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!

The other winners of the day were:
