SPGA Presidents Cup 2009 (Warren G&CC) Singapore

Played in the same flight with Unho Park yesterday at the SPGA Pres Cup 2009 Pro-Am. He got six birdies (most of the rest were at least par) and was saying he was not in best form! He uses a Bushnell range finder and can hone in onto the pin with deadly accuracy.

Met Zaw Moe, LCB, Murugiah and our own Shorthitter briefly during the after-game dinner.

A lady Korean golfer got a HIO, but it was not on a novelty prize hole unfortunately.

Messed up three holes with seven and over scores (the fast green are killers on some of the holes) but still came away with 95 gross which is good for my playing ability.

Sounds great CK. I'm sure you will be further inspired to hone your game after a game with a pro in the flight.

hopefully we can see 2 Zen ZA in play at this event...

anyone want to guess?

DGman

1. Justin
2. ???

Funni thing is all were Koreans (or Korean ethnically) in my flight.

Unho Park, two lady Singh beer reps and I.

BTW, todays results:

1. Q. Quek
2. U Park
3. CB Lam

Let's see if LCB can climb his way up to NO 1 position by the end of Day 3 (thurs).

BTW, Unho is a very nice person as well as a great golfer. The girls and I were all over the fairways while he waited patiently for his birdie or (at most usually) par shot finish. I wish I could say that about all the pros with which I have played in pro-ams previously.

I have from a reliable source that LCB is also very humble and tolerant of the other players while playing in pro-ams.

BTW, spoke with Warren G&CC's hopeful junior protege Edgar.

I wish him luck in future.

Great to see Short Hitter and his kaki at the dinner. (Both are GR Singapore active members.)

CK

yeah, Unho is a nice guy.. he coached me many many years ago... when i 1st picked up golf (2001 i think)... when he was in toa payoh range, when it was still called volkswagon... waahh.. damn old liao...

Unho Park (SICC) won the SPGA President's Cup 2009 held at Warren G&CC with a total three-day score of 208 (69 for today's score).

2nd Place: Quincy Quek 211 (69)

3rd Place: Justin Han 214 (72)

4th Place: Zaw Moe 216 (73)

5th Place: Lam Chi Bing 216 (73)

Note: They all played off the gold tees (played 'from the tips').

CK

i suppose 3rd place is Justin Han and not a lady that i haven't heard of right?

Yeah UR right, Sunny. Me tired from photo-shooting the whole event today.

CK

i would be happy to exchange places with you. Hahaha....

Journalist work not as 'comfy & cosy' as many people think.

And the low pay sux.



CK

do you need a freelance writer? Hahaha.... i could always check out a 2nd career option

ck i hope you did not get tennis elbow from carrying the heavy camera and lens.

i think the nightmare is not over....see you at tampines tomorrow.

Sunny--I will keep U in mind if got extra freelance work. We hired the ex-Golf Punk writer and radio DJ to do food reviews, FYI.

DG_Man--Glad to see you again. The rain delay really threw my (shoddy) playing rhythm off--maybe it was the three or four Singh beers while wating for the rain to cease?

Anyways, very wet golf courses are NOT one of my prefered playing conditions.

I enjoyed my chat with you and FrosTEE at the event.

This morning I realised that beer, wine and whisky should not be consumed together and in large amounts.

CK

definitely agree with you on this point, it should be either beer and whiskey, or wine and whiskey, less wastage!

True, MT.

Add some KTV antics after the game and you have probably had a bad golf day but a fun evening.
