Revenge is Sweet?

The time has come! DRM will try to avenge their lost during the last DRM/SCM Friendly Tour in August 2006. It was a very tight duel, SCM edged DRM by just 2 points (DRM: 343 and SCM: 345). That match produced a controversial issue when the Mad Cat did not play for DRM with his great form that caused DRM to lose the valuable points.
In spite of that, this Saturday expect to be a challenging encounter. Both team currently tied in the head to head glory, will try to be the 1st to claim the early lead on grabbing the inaugural Challenge Trophy sponsored by Hj Musa (currently a DRM regular).

DRM will field the following players:
1) The Coach – will lead the field seeking for 1st 2007 DRM Team win
2) Twister – currently in a HOT streak playing sub 90s recently
3) Serial – still searching for the right focus
4) Hard Core Hitter – 1st appearance with Smiley since the “Major” incident
5) The Wizard – seeking for 1st DRM title for 2007
6) Pg Woody – the Golfer of 2007 …. Hopefully not out of steam yet.
7) Loan Shark – starting the season with two good results this year
8) The Recruit – surprise package end of 2006
9) The Gold Buaya – always eager to give everyone a scare
10) Pg Joker – his debut DRM game for 2007
11) Smiley – also another debutant for 2007 tour
12) Pg Red Knights – always bet with his “balls”…(golf balls)
13) The White Red Knights – never underestimate his golf skill
14) The Oriental Red Knights – seems to grabbed all DRM Trophy last year
15) Mad Cat - the player that help us lost the last DRM/SCM Tour...hope his mindset is right
16) Last but not least…. The Freak!

DRM will also field new talented players for 2007 that will help DRM to glory:
17) Da Freak’s Boss – seems excited to join the DRM tour
18) Mr CIA (Compliance, Intervention, Attitude) – currently showing sign of hunger to win
19) The Bulldozer – cannot stop playing golf
20) Venezuelan Comrade – another counterpart of our own Venezuelan Killer
21) M Oil Man – previously known as Tanker Dealer
22) Lexus Mafia – another title contender for 2007
23) The Wonder Kid – After this Tour he will be eligible for the DRM Prize Money..so BEWARE!

Details of DRM/SCM will be posted soon.

Freak Major Come Back

Last year’s DRM Golf Prize Money leader have officially kick start his 2007 Season by claiming a win in DRM 1st Major of 2007.

The 30-year-old Bruneian, who started the season with an abysmal result and missing the cut on the 1st DRM Tour of 2007 proved everyone that he is still in his prime.

He has now completed his task on aiming to join the list of players who have previously won the DRM Majors: Gold Buaya and the Pg Joker Ali.

He also joined the Lord of the Putt on equaling the record of winning the DRM Golf Challenge Trophy three times.

Inspite not winning the BOTB 2006, the only story that really counted yesterday at the Eastwood Valley course was the Freak Show, grabbing FOUR Trophies: DRM Golf Major, DRM Golf Challenge Trophy, DRM Golf Nett Winner and 1st Runner Up in the DRM-BEBE Tour.

The DRM-BEBE Tour Summary:

Faiz Damit, another DRM “Wonder Kid” produced an excellent result with a gross score of 76 claims the overall Winner for the DRM-BEBE Tour.
The Real Deal scooped the Runner Up of the overall DRM-BEBE Tour.
Despite having 3 DRM Golfers in the Top 3 of the overall score was not sufficient to beat BEBE Team Score of 1092 to DRM 1115 (based on Top 15 Lowest Scores).

DRM Golf Major/14th Monthly Medal Summary:

Real Deal have started the season very well being in the top 10 in two games in a row, also claiming the Runner Up in the DRM Major yesterday.

Pg Woody proved his critics that his win on the last DRM Monthly Medal was not a fluke by winning 1st Runner Up with his new and revised handicap.

The Gold Tee, Wizard and the Tanker Dealer claimed a share of 2nd Runner Up to scoop a prize money of DRM$966,667 each.

The last chunked of prize money was equally distributed amongst the Loan Shark, Lexus Mafia, Mad Cat and the Recruit for claiming a the 7th spot.

More results below:

Wood Weekend

Both Tiger Wood and DRM Pg Woody won the Buick Invitational and DRM 13th Monthly Medal respectively

Pg Woody won the title in a dramatic score of 10 under leaving his closest challenger 6 strokes adrift.
He came in the tour as an underdog, not giving any sign of threat to the other title contenders.

Whilst other DRM golfers were concentrating to focus on beating LOTP and the Recruit, he just smiled his way to easy victory.

Other winners were also:
Gold Tee, not a stranger to all, only managed to claimed runner up. In spite of good performance, playing two under, he was denied of claiming the 1st title of the year.

The Loan Shark, have started his 2007 season with a phenomenal comeback, trying to prove to everyone that 2006 was just a small glitch in his golfing career.

The Wizard also managed to scoop 4th spot, also still trying to seek for his 1st DRM Title in his belt.

DRM invitational also played really well (results shown below), good turnout from them has given the season opener a new taste of what’s in store for 2007.
Pictures will be posted soon.

Lets get it Started!

Welcome to the new season of DRM Golf Tour.

The new captain, Coach have shown good initiative on releasing schedule of events for the whole of 2007.
Welcoming notes to newcomers and emphasizing on DRM’s motto was also included in his introduction.

Will we see any new changes under his management? Only time will tell.

The 1st Tour will kick-off next Saturday (27th January 2007), seems attracting a lot of players. All eager to compete and get their head start on claiming the honour.

So lets get geared up for 2007 season and hopefully someone can stop the Lord of the Putt.

Get Well Soon LOTP

Note: This Article was written before LOTP had his heart attack and is currently in KB Hospital, hope he recovers soon.

Jerudong, Brunei - the Freak was in his focus mind of winning BOTB when he awoke at 5:00 a.m. that Saturday in December 2006 only to watch the LOTP to steal it from him.

What he saw that morning brought equal doses of awe and reality.

Freak had spent countless hours working on his game, driven by the dream of being No. 1 in DRM. On the green that morning was 48-year-old Lord of the Putt becoming the oldest (But Young Inside) DRM 2006 Champion.

"I thought it was unreal," Freak said.

And it didn't take long for him to recognize that his dream might be just that.

Freak will show up at RBA for the start of the 2007 season with his game as good as it has ever been. He found consistency to go with that polished swing, rose to a career-high No. 1 in the DRM 2006 Money list ranking and captured two DRM Monthly Medal Championship to finish a career-best No. 5 on the DRM BOTB TOUR.

The final few steps, though, seem like a marathon.

"All this time, I dreamt of being No. 1 in DRM," Freak said "How am I going to live up that dream? I've got to somehow figure out a way to play better than this guy over a pretty long period of time. I don't think I'm making up ground on him, but at least I'm creeping up to a level that's competitive."

Then he paused, and finished the sentence with a smile.

"On a good day."

That's not giving up. That's reality.

"It's unfortunate for us that we've probably got the best putter of all time that we have to be better than to be No. 1 in DRM," Gold Buaya said.

"But we're also fortunate to be playing in his generation. We're all better because of him. The tournaments are better, there's more people to play in front of."

Gold Buaya broke through in a major way last year, winning the EastWood Tour- 1st DRM Major Championship. He finished sixth on the money list despite only able to take the 8th spot in the DRM BOTB TOUR.

Long considered one of the greatest achiever in PGC division “D”, his goal was always to be the best, figuring the No. 1 DRM ranking would come along with that. And now?
"I still have aspirations to be No. 1," said GB, now at No. 8. "I think it's feasible. Is it feasible when he's having a run like he's having now? I don't know."

Wizard already has won in two DRM Sponsored Cup, Freak's two victories in the DRM Monthly Medal, Gold Tee also won twice last year and grabbed the tour's best nett golfer and Gold
Buaya’s credential on winning his 1st DRM Major in 2006.

All of them have solid credentials, weakened only by comparisons to Lord of the Putt.

"The hardest thing now is for DRM Golfers to realize this LOTP benchmark is out of most everyone's league," Freak said.

"I think it's a hard thing for us to find out when he face him. I certainly found out it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be."

But he hasn't given up a dream nurtured since joining DRM.

"You can't give up on your hope of being No. 1 in DRM," Freak said.
"I want to be No. 1, and I believe I can be. But I've got to be realistic. If I play my best golf in the next five months, then I might be No. 1. If. Maybe. And it depends on what he (LOTP) does. But it's five months away for me."

Another pause, another smile.

"Maybe I'll catch him between swing changes or if he lost his putter," Freak said

Lord Of DRM Golf

LOTP disappointment at missing out on the DRM Order of Merit title was eased on Saturday when he was named the tour's # 1 Golfer of the Year after winning the DRM Battle of the Bridge Tour.

The Freak pipped him in the Order of Merit race but only manage to claim the fifth spot on the final day of BOTB.

The Lord, on the other hand, was determined to win in RBGCC, was able to come out top and edged out the Recruit by 1 stroke. It was a tough battle for both contestants after seeing the lead change several times.

The Gold Tee Maniac (Best Nett of the year) and Wizard both also shows good fighting spirit and climbed 3rd and 4th place respectively.

Real Deal who is still struggling with his current form also able to grabbed 6th spot, 6 strokes behind the Freak.

Great rivalry between the Mad Cat and Gold Buaya come to an end, after both shared same nett scores BUT Mad Cat outclassed GB on count back.

Most Improved Player of 2006 – the Coach also edged the Fairway Artist on count back scooping the 9th and 10th place respectively.

Twister produced another abysmal result dragging him down to 11th place, whilst the Serial who was determined to claim the middle spot nailed his 12th spot position. In spite producing Shot of the Day on hole 12 (teeing off Happy Gilmore style) and claiming one novelty prize (nearest to the pin on Hole 3), he finished the day with a gross score of 141 (What happened dude?)

"It is a tremendous honour to be named DRM Tour Golfer of the Year," said LOTP.

"To win three times in 2006, Best Gross of the Year and claim the #1 DRM player of the year before finishing runner-up to the Freak in the Order of Merit was extremely satisfying, although it goes without saying that next year will be a different story.
"The race for the number one position with the Freak, Recruit and the Wizard was truly exceptional and, I believe, fired the imagination of the golfing status in DRM Tour”. Added LOTP

Nonetheless everyone showed gutsy performance on that day and deserved to be given a round of applause for a magnificent ending to the year 2006 season.

Hopefully 2007 will be another good year for DRM Golf under new management of The Coach Pg Ahmad Sufrizan. More Tour and more New DRM Players joining us still relishing our motto “Playing For Fun!”

Full results are as shown below.
More pictures will be posted soon.

Lord of the Putt moves into BOTB lead

LOTP will take a one-shot lead into the final round at Augusta of Asia (RBGCC).

The well above 40-year-old Bruneian, who won DRM Tour 3 times this year, bogeyed the last to fall back few strokes but then watched as his closest rivals also faltered.

Playing with LOTP in the last pairing will be the Recruit - the winner has come from the final group every year since 1990 in PGA Augusta Masters Tour, Will it repeat itself in DRM Tour too?

Either man would be a popular and worthy winner.

Recruit, the 12th DRM Monthly Medal Champion, has never missed a cut in Prize Money if entering the tour, while LOTP, who won his third title at RBA this season, has had several top-five finishes in most of his DRM Tour appearances.
But with 12 players, including the rest of golf's "big five", within four shots of the lead it will not be easy.

Alongside the Recruit, the Freak and the Wizard, who posted a nett score of 86 and 90 respectively, will also try to stop the LOTP.

The Real Deal and Gold Tee Maniac would be forgiven for wondering how they are not playing in the same group as LOTP for the second straight round, but with their new-relaxed (side-bet) approach to golf they are probably not too upset.

The Mad Cat was in excellent shape coming in the tour. But he then was probably too relax whilst playing with his sunglasses through 18 holes.

The Serial showed great character by not giving up and determination not to stay long at the last spot. The Coach also produced some memorable rookie debut by showing his existence in the 12-men group.

Gold Buaya was on fire when playing his practice round on Wednesday, but struggled on the day, dropping a lot of shots to go 11th of the table.
The Fairway Artist back showed a good bounce, as he moved up the ladder and put an attempt to stop the LOTP, only shy of 11 strokes. He will be paired with the Twister, who sang his way down after struggling on most of his shot in RBA.

BOTB camp follower, Loan Shark and Pg Woody showed a classy performance with scores enough to challenge the leader and proved everyone how they deserved to be part of the tour. On the other hand, Smiley is still struggling to find his iron swing.

When asked about the significance of playing in the final group at RBGCC on Saturday, LOTP said: "I didn't give it much credence yesterday, but now I am leading I like that stat. Just wait and see this Saturday ...hope everybody will give a good fight. That is my main aim”. He smiled.

DRM Golfers set for Battle of the Bridge

Each DRM golfers will be aiming to claim the first ever title of DRM #1 Player of the Year.

The Freak, who topped the DRM money list in 2006 is also a first for DRM history record, is one of players involved in this event.
The 12-man field includes Terengganus's Gold Tee Maniac as well as eleven local Bruneieans.

"I am READY FOR THIS!" said the Coach.

"The more experienced long hitter will no doubt have the edge, and we will also look at up-and-coming players to shine in the tour with their enthusiasm and skill." Comments from the Freak.

This year, the competition has a more formal qualification format as the DRM Board of Directors now sanctions the event.

Eight members of the field were selected based on their ranking and season earnings while there were 4 wild card spot grabbed through tough qualifying round.

Kuala Belaits's Real Deal is another player determined to avenge his poor run of form by aiming to outscore the rest in this tour.

"This tour I will try my best to score below 80," he said.

"I know I am facing a strong opposition such as: LOTP, Gold Tee and Gold Buaya but if I found my form back, we will have a good contest."

The tournament starts this Saturday 16th December at the Royal Brunei Airline Golf Club and concluding on the 23rd of December 2006 at Royal Brunei Golf and Country Club, Jerudong.

Pre-BOTB review

The DRM Golf Battle of the Bridge will soon be teeing off this Saturday with a lot of pre-match hypes and mind game exploded amongst BOTB players. The Battle opts to be the tour of the year, where each player will be aiming to be crowned the BEST DRM GOLFER of 2006.

Gossips pre-BOTB:
1) The Twister sacrificing to play for BOTB instead of seeing off his children fly off oversea
2) The Wizard seen practicing ALONE in PGC, followed by self After Action Review in the driving range ALONE
3) The Gold Buaya bought a new Mizuno MP60 iron set with Mizuno leather cart bag (Supersticious)
4) The Real Deal predicted the following as big contender: LOTP, Gold Tee and Gold Buaya, probably as reverse psychology that he too will be the man to watch. After confessing that he will be determining to play sub 80s in RBA and RBGCC.
5) LOTP plays mind game that his putter is still struggling (serviced in China?)
6) The Recruit played a practice round of 99 at RBA, gave warning to the field that he can play from any tee box
7) The Serial commented on his confidence of claiming middle spot in the leaderboard without any practice
8) Gold Tee Maniac silent smile to every players also warned everyone that his recent form in RBGCC will not repeat
9) Freaky slump? Believe it Or NOT?
10) The Freak caught practicing in RBA with Gold Buaya
11) Will the Coach buy new stuff prior BOTB? (as proven from history that he plays well with new equipment)
12) The Mad Cat practicing his short game ALONE in PGC
13) Smiley and Your Highness also caught practicing in RBGCC for DRM final event
14) Fairway Artist will only put his eye on ONE man in this tour à Gold Buaya
15) Nerve wrecking rivalry between Mad Cat and Recruit will soon explode
16) The Twister bought a Cobra Sydney 1 putter recently for BOTB
17) Closed door training of the Coach with an Irish Pro named Des
18) The Loan Shark played 96 at RBA from the black tee proved that he is worthy of BOTB (still puzzled on his form in the DRM Golf Tour)

The saga continues….

DRM Golf 12th Monthly Medal - Pictures

BOTB-Q Day Results

It was a nerve wrecking day for the 7 players needing to qualify for the BOTB last Saturday.





End of the day…..

Real Deal, Coach, Serial and Mr. 101 won themselves a spot for the inaugural 2-days DRM BOTB Tour in December.

All seven players deserved to be applause for their great effort and determination on that day. It will be a day to remember, for those who qualified and vice versa. It can also just be a reminder to every DRM Golfer: It’s not easy to win in the DRM Tour!

Smiling Shocker in RBA

Man in-form, Smiley finished the day with an abysmal gross score of 112, missing out 4 strokes from the wild card spot behind his closest rival Serial.

"I just don’t know what happened today, I lost all my hitting power,” said Smiley.

Serial not in his full potential on that day managed to grabbed the final spot for the BOTB. His ability to execute consistent regulation play scared the Freak but his putt was the real culprit.

The Loan Shark and Mr. Woody were another duo that missed the cut due to inconsistent scores. Both scoring 118 and 112 respectively, can only hope that their form will improve for the new 2007 season.

Panaga Riot?

All 3 Panaga qualifiers will finally get to play on the BOTB Tour after claiming a full spot at the Qualifying tour Stage.

"There were 7 great players here this week and to qualify the BOTB from a field of that quality is a very great achievement,” comment from the Coach.

A nervous, final round of 112 was enough for the Coach to claim 3rd place on that day. Real Deal and Mr. 101, two of the favorite to qualify, proved their voters right for earning their deserved spots.

Weekend Golf Tip

Control your chipping distance

By Chuck Cook

Golf Digest Teaching Professional

Here's a practice drill that's used by many teachers, with a modification that makes this version very effective.

Lay a damp towel just on the green and hit chips that land on the towel and end up within a club-length of the hole. Dampening the towel not only keeps it from blowing away in breezy conditions, it also more realistically reproduces how the ball reacts on landing.

Hitting the towel will also tell you if your trajectory is correct.

Move around the green and change clubs depending on the lie and the distance to the hole.

Have a nice weekend and happy golfing everyone.

Who will qualify for BOTB?

Who will qualify to play for the DRM Golf 2-days Grand Finale BOTB this coming December?


Seven players have confirmed their participation for the qualifying round, trying to put their names in the DRM history to play in the Battle of the Bridge and battled out for two days aimed to be the DRM Golf Player of the Year.

2) Serial Renny also missed out the last tour due to work commitment is determined to beat his close rival (Smiley). His previous DRM win at RBGCC will boost his confidence for the BOTB if he gets through the qualifying round.

3) Fairway Artist (Mr 101) Rahim, one of DRM co-founder will be aiming to get in the BOTB mainly to face his main nemesis Gold Buaya aka Tiger Wood “D”.

4) Pg Woody Shamhary, will kick anyone once his woods start to fire up.

5) Real Deal Rafali has been out of shape this past few weeks, just missing out the cut after failing to perform in RBGCC. He will be playing in his favourite course (PGC) for the qualifying round.

7) Last but not to forget, Pg the Coach Ahmad, in his rookie season will be trying his best to overcome his nerve to reach the final stage of the season.

Entrances from the other DRM Golfers who are in this season tour are still welcome to participate in the qualifying round

Prodigy and Recruit emerge victorious

Rookie Prodigy Lai held his nerve to win the season-ending DRM 12th Monthly Medal Overall by two shots in RBGCC, Jerudong, on Saturday.

The Prodigy carded 2 birdies and 10 pars to earn his place for next years spot in the DRM Golf Tour.

Red Knights Board of Director, Ang Swee Meng, who closed to within two shots, ended with a nett score of 80 for second place.

The highlights of the day….
The pre BOTB Tour $3.0M event featured a starting field of 30 that was trimmed to 28 after withdrawal of the Serial and Abdullah Nawi was a tight battle for everyone.

The Recruit, determined since joining the DRM Tour finally produced one of his best game ever, scoring a nett score of 81 and scooping the inaugural DRM Champion.
And the Recruit became the first golfer to trail the field by a wide margin (12 strokes). With the win he automatically confirmed his spot for the upcoming BOTB.

Recruit outclassed the DRM field scoring 1 birdie and 4 pars enough to put his name on the DRM Challenge Trophy. His closest rival on that day was Mad Cat, scoring a nett score of 94, also managed to confirm his spot for the BOTB this December.

"He deserved this title, and he has almost won the tour several time but it seems today was his day" Mad Cat said.

"This is just the perfect way to end a great first year for me on tour, and confirm my spot for the BOTB" recruit quoted after the game.

Real Deal and the Gold Tee Maniac got a smacked in the face and woken up to reality, after producing their worst results of the year. GT who only managed to produce ONE par on that day was forced to eat his word (after self declaring his handicap to 4) after finishing with a nett score of 96.

Fairway Artist (Mr 101) returned after a long spell of rest also managed to scoop some prize money in the DRM Top 10 but not enough to clinch an automatic spot for the BOTB. Satisfied with his performance, he outclassed his rivals Gold Buaya and Hardcore Hitter.

The Coach also shared his winning with DRM Baby Faced Assasin (Amy) tied on 9th place. Both will feature in this Saturday’s qualifying round for BOTB.

GT declares ready for battle

The Terengganuian, fired a final-round 83 for the day to snatch the SEN/CONTRACTOR Tour last Saturday.

It was GT's second victory in two weeks in a row that has shaken DRM number one LOTP who played one of his abnormal game ousting a 66 gross score at the Empire Golf Club’s front nine.
Other DRM players who participated on that day was RD, Ilan Jeev and the tactician.

GT began his wonderful hot form after winning the Panaga November Division B Monthly Medal and elegantly showed everyone when he managed to play 36 at PGC front 9 prior to the tour.

GT is also confident on his chances on the upcoming DRM Battle of the Bridges. He even self declared his DRM handicap to 4 (which is currently 6)

"Latest news, I will again be entering HSBC 'World' Tour Championship this week. At my tip top drive condition, I believe will again easily 'ngap' the humongous championship trophy. After that, we will take tournament break till BOTB at Jerudong/Mentiri/Eastwood/Panaga/KGM where ever not to be worried.

"I will also declare my handicap to 4, if that also I win…… there must something wrong with the other DRM players….." GT’s quote after his remarkable win.

The other DRM Players are yet to see him in action since his last DRM tour in August.

DRM Golden Boys shine in PGC

DRM Golf duo Gold Tee Maniac and Gold Buaya scooped another victory outside DRM Tour last Sunday.

GT unsurprisingly won the PGC Division ‘B’ Champion trophy with an excellent nett score of 69. Despite the long fasting break, GT have shown his tremendous determination to grab the BOTB title to prove to everyone on his golf excellence.

GB, well known for his ability to hustle using his high PGC handicap, deservedly won the Division “D” runner up trophy. He showed his consistencies by finishing with a nett score of 71.

Other DRM Golfers playing on that day were:
Real Deal, still not awakened from the long golf break produced one of his abysmal golf career resulting with a nett score of 86.

Ilan ‘Jeev Milka Singh”, played one of his best game with a satisfying nett score of 76, just shy of 6 strokes to beat GB.

LOTP, 3 times DRM Champion still struggling to find his magic putting strokes can only finish with a nett score of 76, not enough to challenge the field on the day.

Last but not least, the Golf Freak outclassed by the heat and loss of form, was struggling on every shots only managed to end with a nett score of 74.

Weekend Golf Tip

Reaching for Tiger-like power? Don't over-extend.

Keep the left arm feeling loose and connected as you turn away from the ball.

By Jim McLean

Golf Digest Teaching Professional

Tiger Woods often talks about getting 'width' on the backswing. The proper extension of the left arm is a source of power because it helps create a wide arc to the swing.

While this can be great advice, the problem is, many players apply this advice incorrectly and extend themselves into trouble. The left arm goes wide, but the body center stays at home. This disconnect leads to poor arm location on the backswing, excessive tension in the left arm and limited body coil. People think they're doing something good when they have an over-extended, rigid left arm, but what they're doing is losing all naturalness in the swing.

Keep a feeling of softness in the left arm as you swing the club back. This feeling will help you hinge your wrists. The left arm is the radius of your swing. Your shoulders, arm and hands should coil in sync. Be careful not to let that left arm over-extend or work independently, and thus change the setup radius of your swing.
