KDE ladies organized a fun game this week called the Zoo Keeper. It was a golf competition with a difference. The objective is not to hit your ball into the bunker, water, OB-marked areas and also not to three-putt. Any golfer hitting these shots would be penalized by being given a card with the picture of an animal (turtle for bunker, fish for water, monkey for OB and donkey for 3-putts). The card then changed hands during the game; and the golfer holding the card with the most animals at the last hole will be a candidate for Zoo Keeper. The number of animals will be tallied to determine who has the most animals and that person would be crowned the Zoo Keeper.
Audi was appointed the Captain in charge of organizing the event and yours truly was one of the volunteers. As funds were limited, the ladies got creative and decided to decorate the Club House with pictures of animals. Audi's other half volunteered to draw the outline of the animals and the ladies then got down to coloring the animals, cutting them out and mounting them on styrofoam boards.
Audi, yours truly and Irene busy coloring and cutting...back to kindy!
Friday morning dawned with a slight drizzle but the ladies arrived in high spirits...all forty-four of them. There was alot of bantering as many took the opportunity to reconnect with friends they had not seen for a while. The Korean ladies came out in full force and we had a group from MALGA. One golfer even flew down from Bangkok to participate!

A good time was had by all. Although it was supposed to be fun, the pressure was unbelievable - especially putting to avoid the 3-putts!! Yours truly did not play well and three-putted the last hole so I got to keep the Donkey card (with 4 donkeys) in my flight - dang!
The next event on the cards will be the Valentine Blind Date game in February 2010....male golfers would pick their lady partners by drawing lots....that should be interesting!
