The last game of April was held at Staffield with a blue sky but very humid and hot. Three flights started on Western Nine and crossed over to Southern Nine. Course conditions were perfect with dry fairways and nice greens. The winner today was Josef Winter with a magnificent score of 81 for 46 points (his best-ever score), second place was our guest Martin Middleton with a nice 94 for 40 points, and in third place was our birthday boy Hans Berger with 115 for 38 points followed by Jan van Driel and Ted Parslow booth with 37 points. As I mentioned Martin Middleton played his first game with us, and I hope he enjoyed the game and our social entertainment. Today we celebrated Hans Berger and Ted Parslow’s birthday and they sponsored the full bill for our lunch with a big thank you from everyone, and we all looking forward to celebrating again next year and wishing a long life for both of them. Roland Steiner also got his late birthday gift. With today’s results, Josef Winter (second month in a row) is the April champion with a massive 82 points, followed by Jan van Driel with 77, and in third place Ricardo Castro with 74 points. For the LCOTY standings, Ricardo Castro still leading the pack now with 52 points, second place Bernhard Romahn with 46, and in third place is Josef Winter with 44 points. April is close, it was a very competitive month decided only on the last game, well done for our monthly winner and thank you all for your participation and support.

Cheers

Ricardo

Cannon’s,

Two flights started on time on Putera Nine and crossed over to Tasik Nine. The weather was overcast but very humid, and the last two hours were sunny and very hot, feeling like a sauna. Course conditions were ok but Tasik Nine was much more soggy. Nice greens but very fast, costing many extra strokes. Collin Lee played his 3rd game with us and in two more games, he will be a full member. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with a nice 77 for 38 points, followed by Roland Steiner and Jan van Driel booth with 35 points, and in third place was Helmut Dicknoether with 98 for 30 points. With these results and one more game to play this month, Jan van Driel is now leading with 75 points, followed closely by David Cheung and Ricardo Castro booth with 72 points, and in third place two more players Fritz Katzengruber and Josef Winter booth with 70 points, so all open for the last game of the month. We had lunch at the terrace with some ordering problems and quite a slow serving of drinks and food, but we all enjoyed the cool beverages and also the contribution of 300.00 Rm from Roland Steiner for his late birthday, and he will have his birthday gift next week.

Cheers

It was the perfect time to play Kinrara before the rainy season started. Nice layout, difficult tee box shots, playable fairways, and nice renovated greens even slow, costing many strokes to everyone. Three flights started before 8:00 am on hole one and we all finished around noon time. Of the 12 players, six (David, Mike, Fritz, Markus, Bent & Jan) never played Kinrara and I believe they all had a good experience. The winner today was Bernhard Romahn with 83 for 37 points, followed by Iain and David, booth with 36 points, and Ricardo and Josef finished in fourth with 36 points. With these results the monthly competition sees David Cheung in first place with 72 points, followed closely by Josef and Fritz booth with 70 points, and in third place Bernhard with 69 points, so all are open for the last two games.

For this week, we were supposed to play Kinrara, but two days before the game, the management decided to close the club for two days (9 & 10), so with just so short notice, I managed to book four flights to Bangi saving the week. Since this time is a week of celebration, we all want to say Happy Hari Raya to all Muslims, may happiness, harmony, health, and love be present in all your families and closest friends. We played Kajang and Bangi courses and the conditions were nice, most dry fairways, but in some areas, we already noticed some soggy parts, so it was the right time to play Bangi. The greens were nice but very slow, costing many puts to everyone. The winner today was Jan van Driel and he shot a magnificent 95 for 40 points, apparently, his new set of clubs, driver and fairway woods seems working well, second place was David Cheung, Josef Winter, and Bent Serritslev all with 36 points, followed with Hans Berger with 118 for 33 points (the biking attacked again). This is just a reminder, that all the scorecards with proper scoring (groos and stf) must be delivered to me at the restaurant, and if you don’t want to go for lunch pass the card to someone or take a clear picture and send to me, otherwise, you will be disqualified for the game with DNF. This is not a new rule it’s been like this for a long time, so you should know, especially for the guys with more than 10 years as an LC member, so this week this situation happened to Bernhard and Siggy. Ricardo Castro contributed to the bill with 100.00 Rm celebrating his Eagle on Par 5 hole # 5 Kajang course, and Markus Nijmeijer celebrating in advance with us his Birthday with a nice contribution of 300.00 Rm. Thank you to David Cheung for ordering the food and helping me with the billing process. Steve Lakin played his 3rd game and Collin Lee his 2nd game with us, and we all hope to see them again very soon. Lunch was at East of Highway restaurant with a good crowd (14) and we had good food, cool beers, and a great celebration and this is the LC spirit. See you again next week at Kinrara and hope they are in full operation.

Cheers

Ricardo Castro

CANNON’S,

The first game of April was held at A Famosa Golf Course. We all started before 8:00 am first on the Rocky course followed by the Crocodile course, with good weather, great course condition, and very nice greens even though most of them difficult to read the speed. Even with the problem of finding a restaurant with beer, we have to play at least 2 times a year Famosa, which I think is worth it (talking about golf only). The winner today was Fritz Katzengruber with a nice 93 for 38 points, followed by Roland Steiner and another Austrian Siegmund Maierbrugger, booth with 33 points, and in third was Markus Nijmeijer with a reasonable 119 for 32 points. Markus its been improving his hdc week after week, well done. Josef Winter received his deserved prize for the March champion with 76 points. Our birthday Boy Erol Akinci didn’t finish the game, rushing back to KL, so the celebration had to be postponed to the next opportunity. We stayed for lunch at the Club House, with some confusion ordering the food and Iain left for KL to have a cool beer somewhere. Guys we need to enjoy life in a relaxing way, accepting the simple little things, and is not because one time we don’t have beer available that the world going to collapse around us, please just appreciate the moment you are having and how lucky we are to have this life, drive somewhere and play golf. Enjoy these as much as you can these gifts with happiness and friendship, because one day all these moments will be finished for different reasons and then you will regret it, and it will be too late. Thanks

Cheers

Ricardo
