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

We were supposed to play Bukit Beruntung but ended up at Tasik Puteri instead. I will come back to this later……. 4 flights starting early in the morning without caddies this time, since they had a big tournament going. The weather was great and the course reasonable but not so great. Some greens were really sandy and others quite bumpy. There is room for improvement. We all got around fairly quick and with some good scores as well.

Winner today ocb Hakan with 97/42, followed by Bernard 81/42 and Tony 85/41. 

We also have a monthly medal winner; Hans Berger. Well done with 2 very good games!

And he won something else as well……………. We don’t normally do COTD but this was a special occasion.

As I said before we were supposed to play Bukit Beruntung. Hans called them last Tuesday to make a booking. 3 days later I found out that there was no booking at Bukit Beruntung; grrr…?!! idiots……stupid…👹grrr and more…… On Monday Hans gets a call from Bukit Unggul about a booking the next day…………. Turns out he called the wrong Bukit…….So he earned a sleeve of special balls for this performance. These are the first ones with a LC logo on it supported by our sponsor Siggy. Thanks a lot Siggy!!

Results – Kota Sieramas Golf & Country Club – 18th August 2020

Another beautiful golf day at Kota Seriemas. 12 members made their way to the deep South of KL to play some golf. A little after 8 am we took off. Unfortunately the first 2 flights were positioned behind a group of local clowns who caused a considerable delay most of the morning. The 3rd flight starting at hole 1 was about 30 minutes faster than the other 2 starting from 10. Other than that the course was in very good shape as always and a pleasure to play and also the weather conditions were very pleasant.

We also welcomed back a few of our “lost in lock down” members; Aftab and Josef. Aftab managed to escape Trumpistan but will leave us soon again to continue his life in Istanbul. Josef finally worked his way out of Germany.

Lunch was at East of highway where we also celebrated another milestone; Brian’s 200th game with the Loose Cannons. A generous donation supported the beer bill. Thanks Brian. Erol took the mystery prize for playing most golf.; a sleeve of balls. 

Results

The money today went all the way to Portugal. Let’s hope they spend it wisely; Ricardo winning with 82/38 and also playing lowest gross. Shared 2nd Bernard and Brian both 37 points and Dave continuing his good golf flow with a 3rd place scoring 98/36. See all results below.

The monthly ranking hasn’t changed with Graham and Dave still leading with both 81 points, closely followed by Ricardo and Brian. It’s hot at the top. Decision next week!!

Results – Bukit Unggul Country Club – 11th August 2020

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

3 flights started a little before 8:00 am on their journey through the home of the eagles. Unfortunately we ended up with only 11 players since Paul Geddes’ email server decided to block all golf related messages and thus he was not aware of his expected attendance at the Tuesday game. The course was in good shape and the dark clouds decided to drop their contents somewhere else so we had a dry round.

Lunch after the game was at our regular East of highway; always reliable and they did not let us down. 

Results

Some of our members did extremely well today and Dave’s practising at BU the last weeks paid off big time taking the money today with a 90/45 score. Our senior Swede Mr Berger followed with a very nice score 95/44. 3rd place Graham 92/39. See all scores below. 

The monthly medal so far is a battle between Dave and Graham both 81 points, followed by Ricardo and Siggy both 73 points.

Results – Staffield Country Resort – 4th August 2020

On By Stuart TaylorIn golf, Loose Cannons, StaffieldLeave a comment

12 LC members gathered at Staffield this morning. It’s a good course to play during the wet season and that proved to be right again today. Only downside: the greens were not in great shape. Weather helped a lot to make it a very pleasant round of golf and we all got back around midday. Highlight of the day…………Mike shot a hole in 1 on West number 8 so the F&B bill for the day was more than covered as well as his whiskey and beer stock for the coming months. He had to do some paperwork to secure the ringgits. Well done Mike and an exciting moment.

Surprisingly the mystery prize for today was the 1st hole in one of the day and Mike was rewarded with the beautiful LC’s cap. A welcome back to Graham who also played his 100th game for LC’s today good for some contribution to the kitty that we will spend wisely next week. A LC’s towel was his reward. Thanks Graham!

Results

The July medal was handed out to Martin Belderink as a reward for 2 good games last month. Winner today Graham with a nice 92/42, followed by Mike and Ricardo both 41 and Brian with 40 points. See all results below. 

The July medal was handed out to myself as a reward for 2 good games last month.
