Monterez - 22nd May 2015

8 Eggers took to the course today at Monterez.  Check in process was efficient and we managed to tee off 15 minutes early.

Both flights teed off on hole 10 and on hole 11 Robert “I’ll tempt fate” Mulliss said how nice it is playing in the morning as we hardly have any rain when we play.  Within 5 minutes of his comment the skies darkened, and the heavens opened up.  This was promptly followed by the siren and we all took shelter for the next 20 minutes.

When play resumed the fairways were naturally drenched however the drainage on the course worked pretty well especially on the greens which were in particularly good condition.

Results

Most players struggled on some of the holes due to the water but not the winner for the second week steady Zak with an impressive 38 stableford points and the lowest gross score of 88.  Second place with 33 points was fate tempter Robert with 33 points.

The weather seemed to have a calming influence on our behaviour and no one could offer a nomination for the day.  However on reflection one person nominated our leader for updating the handicap system whilst he should be relaxing on his cruise and not thinking about golf.  The nomination was then agreed and passed.

Report

We had 13 eggers today at Monterez, getting off to a start after early morning rain at around 8:20am with 3 x 3-balls and 1 x  4-ball starting from two tee boxes. Course conditions were good with the greens in good condition although a little dry on some. Playing off the whites tees the course played short and we expected some good scores today.

A welcome goes out to a new Egger, Andrew Barber, who joined us today and hello to Glen's guest John Underwood.

After the game 10 of us returned to the excellent Choong Foong Seafood Restaurant close to Monterez and on the road back to Subang airport for some great food washed down with Tigers and Carlsbergs ... and in my case a jug of watermelon juice!

Results

We had 3 players on 40 points today but on count back the winner was Brian Stubbs with a score of 94 for 40 points. Second again on count back from Andrew Robinson (also with 40 points) was Erol Akinci with 90 for 40 points. Best gross of the day was Stuart Taylor with 85.

Rotten Egg Award

There were a number of nominations for Rotten Egg today ... Robert (of course) for being late again, Glen's guest John Underwood for hogging the entire bench in the changing room but the winner went to Erol Akinci for calling at 7:15 to say he could not find the course and was going home.... only to call again half an hour later to ask if we had registered as he had now found the course and wanted to play.
