It was quite busy this morning when 12 Eggers showed up at Staffield .... and it was looking like we were going to have a delayed start due to the numbers queued up at both the Western and Southern Courses. However sense prevailed and the starter opened up the North course so we started on North then came back on the Western.
Conditions were excellent with beautiful weather and great course conditions. The greens were very good and the pin placements today were rather difficult on many of the holes.
We had 12 players today .... a welcome to our new guest Tom Holmes and a warm welcome back to one of our founder Egger, Allan McNicoll who somehow managed to wangle a trip back to Malaysia from South Africa for 5 weeks!!
After the game we drove north and back to the Restoran East of the Highway for an excellent lunch and a few cold ones.
Results
I had a great game today and was quietly confident of winning .... only to be outdone by 1 point by Hans Berger who won with a great 43 points and a gross of 85 - well done Hans. I was runner up with the best gross of the day of 78 and 42 points.
Longest drive of the day was Allan McNicoll who took 20 hours to get to Malaysia from Capetown!

Rotten Egg Award
We really only had one decent nomination today and that went to Mike Smith unanimously for his abuse of the flag!! Yes ... you read that correctly. Apparently he blamed the flagstick which was lying on the green and was in his view when he missed a putt ..... furthermore he was the one that admitted leaving the flag there.
