Name : Mohd Hilmee Abu Kassim aka “Helmi Kapal”
Age : 40++ (incl service tax + govt tax)
Profession : Kapal Selam dan Kapal Laut
Status : Married
KGM Member : Not yet
Home Club (if different from above) : Eastwood Valley GCC
Golf handicap : Seem to be stucked at 36 (NHS says so! And I’m not complaining…)
When did you start golfing ? Officially - Chinese New Year 2010; forced by my demanding Boss a.k.a Ponti Express.
What is your best ever score ? Scored 97 Gross at Sutera Harbour GC....sometime in Oct 2010. They made the course easy for the Japanese and Koreans… so they said.
What is your most memorable golfing incident ? 8th Jan 2011. Chased by a swarm of really pissed off ground hornets at Hole 15 Eastwood. 2 persons from our flight were admitted into the Emergency Ward at Miri GH. Each were stung at least 30 times. We laughed about it now. (Ed: Must have been scared sh**less then.....)
Can share your most disappointing golfing incident ? 27th March 2010. Teed Off in front of huge gallery at a Sribima Invitation event. Hole no. 1. Bintulu Golf Club. 1st hit – missed, 2nd Hit – Skied it and fell to the red tee box. 3rd Hit – right into the valley in front. (I am surprised I continued playing till today). (Ed: The beauty and lure of golf.....;))
The best course that you have played at and why ? Dalit GCC, Kota Kinabalu. Par 3 hole… Beautiful view of Mount Kinabalu as the backdrop and the sea at the side. All the “Kapal Selam” boys play there too. (Ed: I agree, played there and enjoyed the scenery.....the golf was something else though....)
Your favourite hole in KGM and why ? No clear favourite but I think hole 14 is quite memorable for me as it gave me a birdie and a few pars. Hole 15 for the Laksa Sarawak Udang Galah for breakfast with the family and friends.
Your least favourite hole in KGM and why ? Holes 4 and 5. The greens are on volcanoes.
Your dream foursome ? Anyone will do… as long as they don’t give me free coaching and become irritating.
Your golfing ambition, if any ? To win something other than lucky draws.
Your dream golfing destination ? Bali
