great day to play golf. The weather was very nice to us, not too much sun. The course was a bit soggy on some places, not a surprise after the rain last day. For the rest the course was in good condition, a couple of greens were sanded, but even so very fast. It is a challenging course. When the ball is in the rough, it is not that easy to get it out in a decent way. But a good course, not too far away to travel and easily accessible. So worth while repeating.

Results

The scores were very respectable, although no one equalled or played better than his handicap:

Martin won, (after his long holidays in Langkawi) on count back from Bernhard.Yes, personally I had a lot of problems with the course, which I played for the first time…………….

We had a good lunch in Lavaa, a new restaurant for a couple of us. Also this was a good experience.The mystery prize was for Ricardo with two birdies. Shared with paul, but as Paul was last weeks winner, the choice was for Ricardo.

The monthly competition is led by Josef with 78 points a large margin from Jan and Allan with 71 and Martin with 69. Don’t worry we still have one week to go!Next week we will have our trip to JB with 3 interesting and undoubtedly challenging courses. See you all there!!

Thanks to Ricardo Castro for the photos.

An easy ride to Seri Selangor this morning as the traffic was less then normal probably due to the schools are off for the rest of the year. Construction work was going on e.g. expanding parking and it looks like they will upgrade the locker room, we look forward to that, don’t we.

Weather was just fine for golfing and the course was in the best condition I ever played it I think except for certain sections of hole 18. We had the post game lunch at Pantai Seafood Restaurant, plenty of guests, noisy and good food, lovely place.

Results

So how did it go, we had Ted Parslow in our flight and the way he was hitting the ball from the tee-box I thought here we have today’s winner, but but the 34 points was only enough for second place. Ricardo Castro played even with the course enough to win on 36 and Martin Belderink rounded up the podium with 33 points.

Ten players made up of seven regulars and 3 guests, 2 ex work colleagues of mine Andy & Neil and Sigi’s guest Johan teed off on time at Seri Selangor for the December trophy game. The course was in reasonable condition considering the excessive rain we have been experiencing, one or two of the greens had been sanded. Seri Selangor continue to be carry out course improvements.

It should be noted that this is the last game under the present rules as from 1^st January 2019 the revised rules apply. Only 3 minutes to look for the ball!!!!!!

After the game we adjourned to Pantai Seafood Restoran where we were joined by our illustrious convener Hans who presented the December Trophy to Dave Evans who managed to accumulate 38 points with his score of 98. Well done Dave.

Sigi was in excellent spirits the new baby having arrived on Christmas Eve. Mother and young Oscar are both well. Consequently the beers and food were all on him. Thanks again Sigi most appreciated.

Results

With many players away on the KLOGS tour to Vietnam there were only 11 players today for our game at Seri Selangor Golf Club with Kevin Wiggins acting as Convenor as Hans was on the KLOGS trip. We started early and were off before 7:30am. The course was in good condition and as tricky as it always is. Weather was overcast making it relatively cool all the way round.

We noticed some course improvements with a new deep pot bunker placed at the right side of the green on Hole No 11, which was duly checked out by Paul Collett!

We were finished just after 12 noon and 7 of us made lunch at Pantai Seafood for some great food and the most welcome cold beers. And just for Hans’ attention we had a lovely large plate of huge prawns ……..

Results

Only two players managed to play to handicap today and Stuart Taylor and Paul Geddes both shot 36 points requiring a count back on the last 6 holes which Paul won – so Paul Geddes was the winner this week with Stuart Taylor runner up. Paul’s round of 82 got the best gross award. Full scores below:

We returned to Seri Selangor after a long period where they were renovating the course. There have been some improvements but it is really far from ready with scruffy fairways, dug up areas and some extensive GUR area around some greens. The greens were very good however apart from hole no 18 which is now a temporary green as they work on the proper green. So we may have to leave it a while till we return here.

We had 4 full flights and got off from 2 tee boxes sharply at 8:00am. After the game we had lunch at our regular Pantai Seafood Restaurant which was very good.

Results

The winner this week was Kevin Wiggins with a great round of 84 for 42 points which is a really good score at this course. Runner up was Allan Wright with 37 points on count back from Tony Morris also with 37 points. Best gross was Geoff McLaws with an 80 and most golf was Dave Evans with 113. Full scores below:
