Golf prodigy in the making

The World Bidayuh Golf Championship has always lived to its label as the one and only major for the Bidayuh golfers in this whole universe. Along with that tag the championship has also created some first and some "duplicates" albeit the result. We have had a fair share of surprises over the years (over the last 7 series i mean) and this has made this event quite colourful in certain aspects. Ofcourse there were the usual "IF", "Kamboi", muscle spasm and what not that could have ultimately decided the result but that's golf. Before i go to the more serious discussion i would like to share the JABRICK pantun with all the readers of this blog. Here goes "Jinak-jinak burung merpati, kalau di pegang terbang lari. Ingat-ingat boleh dapat birdie, silap-silap double boggie". This is a modified version but i have not intended to offend anyone so thousand apologies.

The 7th series of the WBGC has attracted quite a bit of comments and there seems to be an ongoing discussion as to how the many seasoned golfers could not conquer the Unimas course when a 24 handicapper young boy was able to record birdies on the index4 and index 2 holes 2 and 4 respectively, returning a front nine score of 39 gross, back nine 48 and win handsomely with a net score of 9 under-par.

Here's the scorecard for the interested viewer:

Fantastic scores and maybe the 8th WBGC series can uncover new prodigies which is good for the Bidayuh.
