Cannon’s,

The first game of September was at Bangi. We teed off nice in time (the earlier the better) with three full flights. We played Bangi first and Kajang, both courses in a good shape, also because of the lack of rain. The greens were a bit variable, but good playable.

Weather wise, it was a bit strange. On some holes it was difficult to follow the ball, because of the haze, and other holes were better again.

Anyway, very good scores today, as you would expect on Bangi, a relatively easy course.

We had a very good and copious lunch at East of Highway, very generously paid for by Hans, who celebrated his 6 years after his stroke. Hans, Thanks very much and it is great that you are still strong enough to play with us !!!

We welcomed Markus, who has been away for more than 4 months, and we handed him his prize for last year’s competition.
We also celebrated Reinli’s championship of last month, well done Reinli!!

The scores of today were very good with the lowest score of 30 points, and the highest today, the real champion was Fritz with 39 Stable-ford points, a round of 90 strokes!!

Next week we’ll play Bukit Jalil, for some of us a difficult course, but come on guys, let’s try again…….

Cannon’s,

The last game of August was held at Tasik Puteri with a nice and pleasant weather. Three flights started on time on Tasik nine with quite difficult course conditions with super dry and hard fairways, and speedy greens (9.5). The back nine we played the Puteri course, with better conditions even dry but much better fairways and regular greens but with very difficult pin positions specially on holes # 2, 3, 4 & 9. The winner was Bernhard Romahn with a solid 84 for 38 points, followed by Ricardo Castro with a nice 79 for 35 points and in third place was Josef Winter with 93 for 32 points. With these results Reinli Tan is the monthly champion with a strong 83 points, followed by Steve Collins with 78 and Josef Winter with 75. August games done and for the LCPOTY annual competition, Bernhard still firm leading the pack with 78 points, followed closely by Fritz Katzengruber with 67 and Ricardo Castro with 65. Four months to finish 2026 and all still open with a few candidates to be the 2026 champion. Hans Berger just back to the course after a long 3 months recovery, and we all hope he can finish the year in a very strong note. Lets start September hostilities at Bangi.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

Nice to be back to Staffield to play the third game of the month with sunny and hot weather on the first nine and in a question of minutes the weather changed to black clouds and thunder rumbling not to far from the course, but luckily the storm just went away of us with a very little rain and we finished the round again with blue sky and hot sun. The course was in a good conditions, with dry and hard fairways, with a nice greens, playing quite fast specially on the first nine. Fritz was the winner with an amazing 88 for 43 points, beating Steve by only two points with a solid 41, and in third place was the local magnificent Chinese duo Reinli and Marvin booth with a good 40 points. Actually with these course conditions we had 4 players scoring 40 and above, and all the remaining players the lowest score was a 32 points, so pretty good scores for everyone. We had a nice lunch at the club, celebrating the Josef’s 200 games milestone, and he contributed with 300.00 rm to the bill, and we all appreciated his generosity. With these results Reinli is now leading the monthly competition with a very strong 83 points, followed by Steve with 78 points and Marvin in third with 76 points. Next week lets go to Tasik (24-08-2026) to play the last game of August.

Cheers

Dear Friends,

It is with sadness that I report the passing of David Lake, a good friend and a Loose Cannons KL member.

David joined Loose Cannons on 15th of October 2024 at Kota Seriemas and he played his last game on 22nd of April 2025 at Tasik Puteri with a total of 8 games on his belt. He was also a Klogs member with 3 games played.

David has been described by many of his golf partners friends as a typical English gentleman with a dry and shy accurate sense of humor. He came from Newcastle and was a keen Newcastle United supporter. Even though he played only a few games with us, David left his mark as a truly excellent human being, with a nice character, very kind and always happy.

On behalf of the all Loose Cannons members, our sincere and deeply condolences to his wife, children’s, grandchildren and family. Our prayers to our friend David who will be sadly missed and may he rest in peace.

DAVID AT KINRARA WITH LOOSE CANNONS, PLAYED THE WRONG HOLE, AND WITH A BIG SMILE AND ACCURATE SENSE OF HUMOR, HE MADE THE MOMENT EVEN FUNNIER.

Cannon’s,

Three flights (11 players) started before 8:00 am on hole one with cloudy and very humid weather. We had some rain for about 10 minutes between hole 3 and hole 5, and after that until the end no more rain even very cloudy but dry. The course condition was not so good with very hard fairways with many places without grass and some of the greens were not in a good shape, but overall the course was playable. Hole # 4 has now a new layout with a new green placed on the right side over the water, making this hole much more challenging and very interesting to play. Reinli Tan was the winner with a magnificent 43 points, second was Ricardo Castro with a solid 76 for 38 points, and in third place was Marc Louette and Steve Collins, booth with an easy 37 points. With these results Steve are now leading the monthly competition with 73 points followed very closely by Jan and Ricardo booth with 72 points, and Josef with 71 points. All open for the last 2 games of the month and next week we will be playing Staffield.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

We teed off nice and early at Bukit Beruntung. The first flight was a 3-ball after a cancellation and the other two were full flights. We were all early present, registration was quick, so we teed off some 20 minutes before the agreed time. That was nice as the weather was not sunny, but very humid, and therefore nice that we could play quite quickly and finish around mid day.

The course was, apart from some wet and soggy patches, in a good condition, the greens were nice, and the company was even better.

For lunch we went to Full Moon restaurant where we enjoyed a good lunch and some good drinks.

The third place this morning was for Fritz with 35 points. The second and first place was for Bernhard and Jan with 36 points, but Jan beat Bernhard on a better score on the last nine.

With these results, David Evans is the July champion with 70 points. Well done Dave.

We had three other celebrations: Jan for being the winner of the June competition. He received 50 RM for that. 

Steve celebrated his birthday and Reinli celebrated his 200th game for the Loose Cannons. Both received a box of balls for that occasion.

Thanks to the generous contribution of Steve and Reinli (many thanks!!), we all had a free lunch.

Next week we will play KGSAAS.

Cannon’s,

We teed off early with two flights at Kota Seriemas. Marc overslept and had to miss the first hole…..

Always a very nice and attractive course, and at the same time not easy at all. The weather was very pleasant, the fairways and tees were in a very good condition. The greens were true and fast. Most of them were difficult to read, in particular when the pin was placed at a sloping part of the green.

The one problem with playing here is that they allow many jumbo flights. When we crossed over, we had to wait and wait and wait. The marshall told us that there were 6 (!!) jumbo flights in front of us. On top of that there was a flight with 6 buggies with a teacher, teaching children how to play golf. Although I agree that this is needed, and: one of the crucial rules is to avoid slow play….(Maybe a club to avoid if they still keeping this Jumbo crap policy).

So our second nine took about 1 hour longer than the first. Enough for Iain to pack his bag and go to the restaurant.

Anyway, we had an enjoyable lunch in Nilai, where we missed Roland, but he left a generous amount for celebrating his birthday. Thanks Roland and a very belated Congratulations!!

The scores were good this week with Jan on the third place with 31 points, Fritz second with 33 points and the winner was David Evans with a smashing 37 points!! Well done Dave, for you no difficult greens !

With these results, David Evans is now leading the monthly competition with 70 points, followed by Fritz Katzengruber with 66 and Reinli Tan with 62.

next week we will play Bukit Beruntung.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

It was a great day to play golf at Amverton Cove. The sun didn’t show itself at all, and we even had a couple of spots of rain during the game.

We were with two flights (7 players) and we teed off earlier than planned which was very good. Actually always a strong possibility at Amverton Cove. Normally a very good course to play, however today the greens were not in a very good condition. Variability in quality and speed made it not easy to get good scores today.
And you can see that from the scores: Fritz was the winner today with 33 points, together with David Evans. However Fritz had a better second nine, so he is the official winner of the day. Reinli was third with 31 points. Reinli and David choose to play from the white tees and the rest from blue.

We had a good lunch (a bit spicy this time!) in the trusted restaurant next to the bridge to Carey Island. Fritz wasn’t present so no free lunch today.

Next week we’ll play at Kota seriemas.

Cannon’s,

Six braves Cannon’s played at Seri Selangor with very hot and dry weather. Surprisingly the course was very quite and we were able to start twenty minutes earlier than our schedule tee time and it took less than four hours to finished the round. The course was in neat condition with nice fairways and very well maintained greens even with difficult pin positionS and most of them very fast, reflecting on the scores for everyone increasing the number of puts on every green. Ricardo Castro was the winner, maybe one of the lowest winning scores with only 86 for 29 points, second was Fritz Katzengruber with 102 for 28 points and in third place was Iain Wise and Steve Collins booth with 26 points. After the game five of us had a nice lunch at Beer Factory. Next week lets go to Amverton Cove.
