Lunch was taken at the RSC Annex where the food pretty ordinary and the service a little slow. Only 8 attended which was a pity. What the Annex lacks in quality of food it more than makes up for in the price which is always reasonable.
Lunch was taken in Ijok at the usual place and very good it was too. There was plenty of beer drunk for a change and some lively banter, much of it concerning the job our guest Graham has in China where part of his duties involves auditioning girls for the massage parlour of the ski resort he is building. The mind boggles!!! The other topic was a blow by blow account of Alan Holgate’s 6 strokes to get past the ladies tee on the 6th. In addition to the RM50 collected at registration, a further RM10 top up was needed to pay for the lunch and so the mornings golf plus lunch cost us RM60 before paying for the caddy. We shall return next year but I rather fear that with the new road making KK only a 40 minute drive for a lot of KL folk, the price and conjestion may increase.

12 of us went to the usual place in Mantin for lunch where the grub was good, washed down with plenty of cold beer by those of us who still can. Joe Zorich was celebrating his birthday and playing his last game with us this trip before he heads back to Seattle. He had forgotten the Champagne though! Bon voyage Joe. See you next time.
M&M was taken at the club by 11 of the players and very good it was too, if a little slow to arrive for some. Helped along by several jugs of beer there was some lively discussion as to next weeks venue. I proposed Staffield but there were some wingers and the rumour that KLOGS will play there the following week. So what??? Then our annual visit to Kampung Kuantan was suggested which seemed to get the nod but in the cold light of dawn I have changed my mind, (my privilege) and we will do KK later, so it’s Staffield next week.
Golf next Tuesday 5th June 2012 will be at:- KGSAAS Be there by 07:30 LATEST. Names to Mike Smith soonest
Nilai Springs is always a pleasure to play these days as it is easy to get to, is well maintained, has a great playing surface and the M&M is quite good and reasonably priced. But because of all these good things it’s getting increasingly busy and with other golfing venues closing, this trend will continue. While on the subject of closing venues, the latest casualty to join the list is Lembah Beringin. What a shame. An old Cannon: Joe Zorich, (but I suppose playing off 7 he’s not as ‘loose’ as some of us) is visiting paradise these next few weeks and it was a pleasure to have him amongst us on Tuesday. Wecome back Joe. We were 16 till Monday midday when Erol had to drop out……again…but Craig Donald stepped in to bring us back to 16, but this was short lived when George’s alarm function on his mobile failed and so, with him still in bed, 15 LC’s teed it up promptly at 8 o’clock and were all round in good time, the leading flight in a shade under 4 hours. In his defence George has asked me to pass on his apologies to the rest of the players. You are forgiven George. This was the TROPHY GAME for May and the winner was Tony Morris with and outrageous 49 points off the stick plus 2 bonus points for a total of 51. The runner-up with a score that, on most days would have won, was Berhard Romahn with 47 + 2 for a total of 49. The lowest gross was a creditable 80 by Bernhard and the most golf played was 110 by Barry Cousins. Tony is cut 13 strokes and Bernhard the mandatory1 stroke (lucky bugger). M&M was taken at the club where all 15 players were present (see below) and enjoyed good grub and ample liquid refreshment. A small whip round was needed and there was a surplus of RM20 which went into the kitty.
