Tiger biscuit strikes again

Guest Editor - Hj Samuil Mohidin

All BMMJ players especially Hj Rahim, for info ......ada lagi mangsa biscuit Tiger ku last weekend.

Short storyline:
Tiga orang menjadi mangsa d Empire golf last weekend akibat memakan biscuit tiger....... Ada yang effect nya immediate ada jua delay, mengikut kekuatan badan masing2.
1) Hj Amir Osman- selapas makan , terus duff shot, lepas atu mainan hancur, no longer in contention.
2) Hj Shahbudin Musa- lepas makan teeshot makin kuat tapi sense of direction hilang, either kehutan atau rough, habis jua.
3) Mohamad Damit - lepas makan tee shot inda lagi jauh, sama macam orang umur 55 tahun, menderma jua.

Statistic to date - 4 orang mangsa biscuit Tiger......heehee

BMMJ player awarded P.I.K.B

Warmest congrats to BMMJ member Mohd Yunos Abdullah for being awarded the PIKB (Merit service medal) by His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei.

Weekend game: Orang Pencen jadi ATM

Guest Editor - Hj Mohd Zairin, Competition Secretary


1.Afandy Ahmad player to watch
14 BLNG & BMMJ players played at RBA on 23rd Oct 2010. Afandy never put his foot wrong during the day. Hj Dua, Pg Ali and Zairin were not putting enough challenge to shake him off. His game is back with loooooong tee-shots, razor sharp putter and final score –Gross/net 84/65 respectively – CHOP CHOP Handicap...... Player to watch for BMMJ play offs.

Something to be proud of Kap Ali - overdrive all players on 3rd Hole 10 meters passed the 100 meters maker and on hole 18... in terms of gross improved by 10 strokes better than the previous outing.

2. Zairin hit by own ball - injured left leg
On hole 13 trying to play safe, 3rd shot ball was near approximately 30cm from the buggy path drain line lips. 4th Shot ball did not get air-borne, instead hit the concrete drain and bounced back hitting left leg. Aduuhhhhh... panat ...... Lucky enough the ball did not hit other vital parts.... and first aid treatment carried out immediately with ice cubes – cold compressed. As a future learning asked for free lift....

Condition of Zairin’s leg after being hit by own’s leg....

3.Hj Dua become ATM
Awal sudah ada jinx – hole 1.. 3 on 4 putted.... this is it...... Hole 17 remains the Jinx hole for some... this time Hj Dua become the victim of hole 17 – Tee shot went OB, 2 balls went into water and final score 11 strokes – oiiiii banyak yoi. On hole 18 his Tee off went into the rain channel and final score ended with an 8. Overall gross score 104 and becoming ATM of the day.

Last group to tee-off comprising of Othman, Walid, Aidil and Nizam... Not much highlights to cover except that they played a record of 5 hours plus..... not sure about their score whats the plus..... plussss...

Backspin - Way back when Hj Amir was wearing trousers

Emm.. interesting how things have changed since the picture was taken style wise... Seluar baggy must be the trend back in 2002..

Words of the wise - Breaking 90 by Hj Mohd Yusof (GY)

Most people who play golf failed to break 90 consistently in their golf careers. This is obviously a major goal for “some seasoned golfers” and a source of major frustration...ending up as ATM of the day….Pai yah ni…..

There is one common observation that can be made about the games….. that is creating a serious mental barrier ... and that is an intense desire for "more distance".
The other common observation we can make about the game is to be passionate about golf and will do whatever it takes to improve.

Breaking 90

Knowing the distance numbers to break 90 takes away the pressure to operate at the high end of your swing capability on every shot Making smart club choices by clubbing down, also eliminates this distance pressure.

The strategy of adding the extra shot from tee to green to shorten your approach shots on every hole, not only reduces wasted shots from around the green, you also give yourself more par opportunities for a one putt par.

The desire to add more distance to your game can be a major mental barrier that is preventing you from lowering your scores and reaching your goal of 89.
Make the mental shift to thinking more on how to improve consistency by swinging well within you distance capabilities and your scores will drop significantly in a short period of time...

Good luck and good scoring in your next golf round!

Ping Anser - Performance review

Personal views of the new PING ANSER irons

1. Playability
Draw, fade, low or high the irons are able to translate your intentions fairly well although I do feel its a little bit draw bias. 3.5/5

2. Feedback
After hitting a solid shot, it feels as if you have hardly hit the ball and arguably almost 100% pass through feedback through the arms with very little hindrance. Strangely, mishits are filtered about 50% so your arms dont get too much hurt. 4/5

3. Distance & accuracy
I would say it only achieves about 80% distance compared to my Honma (like for like) although dispersion is less which helps to make up for the distance. 3.5/5

4. Forgiveness
Like all PING irons, reasonable forgiveness even for scoop or fat shots. 4/5

5. Summary
Cant really complain as it has earned back roughly 30% (nett) of the CAPEX to date. Nda lagi lama balik modal yoi! 4/5

BMMJ OOM - update

Summary - Top 10
Bahreen has closed the gap with points leader Hj Shahbudin though gap remains a substantive 500 points. Elsewhere, Hj Samuil moves up a spot to 5th while orang pencen again display some solid golf with a second consecutive top 3 position after his Runner-up finish last week at the October Medal. Just shows you that at 59 he is still very competitive.. Kalau dulu...

PMGC Outing - Old boy romps home

News headline
1. Bahreen comes back to old hunting ground
2. Kap Amir & Hj Shahbudin jadi ATM
3. Hj Rahim goes parless, Pg Ali's game is coming back
4. Nice weather, improving course
5. Quote of the week

1. "Old" Pantai boy Bahreen swept the opposition with a fine 80 gross / 72 nett to win the BMMJ Official game today at the better than expected PMGC course. Nearest challenger was Hj Samuil with a 87 gross / 74 nett while Pensioner was third also with a 87 gross / 75 nett. Well done gents.

2. Santa claus for this weekend were Kap Amir (standby SGD) and last week's winner Hj Shahbudin. Ada orang happy, ada orang cari insuran. Alum abis kah hari raya? hehe

3. According to reliable sources, our Major winner Hj Rahim could not muster a par this weekend.. mungkin banyak kana gertak kali.. While Pg Ali's game is in fine fettle for the upcoming Cryogenic Trophy with solid driving and putting display.. Only needs to block out his thought process when somebody says "Baik main mu kap!"

4. Weather at PMGC was an absolute peach with lots of cloud, nice gentle breeze and a decent fairway. Very conducive environment to collect some angpao Ah.. its nice to be back..

5. Quote of the week this time goes to Hj Shahbudin when he said "Its gonna be a long day" in reference to not able to repeat last week's triumph..

Dangdut golf never dies...

Week after week, month after month.. While some have suffered burst egos and a lighter wallet, others have gone home happy in the knowledge that their adversaries - young or old, short or tall, single or 24 h'capper... have been successfully beaten and vanquish.. happy the fact that when they go back to the office come Monday, is that somebody have earned the right to smile from ear to ear and even question one's invitation to play again at the weekend if the opponents are mere morsels who are ready to be run ragged again..

that is why we find ourselves playing again this weekend at PMGC...A sense of revenge? perhaps.. Maybe one player will say the magic words "Awu.. ketahuan ia kali ani, this is it"

So barring any further downfall on Friday.. it may well be that the hunter from last weekend may become the hunted...

Now you know why we love this game....

BMMJ Order of Merit - 4th Oct 2010, orang pencen moves into the top 10

Orang pencen and Affandy have moved into 10th and 12th position respectively after the October monthly medal and crucially putting them into the playoff position where the top 12 make it into the first tournament. Moving down is GY to 11 and Walid just outside the playoffs in 13th position.

Hj Shahbudin has an unassailable lead going into the playoffs as his nearest competitors either did not play or did not register a top three finish.
