By Alex How

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Darussalam Association of Senior Golfers with the smallest contingent of 18 managed to win second place in the Team Nett category of the 22"d Asean Senior Amateur Golf Championship in Kuala Lumpur from July 26-28.

Brunei were represented by Pg Hj Ibrahim Pg Damit, Hj Bagol Hj Momin, Jimmy Voon and Barnabas Chia in the Team Nett category.

Pg Hj Ibrahim also salvaged some pride for BDASG when he won third place in the Overall Individual Open Nett category.

The other Bruneians who were lucky enough to win prizes were Alfred Sim for placing 9th in the Overall Individual Gross, Jimmy Voon for the 9th place in the Overall Individual Nett and Liow Chee Hwa for the 4th place in the 70-75 Age pup.

A total of 256 senior golfers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam took part in the three-day meet where the Senior Golfers Society of Malaysia made a clean sweep of all the top honours.

With the largest contingent of 75 participants, they won the champion trophy for the Individual Open Nett, Individual Open Gross, Team Gross and Team Nett.

The first day of the meet at the internationally renowned Palm Course at Saujana Golf & Country Club in which Tiger Woods played in the World Cup took a great toll on most of the golfers.

The second day at the Glenmarie Golf & Country Club saw better results and a number of Brunei participants had better scorings on the third day when play was resumed at Saujana.

The 23rd championship will be hosted by the Federation of Philippine Amateur Senior Golfers in November next year in Manila. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
