Cannons all,

Templer Park has to be one of the best course layouts in the country with a backdrop that is unsurpassed. The only blemish as I have said many times being the hideous house at the base of the Tigers Tooth. With some money spent here this could and should be up there with the best hosting the Malaysian Open again. Bright sun with almost no breeze greeted the 16 Cannons comprising 14 regulars and 2 new faces; Charlie & Bruce. Welcome to Cannons.
 
The course was in good shape but recent heavy rain had left several very soft areas resulting in a few plugged balls. The greens were a bit bumpy having been recently hollow tined but quite fast. Templer is always a challenge and so it proved with nobody playing to their handicap.
 
The winner with 32 points was Ray Funnell with Vincent Vijayan R/U OCB with 31 points. The best gross was 91 from Andrew Robinson and the most golf was played by new boy Charlie. Ray is cut 4 strokes and Vincent 1 stroke.
 
M&M was taken at the Annex where the service is very slow but the food quite good and the beverage affordable.

Results – Staffield Golf Resort – 30th January 2012

Cannons all,
Staffield was in very good condition and with pleasant weather it was a pleasure to be playing there again. It’s still one of the best tracks in my opinion and well worth the extra 10 mins travel time.
We had 15 Cannons and a guest; Mike Low, Ray Funnell’s guest is a member at Staffield and generously donated a voucher for 1 free flight. Thanks Mike. Cannons hope to see you again. We also had a rare visit from Mike Han who played off the wrong handicap. This will be corrected for his next appearance.
This was the Trophy Game for January and some very good scores were returned; 3 players with 40 points. But with the bonus points the winner was Hans Berger with 39 points on the day plus 4 bonus points for a total of 43 points. The R/U ocb with 40 + 1 was Geoff Parslow. The lowest gross of the day was Geoff’s 77 and the most golf was played by Alan.
Hans is cut 4 strokes and Geoff 1 stroke.
The full results and adjusted handicaps can be found in the attachment.
M&M was at the Sheng Gee Restoran in Mantin and very good it too. 12 of us enjoyed the meal and thanks to Mike Low’s donation we had a considerable surplus.
