WBGC 2008 RESULTS

OOOOOOOOAAAAHH! EEEEAAHHH!

World Bidayuh Golf Championship tournament which concluded at Damai Golf was a bloodbath for some, a home coming for others and a personal triumph for many.

For me, my moment of victory started before than game began!

Imagine this...if it rains, mother nature is poised to wash away many weeks of preparation, A thousand ringgit of sponsorship money at stake and not to mention utter disappointment of Bidayuh golfers from the world over coming for the tournament.

Putting my fingers crossed, I calmly watched a stream of golfers came and register. As the number swell, my personal triumph to ensure that this year the number of golfers well-exceed the initial projection - that's my moment of victory. Forget about the missed birdie putts, the OBs and the 'many might have been' and even if I shoot few thousand strokes, nothing beats the happy look of Bidayuh golfers on the day, 30 May 2008.

I simply must tell you here that I have other tricks in my sleeves for the day. When in need, we have a 'Dukun' aka James Sinjeng to stop the rain coming our way.

99.9 percent of the golfers knew that the game started at 8.30 sharp and the 1 percent belong to the unfortunate soul who missed the tee-off time. It happened.

As WBGC would have it, the game started in passionate pace, shriek of joy could be heard in every green as fellow Bidayuh slugged it out in a true gawai spirit, so to speak. The game finished according to schedule at 1pm. High tea followed and the flow of joy turned in.

The rain came well after the game ended as though by special instruction by our 'Dukun' to wash away some the dusts and dirts from the greens.

On a personal note, I am very happy that the new WBGC 2008 is Lester Simbas. Congratulations to him, He deserves it.
