Results – Staffield Country Resort – 27th December 2012
Report
On a beautiful morning 17 players, after 2 Cannon withdrawls, including a flight of guests, teed off from 2 boxes, with a prompt start at 0745 hrs. The staff at Staffield was very helpful and the benefit of pre registration certainly helped us with the start, as our buggies had been separated and we teed off before the other flights.
The course was in its usual excellent condition, especially the greens, but some areas, especially around the greens were inevitably a little soggy.
Unfortunately only 15 players completed their rounds, as apparently it was getting too warm. After the recent deluges, personally, good to see the sun shining.
The winner on the day was Jeff Pearce with 95 gross for 41 points – cut 5 . Gordon Wingate got in the frame for the first time with 88 for 40 points – cut 1. Jeff won it on the last hole, as on the last box he was all square with Ray, who inexplicably put 2 drives into the lake….!! Lowest gross was Geoff P. with 82.

Results – Bukit Unggul Golf Resort – 18th December 2012
Report
This was the annual Xmas game with all LC’s required to adorn some festive hats …. traditionally Santa hats or antlers, but this year we saw some new hat styles being used. It was a merry band of 12 festive Loose Cannons golfers who headed out on an initial drizzly morning over the rolling hills of Bukit Unggul. The course condition was very good, albeit slightly wet in places, the weather remained overcast and cool and with no one to hold up play we made good time round the 18 holes and were back in the clubhouse around midday for lunch and beverages.
Ray Funnel kindly arranged for some additional novelty prizes (2 sleeves of golf balls) for two NTP’s on the par-3 holes number 2 and 14, plus a pleasant surprise gift for the runner up.
The winner was Andre Holm with 89 and 42 points. The runner up was Stuart Taylor with 91 and 41 points who received a rather nice bottle of whisky which he kindly opened up during lunch for any takers. Andre is cut 6 and Stuart cut 5.
Lowest gross was Ted Parslow with 87. Most golf was Dick Staufer with 115 who was welcomed back after a long time away from our LC outings.

Results – The Club @Bukit Utama – 11th December, 2012
Report
12 Loose Cannons showed up for this week’s game at The Club @Bukit Utama, a rather tight and challenging 9 hole course. We played the white tees on the front nine holes followed by the blue tees for the second 9 holes.With it being a Public Holiday there were a few other players on the course but we managed an efficient check-in and registration and were off at around 8am. However play was from there onwards rather slow and the round was close to being a 5 hour round had we managed to actually finish. Unfortunately a large thunder storm came in and play was suspended as the last Cannons flight had just completed the 16th hole.
The course was a little wet but the fairways were in pretty good condition – it was only the greens that rather sadly let down the course with many in poor shape. The rough was unforgiving and should your ball have entered any of the trees on either side of most of the fairways … it was gone!
Lunch was taken at the Restoran Supertanker in the club and food was very good washed down with around 15 large bottles of cold beer. Richard Moss who didn’t play joined us for the lunch. It was decided that this game result was scratched, all handicaps to remain unchanged and the winner’s pot to go towards the lunch bill which was a hefty RM900+ figure. Much muttering about the course, the state of the greens, and the slow play etc probably means we will not be playing The Club @Bukit Utama for some time to come.

to be seen…….?
