DRM Golfers: Sleepless in KL

DRM 1st Tour in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia gave the team a great awakening! It was a two days event involving DRM, F1 Golfers and Malaysia (Shell, Petronas and contractors).

Day 1 (DRM vs. F1 Golfers)

Last encounter in Brunei, DRM lost 1 point due to a misjudge putt by DRM’s Mad Cat. DRM were trying to even the score and try to grab the inaugural Challenge Trophy.
Playing in the unfamiliar Glenmarie Golf Course, both teams did not show any sign of jitters.

Due to insufficient DRM golfers, Gold Tee has to recruit two of his brothers to strengthen the DRM squad. Involvement of both players gave confidence to the DRM golfers of winning the Challenge Trophy.

Gold Family Affair!
All the DRM prizes (TOP 3) were scooped by the Gold Tees Family; showing no mercy to the rest of the field.

In spite of the dominance, the team event was really close!
Format of the event was STABLEFORD SYSTEM 36 and the best TOP 10 scores count.
It was tied after 10 scores….
Tied after 11 scores…
Tied after 12 scores…
13th player from each team to decide… DRM 13th ranked player is Mad Cat (another burden to be decided).
Overall results (TOP 13): DRM Golfers lost 5 points to F1 Golfers.

We will redeem in our return match with F1 Golfers. (Time and Place to be confirmed)

Day 2 (F1 Golfers/DRM Golfers vs. Malaysian Golfers)



Fatigue and sleepless night for the Bruneian Golfers (F1 & DRM) made the golf tour a challenging match. After driving almost 2hrs from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca, the Bruneian Golfers reached the A Famosa Golf and Country Club without any fear to the ‘fresh’ Malaysians.

Still using the STABLEFORD SYSTEM 36 but modified (lowest handicap count), Bruneian golfer gave a good fight that day.
Scooping several novelties: Nearest to the pin and the Long Drive Challenge.
Nonetheless, the Malaysian snatched the Challenge Trophy putting their winning streak to 9 Years straight!
Based on the TOP 15 scores, Malaysian won 496 to 479.
Proud to say: “Seven of DRM Players contributed to the TOP 15”

To conclude the report, on behalf of DRM Golf Captain: We would like to thank our colleague at F1 Golfers for the invitation and for the whole arrangement on both days. It was a brilliant two days and hope we will have more matches between both teams….and we will get that Challenge Trophy soon!

Appreciation also includes the DRM Golf Captain for the success of DRM Golf 1st Tour in Malaysia.

Finally, the great applause should be given to both DRM Golfers and F1 Golfers involved on that day. In spite of the results, everyone had FUN!
