On By Stuart TaylorIn golf, Kota Seriemas, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

With the late entry of Jason Winter, we had 5 full flights for the end of April Trophy Game at Kota Seriemas Golf & Country Club. We had an early tee time of 7:30am and we got off on both 9’s at around 7:45am. Weather conditions were cool and overcast and with a sprinkling of rain during a few holes of our first 9 holes it was very cool and pleasant. The course conditions were good and with very few other players on the course, the first groups were finished at around 11:30am.

Lunch after the game was at our favourite East of Highway Restaurant which never fails to please. We had 3 birthday contributions to the kitty today so big thanks and Happy Birthday to Hans Berger, Ted Parslow, and Roger Surieux.

Results

We had a new winner today – having his first Loose Cannons win and for the April medal was Josef Winter with a score of 91 for 37 points.

Obituary – Ray Funnell

On By Stuart TaylorIn Loose Cannons1 Comment

IMG_2590

It was with sadness and shock that we heard about the death of Ray Funnell yesterday on 26th April 2019 due to a heart attack. Ray (72) was a long-standing and active member of the Loose Cannons golfing group with a total of 476 games over his many years here in Malaysia.

Golf was his passion and his life and he managed the Loose Cannons group as Convenor for a number of years. Ray also participated in other golfing groups in KL including Loose Cannons, KLOGS, and WIGS and was an active participant in many of the charity golf tournaments in KL.

Ray was also an ardent KLOGGER who played with the KLOGS society for nearly 20 years. In these 20 years, he was twice KLOGGER of the year in 2007 and 2014 and also served on the KLOGS committee and attended several aways.

He will be sadly missed and remembered by his golfing friends from all of the golfing groups in Malaysia.

Condolences and our thoughts go out to Ray’s wife Gretta and the rest of his family at this time.

With 4 full flights we teed off on the first hole around 7:40am after the usual lengthy registration process. Weather was good and the course conditions were pretty good overall. Greens a little slow …. good excuse for the missed putts.

We were finished by 12:30pm then had a good lunch at O&S Restaurant closeby.

Results

The winner today with 91 for 41 points was Iain Wise with Bernard Romahn runner up with 83 (Best gross) for 39 points. Full results below:

On By Stuart TaylorIn golf, Loose Cannons, Tasik PuteriLeave a comment

In the end seventeen starters, not an ideal numbers considering flight sizes, but that’s how it is some days.

Registration were done in a blink of an eye so we were off to play Putera and Tasik nines before booked time and as many times before the courses were in good shape.

After four hours plus in the sun it was nice to assemble at the Chin Heong Restoran Rawang for a cold beer and nice food.

Results

– winner Allan Wright with 42 points

– runner up Iain Wise with 40 points who just came back from England

– shared third on 39 points; Brian Stubbs, Andrew Robinson and Jan van Driel

– lowest gross Bernard Romahn, 84 strokes

Results – Impian Golf & Country Club – 9th April 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn golf, Impian, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

An enjoyable Loose Cannons golf day it was at Impian GCC today, weather a bit sticky at first however half-ways we had some cooling breeze. The course was in a good nick despite the heavy downpour yesterday afternoon, some bunkers were wet and soggy, but what to expect.

Yes it took some time, our flight had to wait for putting betting and one flight experienced a local flight having their morning tea break “on the green”

After the game more than half of the players assembled at Crab House Restaurant in Taman Kasturi, the good food were selected by Andrew

Results

Again Ricardo Castro took the prize money with 40 points, he also had the lowest gross with 82 strokes, excellent play Ricardo. He got so excited that he ordered ice-creams for all and two for himself. Shared second were; Mike Williams, Ted Parlslow, Enzo Filoni and Hans Berger with 35 points.

Results – Bukit Kemining – 2nd April 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn Bukit Kemuning, golf, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

Except for the walking members we were almost alone at Bkt Kemuning, both at the registration and on the course but after an hour or two it was quite few a players. .

Second nine was not ready to play so all four flights teed off from hole one. Course in good shape except for the sanded greens which was all of them. Weather a bit sticky at first however later we got a nice breeze, so overall a nice day out.

All except two came for the post game lunch at Restaurant New O&S Seafood, the food was very good as it usually is there, especially with a cold Tiger to it.

Results

Winner as many times before Tony Morris with 43 points, he had the lowest gross as well with 83. Second Allan Wright 38 and Martin Belderink third with 37 points.
