Dreams Come True at Impian
Wan Kamarulzaman Wan Chik, Nordin Amat Dewan, Mohamad Rodzi Sulaiman and Jessie Teng Kim Heng all wore the champion’s crown at the second leg of the 2009 Golf Malaysia Aces of Aces Championship, held at the lush 6,254-metre Impian Golf & Country Club in Kajang, Selangor, on 11 November.
In the A Division (handicaps 0 to 12), Wan Kamarulzaman Wan Chik (6) accumulated 20 Stableford (Modified) points on the Golden Nine and another 19 points on the Negara Nine to dislodge defending champion Michael Lee Thiam Soon (8) by one point.
The elated Wan Kamarulzaman, who walked away with the champion’s trophy, a Nikon Laser Rangefinder worth RM1,588, a treatment voucher at Men’s Skin Centres, a bottle of Black ‘99’ Whisky plus an invite to attend the Extended DISC (Malaysia) workshop, declared: “Everything went well for me today – all my shots were ‘champion’ shots. I’ve been playing for 20 years now, and this is my second time in the Ace of Aces Championship. In my first outing, I was third. I came today with no practice rounds, and just played [the round]. My game was just average, with two birdies. I guess I must have the champion’s luck!”
Lee, although slightly disappointed for failing to defend his title, was satisfied with his game as his game has declined lately. “I didn’t have any practice round before coming to the tournament either, but I still got by with two birdies and a lot of pars. I really enjoyed myself today,” he shared.

In the B Division (handicaps 13 to 18), Nordin Amat Dewan (18) wrestled the crown from Alex CF Kee (15) and Wan Mohd Kamal (19), on countback, when all three carded 37 points.
Nordin, who credited his win to his great tee shots and a good caddie, disclosed: “Although I have won prizes at many amateur events since I started golf in 2003, I have never become the champion. Today I get my first champion win. The feeling is great!”
Meanwhile, the third placed Wan Mohd Kamal thought he played his best golf game ever in this leg of Golf Malaysia Ace of Aces Championship. He confirmed this with gusto: “Although it rained earlier in the morning, my game was solid from start till end. My ball never went haywire at all today – it managed to find the fairways and the greens even from the rough. This is my third time coming in third in the B Division. I am not satisfied until I am number one, so watch out: I’ll be back next year!”

In the C Division category, which was for golfers with a handicap of 19 to 24, Mohamad Rodzi Sulaiman (20) amassed 35 points to beat R Muralitharan Rajagopal (22) and Danial Badderon (20) by one point.
He said: “I’d rate my game today as being usual: I played par golf today but not to my handicap. For the first few holes, I played double because I couldn’t adapt to fast green speed. After that, my game was alright even though not fantastic. But then again, I am so happy to be the champion! This is my fourth outing in Ace of Aces Championship, with my last ‘podium’ finish being second at Kota Permai in 2007.”
Muralitharan, who took second on countback, felt he didn’t play that well. “I am now feeling very excited and very surprised. This is my second Ace of Aces tournament and my second time playing at Impian, and I got second! I’m really happy with this win.”
In the Ladies’ category, Jessie Teng (20) surged to the top when she returned 37 points, two points ahead of her nearest contender Thoo Lee Wah (17) and three points ahead of Ann Tan (13) and Norlida Anis (11).

All participants also had a chance to win FusionExcel products in the FusionExcel Novelty events. Both Hamdan Nordin and the long-hitting Lim Bu Keong were rewarded with a FusionExcel pendant worth RM595 each for their effort on Hole No. 14, which were a distance of 2.9 metres to the bunker and a commanding 253.4-metre drive in the Nearest-to-Bunker and Longest Drive race respectively.
In the FusionExcel Nearest-to-Pin battle on Hole No. 2, Leonard Tan got his golf ball 2.3 metres to the pin to also win a FusionExcel pendant. Not to be outdone, Abdul Malek Husin also grabbed a FusionExcel pendant when he sent his ball to a distance of 3.2 metres to the pin in another Nearest-to-Pin contest on Hole No. 7.

Lui Seng sent his ball six centimetres to the line on Hole No. 5 to win a FusionExcel bracelet worth RM625, while Khuganesh Kerisnan took home a FusionExcel flask worth RM630 for placing his ball 0.73 metres to the pond, also on Hole No. 5.
For participants who did not win in their respective categories and in the Novelty events, several rounds of lucky draws managed to put a big smile on their face, as they had another chance to win other lucrative prizes, including two Stay-and-Play packages for two at the luxurious Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort in Siem Reap, Cambodia, valued at USD540 (about RM1,890).

The quartet of Mohd Fazly Rosli, Tan Boon Him, Rozailan Kamil Mohd Taib and Annie Yew Lee Ling beat a full field of holes-in-one participants to become champions at the first leg of the 2009 Golf Malaysia Ace of Aces Championship on 1 November.
Mohd Fazly Rosli (12) edged out Soon Yaw Keong (11) and K Perumal (8) on countback to emerge champion of the A Division (handicaps 0 to 12). The trio each posted 38 Stableford (modified) points on the 6,154-metre Bukit Kemuning Golf & Country Resort in Kota Kemuning, Selangor.
“I am very happy to win today. I’d like to thank my friend K Perumal for this win, because he was the one who motivated and encouraged me to play well,” said the elated Mohd Fazly, who walked away with the champion’s trophy, a Nikon Laser Rangefinder worth RM1,588, a treatment voucher at Men’s Skin Centres and a bottle of Black ‘99’ Whisky. He also gained a seat to the Extended DISC (Malaysia) workshop.
Soon, who hails from Sabah, flew to Kuala Lumpur just to take part in the Golf Malaysia Ace of Aces Championship. He shared: “There are so many good players today, so I really didn’t expect I’d be the runner-up. When it was announced that I am the runner-up, I was just so happy!”
The fun-filled Golf Malaysia Ace of Aces Championship, which is organised auspiciously on every 1st and 11th November, is open exclusively for golfers who have achieved an ace on Malaysian courses. Between July 1986 and October 2009, there are more than 15,900 holes-in-one recorded at over 207 golf courses in the country and registered with Golf Malaysia Magazine’s Hole-in-One Club, the only known archive for ace achievers in Malaysia.
The first leg of this championship, which is played under the Stableford System 36 (modified) scoring format, took place on 1 November at Bukit Kemuning Golf & Country Resort in Kota Kemuning, Selangor. The second leg will be held at Impian Golf & Country Club in Kajang on 11 November.

Winners of the first leg of the 2009 Golf Malaysia Ace of Aces Championship, held at Bukit Kemuning Golf & Country Resort on 1 November 2009In the B Division (handicaps 13 to 18), Tan Boon Him (16) wrestled the crown from Ariff Mitik when they both carded 37 points. The visibly joyous Tan, who has played in three editions of Golf Malaysia Ace of Aces Championship, said: “Although this is only my second time playing in Bukit Kemuning, I birdied my first hole! I am really happy I won the B Division. As I am from Johor, I made this trip to KL just to play in this championship. I guess my win is well worth the journey!”
Ten other golfers jostled for prizes in the B Division when they each managed 36 points. Upon countback, Mohd Afrizan Husain (16), Dato’ Shamsuar Mahmood (18) and Chan Kam Choon (14) were placed third, fourth and fifth respectively.

“I am happy with my game today, as I used the Nikon Laser Rangefinder [on loan from Nikon Malaysia] during my round. It was very effective! I could see clearly where I should hit to, and I’m getting my own Nikon Laser Rangefinder right after this tournament!” the excited Dato’ Shamsuar revealed.In the C Division category, which was for golfers with a handicap of 19 to 24, Rozailan Kamil Mohd Taib (20) amazed himself when he grabbed the top spot after amassing 37 points.
“I didn’t expect that I’d win today as I didn’t have any practice before coming to this event today. In fact, I just checked out from the hospital two weeks ago after undergoing treatment for my back pain,” shared Rozailan.
Thum Choy Cheen (23), who battled See Joo Hock (19) for the runner-up spot in the C Division after both accumulated 36 points, thought that the putting green at Bukit Kemuning GCR was very fast. “My flight mate, Alex Chuah, and I kept encouraging each other to think positive throughout the round. This paid off, as I am second while he is fifth in the C Division!”
In the Ladies’ category, another countback was needed to break the tie when Annie Yew Lee Ling (21) and Ashvin Kaur A/P Harbaksh Singh (12) both returned 35 points. Upon countback, Yew was awarded the crown.
MS Golf is the official ladies' apparel sponsor for the 2009 Golf Malaysia Ace of Aces Championship.“I am a bit frustrated to get second. Last year I was also the runner-up in this event [held at SSG Beringin Golf Club in Lembah Beringin]. I guess it’s just my luck!” lamented Ashvin.
All participants also had a chance to win FusionExcel pendants worth RM595 each in the Novelty events. Rosdi Haron won the FusionExcel Nearest-to-Bunker prize when he sent his golf ball 2.35 metres to the bunker, while Ong Chee Chang’s powerful 227 metres on the 375-metre Hole No. 4 gave him the FusionExcel Longest Drive honour.
