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.

Sungai Long - 30th January 2015


The FRID' Eggers decided to have a little treat today and enjoy the lush fairways of Sungai Long, undoubtedly one of the best courses in the KL area. With a special offer rate of RM208 it was well worth it as the course is really second to none. It was relatively quiet as 3 flights (11 pax) headed out on a beautiful clear day with blue skies and some stunning clouds.

Course conditions were really excellent with well manicured fairways and surroundings, wonderful greens and well maintained and laid out buggy tracks.

The 3 flights finished around just after 1pm and then we headed off to our favourite Ken Well Seafood Restaurant closeby in Jalan Kasturi area. 

We welcomed some new Eggers this week - welcome to Hans Berger, Paul Geddes and Barry Sage.

It was Allan McNicoll's unofficial farewell game ... he is still around till 25th February before he heads for Cape Town, but his time may be limited in the next few weeks. He kindly paid for lunch and the drinks today .... thanks from everyone Allan.

Results

We had some good scores posted today .... Tony Morris was 3rd with 34 points (gross of 92), runner up was Peter Davies who shot an excellent 40 points (gross of 97) and the winner on a magnificent 41 points (gross of 89) was Allan McNicoll - congratulations Allan.


Rotten Egg Award


Andrew Robinson was duly awarded the Rotten Egg of the day for arranging to give Iain Wise a lift to the course and then asking Iain to find his way to Andrew's house to get the lift!! He also self-nominated himself for walking to his car post game and realised he still had his towel and locker key in his hands. 

Barry Sage should really be given a Rotten Egg for not contributing the RM10 to the prize pot .... but since this was his first FRID' Eggs game we shall only note this as a warning.
