The first game of May was held at Seri Selangor on a very hot morning and the course was in perfect condition but with very fast greens. We all tee off from hole 10 and it took 4 hours and 30 minutes to finish the round with 2 slow flights in front of our first flight waiting for every hole to tee off. The winner today was Bernhard Romahn with a nice 83 for 37 points, followed in second by David Cheung with a reasonable 91 for 34 points, and in third place was Ricardo Castro with 83 for 33 points. Only 6 of us went to the nearest restaurant Beer Factory for a nice meal and cool beers. The next 5 games, Josef Winter will be organizing the games until the end of May. See you guys in July, stay strong and keep supporting our Society.

Cheers

Ricardo

Cannon’s,

The last Ramadan game was held at Palm Garden, with 3 flights sharp at 8:00am, with the first flight teeing off at hole # 1 and flights two and three at hole # 10 and we all finished around noon time. The course is always in good shape with tricky greens, some of them fast some quite slow, which cost extra stocks to everyone. The winner today was WL Chia with a good 89 for 37 points, followed by our guest Charlie Chow who played his third game with a reasonable 94 for 35 points, and in third place Ricardo Castro and David Cheung booth with 33 points. With these results the monthly champion is WL Chia with 71 points, the same points as Ricardo Castro but Chia won, and followed the first criteria, from the two best games he had the highest score (37), so congratulations to Chia, well done. Joe Huggies (guest of Michael Fenner) played his first game with us, and got a nice LC sleeve of balls, compensating for his loss on hole 12 as a welcome gift and we are looking forward to seeing him again. Hans Berger requested lunch at the club and kindly sponsored 100% of the bill celebrating his birthday with us in advance we had a few jugs of beer and nice food, so Hans once more thank you for your support and offer, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. The next game will be at Seri Selangor.

Cheers

Barry Cousins

3^rd January 1942 – 18^th April 2023

Barry joined Loose Cannons in 2005 and was a regular and enthusiastic playing member with 353 games on his belt until the 4th of September 2015 his last game at Bukit Kemuning when health problems prevented him from continuing. In those early years, Barry lived in Kota Kemuning and was a member of Kota Permai Golf Club and helped us with bookings there at the member’s guest rate. Barry spent many years in Hong Kong where he met his wife Noel. Barry & Noel came to Malaysia under the Silver Hair program…the forerunner of MM2H.

I last spoke to Barry on Friday the 14^th of April before his flight to Switzerland and we had a good chuckle over some of his misadventures which included his TVR catching fire and leaving Tasik Puteri. And the replacement BMW collided with a very large oil palm tree….also leaving Tasik Puteri. Then there was the Malacca away when Barry mistook the instructions of “baggage allowed”.  Apparently, in HK this meant something else!

Barry was a world-renowned Philatelist and author of several books on Irish Stamps. Barry was very active in the British ex-pat community and was always ready to help.

Barry was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago and fought it without complaint but when it became terminal Barry took a pragmatic decision. I salute you Barry Cousins, a man of great courage and pragmatism. Barry will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

RIP Barry Sidney Brian Cousins

The third game of April was held at Tropicana Golf Course, with two flights we tee off at 8:00am at East 2 Nine with nice fairways and fast greens. Back nine we played the West 3 nine also in the same conditions with a good game speed finishing around noontime. Roland beat OCB Iain to claim the first spot with 96 for 33 points and third place went to Siegmund with 98 for 28 points. The final results reflected how difficult is Tropicana, with tricky greens costing extra putts to everyone. Mark Davies played the second game with us. With these results in the monthly competition, Ricardo stays firm in first place with 71 points followed by Roland with 67 and Iain with 63, so still open for the last game at Palm Garden. Lunch was at the club with nice cool beers and reasonable food.

Cheers

It was nice to play again KGPA after a long time because is so hard to get slots in the morning and this time I manage to have three flights with a Ramadam promotion. We played Hills (flights 1 and 2) and flight 3 started Lakes Nine. Hot weather and slow players in front of us but we enjoyed the well-maintained fairways and excellent greens. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with 80 for 36 points, followed by WL Chia, Roland Steiner (Birthday Boy), and Robert Mulliss, all with 34 points. Lunch was at nearby Bar Roca and Roland sponsored our lunch contributing with 200 rm celebrating his birthday we all say thank you and Happy birthday young Roland.

Great morning at Glenmarie playing the Gardens course, with very nice conditions and nice greens even most of them sandy. This was our first Ramadam game and the course was not so busy with only 18 flights but in the back nine we were behind these fantastic players playing from the blue tee playing their third shot only about 200 meters from the tee box, but they keep going proudly playing their happily slow game without care about the 5 flights they were holding behind them. Anyway was a fun game, very hot and we manage to reach the restaurant before 1pm. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with 81/34 points followed by the strong Austrian, Siegmund with 94 for 32 points, and in third position was Helmut with 96 for 31 points. After the game, only 5 of us headed to Pantai Seafood restaurant where we had a nice meal (Ramadam package), ordered by our F&B expert Tony Morris and of course with nice and cool beers. Ricardo received his prize for today’s victory and March champion. Thanks to everyone to keep supporting our society.

Cheers

We back to Tasik Puteri and played Tasik and Puteri courses and the first nine were quite wet and difficult greens to put. We had 2 groups in front of us with quite slow players which makes some of our members quite nervous and complained to some of the players later we saw the Marshall but as usual, nothing happen. Any way overall was a nice morning with great company. The winner today was Iain Wise with a nice 34 points, the second was Tony Morris with 33 points, followed by 3 players with 30 points sharing the third position. With these results the champion of March is Ricardo Castro with 67 points, beating Tony Morris OCB with the hights score from the best 2 games (36). For the LCOTY competition, Bernhard still holds the first position with 40 points, followed closely by Ricardo with 31 and Martin and Montano booth with 20 points are sharing the third position. Birthday Boy David Cheung contributed 120.00Rm for the drinks. Next week will be playing Glenmarie for our first Ramadam game.

Back to the KGSAAS club and we played President and Sultan courses with overcast weather but very humid. Fairways were in good condition and quite slow greens on the first nine but overall good time to play there. The winner today was Michael Fenner-Smith with 36 points beating Ricardo Castro OCB and in third position were Tony Morris and Bent Serritslev booth with 34 points. With these results the LCOTY standings Ricardo is now leading the pack with 67 points followed by Bernhard with 61 and Josef with 60, so all are open for the last game of the month at Tasik Puteri. We had lunch as usual at the club and Bernhard kindly contributed 500 rm celebrating his birthday last week, and for the remaining of the bill, the LC kitty contributed 120.00 rm so happy free lunch to everyone. This month our Loose Cannon’s society is celebrating 19th-year anniversary and to highlight this special moment we decided to do a lucky draw of 2 Pampas vouchers, and the lucky guys were Hans and Montano. See you guys next week at Tasik.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

It was nice to play again at Nilai Springs with good weather wet fairways, slow greens, and difficult pins positions, especially on the first nine (Island). The back nine (Mango) was drier and had better greens not so slow and better reading. We had three flights of Coreans in front of us and the back nine was quite slow to play, but what to do. Helmut was the winner today with 93 to 34 points, followed by Martin Belderink (again), Bernhard, and Josef all with 33 points. Only four of us had lunch at East of Highway and Andrew Robinson joined us for a nice portion of delicious food and cold beers.

It was nice to play again the most hated course in KL for some of our members. The weather was nice and the course conditions were very good. The winner today was Jose Winter with a reasonable 89 for 36 points followed by Martin Belderink (again) with 103 for 29 points and in third place Bernhard Romahn with 91 for 29 points. With these results, Montano Yee is the February winner with a nice 77 points followed by Bernhard with 74. For the LCOTY competition, Bernhard cemented his first position with 34 points, followed by Martin Belderink and Montano Yee with 20 points. We had a good lunch with some delays in serving the food but overall was nice and especially with the member’s price on our bill (thanks to Siggy’s friend). For sure we will be back and play again the Lakes course.

Cheers
