The last game of October was held at Saujana Impian with eight brave players who make the long trip to Impian. Normally the starting is always very busy but surprisingly was very quiet with only two flights in front of us on hole # 10. The first nine was sunny and hot but quickly changed to quite overcast with some dark clouds but no rain all morning. The course was ok, playable with difficult greens and tricky pin positions which cost extra puts expressed on the final scores without exceptions. The winner today was Iain Wise with an acceptable 100 for 31 points beating Mike Williams on OCB (88/31) followed in third by Bernhard Romahn with 93 for 30 points. OC Tan became a full LC member playing his 5th game. For the monthly competition, Josef couldn’t handle the pressure and Ricardo Castro took the first prize, so with these results, the LCOTY competition saw Ricardo Castro with another 20 points increasing his distance to second place Helmut Dicknoether with 52, and in third is now Iain Wise with 51 points, so 6 players are in contention to fight for the podium. Only four of us had a good lunch at East of Highway restaurant, hope more can join us in the future. Next week, we will be playing the very far Bangi, stay safe.

Cheers

Ricardo

Finally, we decided to play Famosa, and seven of us were happy to make the trip and play a different course, and we should do that at least twice a year. Unfortunately, our LC father Mike Smith couldn’t make the short trip and play with us and we are looking forward to playing with him in December on our away game back to Melaka. We played Palm and Rocky nines, so no crocodiles, and we were all safe. Fairways were in good shape with nice and slow greens, with overcast weather. The winner today was Roland Steiner with a reasonable 93 for 37 points, second was David Cheung with 89 for 36 points and in third place was Josef Winter with 93 for 32 points. With these results for the October competition, Roland and Ricardo are now on the top with 75 points followed closely by Josef Winter with 72 points. After the game, we had lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant arranged by Mike Smith…thanks, Mike. The food was cheap with cool and nice beers. The next game will be at Impian.

Cheers

We had a quite busy early morning with a big group tournament going on, starting with a shotgun and our 3 flights were split into two holes, flights one and two started on hole 13 and flight 3 (4 balls) started on hole 16. Overall organization from the club and starter was not bad mixing the normal flights with the tournament flights which worked quite good, only the problem was in front of flight 1 we had a Jumbo flight with 5 players, which is crazy and understandable due to the busy booking. Anyway, we complained and one of the par three let us go thru and we were able to finish our round in 4 hours but flight two finished close to 5 hours. The course conditions were good but the greens were very fast and some difficult pins positions reflected on the scores with seven of us scoring more than 100. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with his best score ever 76 for 41 points, sharing second place, with three players, Bernhard Romahn, Bent Serritslev, and WL Chia all with 33 points, and in third place two players Roland Steiner and Oc Tan with 28 points. Oc Tan completes his fourth game and one more will be a full member, congrats to Tan. With these results, October competition standings show Ricardo Castro in first place with 75 points, second, Roland Steiner with 66, and in third place WL Chia with 65, so all are open for the last two games. Next week we are playing A Famosa. Stay safe and see you all at Famosa.

Cheers

Ricardo Castro

Cannon’s,

The first game of October was held at Staffield and we play Western and Northern nines. Fairways were in good shape with fast greens and sloppy pins positions. We had 1 caddie per flight and they were very good. Our overseas guest Lukas played his 3rd game and he will be back in November to become a full member. We also had two birthdays to celebrate, Iain Wise and WL Chia who contributed 150.00Rm and 180.00Rm respectively for our lunch and drinks and we all wish them the best and many returns. Today the winner was Josef Winter with an excellent 86 for 40 points, followed in second by another German Roland Steiner with a nice 93 for 38 points and in third place two players, Ricardo Castro (Lowest gross) and Mike Williams with 82 and 85 for 34 points. We all agreed to play for our 3rd game the very very far Famosa course (a different galaxy from Staffield) :-))))).. as I heard the conditions now are very good and also we have good Chinese restaurants options near the club, so let us try a different course from our usual menu. Next week (11-10-22) we will be playing Seri Selangor at KL galaxy, so no excuses. Stay safe.

PS: Happy birthday also to Paul Geddes.

Cheers

Ricardo Castro
