Cannon’s,

Finally, we are back to Impian for the last game of the month. The weather was nice, blue sky, shiny with some breeze but not so hot as last week at Tasik. The course is always in good condition with nice fairways and great speedy greens. All three flights started on the tee box one and the first nine were a little slow with some slow flights in front of us, but fortunately, the second nine these 2 flights just disappeared and we had a good pace and finished before 12:30 and a good time to drive to our favorite restaurant on the East side of the highway. The winner today was again Ricardo Castro with a nice 79 for 35 points beating OCT Fritz for 1 point (Last 6 holes), and in third place was Roland Steiner (local member) with a razonable 95 for 33 points. With these results, Ricardo is the February champion (4th time in a row) with 74 points, in second place is Frans Bakker with 73, and in third place Bernhard with 68 points. Fritz Katzengruber had his birthday gift and Markus contributed 50.00 Rm for the lunch (Didn’t pass the lady’s tee), and we all appreciate the donation. Seven of us drove to the restaurant using the new highway and we reached the place in 20 min. Lunch was nice with cool beers and some watermelon juice. Next week we will be in Batam for our away tour and the regular game will be held at Batam Hills to open in style the March competition.

Cheers

Ricardo

Cannon’s,

After more than one year we are back to playing Tasik Puteri. Finally, they decided to start using again the traditional booking system and not using MyGolf2you App, I think they realized they had been losing a lot of guests. Registration is now a pain in the ass because they need to input into the system one by one ID card for Seniors, get a code, print all the cards, and then I can pay, which took me around 20min. Also, the very small number of caddies, not like before, and course conditions are much worse than 3 years ago. I hope they can improve the course maintenance to recover the fairways otherwise, it will get worse and worse, but we did enjoy playing Tasik again. The weather was overcast most of the time with some breeze and only sometimes did the sun say hello, and was very hot for a moment. We welcomed Collin Lee for his first game and presented him with a welcome gift an LC sleeve of balls and we are looking forward to seeing him more times. The winner today was Ricardo Castro playing his hdc with 78 for 36 points, second place was our guest (because as a guest can’t be the winner), Collin Lee with a nice 95 for 37, and in third place was Iain Wise with a reasonable 98 for 34 points. With these results the February competition sees now Ricardo in first place with 74 points, followed closely by Frans Bakker with 73, and Bernhard close the top three with 68 points. Lunch at the club, Fritz contributed 150.00 Rm for the bill, celebrating his birthday in advance with us and he will get his gift next week. Batam trip is just around the corner, but before that, get ready for the last game of February at Impian.

Cheers

Ricardo

Always a pleasure to play Bkt Unggul, or you love it or you hate it. Course conditions were quite dry, nice weather with blue sky and sunny but with a pleasant breeze. All four flights started on hole 10 and we all finished at a normal time for lunch at the clubhouse. The winner today was Helmut with a good 91 for 37 points followed closely by Frans, Roland, Josef, and Hans Benn all with 35 points. With these results February competition Frans is leading with 73 points, in second place Bernhard with 67, and in third place Ricardo with 66, so still a lot to fight for the prize. Welcome back after a long absence, Bipan and Hans Benn and we all hope to see you guys more often. We also wish Frans safe travels and his PRO golf tour trip to Spain and the US.

Cheers

Ricardo

BIPAN LOST ONE BALL 2 WEEKS AGO AND HE MANAGED TO FIND THE BALL TODAY. WHAT A PLAYER!!!

Cannons,

Back to Danau course and as expected, hole 11 near the green and hole 12 very very soggy and muddy, with some of us losing some balls, but overall was in acceptable conditions to play and have fun. We had four flights with a good crowd, flights 1 & 2 started on hole one, and flights 3 & 4 hole 10. We welcomed David Pearce for his third game and expect to see him again in June. Also back in Malaysia were Jan van Driel and Iain Wise after a few months out for different reasons. The winner today was David Cheung, beating OCB Frans Bakker and Ricardo Castro (Lowest gross) with 90 for 38 points, and in third place was Bernhard Romahn with 86 for 36 points. After the game 15 of us joined Chia and Andrew Robinson for our special lunch in a private room. After a fantastic lunch with a few signature dishes (well chosen by Ghia, thank you very much) we started the 2023 season prizes given separated into a few categories as, Most Monthly Victories, Most Weekly Victories, HDC Progress Top 6, Sponsors special gifts and the big one the LC of the year top 24. We also celebrated Tony Morris’s birthday with a nice gift for him and he contributed to our bill with 200.00 RM, and Markus kindly contributed 100.00 RM for his very short tee shot, thank you again for your support. Another two nice moments at this event were a special gift for Jan van Driel (Shirt, Commemorative plate & LC sleeve of balls) for his dedication, professionalism, organization skills as a convener for almost 3 years organizing the games, accounts, and our HDCPs, and the other special moment was for Josef Winter with very nice commemorative shirt, wooden commemorative plate and LC sleeve of balls for his hole in one at Seri Selangor on our 2024 first game, well-done booth of you. Thank you again to all the LC members who played through the year with a good performance and great friendship and of course a special thank you to our great sponsors, especially WL Chia, Siggy, and Pampas.

Cheers

Ricardo Castro
