Results – Berjaya Hills, Bukit Tinggi – 25th January, 2011



12 golfers pitched up for the Trophy Game at Berjaya Hills in cool overcast conditions. I say 12 pitched up but 3 of these, 2 of whom were relying on Reinli for a lift, arrived at 8:45; Reinli having gone back to sleep after his early morning call from Tom. So, 2 flights teed off at 08:00 and the 3rd an hour later and got caught in the rain at the last hole. Reinli, you should be publicly pissed on. The course was in good condition but rather wet. Nevertheless it played well and we didn’t play winter rules although we perhaps should have. The traumatic drive to try and make up time and the soaking on the last didn’t however stop Reinli from collecting the Trophy with 38 points plus 1 bonus point for a total of 39. Nor did it stop John Laidley shooting 79 for lowest gross. The runner up was Tony Morris with 35 + 3 and the most golf…just…was played by Raymond.
M&M was taken at the Remember126 Restoran in the village and while the food was just OK the price was very OK. Thanks to Andrew and Richard for finding this place for us. Their sense of duty knows no bounds. We used to use one tooth fatty but the last time we were there the food was rubbish and the price outrageous so Fatty is out and 126 is in.

Commentary
The 13 registered players were joined at the course by Maurice, a guest of
Glenn’s, making 14 players in 2 flights of 4 and 2 of 3. Aftab was a guest of
Hans and has given his signaling details for inclusion in the weekly
circulation. Darren from Norwich was introduced by Tom as a visitor. 5 Premier
vouchers and 1 SSG card were used to reduce the overall cost, for the general
benefit which was much appreciated by all attendant Cannons.

The clement conditions of Bukit Tinggi were found to be very conducive and the
Berjaya Hills course was in tiptop condition. Indeed some Loose Cannons
expressed a desire to return next Tuesday. The first flight of 3 teed off at
0800 precisely and caught up with a Korean 4 ball at the 8th who waited by the
9th tee to wave the 3 ball through. A leisurely round was completed at 1130
with little sign of other golfers, before adjourning to the lounge to await
the other 3 flights. Noon and noon thirty came and went as did a couple of
buckets of tiger. At 1300 the Korean flight appeared at the 18th tee. Shortly
after they finished their round our 3 ball appeared at the 18th tee and
eventually by 1330 Cannons assault of the course had been accomplished. The
Oldest Member made some comments about slow play in his flight.

11 intrepid golfers then adjourned to Kampong Bukit Tinggi to consume 220RM of
makan and 214 of minum, mostly Tiger. There being no pig knuckle available
Pork Ribs, Venison x2, S&S Chicken, Butter Prawns, Yam Basket, Baked Bringel
and Egg Fau yu x3 were served and as the members considered the price
excessive the landlord provided 2 large bottles of Tiger gratis.

With ProTem Convener Twan Andrew returning from Half Term Hols this week we
await his decision on the course for Tuesday Kajang Hills was mooted.

Results – Berjaya Hills G&CC – 16th March 2010

A record turnout of 16 players today at Berjaya Hills G&CC. We teed off at 8am sharp with four groups, play being a bit slow given a few other slow players on the course. However the air was cool with early morning mist and cloud and the scenery very pleasant … some of us admiring the scenery from somewhat different angles on many of the undulating and hilly holes.

The state of the course was variable, the front 9 was ok but many of the holes on the back 9 were not up to par and some of the greens very sandy and full of a patchwork quilt of repairs.

After the game we headed back down the hill for makan/minum at Mr Fatty’s Restaurant in Kampung Bukit Tinggi. It was good to see Richard Moss back in the fold from the Middle East who quickly took up his usual position in the restaurant at the end of a Tiger! He also kindly sponsored the beers today – thank you Richard.

“Tuesday Tosser” Nominations
I will be uploading another “Tuesday Tosser” poll shortly based on today’s events so please make sure you vote. Here are some nominations already mentioned at the post game lunch to give you some ideas:
  1. Ray Funnel for leaving his car partner at the golf club whilst rushing off for his lunch
  2. Raymond Keys for not ensuring that there were no Koreans on the course
  3. Raymond Keys for ordering the rather poor pork knuckles which turned out to be trotters!
  4. Erol Akinci for adding up the scores on the card and being amazed that the front 9 and back 9 were identical for all players as he had looked at the carried over scores from the front 9
  5. Stuart Taylor for failing to video Tony’s fantastic putt on the final green – claimed 40ft …. but I think not! 

…… any others may be considered and as an added bonus/complication I will be setting up the poll so you can vote for more than one person – this should make things very interesting!

Finally a little video compilation of some “Loose Cannons” antics on the course today …. enjoy.

Next Game – Berjaya Hills G&CC – 16th March 2010
