EARCOS Annual Golf Tournament 2008 Sutera Harbour, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Runner up trophy during the EARCOS golf tournament at Kota Kinabalu Sutera Harbour Resort was a magnificent site for the Annual EARCOS Administrators’ Conference. It was even more idealic for those who enjoy chasing little golf balls around acres and acres of green fairways lined with great ocean views. The golf course and golf facilities at Sutera are quite splendid and only Mother Nature spoiled the annual tournament with the only bad weather of the conference. A shot gun start ignited the record field of 64 enthusiastic players but the weather took the major prize. After nine holes of wet weather, the club management closed the course and that was the end of the golf. However, that was not the end of the day. Fellowship, good times and stories of great shots continued for hours afterwards. Camaraderie was the biggest winner on this occasion with players commenting that they enjoyed the outing in spite of the weather.

Finally, it should be noted that this was the first time our Executive Director Dick Krajczar played in the event and he came away with a trophy - well done. Also, the only team that submitted a photo was Dick’s Team. – So that is all we have to offer. By the way, the course had lights allowing play to continue at nights, too bad the lights couldn’t keep the rain away. See you next year.
