Obviously, it is time to gear up for the 4th Quarter issue of our magazine. The earlier we start preparing, the better it is for us to scale beyond the usual area of coverage for advertisements and other matters related to the production of the magazine. Those outside looking in may not have realised what it entails to produce a magazine the standard of which The Golfer aspires to achieve and, thank goodness, has achieved. small contribution towards The Golfer’s income via an advertisement. There is room for improvement in every department, more particularly so in the advertisement department. Those entrusted to take up the responsibility to solicit advertisements from prospective clients must push themselves to the limits to realise the potential of what can be gained with a little bit of extra mileage. As editor, I wish to appeal to every member to chip in to boost our collection of advertisement fund for the magazine. Club members having an interest at heart for the growth and prosperity of The Golfer should use all their influence and initiative to solicit contributions from among our members in the form of articles, sketches, cartoons, jokes, etc. The objective of our club is to make our magazine a piece of club journal equal to, if not better than, those produced by leading clubs in the Asean region. As I have always mentioned, The Golfer should expand beyond 32 pages. Prestigious clubs such as the Singapore Island Club, to mention just one, has its magazine spreading up to 50 pages. We may not be able to place ourselves at par with the Singapore Island Club but it is not impossible for KGS to produce a quarterly magazine with 35 to 40 pages. To do that, we have to get club members to be passionate about helping KGS in the enrichment of its club magazine. They could make literary contributions covering subjects of family, social, humorous, general and sporting interests. The measure of a club with premier status is that its magazine, monthly or quarterly, reveal the club’s intellectual strength, social influence and membership prosperity. Reading through the pages of The Golfer, we are still a long way before we could arrive at that lofty and developed stage. It is a pity that The Golfer is still unable to stand on its own feet from advertisement revenue. For the sake of transparency, advertisement income per quarter averages RM5,000.00. The quarterly expenditure for the production of KGS magazine is RM14,100.00. Hence, the need to subsidise quite substantially for every quarter. Leading clubs in the region that have taken full advantage of advertisement revenues pay for the production of their magazines entirely from the proceeds collected from advertisements. The management should sit down to work out strategies to overcome this shortcoming. We should take advantage of those committee members and club members who are influential and have business connections to assist us in procuring advertisement spaces. If we have succeeded to impress KGS members with our current effort, we should not be complacent and rest in smug contentment. Our success should breed more success. With everyone being conscious of our responsibility, we should make it our pledge to produce The Golfer solely from income derived from advertisements. Datu Dr. Haji Yusoff bin Haji Hanifah Editor-in-chief KGS can be proud of the quality of its magazine, its wide readership covering 3,350 members. All our affiliated clubs receive our magazine on a regular basis. As I see it, the opportunities out there are abundant, if not limitless. Personal contacts among committee members, club members and individuals with interests in our club welfare and those potential advertisement donors should do the trick rather than the traditional method of writing letters to would-be contributors. We all know that such letters of requests for advertisements in our magazine have never been answered and will never be. It is not difficult to understand why. In business dealings there is no better way to conclude a deal than personal contacts and personal touch. Editorial Committee Chairman: YBhg Datu Dr Hj.

Some members and visitors have commented that they now have no reasons not to have low scores playing at KGS. Many must have worked hard to make the improvements possible. I like to believe that there has been a ‘cultural change’ among staff and members of KGS; a change for the better and I do hope that this change will continue until this new culture becomes established. I note that many members and staff have been seen replacing divots, raking bunkers and picking up rubbish, such as cigarette butts, pieces of paper and plastic wrappers which were left behind by others, and throwing them in their proper place, the bins. It is heartening to see the caterers for the halfway houses stopping to do cleaning up around them. Obviously, there are still some culprits. Let us hope that these few will become fewer as they become aware that their uncooperative and inconsiderate habits are not welcome and adding costs and damaging the club. It is important that the improvements must continue. KGS is more than just a club servicing its members. It is where visiting dignitaries, right up to Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, play golf when they visit Sarawak. Our members include “Who’s Who’ in Sarawak. Our President is the Chief Minister. KGS occupies a central place in Kuching and what happens at KGS and the state it is in, can be a reflection of what Kuching is all about. We are obliged to keep the pride of Kuching high. Let us bear this in mind and help make the club a better place - a place where we can all keep our head high and enjoy our golfing experience and relaxation to the utmost. Selamat menyambut Bulan Merdeka. Tan Sri Datuk Amar (Dr) Hamid Bugo Vice President 4 Captain’s Message Captain’s Message in all) comprising a few management committee members and some of our senior golfers, went to Singapore and played at 4 of the clubs affiliated to KGS namely, the Singapore Island Country Club, Warren Golf & Country Club, Seletar Country Club and Orchid Country Club. Dear fellow golfers, Traditionally, at KGS, the second and third quarters of the year are the busiest times at our club, with all the major and club tournaments in full swing. This year is no exception. Our September calendar is already full, with the change of venue for the Merdeka Cup (originally to be held in Sibu) to KGS. We’ll take a break in October during the Puasa Month before we “push on” again in November with a few more major tournaments to come. Heading the group was our Deputy President, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. Wong Soon Kai. We played friendly matches against the team put up by Seletar Country Club and Orchid Country Club respectively. Not only did our team enjoy the friendly matches and generous hospitality of the host clubs, we also managed to enhance our relationship with their committee members whom I’m sure will help to nurture bi-lateral relationship between KGS and their clubs. We’ve extended our open invitation for their members to visit us and I’m sure we’ll be ready to reciprocate their hospitality when they visit us next. Almost all our tournaments are over-subscribed, an indication of the strong support from our golfers. For this, I thank you all. A tournament can only be as good as participation ... without keen participation of members, even a well-sponsored tournament will lose its “shine”. With keen participation and interaction in golf tournaments, we naturally develop fellowship and goodwill amongst members and fellow competitors. Many of you would have noticed the spoon drain that we built over the past few weeks alongside the buggy track in the Matang and Santubong course. With the occasional onset of heavy showers during the past week, we had the opportunity to test the effectiveness of these spoon drains, and the feedback seems very positive indeed. We’ll be installing more such spoon drains alongside a few more stretches of the buggy track which are more prone to be water-logged, to prepare ourselves for the coming landas season. This is the spirit that gives a club, our club, the oomph! We can see the spirit of goodwill and friendship clearly exhibited around the club house especially at the golfers’ terrace. We tend to take this for granted, but often the scene was “picked-up” and noticed by our visitors who often commended us on this, the “KGS Clubbing Spirit”, the spirit that we need to continue to nurture and build on, to make our club ... a place like no other! Lastly, it gives me great pleasure to report the recent successes of 3 of our own junior golfers. Leonard Chin won the Mercedes Trophy Masters Tournament in Bangkok and the victory earned him a place in the Teens on the Green World Championship to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA in October 2006. Well done Leonard! We wish you every success at the Championship! KGS played host to a VVIP twice during the past 3 months! We are deeply honoured by the visit of Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Ibni Al-Marhum Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail, first on 18 th June, 2006 for the Ngiling Tikai Golf in conjunction with Hari Gawai Celebration and again on 31st August 2006, when His Majesty was in Kuching to grace the National Merdeka Celebration in Kuching. Unfortunately, the game was cut short due to inclement weather. 12-year-old Abdul Rahim Abang Abdul Rahman emerged the A Medal Champion in the recent Astro Masters played at Damai Golf & Country Club. This win earned him a place in the Astro Masters Grand Final to be held at Pantai Indah Kapuk Golf Club, Jakarta on 15-18 November 2006. 14-year-old Amanda Chin won the Sarawak Classic Ladies Section held at KGS recently. Yang Di-Pertuan Agong was generous in his comments regarding our course (ref. to page 15 and 22 for a reproduction of his comments in our Visitors’ Book). We are very grateful for His Majesty’s encouragement and will strive to continuously improve on the maintenance and upkeep of our course. We eagerly await His Majesty’s next visit to KGS. Congratulations to all the Juniors for their recent successes and I am sure we’ll hear more of them in the future. I made mention of the inter-club visit to Singapore in the last issue of The Golfer. I’m glad to report that in August, a group of us (22 golfers Patrick Chieng Club Captain Happy Golfing!

KGS Charity Fund was started in the year 1999. The main objective of the fund is to provide financial assistance to charitable organisations in Sarawak particularly in Kuching. News from Caddy Committee, Captain’s Committee 2006 The Caddy Committee has taken steps to look into the performance of the caddies as well as their welfare. Caddy Evaluation Form Caddy of the 2nd Quarter of 2006 Wan Hamdan Caddy evaluation forms are provided for golfers to assess the performance of their caddies during the round of golf. Assessment shall be based on their knowledge, skill and attitude as caddies. Every caddy before caddying shall be given a caddy evaluation form and he shall hand it over to the golfer at the end of the round for assessment. The evaluation form must be deposited into the Caddy Assessment Box provided. Awards will be given out quarterly to the best caddy assessed. This evaluation will also provide some basis for upgrading of caddies. This year the award for the best caddy of 2nd Quarter went to Encik Wan Hamdan. Caddy Charity Fund The Caddy Charity Fund was started in June 2006. The objective of the fund is to provide financial assistance to caddies who are in need of help due to any unfortunate happenings. In the months of June and July, with the generous contributions from the members, guests and staff of KGS, we were able to collect about RM 2000.00 for our long time serving caddy, Minggu Wee who had served KGS since 1990 until the unfortunate incident last year which caused him to be paralysed. The fund will be given to him in three stages, the first of which consisting cash RM 500.00 and daily goods worth RM 300.00 was delivered to Minggu at his house on Friday, 11th August 2006 by a delegation headed by the Deputy Club Captain, Caddy Committee Chairman and the Club Management.

As usual many factors have brought husbands to join forces with the wives to outdo other couples It was played on June 16th and the battle was at Siol and Demak. About 20 couples took part and that morning there was a lot of ‘huh hah’ among husbands that they were threatened by their wives if they decided to change their mind not to play because they were invited to join the Agong at Matang-Santubong (The Ngiling Tikai event). The husbands were quite tempted to abandon the wives but a little persuasion did go a long way. Thank you ladies for your stand to support us. We would like to say thank you to all husbands for making time to spend their weekend with their wives. A big BRAVO to all of you.

A keen basketball player at the time, his main intention for joining our KGS Gym was to improve his speed, physical endurance, jumping ability and overall power. It was easy to see that just after a few weeks of regular gym sessions, Dexter was increasing his muscle mass exponentially. Seeing as though Dexter was growing so well, I felt it was my duty to suggest that he should take up bodybuilding. I knew he had great potential to be one of the greats, as I could see from his body structure, growing ability and obvious ‘Body Builder Genetics’. Taking into account his age, he would make a great body builder. I discussed this with him, but he seemed uncertain and claimed to only be interested in basketball. After a long conversation, I managed to convince him to give bodybuilding a chance. But there was a catch, in order to record and view his own progress, he would have to stop playing basketball, as it would affect his muscle growth. Many intense, restless months of consistent training and dieting passed, whilst his physique changed and evolved, until he decided to join his first professional bodybuilding competition, the Mr. Kuching Juniors Under 21 Body Building Competition, which was held at the Kuching Civic Centre, on the 24th of June 2006. He entered an ordinary guy, but left a champion. Taking only a few days to rest and celebrate his victory, he quickly moved on to prepare for his next competition, the Mr. Sarawak Juniors Under 21 Body Building Competition at Rajah Court Hotel on the 15th of July 2006, where again he ripped through all of the contenders in his category. His victory can only be described as ‘perfect’ as everybody in the audience could clearly tell who the victor would be from the moment Dexter walked to centre stage. The result of his victory in the Mr. Sarawak Junior Under 21 Bodybuilding competition did not only end with Dexter receiving the Mr. Sarawak title, but also an invitation to represent Sarawak in the Mr. Malaysia Juniors Under 21 Body Building Championship on the 29th July 2006 in Penang. This will be his hardest competition yet as we are all certain that he will again, be victorious. We wish him all the best and hope that he returns to us as the Champion of Malaysia, bringing glory to the State. Win or lose, Dexter will still be our rightful champion. Good luck Dexter, we’re with you, buddy. 28 The Library Title: The Parisian Affair Author: Judith Gould Allegra Sheridan is a jewellery designer in Manhattan.

We will make sure that jokes published are decent and acceptable humour. Jokes Jokes Johnny’s Tee Time Johnny was an avid golfer. He played golf every chance he got; in the rain, in the cold, he even used black balls to play when there was snow on the ground. His wife joked, half in jest, that she was a golf widow and she really wouldn’t miss her husband all that much if he died before her, for he was never around anyhow. He spent all his spare money on golf items and gadgets; trick exploding balls, tees with no indentation on the top so the golf ball would roll off it, towels with witty golf sayings on them and all kinds of golf hats. “Good gracious, Johnny, no one has ever asked me that question before. I’ll have to go back and check on it. Go back to sleep and I’ll be back in about 20 minutes.” With that, the angel disappeared. Johnny rubbed his eyes and opened them again. The angel was gone and Johnny wondered if he had just had a weird dream. He rolled over on his side and was soon snoring softly again. True to his word, the angel reappeared within 20 minutes. “Johnny,” the angel called. One night he was in bed asleep after having played 36holes of golf that day. He was tired but he dreamed of replaying the whole round. Suddenly his dream was interrupted by the appearance of an angel. It was an angel like he had seen in Bible drawings and other art work depicting angels. He was instantly awake. Johnny woke up to see the angel again standing at the foot of his bed. “Oh, you’re back.” “Yes, Johnny, I’m back and I have the answer to your question. But before I tell you, I have to advise that the answer is in two parts, good news and bad news. Which do you want first, the good news or the bad news?” The angel, with a full set of wings and wearing a long flowing white robe, stood at the foot of his bed. “Johnny,” the angel said. “Yes, what is it? You are an angel, aren’t you?” Johnny asked. “Of course I’m an angel. In fact, I’m your guardian angel” the angel replied. “Does that mean I get three wishes?” Johnny asked. “Oh dear, I suppose give me the good news first,” responded Johnny. “Okay, the good news is, there are golf courses in heaven. All the courses have been designed by Bobby Jones, Jene Sarazan and Sam Snead. There are no green fees and electric carts are provided at no charge. You have the choice of any brand of clubs you desire. Each course has 36-holes. The greens are always freshly mowed, the sand traps freshly raked, the roughs aren’t too high and you never lose a ball in the water for the balls float. When you hit a ball into the woods they always ricochet back into the middle of the fairway. And on every par three hole you will score a hole-in-one. Yes, you will have a wonderful time playing golf in heaven.” “No, I’m not that kind of guardian angel,” the heavenly being answered. “As you know, Johnny, you’re getting on in years and you don’t have as much time left on earth as you once did. Although I can’t grant wishes for you, I can answer question you might have about the hereafter. You do believe in the hereafter, don’t you, Johnny?” “Oh yes and I’ve been good, with maybe the possible exception of having played too much golf in my lifetime,” Johnny replied. “Playing golf is like going fishing,” replied the angel. “There is no such thing as playing too much golf or going fishing too often. Do you have any questions about heaven?” “As a matter of fact, I do,” answered Johnny. “I’ve often wondered if there are any golf courses in heaven. Can you answer that question for me?” “Oh, that sounds wonderful. With all that good news what could the bad news possibly be?” Johnny wondered aloud. “The bad news is you have a nine o’clock tee time tomorrow morning.” 30 Golf Jokes Down to Earth Again A keen golfer died upon reaching his 52nd year. He had been known as a notorious golfer during his lifetime. He would not have any qualms breaking golf rules and altering his scorecard to improve his scores especially during competitions. In other words, he would cheat at all costs. So notorious was he that the golfing fraternity gave him a nickname: “Mr. One Cheat One Putt”. Members of the golfing fraternity paid their last respect at his house. Among them were a woman and his 3-year-old son. As they were standing by his casket, the woman’s 3-year-old son asked, “Mommy, what happened to him?” She replied, “He died and went to heaven.” The child thought for a moment and said, “And God threw him back down?” A Hokkien Joke ..... Look After Your Head When Playing Golf While playing golf, Louis Lim, one of the senior golfers, was hit on the head by a golf ball that ricocheted from the branch of a nearby tree. He had a concussion and was hospitalised for treatment. Dr. Quek was assigned to be his doctor. Soon after Louis was discharged from the hospital, Dr. Quek made a routine house call. He asked, “And how are you doing today, Mr. Lim?” Louis replied, “I feel just fine, doc. But you know, it’s the strangest thing. Every night when I get up to pang jio, the bathroom light goes on for me automatically when I open the door!” Dr. Quek was worried that the old Louis was getting senile, so he phoned Louis’s son, and the son’s wife answered. Dr. Quek told her, “Mrs. Lim, I’m a little concerned about your father-in-law. It seems that when he gets up to urinate at night and opens the bathroom door, the light somehow goes on...” At which point, Mrs. Lim yells, “Aiyoh, Ah Seng!
