Cannon’s

Geoff Parslow sadly passed away in Australia on the 18^th March after a long struggle with cancer and he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Geoff was a Club Professional at Yarra Yarra Golf Club and Tweed Heads Golf Club in Victoria and a Touring Pro playing on the Asian Golf Circuit, the PGA Tour of Australia, and after he turned 50,  the European Seniors Tour. He won the Victoria Open in 1977 from Greg Norman and Johnny Miller and played in the Open Championship at Royal Lythan & St. Annes in 1979 finishing T54 behind the winner Seve Ballesteros.

Geoff was a partner with his brother Ted and Jason Winter in the very successful golf course design company Parslow & Winter Golf Design, responsible for numerous courses in Malaysia and beyond, the most notable being the redesign and redevelopment of TPC Kuala Lumpur.

After his playing career ended Geoff came to live in KL and in 2012 he joined Loose Cannons with Ted and played 324 games with us and joined several of the clubs Away Tours. Geoff brought a new dimension to Loose Cannons games. Geoff had a wicked sense of humor and was always ready to offer some advice to his playing partners, but in an off-the-cuff matey manner that was greatly appreciated.

Geoff will be missed by all who had the privilege to have known him.

3 March 1947 – 18 March 2022

RIP

Today we were on two flights, with 8 players.

The course was nearly fully booked, we had to accept a 20-flight shotgun start with a group of Terengganu government officials.  We were originally supposed to start at 8:15 but were allowed to start half an hour earlier at hole 14.

In the beginning no golfers in front of us. We were able to enjoy our own pace. It only took us 65 minutes to play the first 5 holes.  Then we were facing the government officials in front of us they played extremely slowly.  In total it took us almost 5 hours to finish (ie almost 4 hours for the remaining 13 holes).

Greens were very sandy, slow, and hard/dry, fairways were in good condition. The weather was good, a bit overcast and not too hot. The winner today was our new member Bent Serritslev with a impressive 94 for

46 points followed by Tony Morris with a fantastic 87 (lowest gross) for 40 points, and in third place was

Bipan Kapur with 98 for 37 points. Only Andrew and Iain kept the LC tradition and went to Annex for a

long and refreshing lunch.

FINAL RESULTS TABLE.

Thank you Josef for your help and all of you for making Josef’s life easy with the registration. See you guys next week at Palm Garden. Stay safe.

We had a very wet early morning with persistent rain from the day before but stops before we tee

off around 7:50 am. Most of the fairways were quite soggy turning the course difficult to

play and many times even trying to find a dry spot to place the ball with most of the greens playing

quite fast reflecting on the results for all of us. The winner today was Helmut Dicknoether with a

fantastic :-)) 100/31, sharing second place was Ricardo Castro and Josef Winter with 30 points and in

third place was our new full member Bent Serritslev with 29 points. To celebrate Bent’s membership

he donated 200.00Rm for the beers and next game we will have a small celebration with some gifts

for him. Also for his first game, we welcomed Roland Steiner and hope he can join us every week. It

was reported the incident on hole # 15 par five between Iain Wise and Bernhard Romahn with Iain

shooting a blind shot and instead of finding the fairway he finds Bernhard leg provocating some

discussion between them and we all hope with no bad consequences for Bernhard. This can be a wake

up call for everyone to not stand in front and especially if someone is playing a shot from a blind

spot. After the game seven of us had lunch at East of Highway. Thanks again Bent for your donation.
