BSP Corporate Golf Tournament Update

(DRM NEWS NETWORK, PANAGA): DRM's resident Pro Rafali & his young padawans achieved a shock result this morning on the links styled Panaga Golf Course by taking Team OS into second place in the BSP Corporate Golf Tournament, narrowly losing out to three-in-a-row champions BLNG. Young Padawan Kher Wee & Za'iem continued their good golf form by posting in scores that would add to the eventual OS total team score. 

Another notable achievement was Serial's score of 39 stableford points which was good enough to take him to 2nd spot in the overall individual category. After a woeful round at RBGCC last week, he was definitely keen to prove a point to his doubters. A respectable 91 gross certainly goes along way to banishing those 110+ scores of late!

Lord of The Putt Sani playing for team HP endured a miserable day however, after a late night playing host at his daughter's wedding gambus at home. His trademark monster drives were no where to be seen, with only his uncanny knack for navigating Panaga's low bunkers with his putter saving him from further blues.

Pg Woody also had a slice of bad luck well before the sirens for the shotgun start went off, when he suffered a tyre puncture on the Muara-Tutong Highway. Drawing on all the man-skills he could muster, he went about the tyre change in double quick time, managing to just about make the opening tee-off! (Though this DNN reporter did spot him being ferried to his opening hole on the PGC buggy!!)

DRM was well represented this morning, with 12 players in total representing their various departmental/asset teams. In no particular order they were;

1. Serial

2. Gold Buaya

3. LOTP

4. The Recruit

5. Real Deal

6. Bulldozer

7. Venezuelan Mafia (Moises)

8. The Coach

9. The Han

10. Hillarion

11. Sharp Shoot (Zaiem)

12. Kwikshot (Kher Wee)

Aidiradiman Takes Home DRM Challenge Trophy!!

(DRM NEWS NETWORK, BSB): There were a number of serious contender's for this morning's DRM August Monthly Medal held at the testy RBGCC course in Jerudong, but only one man came out tops. The man in question just happens to be one of DRM's founding fathers and his impressive record of 2 wins in 3 tournaments played over the past 2 years has everyone else in the DRM Tour thanking their socks off that he hasn't been able to feature  as a permanent fixture due to work commitments outside Brunei (he's currently 'on loan' working on Shell's mega-project in Sakhalin, Russia).

When asked what his winning strategy was, he simply had this to say, "I had the advantage of playing on the same course last week with Hj Jaafar and Rahim, where i played well, and so i was quietly confident coming into this morning's tourney."

Aidi's nett score of 79 was actually a three way tie with DRM Resident Pro, Rafali and DRM's big buaya, Pg Shamhary, but pipped the two for top honours by virtue of a score countback, with his par on the 18th hole ensuring that he'd be bringing that DRM trophy on with him to Russia.

Also posting an impressive score was a DRM junior golfer, Young Kher Wee, elder brother of Brunei's teen-golf sensation, Young Tat Wee, posting a nett score that was enough for him to take 6th spot in the DRM category.

When DNN tried securing a post-tournament interview, the DRM Captain was no where to be found, and so we'll have to reserve the announcement for the venue for the next DRM monthly medal and the 2nd round of the DRM's Captain Trophy to another day!

Pictures from the prize presentation & an interview with the Asian Tour Pro, Rav Gaganjeet who featured in this morning's DRM monthly medal will be posted by end of the weekend!

Real Deal Lifts His 1st Ever DRM Challenge Trophy!

"It's taken me three years to finally get here!!!", those were the words of an overjoyed man finally getting his hands on the DRM Challenge Trophy. Rafali 'The Real Deal' took home top honours playing a very impressive 85 gross (74 nett) on a picture perfect day at the RBGCC course in Jerudong, on a day when many whimpered and folded in the heat and jungle humidity.

In what turned out to be the slimmest of leads into the finishing hole, the Real Deal came out trumps ahead of Johnny 'No Balls' Han and Faizan Ghani by just the one stroke, finally proving to all his undoubted pedigree and golfing talent. 

Saturday's medal tournament also turned out to be one of the biggest ever attended DRM event, as 44 golfers tee-ed off in some 12 flights all vye-ing for the impressive array of trophies at stake. The kudos having to go to our two excellent hosts for the event, Pg Arrifin and Pg Suhaimi for making this an event to remember. 

Hj Jaafar Bakar, also stunned the group by carding a round of 94 gross (72 nett) which was actually the morning's best score, to come in 1st place pipping a sizeable group of single digit handicappers in the Invitational category. 

One last thing to note. Wasn't the Nasi Lemak wrapped in banana leaf served for lunch the best?!?! I'm definitely going back for seconds!

DRM Golf Mentiri

A very good turnout during DRM National's Day tournament despite the Public Holiday. Thank you for all DRMers and guest players for making it a memorable event.

Pantai Mentiri Golf Club's soggy fairway has created more challenges than usual (looking for their balls in 6 feet under). Despite that all players has shown great enthusiasm in playing their best. Well unlucky for the last flight for only finishing 16 out of 18 holes but salute to them for tying.

It was fun to see Brunei flag's theme as a few players are showing their patriotism to their country. G-Khai won the best dress with his red cap, yellow shirt, white sleeves and black pants.

Full details out shortly.

Asmadi wonders in RBA

04th February 2008

2008 season for DRM golf has kicked off in RBA on the 26th January 2008 with a bang with a great participation from fellow DRMers. A great start to a great year ahead.

Asmadi scored a nett of 72 to win the initial tournament of the year. Behing him the captain and Swee Meng.

It is worth to mention that AmirS (who plays golf only twice per year without practice) has manage to finish the game with a par in his hand (pun baik last inda apa lah). Asking if he wants to be a pro......."Nah....." what a waste of talent!!!!

2008 Greeting from Captain

14 January 2008

Dear DRM golfers,

Greetings from the Captain,,,,,,,,,,,,

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone once again a happy, prosperous and joyful year 2008! I also wanted to take this opportunity to welcome our new DRM Golfers Association (DRMGA) members!

2007 was again another great year for DRM Golf. DRMGA has slowly and surely became a 'known' name in Tour competitions in Brunei Darussalam. This was evidenced by the notable increase in invited guests participation in our Tour events throughout 2007 season. Bravo and congratulations to all because this high level acceptance would not have happened without everyone's contribution. Keep up the excellent efforts. Lets give DRM Golf another huge bang in 2008 among the golfing community in Brunei Darusslaam.

With great pleasure, I attached herewith, our DRM 2008 Tour Calendar.

A few changes/improvements to the 2008 DRM Tour are:

1. Two new venues are included; Kelab Golf Miri (KGM) and Empire Golf & Country Club (depending on our negotiation on green fees).
2. Our organization of the 2008 Tour and the qualification for the end of year Battle of the Bridges will be changed slightly.
3. A new individual matchplay competition vying for the Captain's Challenge Trophy is introduced. Details are explained below.
4. Members handicap will be revised based on 2007 performance. Handicap software will be bought and a newly revised handicap based on the software will be effective by April 2008 (to be used effectively by our first Major _ DRM Pantai Mentiri Masters).
