It was a nice drive up the mountain side and it became as usual colder and colder, only 18 degrees at arrival.

The air was almost haze free at begin with.

It’s about a year ago since when we played Berjaya Hills, it was in really bad condition then. Yesterdays conditions were similar to how it was before it turned bad i.e. greens not too bad, fairway okay and bunkers hard and uneven if not raked and scenery outstanding. We could also hear the gibbons in the background having their morning conversation, very nice.

Post game lunch at Restaurant 126 down in the valley, food good and beers cold but air hazy like KL. Bernard attended and then we suspected he played well and yes he did, won with 38, Josef second 36, and Erol third with 33 points.

Berjaya Hills Golf & Country Club is wonderfully located in the hills north east of KL offering scenic views and cool weather. It can be a real pleasure to play up here …. but not today. The course has been sadly neglected and with almost a total lack of maintenance the course is a total disgrace. Tees are shoddy, uneven and dug up in places, the fairways are untidy with many dug up areas due to wild boar activity, bunkers are very messy and in need of repair and re-sanding and the greens are potholed and patchy making putting a random lottery. The 17th green was totally sanded with large piles of sand at the edges of the green making it very difficult to make your approach and to putt.  The hole itself was totally misshapen and ragged as shown below:

All in all very shoddy so I do not think we will be returning to this course for a long time unless the management get their act together to fix all the problems.

We had 5 flights today and we managed to tee off on separate holes to try and speed up play. Most players got round in a reasonable time and after the game we drove back down the hill to Kampong Tinggi to our old favourite 126 Restaurant.

The weather and temperature were perfect for a morning’s golf up at Berjaya Hills Golf & Country Club. We had 19 Loose Cannons today and we all got off on various tee boxes to ease congestion which was good resulting in all of us returning after the game at much the same time. The course was in good condition and there is still evidence of ongoing works in bunkers and fairways so at least they are taking some effort now to maintain the course.

It was a beautiful cool start as we teed off and only got a little warmer by the time we finished. Sadly no evidence or sounds from the resident gibbons.

We had lunch at our usual Restaurant 126 back down the hill in Kampung Bukit Tinggi with good food and cheap beer. With the carry over from the golf registration and a kind donation by Bernard Romahn for his eagle (Many thanks Bernard) we only had to contribute RM10 for lunch …. excellent deal.

Results

We had 3 players tied on 40 points today at the top of the table. The winner was Reinli Tan with 97 for 40 points, on count back from Allan Wright with 95 for 40. Allan took 2nd place on count back from Bernard Romahn with 84 for 40 and won a nice bottle of Portugese wine kindly donated by Ricardo Castro. Best gross was Geoff McLaws with an 81.

20160308_100535_resizedOn a beautiful morning of light high cloud and a nice breeze, 16 LC’s teed it up at Berjaya Hills on time, after a smooth check in. Jeff Pearce, having been very cold the last time he played here, arrived suitably clad in a heavy sweater!!!….which was not needed.
The course
Berjaya Hills is always a bit of a gamble as to the condition of the course but yesterday it was in good overall condition and a pleasure to play. The first 3 or 4 greens on the front 9 were poor and bumpy but the rest were fair. There were a lot of patches of wild boar grubbing but mercifully not on the greens and the bunkers were OK but some rakes are needed. The Gibbons were noticeable by their absence which was a pity but our flight had the pleasure of the company of a Pig Tailed Macaque who ambled across in front of the 6th tee box as we were teeing up and then sauntered up to the green with an occasional disdainful glance over his shoulder at us intruders. Very nice.
The winner with an outstanding 90 for 46 points was Brian Stubbs, cut 4 strokes. The R/U ocb was Richard Moss with 41 points from Bernhard Romahn. The lowest gross was 78 by Geoff McLaws. The full results below:

Lunch
15 golfers attended lunch at the newly renovated Restoran 126 where we enjoyed some inexpensive, slow to arrive grub and a lot of equally inexpensive Tiger Beer.
