We teed off early at 7.30, at a well-kept course with very fast greens. On some of the greens, the pin position was very difficult to read. One of the greens was recently sanded and so fast that many of us found the ball after the put further away from the hole than it was before. Anyway, it was an enjoyable morning, finished off with good food and a couple of cold beers at the Beer Factory across the road.

The winner this time was Siggy with 35 points, and the voucher was for him. He was followed by David Cheung with 31 and Jan with 29 points. In the July monthly competition, Ricardo Castro is the champion with 77, followed in second by Chia with 69, and Jan ends up in third with 61. With these results, the standings for the year competition Ricardo Castro cemented his first position now with 104 points followed by the due Bipan Kapur and Iain Wise with 48 points respectively and in fourth place Helmut Dicknoether not too far with 40 points.

A special announcement was made for Ricardo, who played his game as a single handicapper, he received a special (soccer)ball for this fact.

Next week, a bit further away, in Amverton Cove.

Today we played KGSAAS in a combination we haven’t done in a long time. We played the Presidents nine and the Alam Shah nine. Two different nines. Both the fairways were in very good condition. The greens of the President’s nine were very slow, very difficult to read, therefore. The second nine greens were much better and faster.

We were held up by rain for maybe 10 minutes or so, but because we could tee off much earlier than booked we finished before 12 and enjoyed lunch with some beers at the club.

Ricardo played an excellent game with 79 for 39 points, with the result that he will be a single handicapper next week! Well done.

Bent was second and Jan and David closed the ranks with 3rd and 4th place.

Next week we will play Seri Selangor

Cheers

Today we had a great day at Rahman Putra. We played The Lakes course, where we could tee off a bit earlier than planned. The course may be challenging, but it is an excellent course to play. The maintenance of the course was perfect, the greens were a bit slow, because of the hollow tining last week. As everyone knows, there is enough water on the course, so plenty of opportunities to lose your golf balls and start with new ones.

At the end of the 18 holes, it appeared that only Ricardo holed out with the ball he started with. So he ended up in a first place with 35 points and won the voucher. Chia was second with 34 points, Jan third and Bent fourth.

We also celebrated Bent’s winner of the March competition, and we handed over the proof of being an official LC member, the bag tag, LC cap, and the sleeve of balls.

Next week we’ll play KGSAAS.

We teed off with two flights at Tasik Puteri. The course was in a reasonable condition with variable greens, which made it quite difficult to read. Anyway, the weather was very favorable to us, a bit of a breeze and the sun came only out at holes 10 – 11.

We played Puteri and Putera and celebrated the two “winners”, Bernhard and Ricardo. On count back, Bernhard was the lucky guy to get the voucher this week.

During lunch at the club, we celebrated three events: first of all, we welcomed Ted Parslow back, after more than two years of staying abroad, and avoided all the difficulties in Malaysia during the Covid time. Because he didn’t forget the LC’s, he received a sleeve of LC balls.
Then we welcomed W. L. Chia as a new Loose Cannons member. He played his fifth game today and received the bag tag, LC cap, and the sleeve of balls.

Lastly a milestone for Bernhard!! His 400th game today and he walked away with MST vouchers as an appreciation of this.

Thanks to his generous contribution we had a free lunch today!

Next week we’ll see each other at the challenging course of Rahman Putra.

Cheers

This week we teed off with three flights, although the last flight was not complete!! Staffield was a very wet course. No roll on the fairways and close to the greens a lot of areas were very soggy. You have to play really on the green because rolling up was not possible today. Also, a number of fairways were damaged by wild boars (I think). Yes, we have seen Staffield in a much better shape.

Anyway, the weather was favorable to us, not too much sun, which made the slow play because of the flight in front of us a bit bearable.

The lunch was enjoyed in the club and there we celebrated Josef Winter who won this week with 89 for 36 points followed by Ricardo Castro (lowest gross) and Hans Benn with 34 points, who shared second place.

With the last June’s game results, Mike Williams and Ricardo Castro finished on the top with the same points (74), but Mike got the silver with the highest score (42) at Bkt Unggul, so well deserved and well done Mike. With these results, the LCOTY standings saw Ricardo Castro increase his first position now with 84 points leaving Bipan Kapur and Iain Wise with a gap of 42 points, and Helmut Dicknoether kept his third place with 40 points. We reached now our half-year competition and still have a lot to fight for the last 6 months.

Next week we will play Tasik Puteri.

Cheers

Jan and Ricardo
