The SGC President's Cup was held at the Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Resort on Sunday afternoon after the AGM of the Staroba Golf Club where a new comittee was elected in for the period of 2010-2012. Pakdokter fortunately ( or unfortunately) was elected in again as a committee member of the club. Included in the line-up was also Mr Yuzer Yusoff, while the rest of the team was made up of the committee members who had served the club from the previous term.
The 60 golfers who took part in the President's Cup teed off to a short-gun blast. Playing to a stroke-play format and to 'the preferred lie" rule due to the soft ground caused by heavy rain the previous few days, pakdokter(24) was slotted in a flight consisting of Yuzer( 19), Ali Ariffin(24) and Hamid Shafie(24). And all of us were in the Senior Golfers category!
Apart from the competition, the 4 of us played a paired match-play amongst ourselves, changing our partnership after every 6 holes. Pakdokter's partnership with Yuzer thrashed Ali and Hamid and gave us 3 balls each. Pakdokter's partnership with Ali lost to Yuzer and Hamid by 1 ball ( we squared the game but lost on the insurance) and finally pakdokter's partnership with Hamid lost full house to Ali and Yuzer.
On the sideline, pakdokter also played a matchplay against Ali, playing a hole for hole game for a damage of $10 per hole. PakAli won the first 2 holes after which pakdokter slowly squared the next 3 holes. We both won 2 more holes each to end up with zero winnings at the end of the first 9. In the second Nine pakdokter hit 2 pars consecutively to start leading pakAli comfortably. At one stage pakdokter was already 4 up but was careless in the last few holes to allow pakAli to catch up and in the end pakdokter won the game with just 1 ball. It has been quite a while since pakdokter last won against pakAli in our games!

pakAli, pakYuzer, pakdokter and pakHamid...semuanya seniors.....
In the overall competition pakdokter was surprised that pakdokter came out second in the Senior's category. Pakdokter came home with a gross score of 104 (50/54). The others probably were off form that day to allow pakdokter to secure the second place....
