This was the November Trophy Game and we had 14 players teeing off at around 8:00am on a beautiful morning. The course was wet making the going even tougher than normal on this course. Greens were good but very tricky on a number of holes making putting in regulation difficult.

This course always seems to play long, and as Paul Geddes found out on the 15th hole it must be noted that distances on all the Par 4’s and Par 5’s are measured to the front of the green so you need to add on the depth of the green to the flag. As expected scores were high and Stableford points low.

After the game we had a lunch at the Tang Dynasty Restaurant. We waited a rather long time for the food and managed to consume about 22 bottles of beer over the course of the lunch making it a fairly expensive one. Thanks to Bernard for his RM50 winnings which went into the lunch pot.

Results

Results – KGSAAS – 17th November 2015

We had 14 Cannons at KGSAAS this morning ….. and one Cannon at Nilai Springs! Just as Allan was starting to register at 7:30am he received a call from Jeff Pearce wondering why no-one was at Nilai Springs …. guess he missed the 2 or 3 e-mails that we all received with the change of venue. He managed to catch up the last flight and join the game by the end of Hole No 3.
After quoting the usual Senior Rate on booking the club also informed Allan that the Senior rate was only applicable on Thursdays and Fridays making it a little bit more expensive.
The course was wet and soggy in many places and like me I’m sure many players had problems with lost, plugged balls in the fairway. I also experience a flight on another hole playing my ball leaving a poxy Titleist in my fairway by means of a fair swap!
The weather was good and actually cleared up by the back ( with beautiful clear blue skies which made a change after the many months of haze.Apart from the wet fairways in many places the greens were quite good and deceptively fast in places. The tee boxes were rather shoddy and in need of attention.

Results – Bukit Kemuning – 10th November 2015

Sixteen players teed off under clear skies and perfect weather conditions, very different from the last time we played this venue when play was abandoned after 5 holes. The course was in poor condition with soggy fairways and uneven and bumpy greens. We all teed off from the first, play was not quick and all the players were back in to the clubhouse by 1-15pm. The scoring was not great, with the exception of today’s winner Peter Kenyon who shot 95 for 41 points, a Stewards Enquiry is still ongoing into this remarkable fete. Runner up and best gross of the day was Geoff McLaws with a score of 81 for 35 points. It was good to welcome guests Carl Wombwell  and Emlyn Jones, who was so overwhelmed that he turned up for play with his shirt inside out, a good sign proving that he already possesses the attributes of a good Loose Cannon. 
Lunch was taken at O & S restaurant where fifteen of us squeezed around one table, very cosy. Many thanks to Barry for booking and ordering the excellent food.
