Kundang Lakes - 5th June 2015

8 Eggers took to the mysterious Kungdang Lakes.  Check in was probably the quickest in Malaysia.  

8 golfers please, “sure that will be 8 x 70, thats 560 Ringgit please.”  Total time 48 seconds.

However finding a key that works for a locker if you were fortunate to have  a secure locker 8 minutes. 

We were also surprised that the price included a free drink of water or 100 plus.  For convenience we all opted for 100 plus but for some reason they gave us 2 bottles of 100 plus per player so we had a total of 1,600 plus.

The course was quiet therefore the round was quick and we were only held up by our bad shots and looking for out balls. The course was in reasonably good condition especially the greens.  For those who hadn’t played the course before, or only a few times or not for a long time found the layout challenging (so that was all of us) especially the one hole where a bunker went across the complete fairway.  All 4 golfers in our flight managed to drive into this bunker from hell.

Results

This week result was very close and was won by Barry Sage with 35 stableford points and the lowest gross of 92.  Brian Stubbs was second with 34 points and equal third was Cameron McAinsh and Robert Mulliss with 33 points.

Lunch was at the nearby Heng Hin Seafood Restaurant and the drinks were paid kindly by Peter for having 3 rotten eggs, his total is now reset to zero.  Although this is a seafood restaurant we managed to order no seafood but to our surprise the vegetable curry has a fish in it including head and tail.

Rotten Egg Award

                                                                         

The award this week goes to Mike Smith for missing the turning to the course and subsequently turning up late despite having spent more time in KL than anyone else.

Finally what is the big mystery of Kungdang Lakes?

Is it because

- few people play this course despite being possible the best value for money 

- the buggy cost more than the green fee

- check in takes less than 1 minute

- 200 plus is given to each player

- there are no shower heads on most of the showers, just a pipe in the wall

- no one has seriously been injured grossing from the 9th to the 10th hole

No the real mystery is the crazy pricing for a round of golf.
