SEREMBAN INTERNATIONAL GOLF CLUB REPORT-29-05-2025

Cannon’s,

Due to the special traffic restrictions in KL during this week, the game was moved to Thursday to avoid any problems with road and highway blocks, and Seremban International was the choice for our last game of the month. Two full flights started on hole # 10, before 8:00 am with quite dark clouds in front of us, and strong wind, bringing some rain between hole 17 and hole 4, finishing the round with a nice cool weather. We had the honor to play with the club Vice-President Mr. Tengku Nazreen (Reinli’s freind) who help me to organize the game and lunch with VIP service and a big thank you for his hospitality and friendship. It was challenging to play this course from the blue tees, very dry fairways, running quite hard, getting a bounce and ending up a yard off, and in a horrible lie happened a few times, lots of traps specially on the back nine where is easy to find small pounds and water drainage all the way. The greens were difficult to put, due to the pin position and tricky lines, but everyone enjoyed playing this course and for sure, we will be back soon. We also celebrated Marvin Gan his 5th game, and he got a special gift and now he his a full LC member. Mr. Nazreen had 38 points, but following our rules, no win for guest until they became a full member, so Josef Winter was the official winner with 90 for 34 points, second place was Ricardo Castro with 32 points, and in third place was Bernhard Romahn with only 30 points. With these final results, Ricardo is the May champion with a solid 81 points, followed by Bernhard with 69 and in third place, Jan van Driel with 66. For the Player of the Year competition, Ricardo reinforced his first position, now with 76 points, Iain Wise is second with 47, but very close are now Bernhard with 46 and Martin Middleton with 45 points. With almost half year played, we still a lot to play and lets open the June competition at Bkt Kemuning.

Cheers

Ricardo Castro

NILAI SPRINGS REPORT-20-05-2025

Cannon’s,

Two flights started on Mango nine, and cross over to the Island nine, with very hot and humid weather. Some of the fairways the grass was quite burned, maybe to much chemicals, but overall the course played well, with very nice greens, even they were very fast and tricky as usual, costing to many of us extra puts. The winner today was Frans Bakker with an excellent 86 for 41 points, beating Ricardo Castro who played the lowest gross, of 74 for 40 points, and in third place was Martin Middleton with a reasonable 90 for 34 points. For the May competition, Ricardo Castro cemented his first position with a solid 81 points, second is Jan van Driel with 66 and in third place Bernhard Romahn close the podium with 64 points. Steve Collins played his 5th game and became a full Loose Cannons member, well done Steve and welcome to the family. Lunch at the club and Reinli Tan and Steve Collins contributed for the beers bill due to their consistency playing behind the ladies tee, so we are looking forward for the next games for more free beers. See you all next week at Seremban International Golf Club for our last game of the month.

Cheers

BKT JALIL REPORT-13-05-2025

Cannon’s,

After a long absence of 2 years and 4 months, we back to Bkt Jalil with 2 full flights for a nice round of golf. The course was wet but playable and we need a lot of golf management and a good distance reading to get the ball on the green to avoid some plugged balls if played short. Martin Middleton and Frans Bakker played the course for the first time and I hope they enjoyed the round, but when I saw the results, I can feel a lot of frustration in the air. Any way, after they finally dropped the caddies and green fees, we have now one more option to play time to time. The weather was very hot and humid, with a nice blue sky all morning, the fairways even wet they played well, but the greens were quite fast and tricky. The winner today was again Ricardo Castro with an excellent 76 for 38 points, followed by Jan van Driel with 98 for 30 points, and in third place was Martin Middleton with 28 points. With two games to complete the May competition, Ricardo Castro is now leading the pack with a solid 79 points, followed by Jan van Driel with 64 and Tony Morris with 58 points. Lunch again at East of Highway restaurant, with only 5 players + Andrew Robinson who got his birthday gift. We all wish to Iain Wise and all the Kloger’s a great extravaganza trip to South of Chon Buri. See you all next week at Nilai Springs for our usual game.

Cheers
