Al Jubail Trophy

Saturday 11th April 2009

The Al Jubail trophy was played with great gusto by the participants even though with black clouds gathering above. Nevertheless, the clouds were blown away leading to some hot spells. There were seven flights with equal number of participants of orange (Asians) and reds (Arabs) even though there were a few that turned up in other colours.....

As usual, the President "changed" the rules prior to tee off as there was no one that understood the rules that were laid down by Dom (Dom, you need to be around next time....;)

The new rules entailed that the match was between the two teams based on stroke play with handicaps confirmed by Tuan President himself that morning and the winning team based on net total score.

Below are the scores of the various flights.

Flight 1
Red - Ali Sajut + Hj Drahman : 172
Orange - Then + Bojeng : 156

Flight 2
Red -Surya + Tang : 155
Orang - Othman + Hj Wahap : 174

Flight 3
Red - Yusuf + Shaiful : 163
Orang - Chong + Wan Azilah : 151

Flight 4
Red - Azahari + Yatim : 157
Orange : Syed Zul + Julai : 169

Flight 5
Red - Feisol + Sha : 155
Orange - Benny + Kassim : 154

Flight 6
Red - Yusri + Amno : 152
Orange - Hj Ahmad + Syed Rosdy : 143

Flight 7
Red - Capt Siva + Hj Ibrahim : 166
Orange - James Lau + Roslan : 168

Total : Red : 1120
Orange : 1115

With the Orange team (Asians) winning by a margin of 5 strokes.

Ali Sajut who is a bit rusty unfortunately lost to all and had to give one Srixon ball to each of the other participants which he sportingly did. Good try Ali ! We will see you on your next trip.

The winning team also had share of the spoils after deduction expenses.

The 2008 Trophy was also given away to Hj Ibrahim who won the trophy donated by Dato Aziz outright. Members should note that no points were given for the Al Jubail trophy competition.

Farewell for Dato' Aziz cum Raya Special Golf

It was one of the memorable moments to bid farewell to Dato' Aziz who brought along fine weather all the way from Kuching.

Odd number had forced the format of play from scramble to stroke play. However, the game ended successfully and the members were feted to a delightful dinner at Hotel Grand Palace. Finished with par golf of 72 net against his compatriots, Hj. Ibrahim Hj. Dawok, won the section A championship. Followed by Then V.T who clinched a 2nd position carded 74 net. Travelling all the way from Brunei betting for his luck, Roland Lee, won 3rd place scored a net of 75 proved worth the trouble.

Indulged by good weather, couples of Buayas (alligators) were happily lurking around the fairways and greens finally found their victims. For the first time joining KPMGA, Kevin Reginald, legally speaking showed a stunning start by carding 73 net to be crowned as a champion of section B. Meanwhile Wan Mohd. Azilah with his ever sharpened teeth fought hard against his opponent K.J. Choi, to win on OCB both of whom finished with 78 above par. Congratulation folks..!!!


Those moments were captured in Yusof's Public gallery below.
