Only a golfer who is physically fit and strong or one who is frugal and saves every penny (sen) still plays golf either by pulling his own golf bag with the aid of a trolley or he hires a caddy to do the donkey work for him. Yes, your guess is correct. I am going to draw your attention to the buggy issue and devote the entire editorial on the golfer’s new “beast of burden” - the buggy. I will touch specifically on the new KGS buggy system that is about to go into full operation pretty soon. The contract for the current buggy operation at KGS expires on September 30, 2013. After this date SKH, the present contractor who has been KGS buggy contractor since October 1, 2001 will cease operation. For the last 12 years SKH has made available 144 serviceable buggies. In the course of those 12 years the contractor has provided satisfactory service in spite of minor ups and downs. On the whole, KGS appreciates the contractor’s patience, understanding and cooperation. Such an atmosphere has enabled both sides to work together as a team to meet customers’ needs. The question on every golfing member’s mind is this: Is SKH’s contract going to be renewed? The answer is a plain “NO”. Now, the next question is “What next”? This editorial helps to explain to members that with effect from October 1, 2013 KGS has decided to run the buggy operation on its own and an external contractor will no longer be necessary. For a start, 140 units of golf carts (buggies) have already been purchased at the total cost of RM3.3 million. Our buggy supplier will deliver the 140 buggies at the latest on September 30, 2013. First and foremost, the in-house operating system will necessitate KGS to bring about some changes, for the 4 • The Golfer better, we hope. It is learned that there will be a marked improvement in the buggy service. This is welcome news. Naturally, the buggy centre will have to undergo a substantial redevelopment and upgrading. This will require spending, and funds will have to be made available for that purpose. That brings to mind the need to upgrade the buggy tracks which are showing signs of wear and tear after all these years as well as the inevitable effect of ageing. It is therefore to be expected that we would soon be seeing a new, improved buggy system. There has been much thought going on behind the scene prior to the implementation of the new buggy system. Both the pros and cons have been carefully considered and thrashed out. It is clear that the in-house buggy system is the better option, and therefore, its implementation. The management deserves our congratulations for doing what it does to raise the standard of overall club facilities to keep abreast with other clubs in the region and to march with the times. Our optimism should not be so quickly dampened by the news that the club requires members to exercise strict discipline when using the new buggies. In fact, it is desirable for everyone to be disciplined. In all our dealings in life we are governed by discipline, rules and regulations. We have to learn to treat these buggies as our own properties. In fact, they are. Therefore, we need to drive our buggies with the greatest care and to avoid being reckless and careless. Remember that each time a buggy is undergoing repairs there is money involved - KGS money, for all you know it is members’ money. By that we mean it is our responsibility to see to it that the rules and regulations carefully crafted by those who have the knowledge and experience on this matter to ensure buggy and user safety must be strictly observed and adhered to. Every golfing member is entrusted with the responsibility to be MESSAGE the caretaker of the buggy they use. I am sure that that is not too much to ask of everyone who shares the ideals and objective of such a rule and regulation. Members may or may not know it. A good and functioning buggy is necessary to attract more prospective users. I would certainly avoid renting a bad buggy. A buggy that fails to function properly will cause so much inconvenience when your mind should be focused on your golf not the problems created by a malfunctioning buggy. A poor buggy that constantly breaks down will definitely affect my game. There should be more buggy users to bring more income for KGS. Members should be alert and aware of the possibility of our club buggy as an income generating sports apparatus.

Captain’s T he club revived its golfing activities after a month long silence in Ramadan and kicked off with the Hari Raya Open House Golf on 18th August which was overwhelmingly participated by our members. The much anticipated Captain’s Alumni Golf followed closely behind which was held on 1st September 2013. The last month of the third quarter also witnessed the visit by DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong XIV Almu’tassimu Billahi Muhibbudin Tuanku Alhaj Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah and DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Hajah Haminah to our club for some recreational golf with Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Datuk Patinggi Abang Haji Muhammad Salahuddin together with senior government officers and local dignitaries in conjunction with the “50 Tahun Sarawak Merdeka dalam Malaysia” celebration organised by the state government. KGS will be sending a team of elite golfers to participate in the Sarawak InterClub Championship 2013 which will be held in Bintulu Golf Club. I would like to wish our team all the best and do well to defend the title held by the club. The Professional Golfers Malaysia will once again organise the PGM MNRB Sarawak Masters at KGS which will be held on the 3rd – 6th October 2013. The event will be played at Siol Demak as Matang Santubong is currently undergoing some course improvement works. Our new fleet of buggies is expected to arrive at the end of September and will be put into use by early October. We are also planning to renovate our current buggy centre and have allocated two of our tennis courts for use as temporary buggy centre until the completion of the renovation which will take about 2 months to complete. In view of the high investment that the club has put in to operate its own buggies, there shall be some adjustments to the buggy fees with effect from October 2013. We seek the understanding of our members for the fee hike and assure that the buggy services will be elevated.

Kalau bercakap tangan bukan main lentik lagi macam orang nak main mak yong. Farish terpaksa menerima Erica kerana dua sebab. Pertama,sebab wasiat arwah Tengku Khaleeda.

Mired in a disastrous divorce, the Prince attempts to distract attention from his next amorous pursuit by ordering Grayson Christopher, the eligible Duke of Darlington, to pretend to London society that he is having an affair with Kate. When Grayson reluctantly agrees to his Prince’s demand, he finds the lady no more willing than he is. Kate will grudgingly act the part in public, but her favors are not for sale to any man. As Grayson and Kate mimic ardor for the world to see, they find what started as deception becoming all too real. And when passion flames into love, their predicament becomes extreme. For while marriage between a duke and a courtesan could never happen, Kate knows in her heart that she is willing to accept nothing less… Ti t l e : Gypped Author : Carol Higgins Clark When Jack Reilly, head of the NYPD Major Case Squad, takes a trip on police business to California, Regan decides to accompany her husband in hopes of fitting in some time together. While Jack is working, however, Regan runs into an old acquaintance. Zelda recently had quite a windfall; an elderly neighbour she befriended died and left her eight million dollars. And with Jack stuck in meetings, Regan is delighted when Zelda invites her to a big party at a Hollywood mansion. There’s trouble brewing, though. Many of the guests seem jealous of Zelda, and she confides to Regan her uneasiness that her father’s brand-new wife may be in it for the money. When Zelda falls ill, Regan fears that it’s something more sinister than food poisoning, especially when she finds a huge butcher knife hidden near her own car. Are scammers the only danger, or could a killer be on the loose? Ti t l e : Blood Line Author : James Rollins A millennium later, Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force is dispatched to the African jungle, teaming up with former Army Ranger Captain Tucker Wayne and his military war dog, Kane, on a covert mission to rescue the U.S. President’s pregnant daughter from Somali pirates. But Pierce fears the kidnapping masks a far more terrible terrorist agenda – a suspicion proven true in a fiery ambush and a deadly act of betrayal … and by the fire bombing of a South Carolina fertility clinic half a world away. Suddenly Gray Pierce and Sigma Force are in a frantic race to save an innocent unborn baby whose very existence raises questions about the nature of humanity. And behind it all is a deadly cabal that has been manipulating events from the shadows throughout history… and a devastating conspiracy rooted in human genetic code that Pierce must expose before it alters humanity forever. 20 • The Golfer The visiting relative A n elderly lady from a remote interior village went to one of the most fashionable suburbs to visit her niece and husband. Nearby was a very well known golf course. On the second afternoon of her visit, the elderly lady went for a stroll. Upon her return, the young niece asked, "Well, Auntie, did you enjoy yourself?" "Oh, yes, indeed," said Auntie, beaming. "Before I had walked very far, I came to some beautiful rolling fields. There seemed to be a number of people about, mostly men. Some of them kept shouting at me in a very eccentric manner, but I took no notice. There were four men who followed me for some time, uttering curious excited barking sounds. Naturally, I ignored them, too. Oh, by the way," she added, as she held out her hands, "I found a number of these curious little round white balls, so I picked them all up and brought them home hoping you could explain what they're all about." Married Four Times Golf Jokes T he news division of a local TV station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20's and he was in his mid-50’s. She met her husband when she was playing golf and she was also an avid golfer at that time. Her second marriage was to a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now - in her 80's - a funeral director. The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers. She smiled and explained, "My first marriage was for the money, my second marriage was for the show, third marriage was to get ready, and fourth marriage was in preparation for me to go." Anniversary Present At the Murugan Golf Club near London, married golfing husbands are treated to a quarterly marriage seminar. Last week, after a game of golf, the speaker for the seminar approached one golfing husband by the name of Nadarajah. The speaker said to Nadarajah, “You are approaching your 50th wedding anniversary. Could you spare a few minutes and share some insight secret how you have managed to stay married to the same woman all these 50 years?” Nadarajah replied to the assembled husbands in the club’s seminar room,‘‘Well, I've tried to treat her nice, spend money on her, bought her enough jewelleries and sarees, but best of all is, I took her to Chennai, India for the 25th anniversary!” The speaker responded, ‘‘Nadarajah, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?” Nadarajah proudly replied, “I’m going back to Chennai to pick her up." A Big Kiss F or health and fitness reasons, John, a fifty something burly biker, goes to the golf course for a game of golf on his bike unlike his colleagues who drive their cars there. Riding back home after a game, he stopped at a bridge where he saw a scantily dressed girl, sobbing, was about to jump off. John stepped forward and said to the girl, "Darling, just before you jump down the bridge, give me a big kiss." JOKES To break the monotony of serious writing, “The Golfer” includes jokes in this issue for your entertainment. KGS members are welcome to contribute jokes to help enrich our collection.

It is our hope that by laughing at ourselves (and others) we can make this subject more approachable. If you find religious jokes published here objectionable, we apologise. As with most jokes, the original authors are unknown – but we thank them anyway. The girl gave John not one but two very long and passionate kisses. John then said to her, "My goodness, those kisses were very arousing, but why do you want to jump off?" The girl responded, "I am very annoyed with my father who was very angry with me dressing up like a girl....."
