Rahman Putra - 12th June 2015

7 Eggers took to The Hills course at Rahman Putra.  Check in was a nightmare and took 20 minutes.  This was because at the time of booking to take advantage of the senior rate I was told that all players need to provide any proof of age i.e passport, however upon check in the club would only accept MM2H or a Malay ID card.  Finally the supervisor arrived and agreed on this occasion the club would accept a Malaysian issued driving licence (which had no proof of age) or an id that was issued in Malaysia.  We were about to tee off 45 minutes late (check in and rain delay) when we told that we had to pay for 4 caddies 1 per buggy.  Having negotiated down to only 2 caddies (both absolutely useless) we eventually got on our way.  

We played the Hills course not the Lakes course but it felt like the Lakes as most holes had water to negotiate and on some holes more than one water hazard.  The course itself was in good condition but very challenging due to the tight fairways and plenty of bunkers and water.

In our flight we had a buggy v buggy competition to see who would pay for the caddy and as predicted Robert ‘Red Indian Blood’ Mulliss was loosing badly by the 13th hole and started his rain dance and on the very next hole it started to rain.  We should automatically award him a rotten egg on the slightest mention of rain.

Results

4 players managed to score 30 points or more this week with Peter eventually winning with 35 stableford points.  Second was Tony with 32 points and Brian with 31.  Lowest gross was Tony with 93.  

Lunch was again held at Heng Hin Seafood restaurant however this week we had no fish in the vegetable curry.

Rotten Egg Award

                                                       

This weeks rotten eggs is awarded to Brian Stubbs.  This is because on the 18th hole Robert picked up a wedge from the green and asked if anyone was missing a wedge which he held up in his hand.  Sure enough we all said that we weren’t missing a club until Brian finally got to his golf bag and said he was missing his wedge.  On inspecting the club which Robert had found Brian finally admitted it was his club and didn’t recognise it as it belonged to his other set.
