Kundang Lakes @RM 2 per holes fight!

Last Saturday I joined a group of golf forumners playing golf at Kundang Lakes and I started off at first flight because one of our flight mates has a family appointment at 7 pm. At the first tee I asked my flightmates whether they want to play sixes and one of them wanted to play individually at RM 2 per hole..that's fine because I got more that RM 36 in my pocket..I was willing to lose and enjoyed the game. So we played scratch golf because nobody said anything about their handicap. After one of my flight mates had 3 pars in 5 holes..we realized that he was a low handicap player.

The second nine we requested for 4 strokes and after some bargaining we got it and we got even the second nine but lost four holes at the first nine. We have drinks at the club house after the game and all monies due was settled. My flight mates excused themselves and left early and here I am taking responsibility of the bill..I have always thought the winner would settle the bill! Not that I mind the small bill but are golfers really that serious in winning golf bets? I heard a guy has to give his 3 wood for losing because he didn't have enough cash to pay that day! Wow I said this is really serious...I would not have the heart to take his 3 wood, amongst friends we limit loss to about RM50 only..and that's to pay for the meals after the game.

Luckily my usual kakigolf do not bet and we remained closed buddies and played for fun every week...golf is fun only when we are not too serious, by the way my bro Hj Katek, how was your game this week? Heard you got hit by loose tee shot on hole 10 !!Avatar (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) [Blu-ray]P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program - 13 DVDs, Nutrition Guide, Exercise Planner

Bukit Beruntung East course

Saturday Morning 19 June 2010 started journey from Selayang to Salam 1 Restaurant at Bukit Beruntung for roti canai and teh tarik. Already waiting at the restaurant were Sharol and Bojai as they came together in one car. Hj Katek called to say he has just passed the Rawang R&R, OK looks like everybody on time!

I asked for roti canai, 2 half boil eggs and kopi O and further requested for kuah kari kambing..and that's when the shock came..the kuah kari kambing is RM 1.50, just the kuah...with kambing RM 4, forget it Bhaiya.., just give me Dalcha..Mamak Oh Mamak..

Registered for golf at the counter..no discount cards here, just pay RM 75 each and you get your receipt and buggies and off we go to the East Course! The East Course is much better maintained than the West Course..only that buggy is allowed on track only, the West Course allows buggy from tee to green!

Bangdolah, Bojai and Sharol all played decent golf but Hj Katek looked like lemah syahwat a bit..ever since he was transfered to HQ in KL, he is overloaded with work, how different it was when he was at the oil deck..the last 2 weeks he played, apa ni, driver tak jadi..flop shot pun hancuss..putting lagi la..tak yah cerita, good luck at his next game.

Sharol produced a driving show for the ages..260 meter on the fairway, he has done that quite regularly nowdays but just 40% of the time..Bojai played his best scoring 89 and me just 90.

We stopped for a photo shoot at the scenic Hole 16, a 190 meter Par 3 from the Blue T-Box. We finished at about 1.00 pm and me off to Kundang Lakes for another golf appointment with Kakigolf members, waiting for me there were Faris,Bob Daly and Syaiful COO..

Ahh..I love 36 holes golf on Saturday.

Shanghai Link Golf Club

Driving from Gran Melia hotel to this golf course was quite an adventure and we ended up late for our tee time at 7.00 am. There were three flights of mostly low handicap golfers and it was a enjoyable round of golf and the winner was a local golfer who scored 80 gross..and I managed a respectable 90 that included a 8 on a short Par 4..this is a link course and trouble is when you didn't find the fairway...

The Shanghai Links Golf & Country Club is a luxurious golf club which is equipped with tennis courts, a swimming pool, lake, gym and children's playing area. This 18- hole golf course has been designed by the great Jack Nicklaus. It also has a bar, restaurant and golf store.
