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!

DRM Golfers results:

Silent but Deadly!

LOTP, Gold Tee, Freak nor the Real Deal got their hands on the DRM Golf Challenge Trophy.

The 2007 season shocker has not yet ended! First it was Pg Woody winning with an amazing 10-under in RBA. Now it’s the emerging of a new species: The Baby Faced Assassin playing an outstanding 6-under (nett 64) in Panaga Golf Club.

In spite of that, Mr HLD long hitter also playing with a nett score of 64 won the overall nett strokeplay.

DRM Golfers Top 10 summaries:

Baby Faced Assassin killing off every golfers dream of grabbing the DRM Golf Challenge Trophy in his debut return of 2007

Freak was left gobsmacked, nonetheless produced an excellent performance with a gross score of 86.
The Mad Cat shared 2nd place with the Freak grabbing $DRM 504,000.

Capt Coach produced a consistent good score snatching 4th spot on his own.

Pg Red Knights ran out of juice only able to claim 5th spot.

The Serial is another player to watch in 2007. On any given day, he can shoot a crazy score that can rattle anyone’s confidence.

The Loan Shark still lurks in the Top 10, still determined not to go away.

Bulldozer, Gold Tee Maniac and Ilan Jeev Milka Singh tied at 8th spot grabbing $DRM 70,000 each.

Other DRM Golfers highlights:

Pg Woody, Hard Core Killer and Gold Buaya produced a good consistent game but not enough to squeeze them into the Top 10 spot.

Pg Twister and Smiley who recently showed good form was burnt out in the Panaga heat.

Local Heroes: Real Deal and the Lord of the Putt were favourites that did not manage to perform that day.

Two DRM golfers (Venezuelan Slugger and the Chinese Mafia) that have been missing in action for several weeks have return empty handed but have shown that they will be back for more!

Result table shown below:

Victory At Last!

DRM golfers shows their true fighting spirit by edging SCM by ONE points to win the DRM/SCM Tour. It took the 13th player to break the tie amongst DRM and SCM after equaling in points on that day. DRM lucky 13 was the M Oil Man, contributing the victory with his 32 points.

In spite the absence of Gold Tee, Real Deal, LOTP and the Fairway Artist, overall DRM Golfers showed a great performance in RBA that day. The golfers played all their heart out to prove that they could beat SCM without their 2006 Top players.

Flat tire!
Nothing can stop the Mad Cat from turning up in the tour. He had a slight set back when he encountered a pothole on the road causing him to delay his tee-off due to flat tire. The Freak managed to save the day and rescued him in Kupang (where he almost got lost in the process). Pictures will be posted soon.

Game Day Summary:
Wonder Kid won the overall individual event AGAIN, completing his back-to-back victory. Will he continue his streak? We will see this coming Saturday, where he will enter the tour as an entry for his eligibility for the DRM Tour’s Prize Money.

El-Nino, a late entry for that day managed to scoop the biggest prize money due to the ineligibility of the Wonder Kid.

Twister still showing his fiery form is able to claim the runner up spot.

The Recruit, Wizard and the Freak shared 1st runner up with a prize money of DRM$506,667 each.

Gold Buaya earned his 1st Top 10-prize money in the DRM Tour to kick start his season for a place in 2007 BOTB.

Smiley’s 2007 season started considerably well, sharing 7th spot with the Loan Shark and M Oil Man.

Last but not least to scoop the Top 10 prize money is Pg Woody, still determined not to miss out on this year’s BOTB.
Rest of the field played considerably well, displaying respectable scores giving pressures to all SCM players. Performance of ALL DRM Golfers that day have widen the eyes of most golfers about the existence of DRM GOLF and what they are capable of accomplishing.

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.

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