Close to 90 golfers took part in this 'Major Finale' of the SGC calender for 2010. Held at the KGSAAS in Shah Alam, the sky threatened to 'rain-out' the game, but by the grace of God, with only a short spell of moderate downpour, all the competitors managed to complete the game.
It was earlier rumoured that the 'super senior' batches were to be represented by at least 3 full flights. Unfortunately this did not materialise and only the regular Prof Khalip Raffar was there to carry their flags for them. Pakdokter wondered what happened to the senior gentlemen.
Pakdokter managed to get 7 golfers from pakdokter's batch to participate and it was a nice reunion for us.
Pakdokter played from hole no. 12, together with batchmate Mohd Rom Ismail, one year junior and dormitory-mate, Haji Yusof Abdullah who came down from Kuala Trengganu and newly-recruited SGC associate-member , Tg Azman Tg Zaid, pakdokter's regular betting-mate at the RSGC.
Tg Azman had just returned to golf after a 2-months lay-off due to a shoulder 'tendinitis' and has regained his form and confidence as evidenced by his regular thrashing of his better younger brother for 6 or 7 times at the RSGC the past few weeks. So naturally he challenged pakdokter to our regular bet, convinced he was going to make pakdokter pay for his golf tournament fees.
Pakdokter got to a bad start - hit the first tee into the right forest. It did not help that one of the 'players' in the flight behind pakdokter whispered to his colleagues ' Looks like it is going to be a longgggg day......' After clearing the second shot from the rough pakdokter sent the third into the water and finally putted home for a 9!
It looked promising for Tg Azman, he went 1 up then 2 up after the 3rd hole and was 3 up with 3 to go at the 6th! Pakdokter took a long time to clear the 'irritability' from the comments of the 'young golfer' who did not attend a proper 'finishing school' in golf etiquette.....
Finally regaining pakdokter's composure, pakdokter went on to win the 3 remaining holes to square the match and win the 'dommie' and the 'buy'. So pakdokter walked into the 2nd Nine with twenty bucks 'capex!'
The 2nd Nine was a closely fought game, we were neck to neck all the way and was still square at the 7th hole. And at the start, TgAzman had doubled-up his 'risk' confident of turning the table around. Alas, pakdokter was the lucky one. Despite holing in for a 7 at the 8th hole, Tg Azman went in for an 8. And at the last hole par-3, 190 yards, uphill hole, pakdokter sent the ball to the green with the driver, and the shackled Tg Azman sent his ball short with his 3-wood. Pakdokter coolly collected a par and went home with a total of 100 bucks.
See you again next time, pakTengku.....

Mohd Rom Ismail, Tg Azman, Hj Yusoff Abdullah and pakdokter...
Zaher Zainul kept us waiting..he sent his ball into the lake from the tee...
this was the 'young golfer' who made asarcastic comment when pakdokter's
first tee-off went into the forest....
pakdokter do not know him..
he did not look like a SGC member..
must be a 'guest' of a member laa...
at one of the par-5 hole, he teed-off before pakdokter could hit the 'third' shot....
and the ball came close to 10 feet of pakdokter's feet...
he did not even have the cheek to come over and apologise....
even though it was already the 3rd shot...
look at the distance la, bruder......
pakdokter ni senior tauuuu....
