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. 

KRTU - 30th October 2015

The haze was gone and the sky was clear and blue again making it a wonderful morning at KRTU. With the recent rain the course was a little soggy in places with balls being plugged but otherwise in great shape. The greens were as usual very good. We had 8 eggers today making a nice two full flights - although we almost lost one player who had some issues getting into the airforce base without his passport due to some officious Indian guard. We got off on hole no 1 at 8:00am and were all finished by 12:30 in time for an excellent lunch onsite (the new special murtbak daging was really excellent!).

Results

Local knowledge obviously paid off today with Zak Zainal shooting an excellent 86 with 40 points on his home course - the clear winner. Runner up today was Richard Rodwell with the best gross of the day  of 84 and 37 points. Full results below :

Rotten Egg Award

There were a few nominations today for the Rotten Egg Award :

1. Stuart for failing to remind players to bring passports
2. Richard for forgetting his passport, parking incorrectly at the base entrance and upsetting the Indian guard
3. Brian Stubbs for asking about using the TP discount book, then running all the way back to the locker room only to find he had used all the vouchers from his TP book

Brian was awarded the prestigious Rotten Egg of the day.

KGPA - 23rd October 2015

We had 11 Eggers this morning at KGPA and after a rather surprisingly efficient checkin we teed' off on the Lakes and Forest nines. Weather was hazy which got worse later in the morning but the course conditions were good. The newly refurbished Forest nine was very good with much wider fairways and many of the trees removed. New buggy tracks, new bunkers and completely revised fairways and greens brought this nine up to close to the other two nine's standard.

We adjourned to Pantai Seafood Restaurant for a most enjoyable lunch and cold beers (supervised by Allan Wright who took great pains to get the beers cold).

Results

The clear winner today was Barry Sage with an excellent best gross of the day 85 and 41 points - Barry didn't make lunch so his winnings were quickly put in the kitty towards the lunch ... thank you Barry. Peter Davies had brought an extra prize for the winner today .... a golf ball "egg" in a cup so Barry will hopefully receive this in one live via Robert Mulliss. Runner up today was Peter Kenyon with 34 points.  Full results below :

Rotten Egg Award

We had a couple of weak nominations today .... Mike Smith for losing 9 balls and Robert Mulliss for trying to do a U-turn at the bag drop ...... so we decided on no award this week.
