Nearest to the Pin!......

Pakdokter played for RSGC against KGNS this weekend. 30 pairs from each club competed for the Musa Hitam Trophy. The first game was played at the RSGC on Saturday afternoon. Pakdokter partnered Ahmad Khalid and played against KGNS pair of Kamal (12) and Shamsuddin Hussein (14). Pakdokter played to a handicap of 24 and Ahmad Khalid 10. The game was played on a 4-ball-best-ball format. Ahmad Khalid had lost his usual form and fortunately pakdokter's game had come back and managed to keep the KGNS pair at bay utilising pakdokter's stroke advantage to the maximum. We were square until the last hole 14. Pakdokter's drive was the longest and the second stroke with an iron-9 saw pakdokter's ball regulation on on this par-4 hole. Pakdokter helped take the match without needing to use the stroke.




And pakdokter also hit a good drive on the par-3 hole 12 which played to a long 197 yards. Pakdokter used a wood-3 and took the nearest to the pin prize of the day.




RSGC led KGNS 48 points to 8 points on the first day.




The second game was played at KGNS on Sunday morning. Pakdokter partnered AK again against Shamsul (10) and Chong (12). It was again a closely fought match and pakdokter's pair contributed 1 point to RSGC when we came square against our host's pair. The Sunday match was played on a best-stableford points format.




Although pakdokter did not stay back to the end of the prize-giving event - the results that trickled in suggested that RSGC was likely to take home the Musa Hitam Trophy.
