The Chinese New Year holidays this year gave us working crews 4 days holiday from Saturday to Tuesday and I had drawn a 4 days golf schedule, what it felt like playing 4 days in professional golf if they make the cut! But I am not a professional golfer so I use buggy but no caddy though. After passing the mandatory retirement age of 55 years, our body needs regular reminder that we can still do it...not only golf!
I started at Kundang Lakes Country Club on Saturday, playing with regular Golfkakis Jai (20), Sharol (24) and Atek (22) after resting from golf for three weeks due to work schedule, managed to score 86 gross that included 9 pars! On Sunday I played with Golfkakis from MyGolf Community, the likes of Rizal AK (16), Ivan Sim (17) and Asroff (24) and I scored 91 gross. The Serendah Golf Resort is undergoing green maintenance, all 18 holes. The greens were bare with no grass and a disappointment for us! Let the green cures in three weeks and we come back to play.
On Monday I returned to Kundang Lakes to play with Azharudin, Zahari and Hj Zainol and scored a lousy 94 gross that included 2 triple bogeys! Mind you the greens in Kundang Lakes had seen significant improvements and now probably has the speed between 8.6 to 9.0! That is a three-putt speed category and the breaks are now a challenge, good work Kundang Lakes! The other members scored just decent with 93, 93 and 94.
Today (Tuesday) I completed my 72 holes endurance golf with a score of 91 that included 5 pars! I played with same group as yesterday and they didn't play good either. Today their score were slightly better with 92,93 and 94.
My score for the 4 days self tournament were 86, 94, 91 and 91. Being a golfer with handicap +18 that would be a +2 for 4 days. I think it was a decent score over four days under hot burning sun...so the body could still managed hardships...its a good health indicator.
My golf colleagues rewarded themselves with huge glass of coconut drinks + ice cream soda with lots of ice at the Tasik Biru restaurant. In reality this is what we came for....the serene surrounding at the lakes with some people playing jet ski..waht a view...and drinks!
Lastly my thanks to Mr Saha of the KLCC Golf Committee for giving us some tips and pointers on golf ethics....and for inviting us to join the coming MB Selangor Friendly Golf Competition in March!
