Four flights played the last game of July at the beautiful Bkt Unggul. The weather for the first three hours was warm sunny and blue skies, but an unexpected strong wind brought some dark clouds, but luckily very little rain. The course even dry, played very well, a few sandy greens but overall in excellent condition, with good results for most players. Today’s winner was Fritz Katzengruber with an excellent score of 88 for 42 points, Jim Stevenson followed closely behind with 40 points and in third place was Siegmund Maeibrugger with a solid 90 for 38 points. With these results Reinli Tan is the July Champion (after 15 years) with 77 points, Ricardo Castro, Jan van Driel and Steve Collins followed closely behind with 73 points. For the Player of the year competition, Ricardo Castro remains firmly in first place with 110 points, followed by Bernhard Romahn with 54 and in third place Jan van Driel with 52 points. Lets open in style August games at Tasik Puteri.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

Three flights started on time in two different tee boxes. As always the course was in good condition with tricky and fast greens. At first the weather was cloudy and humid, but after 8 holes it started to rain quite heavily, forcing a short 15-minute break, with play resuming immediately afterwards, now with warmer and more humid weather until the end. Marc Louette played his 5th game, and he became a full Loose Cannon member. Steve Collins, celebrated his first weekly victory with a solid 98 for 39 points, second was the consistent Jan van Driel with 34 points, and in third place Ricardo Castro and Roland Steiner booth with 33 points. With these results, the July competition sees Reinli remain firmly in first place with 77 points, Jan and Steve in second with 73 and Ricardo very close with 72 points, and everything remaining open especially for the first 4 positions. Next week is the last game of July scheduled for Bkt Unggul.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

Three flights started before 8:00am on hole # 10. The first 5 holes the weather was sunny and pleasant, but after that it got very hot and dry till the end of the game, making Reinli consume more beer. Course was in good condition, with nice but difficult greens as always, but its golf. The last 5 holes we were behind a jumbo flight and can you believed, they were 8 players, but luckily they let the first 2 flights pass them and we all finished the round before noon. Any way we complained with the Marshall on this situation but not much to change as we just get some smiles and “so sorry boss” as an answer. The winner today was again Reinli Tan (lots of improvement with the new set of clubs) with a massive 43 points, followed by Ricardo Castro (lowest gross of 73) and Jan van Driel both with a solid 39 points, and in third place Bernhard Romahn with a reasonable 35 points. For the monthly competition Reinli is now the new leader with 77 points, second is Jan with 73 and Ricardo in third place with 72 points. Next week, lets show off our golf skills at Impian.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

We teed off with three flights, one 3-ball and 2 full flights before 8 am at Bukit Beruntung, under a very dark cover of clouds. And yes, the first flight just teed off and had to stay in the buggy for 10 – 15 minutes because of heavy rain. The other two flights found shelter in the driving range.

After the rain stopped, the weather was nice and cool. The rain didn’t have that much effect on the course. The quality of the fairway and greens was really nice. That was reflected in the scores as well (or are we so good…..??)

The first flight was really flying through the course (including Fritz with stomach problems!), and had to wait after the game about 1 hour until the second flight came in. That flight was also reduced to a 3-ball as Reinli was exhausted from the previous evening/night activities. Marc Louette played his third game.

The last couple of holes the sun came out and we finished in real nIce sunny, not too warm weather. The winner today was Frans Bakker with 36 points, second was Martin Belderink with 35 and in third place Jan van Driel and Steve Collins both with 34 points. With these results Jan is now leading the monthly competition with 66 points, followed by Iain Wise with 63 and Josef Winter with 61, so all still open for the last 3 games of July. Lunch was enjoyed in the restaurant Full Moon, where Martin sponsored the lunch because of his 200th game!! Many thanks and well done, Martin.

Next week we’ll play at Danau. See you next week.

Cheers

Jan van Driel

Cannon’s,

What a time to play Royal Kampung Kuantan club, with great course conditions, dry fairways and excellent greens. You can see a lot of upgrading on the buggy station, buggy tracks, looker room and a lot of cleaning around the fairways and greens areas, so for sure they are on the right track improving the course and facilities. Weather was hot, dry, sunny and a nice blue sky all morning. Marc Louette played his second game and for sure more to play. Flights 1 & 2 started on the hole 1 and flight 3 started on hole # 10. Everyone struggled between holes 1 to 9, with the water traps and the result was a lots of balls lost and many penalties. The winner today (after 15 years) was Reinli Tan with a nice 106 for 34 points, second was Ricardo Castro with 79 for 33 and Jan van Driel and Iain Wise shared the third place with 32 points. Ricardo Castro also received his June champion prize. Lunch at Jet Mei Seafood with nice food and cool beers. Next week Bkt Beruntung is the place to be.

Cheers
