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!
