Kinrara Golf Club - 25th September 2015

Report from Allan McNicoll

Ten players teed off at Kinrara and although there was a threat of rain at the start, it stayed dry. The course was in good condition, especially the greens. Winner on the day, with an excellent gross of 82 for 45 points was Barry Sage. Well played Barry. After the game we had lunch at The Annex, which as usual was very good, thanks Andrew. I head back home on Wednesday so I think either Iain or Glen will arrange next weeks game. Hopefully I will see you all again soon, either in KL , or Cape Town?

Kinrara Golf Club - 24th April 2015

It had obviously been raining heavily at the course the previous evening as Kinrara was wet and in some places very soft making plugged balls a problem. There were many trees down and many of the bunkers had water in them. However 8 Eggers struggled round the course - the first nine went well for most but the back 9 certainly proved troublesome for most. Scores were generally on the low side and reflected the tougher playing conditions today.

After the game we all (well all but one) had lunch at the Restoran East of Highway - we managed somehow to lose Glen on the way - he was following Allan Wright who in turn was following Peter.

Results

The winner today with a rather modest 32 points was Stuart Taylor with a gross of 88. Runner up was Glen Wombwell with 28 points, gross of 106. Full results tabulated below:

Rotten Egg Award

The group voted Glen for the Rotten Egg Award today for being exceptionally grumpy all the way round the course, losing his way to lunch and not putting in his RM10.

Kinrara Golf Club - 6th February 2015

There were 6 Eggers this morning for the game at Kinrara Golf Club. Weather was good and the course was in fairly good condition and not wet at all. The greens were quite good albeit a little slow. We would have been round in good time but on the back nine our two flights were held up by a group of 5 (2 adults with 3 young kids) playing very slowly eventually causing a backup of 4 flights on the 16th hole. Two phone calls to the clubhouse saw no sign of any marshall to sort this out - we got past this group on the 17th hole and told them in fairly straight terms that they should not not be on the course. Further terse words were had with the front desk but again no sign of any marshall and of course the manager was not there. We finished by 12:30pm then drove back to the Selangor Club Sports Annexe for a good lunch - thank you Andrew for the invite.

Results

The winner this week was Andrew Robinson with 37 points (gross of 92) just beating Allan McNicoll who also shot a 92 but for 36 points. Full results below:  

Rotten Egg Award

Glen Wombwell was voted for the Rotten Egg Award this week due to his problem with ill fitting shorts which he had to adjust frequently and at times exposing himself on the tee .... much to the distraction of the other golfers.

Results - Kinrara Golf Club - 26th September 2014

After a few weeks on non-play due to many of the regular Eggers being away from KL for vacation we got a Friday game underway again this week. Kinrara Golf Club is a little gem of a course - well maintained but tough little course and is very close to town.

We had 9 Eggers today under good weather conditions and we completed the round by 12 or shortly thereafter at which point we retired to the Sports Annexe at the Selangor Club for lunch, drinks and prize giving.


Results

Winner of the day was Stuart Taylor with a gross of 88 and 33 points. He was also awarded a "trophy" donated kindly by Peter Davies for the best score of the day .... this trophy was a small egg cup with a golf ball from St Andrews .... many thanks Peter.

Full results are below:

Rotten Egg Award

Over lunch we nominated Andrew Barber for the Rotten Egg Award due to him skipping off after the game and not contributing the RM10 into the kitty for the winner.
