It was nice to play again KGPA after a long time because is so hard to get slots in the morning and this time I manage to have three flights with a Ramadam promotion. We played Hills (flights 1 and 2) and flight 3 started Lakes Nine. Hot weather and slow players in front of us but we enjoyed the well-maintained fairways and excellent greens. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with 80 for 36 points, followed by WL Chia, Roland Steiner (Birthday Boy), and Robert Mulliss, all with 34 points. Lunch was at nearby Bar Roca and Roland sponsored our lunch contributing with 200 rm celebrating his birthday we all say thank you and Happy birthday young Roland.
Great morning at Glenmarie playing the Gardens course, with very nice conditions and nice greens even most of them sandy. This was our first Ramadam game and the course was not so busy with only 18 flights but in the back nine we were behind these fantastic players playing from the blue tee playing their third shot only about 200 meters from the tee box, but they keep going proudly playing their happily slow game without care about the 5 flights they were holding behind them. Anyway was a fun game, very hot and we manage to reach the restaurant before 1pm. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with 81/34 points followed by the strong Austrian, Siegmund with 94 for 32 points, and in third position was Helmut with 96 for 31 points. After the game, only 5 of us headed to Pantai Seafood restaurant where we had a nice meal (Ramadam package), ordered by our F&B expert Tony Morris and of course with nice and cool beers. Ricardo received his prize for today’s victory and March champion. Thanks to everyone to keep supporting our society.
Cheers
Ricardo

WELCOME GIFT FOR MARK DAVIES, FOR HIS FIRST GAME WITH LC.
We back to Tasik Puteri and played Tasik and Puteri courses and the first nine were quite wet and difficult greens to put. We had 2 groups in front of us with quite slow players which makes some of our members quite nervous and complained to some of the players later we saw the Marshall but as usual, nothing happen. Any way overall was a nice morning with great company. The winner today was Iain Wise with a nice 34 points, the second was Tony Morris with 33 points, followed by 3 players with 30 points sharing the third position. With these results the champion of March is Ricardo Castro with 67 points, beating Tony Morris OCB with the hights score from the best 2 games (36). For the LCOTY competition, Bernhard still holds the first position with 40 points, followed closely by Ricardo with 31 and Martin and Montano booth with 20 points are sharing the third position. Birthday Boy David Cheung contributed 120.00Rm for the drinks. Next week will be playing Glenmarie for our first Ramadam game.

Back to the KGSAAS club and we played President and Sultan courses with overcast weather but very humid. Fairways were in good condition and quite slow greens on the first nine but overall good time to play there. The winner today was Michael Fenner-Smith with 36 points beating Ricardo Castro OCB and in third position were Tony Morris and Bent Serritslev booth with 34 points. With these results the LCOTY standings Ricardo is now leading the pack with 67 points followed by Bernhard with 61 and Josef with 60, so all are open for the last game of the month at Tasik Puteri. We had lunch as usual at the club and Bernhard kindly contributed 500 rm celebrating his birthday last week, and for the remaining of the bill, the LC kitty contributed 120.00 rm so happy free lunch to everyone. This month our Loose Cannon’s society is celebrating 19th-year anniversary and to highlight this special moment we decided to do a lucky draw of 2 Pampas vouchers, and the lucky guys were Hans and Montano. See you guys next week at Tasik.
Cheers

It was nice to play again at Nilai Springs with good weather wet fairways, slow greens, and difficult pins positions, especially on the first nine (Island). The back nine (Mango) was drier and had better greens not so slow and better reading. We had three flights of Coreans in front of us and the back nine was quite slow to play, but what to do. Helmut was the winner today with 93 to 34 points, followed by Martin Belderink (again), Bernhard, and Josef all with 33 points. Only four of us had lunch at East of Highway and Andrew Robinson joined us for a nice portion of delicious food and cold beers.

It was nice to play again the most hated course in KL for some of our members. The weather was nice and the course conditions were very good. The winner today was Jose Winter with a reasonable 89 for 36 points followed by Martin Belderink (again) with 103 for 29 points and in third place Bernhard Romahn with 91 for 29 points. With these results, Montano Yee is the February winner with a nice 77 points followed by Bernhard with 74. For the LCOTY competition, Bernhard cemented his first position with 34 points, followed by Martin Belderink and Montano Yee with 20 points. We had a good lunch with some delays in serving the food but overall was nice and especially with the member’s price on our bill (thanks to Siggy’s friend). For sure we will be back and play again the Lakes course.
Thanks to very fast action from Fritz, it was no problem to book three flights at Staffield. We had some problems with Rahman Putra, where a reservation was made, and because of a payment done on (only??) Thursday morning, suddenly the whole course was full……
We teed off at Staffield with three full flights at around 8 am on a beautiful course in excellent condition. From tee to green, we couldn’t have much to complain about. Also, the weather was very good, with hardly any sun, and a nice breeze which kept the temperature down. In spite of the rain the night before, the fairways were dry and it was very rewarding to see the extra meters we got with good drives. In short, a good (second) choice after the problems at Rahman Putra.
And everything reflected in the scores: 4 of us played their handicap or better: Hans was fourth with 36 points, Montano third with 37 points, Hemlut came in second place with 39 points, but Bernhard (again!!) had 40 points with a gross score of 81 and therefore the winner of the day. With these results, Montano is now leading the monthly competition with 77 points, followed closely by Bernhard with 74, and in third place Helmut with 72 points closing the top three.
Bernhard had to come forward a second time because he was also the winner of the month of January 2023. Well done!
We welcomed two new official LC members. Both Montano and Fritz played their fifth game and received the LC cap and a sleeve of balls. For Fritz, it was a very special day as he celebrated his birthday today. Fritz thanks for the contribution!
With a good lunch and a couple of beers, we finished the morning and we’ll see each other back at Rahman Putra next week.

On Valentine’s day, we played Bangi and after not having played the Bangi nine for a couple of years, we played it today together with the Kajang nine. Our expectations were high for the “new” Bangi nine, however, we were a bit disappointed. The quality of tees, fairways, and greens was good, no complaints there, but the course layout was a bit boring. Hardly any trees, no bunkers, wide open fields of grass. Not too exciting.
The Kajang nine is more mature of course, but there, in particular, the greens were very bumpy, sandy, and therefore a bit of a frustration.
But we had a great morning, full of love with three full flights, and Montano took two guests with him, both from Korea, wanting to get out of the winter cold and play in Malaysia.
As usual, we had a great lunch at East of Highway, during which we presented Lee and Jay with a sleeve of balls, and collected from Fritz 50 RM because of not passing the lady’s tees on one of the holes.
Montano and Fritz played their fourth game, so one to go for the Loose Cannons membership.
The one with the most points was Montano with 40 points, which is promising for his future games!! He had a gross score of 80!
The winner today was Michael with 36 points. He won on count back, leaving the two Dutchies, Jan and Martin, also with 36 points behind him. With these results, the February competition sees Martin leading the pack with 72 points followed by Ricardo and Josef with 36 points. A lot to fight for in the last two games of the month.
Next week we have the Hills course at Rahman Putra on the program
Back again to Beruntung and surprisingly the course was in good condition, after all the rain from the last days. Fairways were playable and some of them were quite dry with good greens except the last hole was sandy. With some light rain in the early morning, we had pleasant overcast weather all morning which was quite enjoyable. Josef and Michael had experienced a broken buggy, all of them are in very bad condition and I believe is time for some upgrade. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with an excellent 78 for 37 points, followed very close by Martin Belderink with a good 96 for 36 points, and Josef Winter and Siggy shared the third with 92 and 94 for 32 points. The restaurant Full Moom was closed and we decided to go to Pantai Seafood for a nice lunch with great food and cold beers. Bangi will be our destination next week.
Cheers
Ricardo

It was a truly great golfing day today. The course at Amverton was in great condition, from tees to greens. The weather was very kind to us, as the sun kept us away most of the time and it became only a bit warmer and humid when we were almost finished.
We teed off with four flights, two three balls, and two full flights. We missed Helmut because he got just outside the island with problems with his car and he had to wait almost two hours before his car could get towed away. Helmut, next time better, and maybe you should think about another car…..?
It was good that we were allowed to tee off at hole 1 and hole 2 because it was very busy at the course. One flight took indeed a long time because they were helped up by a jumbo flight on the second nine.
The scores were good today. Four players ended up with 37 points, but Bernhard won OCB (again….) on count back and took the RM 50 back home. Martin, Diederik, and Chia were the others with 37 points. With these results, Bernhard is the January winner with 75 points (the best 3rd score), followed by Diederik also with 75, and in third place Martin with 73.
The lunch was at the restaurant next to the bridge Kang Guan, with good food and drinks. We had a free lunch today thanks to the contribution from Diederik for his birthday and the generous contribution from Chia, because of the Chinese New Year. Many thanks, guys!!
During our lunch, we also celebrated the Loose Cannon Of The Year 2022. This is based on the monthly performances during the year, where points are given for places one to ten. You can all follow this in much more detail on the blog.
We gave prizes to the top 10, and for the others, we had a lucky draw. Number 10 was Roland, good for a sleeve of balls, numbers 9 and 8 (Mike and Bipan) were not present. Josef with number 7 won a pair of socks. Numbers 6 and 5 (Helmut and David Cheung) were not present. Chia with number 4 won a Loose Cannons 2023 cap. Iain, in the 3rd place, won a bottle of wine. Bernhard was number 2 good for 100 RM and the winner overall for last year, and therefore the Loose Cannon Of The Year 2022 was Ricardo!! He received the trophy with his name on it and a special shirt.
After that, we had a lucky draw between Dave, Hans, Jan, Martin, and Diederik, and the winner was Hans with Pampa’s bottle of wine voucher and the lucky boy was Hans Berger.
