KGPA - 27th November 2015

Our last week's winner, Tony Morris, chose to play KGPA again and this week we played the Hills and Lakes courses. Conditions were wet and soggy and many players had problems with lost balls in the thick, wet rough as well as plugged balls on the fairway. However the greens were in good condition and the weather was favourable. 3 full flights finished by 1:30pm and then we headed out for lunch at our favourite Pantai Seafood. 

Results

As expected scores were generally low but our clear winner today with a tremendous gross 80 (best of the day) and 40 points was Richard Rodwell, obviously spurred on by his father Arthur Rodwell, who was there as a guest today. Runner up was Jeff Pearce with a gross of 95 for 34 points. Full results below:

Rotten Egg Award

We head a meagre two nominations today .... Robert Mulliss for driving round the roundabout the wrong way at the club on the way to pick up his bag and Roger McGowan for answering strangely when asked where Stuart's first ball went on the 16th hole ..... none really warranted an award so we didn't award one this week. Geoff McLaws gets an automatic Rotten Egg for being late.

KGPA - 20th November 2015

We had a round dozen Eggs for the game at KGPA and after a relatively uneventful checkin we got off on the Lakes 9 at 8:20 ahead of schedule. This 9 was pretty wet from all the rain recently so we had a few issues of losing plugged balls. The greens however were very good. The second Forest 9 was a lot better no doubt due to the different grass and good new drainage (thanks to the Parslow Brothers!).

The weather was good but got very warm and humid by the back 9. We adjourned to our favourite Pantai Seafood Restaurant after the game and had an excellent and good value lunch.

Results

The winner this week with an excellent 41 points was Tony Morris, runners up were Richard Rodwell and Jeff Pearce both on 41 points. Best gross of the day was Richard Rodwell with an 80. Full results below :

Rotten Egg Award

We had a couple of nominations this week  - Stuart for somehow allowing Robert Mulliss' e-mails to go into his spam box and thereby missing the game and Glen for misidentifying his ID card at checkin as being Mike Smith's (who wasn't even there) ..... apologies to Mike Smith! Glen was duly voted the Rotten Egg. Roger McGowan got an automatic Rotten Egg for being late.

As a suggestion by Tony Morris rather than accumulating 3 Rotten Eggs then paying for drinks it was suggested that each Rotten Egg could be paid off with RM50. This was agreed by all as being an easier way to manage the Rotten Eggs ..... Tony promptly paid up his 5 Rotten Eggs (RM250) and Erol paid his 3 (RM150).

Rotten Egg status is therefore now as follows:

Seri Selangor - 13th November 2015

A record 16 Eggers took to our home course of Seri Selangor today and we would like to welcome first time eggers Geoff McLaws and Carl Wombwell.

As usual the course was very challenging with tight fairways and very fast greens causing many Eggers on several occasions to take more than 2 putts.  This was reflected in the scoring with no one playing to their handicap.  The winner today was Jeff Pearce with a respectable 33 points followed closely by Geoff Mclaws and Greg Mackley both on 32 points.

Lunch was taken at Sun P J Seafood restaurant, which was well organised in advanced by Birthday Boy Glen.  12 Eggers made it to lunch and were delighted with the quality of the meal and service.  Many thanks to Glen for also paying for the beers in celebration of his Birthday

Rotten Egg Award

                              

The first automatic rotten egg goes to Barry for not contributing the mandatory 10 ringgit towards the winner for lunch.

We then had 2 nominations over lunch for the rotten egg of the day.  Glen for losing his ball in the rough and acting very “smarmy” when it was found by his fellow golfer.  Tony for playing out of turn when all the other eggers in his flight were still waiting to play and also for complaining on a par 3 when his tee shot landed 10 feet from the green which he subsequently birdied.  Tony was unanimously voted to receive the egg by all except for Carl who wanted to give the award to his Father.

KGSAAS - 6th November 2015

11 Eggers played at KGSAAS today.  Although check in was slow we still managed to tee off around 8am with 2 flights starting at the President 9 and the remaining flight starting off the Sultan 9.  It was noted than Tony Morris was slightly late (most unusual) due to having to make a visit on the way for some relief (not the pick and clean variety) and was awarded a rotten egg accordingly.

The weather was threatening to rain with flashes of lighting however we were fortunate that it stayed dry during the round.  The course was generally in good condition with a few ‘boggy’ patches on the fairways due to the previous night rain and the greens were in very good condition.

Winner on the day was Peter Davies with 37 points followed by Mike Smith on 34 points and joint third on 33 points was Zak and Allan.  Lowest gross was Richard Rodwell with a score of 88.

10 Eggers stayed for lunch at the usual Chinese restaurant on the first floor.  The food was average, however the prawn dish was sent back after Richard spat his prawn onto the table followed by many complaints from other Eggers that the prawns were definitely off.  The cost of the food and beer was not good value and the consensus of the group was to look for an alternative venue in future. 

No rotten egg was awarded today except the standard one for being late.
