Dear Friends,

It is with sadness that we report the passing of David Hewitt a long serving Loose Cannons member. David lost his fight to cancer on Sunday 17th of May 2026 which he had been gallantly battling for over a year.

David came to Malaysia in 2004 working as a chemist for ICI. During his time based in Kuala Lumpur he was a regular player with Loose Cannons from August 2004 to May 2011 with 88 games on his belt, and also a long Klogs member participating in many local and away games, with the last tour in May 2006 to Bangkok. In 2011 he left Malaysia and returned to Sidney where he had made his home. It was during his play with Loose Cannons that he acquired the name Hastie, as related by Mike Smith, “David had the habit of deciding to walk particularly on the par 5 holes, invariably he would end up in the wrong place and with the wrong club. The consequential delay and slowness whilst this where rectified infuriated his playing partners and prompted our friend the late Barry Cousins to sarcastically nickname him “Hastie”, and the name stuck.

David has been described by many of his golf partners friends as a typical English gentleman. Beneath the surface was a man with a dry and witty sense of humor.

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

Cannon’s,

Good time to play KInrara and we can see all the improvements around the course. The greens were excellent, with playable and dry fairways. The weather was overcast but hot and humid. Josef was on fire winning today’s game with a solid 86 for 39 points, followed by Clive Gordon and Steve Collins booth with a nice 36 points. Lunch at Da Kitchen, unfortunately with only 5 members, but we all enjoyed the tasty food and cool beers. Ricardo got his prize for the May champion. Next week lets try Danau.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

It was nice playing Bkt Jalil again, with very hot weather and a nice blue sky. The course condition were difficult especially the first 9 holes (1-9) with very wet fairways, and uncut grass, making it very difficult to hit the irons Greens were nice but quite fast with tricky pin positions. Following his good form this month, Ricardo won for the third week in the row with a reasonable 81 for 34 points, followed closely by Josef with 95 for 31 points and in third place two players (Iain and Clive) booth with 29 points. Roland (10 cm) and Fritz (25 cm) almost had a hole in one on 13th. With these results, Ricardo are the May champion with a solid 78 points, Bernhard finished in second with 74 points and in third place is Clive with 74 points. May results are closed and for the LCPOTY Bernhard still leading now with 62 points, followed by Siggy and Fritz booth with 44 points and Ricardo with 39 points. Lunch at Da Kitchen with nice food and cool drinks. During lunch Ricardo distributed the 2025 season prizes to Jan, Iain, Roland and on behalve of Diederik & Lukas to Roland. Jan got a gratitude gifts to thank him for his constant support to our society updating our hdc report every single week. See you all next week at Kinrara for the first game in June.

Nine brave Cannon’s drove all the way to the “far far away A Famosa galaxy” to play a nice round of golf. Three flights started before 8:00 am on the Palm nine, crossing over to the famous Crocodile nine, with hot but overcast weather. The course as always was in good condition with nice fairways and very good greens. Frigg Steinmann flew all the away from Switzerland :-)) to play his 3rd game with us. Today’s winner was Ricardo Castro with a solid 78 for 38 points, beating Fritz OCB, and in third place was Bernhard with a nice 87 for 37 points. In the monthly competition, Bernhard and Ricardo now both have 76 points, but Bernhard is in first place due to his better score in game one staying Ricardo in second place, and Clive closely in third place with 74 points, so there’s still a lot to fight for. For lunch and thanks to Mike Smith tip we tried the Han’s restaurant in Alor Gajah (just 6 min away from the club) and no regrets, the food was excellent and very cold beers. Myself, Josef, Bernhard and Marc we extend our trip until Friday in Melaka for a few more games. Next week lets go to Tasik.

Cheers
