    in exce llent cond ition resulting in low scores,

    except that it was played under the

    Based o n the respo nse, it is go ing to be

    the feedba ck of memb ers, may change

    the format of play in the annual c lub

    Classic c ha lleng e, being n ine-strokes

    under par 72. While Ricky may have wonthe B Meda l in the Bridg estone challenge,

    we had to settle for second place as he

    As pa rt of our com mitment to

    continually improve our Golf Academy

    and level of service, we have revised our

    current Junior Golf Program and are

    proud to launc h our new 2009 Junior

    Golf Program.

    The a im of the new p rogram is to

    introd uce your kids to g olf by wa y of a

    structured and enjoyable golf program.

    The kids will ente r the prog ram as Leve lOne students and work their wa y

    through the p rog ram, till they grad uate

    as a Level Four student. Upon passing

    Level Four, they will earn an official USGA

    handica p, which will enable them to

    play on the go lf co urse a nd c omp ete in

    junior golf tournaments.

    The year will be d ivided into four x

    three month semesters, with all semesters

    starting and finishing in the same week.

    Semester One will commence in the first

    we ek of January and finish in the lastweek of March. Howeve r, students can

    enter the p rogram a t any time p rovided

    we ca n arrange a suitable group and time.

    The lessons will still be d one in g roup s

    of no more tha n five students, and will

    be of one hour duration each wee k. The

    bulk of the lessons will be done on

    Saturdays and Sundays, with times

    can sched ule the lessons outside these

    times if requested , name ly Monda y to

    Friday if this is mo re suita ble.This junior prog ram is designed to

    tea ch the students the basic skills of g olf

    and then gradually prepare them for

    playing on the golf course. During

    semesters

    two , three

    and four, the

    students will be taken to the golf course,

    so they can get a first-hand experience

    of wha t go lf is all about.

    This prog ram w ill provide a grea t

    TEETALK/GOLF TIPS

    Andrew KayTEETALKwith Andrew Kay

    Drive for Show-Putt for Dough

    This is so t rue. A lot o f people ask

    me, Andrew w hy am I a lousy putter?

    The first thing I ask them is, How oftendo you prac tice your putting? You

    ca n proba bly guess wha t the a nswer is

    going to be. Not very often.

    Considering you are going to use

    this club (putter) on almost every hole

    and most likely about 36 times during

    your round, I think it makes a lot of

    sense to go to the practice green and

    work on your putting. If you are having

    more than 30 putts per round, you

    seriously need to work on your putting.

    Think ab out this-if you are a lousy

    putter you are proba bly not too hot

    with the chipping either. If you can t

    chip the b all c lose, then you put a lot

    of p ressure on yo ur putting.

    OK so if you improve your ball

    striking and hit more greens in regulation

    (par 3 on in one shot, par 4 on in two shots,etc.) then you don t need to p rac tice

    your chipping, only your putting. The reality

    is the a verage go lfer will not hit a lot of

    greens in regulation [GIR]. Even the

    best players in the world average about

    70% GIR per round . That s about 13 GIR

    per round. So w hy are they a ble to chip

    and putt so often and save pars. Because

    they work hard on their short game.

    From my e xperience a s a player

    and as a c oac h, the quickest wa y to

    improve your scoring is to work hard on

    your short game.

    We have 2 putting g reens and 2

    chipp ing greens at Kota Perma i. The

    putting green and chipping green at

    the driving range are floodlit all night so

    you have the op portunity to prac tice .

    Why dont you spend more time

    this month working on your chipping

    and putting a nd see if your scores

    come d own. I think you will be surprisedat the results.

    We also have a three hour short

    ga me lesson pa ckag e a t the Golf

    Aca dem y which I enco urag e

    everyone to take p art in if you are

    serious ab out lowering your scores.

    During the 3 hours we work on all

    aspects of your short game. We will

    also give you a 20% discount on the

    three hour short gam e pac kage , until

    the end of March.

    We a re here to help you improve

    your golf so c ome down a nd see us.

    Even if you just want to ask a question

    ab out your ga me-we a re here to help.

    Recently, I wa s asked b y one o f the lady

    memb er of the club, what happ ens

    when the b all she was playing b reak into

    pieces as a result of a stroke. Is there apena lty and ca n she replac e the b all?

    The last p aragrap h to Rule 5.3

    provides the a nswe r.

    If a ball breaks into pieces as a result of

    a stroke, the stroke is cancelled and the

    player must play a ball, without penalty,

    as near a s possible a t the spot from

    which the original ball was played

    Failure to do so, the player will incur

    two p ena lty strokes in stroke p lay and

    loss of hole in match play.

    A b a ll is unfit fo r play if it is visibly c ut,

    crac ked or out of shape and the p layer

    ca n replac e the ba ll provided he

    ob serves the proper proc ed ures as

    follows:-

    1. If a player has reasons to believe that

    his ball has become unfit for play during

    play o f the hole, he may lift the ball,

    without penalty, to determine whethe r it

    is unfit. Before lifting, the player must

    announce his intention to his oppo nent

    or fellow competitor, marked the ball, liftand examine it, allows his oppo nent or

    fellow competitor to examine the ball,

    observe the lifting and replacement of

    the ball.

    2. The ball must not be c leaned when

    lifted under this rule.

    3. Failure to co mp ly with the p roc edures

    ab ove, the playe r incurs a p enalty of

    one stroke.

    4. If it is de termined tha t the ba ll has

    become unfit for play during play of the

    hole, the p layer may substitute a nother

    ba ll, plac ing it on the spo t where the

    original ba ll lay. Otherwise, the original

    ball must be replaced.

    5. If a player substitutes a ball when not

    pe rmitted and ma kes a stroke a t the

    wrong ly substituted ba ll, he incurs the

    general penalty of Rule 5-3 asmentioned above.

    WELCOME 2009

    and best wishes

    for a ha pp y New

    Year to all fellow

    members and

    staff o f Kota

    Perma i Golf and

    Country Club.

    The c lub

    celeb rated its 10th Anniversary last

    year and it is very heartening to no tethe fantastic suppo rt and attenda nce

    of members at the Gala Night event

    held in Novemb er 2008. In the ten

    years since KPGCC was established,

    the Gala Night was undoubtedly the

    most major event where ALL members

    (golf/soc ial/spo rts) truly meet and had

    a g ood time tog ether.

    There are ma ny wa ys for a c lub to

    ma ke a na me fo r itself and b uild up

    nationa l pride and prestige. The

    options are plentiful, but hosting an

    important event like the Maybank

    Ma laysian Op en in 2008 and other

    major golf events previously certainly

    helps. Now tha t KPGCC is always

    ad mired for its we ll-maintained go lf

    course, ma ybe it is time tha t the c lub

    should now not only co ntinue to

    ma intain but should foc us more on

    further improving the other sports and

    social facilities.

    The beg inning of ea ch New Yea r

    alwa ys come s with new hop es and

    aspirat ions. As we now ente r into anew d ec ad e, let us all, mem bers and

    the mana geme nt, co ntinue to work

    towards achieving the highest

    standards that we all would like to see

    and have as fellow mem bers of Kota

    Perma i Golf and Country Club.

    The new 2009 Sports, Soc ial &

    Recreation Committee will strive to its

    utmo st to ensure tha t KPGCC w ill not

    only ma intain b ut further improve its

    status as a well-respected and

    prestigious club in the country.

    Tha nk You.
