Cannon’s,

It was nice to play Unggul again, with a blue sky and sunny weather. The fairways were in good condition but all the greens were sandy but still ok to put. Three flights started on the 10th and the first nine it was done in less than two hours. All went wrong with an “intelligent” decision from the Starter who decided to put two Jumbo flights in front of us when they should started their first nin on hole 10 as well. Hence, on the back nine, we had to wait for every single shot for these guys to clear the tee box, fairways, and greens, and in some holes especially on par 3 all our three flights were waiting. Definitely wrong management from them, but on the other hand it seems now we are facing more and more jumbo flights than before. Any way is always nice to play at Bkt Unggul and enjoy the place, company, and the moment with some cool beers during the game. Martin Middleton played his 5th game and we presented him with nice gifts (a Flask, an LC sleeve of balls & ball chip markers). Javed Malik played his 4th game with us and we all hope to see him again very soon. Iain and Markus DNF due to arm pain, maybe too much……… the night before. A few complaints about my decision to play from the blue tee when we have been playing from the blues many times before (maybe you guys need to read more of our blog) and you can have a lot of information to update your doubts and lack of information about our society. The winner today was again our Viking with another good round scoring 111 for 41 points, followed by Jan (improving with his new club’s set) with 97 for 37 points, and in third place was Dave playing his hdc with 104 for 36 points. So, two more games to go this month, and all open for the monthly winner.

Cannon’s,

After the weighty rain and thunderstorms the night before we were anxious to see what the course would look like, and, to our pleasant surprise the course was in a good condition. Yes, some wet patches in the fairways, but not too much, and the greens were speedy and in excellent shape. Seri Selangor is preparing itself for a tournament so we took advantage of that.

It was not an easy course, as the scoring showed, but a nice layout and interesting course. The first nine went at lightning speed, and we were already afraid we would be too early at our lunch restaurant. But we got some very slow players at the second nine, which brought us down to normal speed again.

The lunch was at The Beer Factory, where we really enjoyed a lot of beers and some good food. Thanks to generous donations from our two birthday boys, Dave and Martin, we avoided an almost three-figure charge! Dave Evans, and Martin Belderink, congratulations, and many thanks!

As said the scores were not very high: Ricardo had the lowest gross score with 84 and with that, he shared third place with Markus at 30 points. The battle for first and second was between two Dutchies, Frans and Jan, where Frans won it on count back on the last three holes, both with 33 points. Frans, as one Dutchman to another: gefeliciteerd!
As this was the first game in June, the May champion is known, and also where we had a tight race. Jan won from Bent, with the same points, but Jan had one round of 40 points, higher than Bent’s.

Guys, all in all, a great way to spend the morning, next week we will see each other at Bukit Unggul.

Cannon’s,

It was a very humid start this morning. No sun, and the amount of moisture in the air was probably about 100 %. The second nine the sun came out, making it even heavier to play. Erol and Hans decided during the second nine that it was enough and didn’t finish the course. The course was in good condition, we played Alam Shah and Sultan, but the greens were unpredictable and slow. The buggies had to remain on track, so it was a long walk.

We had a delightful lunch at the club, welcoming Jim for his second game and Martin Middleton for his fourth game. Erol decided that he had to celebrate his birthday (two months ago!!), and donated a very generous 400 RM for the lunch.

Today’s scores were reasonable with Bernard and Iain for 31 points, Martin with 34 points, Bent with 37 points, and Jan with his new set of clubs an excellent 40 points. That handicap will have to come down!

With these results, in the May competition, Jan took first place with 75 points beating Bent with the same 75 points, because on the first criterion, Jan’s two best scores, he had the highest score (40 points) so he got the prize, and Ricardo finished in third place with 73 points. For the LCOTY annual competition, Ricardo cemented his first position with 62 points, followed by Bernhard with 54, and in third place is Josef with 50 points.

Next week we will see each other at Seri Selangor

Cheers

Jan/Ricardo
