Last year, when the Interstate Bar Golf Tournament was held in Orna Golf & Country Club Malacca, the Perak Bar golfers surprised everyone by clinching the runner up medal, trailing KL Bar by only a single. Our Mr. Andrew Yee was the overall individual champion and together with Mr. Ahmad Kamal Ayob, Perak Bar had 2 players amongst the top 5 players of the tournament. A job well done!
This year, when the Perak Bar Golf Captain, Mr. Dalgit Singh confirmed our participation, the spirit was different. Everyone was eager to prove that Malacca’s achievement was not a fluke and this year Perak Bar was represented by the following golfers:-
1. Tuan Haji Mat Diah Endut (Perak Bar Chairman)
2. Mr Dalgit Singh (Golf Captain)
3. Mr. Andrew Yee
4. Mr. K. Subramaniam
5. Dr. James Loh
6. Mr Ahmad Kamal Ayob
7. Mr Akhiruddin Mohamad Taib
8. Mr Muhammad Fuaad Saibun
9. Mr Zaizuraimy Abd Rahim.
Our team travelled approximately 480km to Pekan Pahang and the tournament was held in Pantai Lagenda Golf & Country Club. This course is not children playground. Located by the open South China Sea, the are a lot of elements awaiting all the golfers especially its unpredictable and nasty wind condition, not to mention the blistering heat thanks to the current weather. “This course will definitely silent the big talkers” said our Captain before the tee-off. 80 golfers from various State Bars took part this time and the mode of play was System 36 Stableford.
The Perak Bar Golf team performed tremendously and finally, we were declared as the outright team champion of this year tournament amidst some confusion over the scores with Selangor Bar in the process. KL Bar was the 2nd runner up. Mr Andrew Yee put the icing on the cake on the victorious day when he secured the Overall Best Individual Player for two consecutive years! For the team event, our winning points were contributed by Mr. Andrew Yee, Mr. Dalgit Singh, Dr. James Loh, Mr. Akhiruddin Mohammad Taib. Mr K Subramaniam and our Chairman, Tuan Hj Mad Diah Endut equally scored 31 points.
On the final note, I wish to congratulate all the golfers involved for their efforts and determination in writing this history with an outstanding performance despite the short notice of this event. My special thanks must go to the Chairman in representing Perak Bar, the Golf Captain, Mr Dalgit Singh for sponsoring out team T-shirts and Mr Andrew Yee for his excellent performance which was way above others. I believe that this is a good start for our sporting events and I personally urge and encourage other members of the Perak Bar especially the juniors to participate more in any events, especially sports, organized by Perak Bar.
