Kampung Pulau Melayu Golfers Association (KPMGA): November 2008

OUR MOTTO

“We play with friends but we don't play friendly game..”

Chronicle of KPMGA

by D. B Matzin

Started its inauguration early in 2006 under the unification of jovial golf nuts who labeled it then as FOM Club, bestowed in honour of senior founding fellow old men (FOM) who were often targets of provocative remarks by their fellow young men (FYM). Ridiculed by 'slanders and insults’ in a number of friendly grueling pastime undermining their capabilities, FOM took the juvenile fellow mates to punishing defeat. Concluded on par if not better hat-trick of victories proved that the old horse still yearns to run....... As more and more FYM joined the club that it began to change its identity. The nuts called it KPMGA to reflect the atmosphere and eccentricity of kampung way of sport. The 'association' grew from a tiny seed to a mighty nut.

If you think, you’re Golf Nut – this will be a venue for you to sprout!!!

November 2008 Monthly Medal

HOT OFF THE PRESS - 16 Nov 2008 7pm

After a break of nearly 5 months with even an event having to be called off due to rain, a KPMGA event managed to be organised and completed.

The November Monthly Medal saw 27 golfers (including 2 ladies) vying for the long awaited chance to wrest the trophies from Hussein.

It was not a good start to the day with heavy rain having fallen earlier that morning leaving the fairways of KGM wet and soggy. Luckily the rain reduced to a slight drizzle by tee off time. The drizzle came to halt bringing a hot sunny morning into the fore.

The competition ended with a lunch at the club after which the prizes were presented to the deserving winners. Below are the list of winners :-

Watch this space for the pictures from the event. All please note that the next KPMGA event would be towards the 3rd/4th week of December. Please keep the weekends free for the last event for 2008.
