Results – KGSAAS – 28th August 2018
The monthly trophy game this month was held at KGSAAS and although we were booked for an early tee off at 7:30am because of heavy rain we were delayed by about an hour. The first few holes were rainy (so at last I could try out my new rain jacket!) but otherwise the course was in good shape. Soon the sun was out and there were blue skies making for a pleasant morning’s golf and the rain making things a little cooler.
After the game we had lunch and the prize giving ceremony at the clubhouse terrace.
Results
The winner of the August Trophy was Geoff McLaws with a score of 76 (best gross) for 38 points.
Runner up was Tony Morris with 91 for 37 points. Full results below:

Results – Staffield Country Resort – 21st August 2018
We had 5 full flights today at Staffield Country Resort and started the day on the terrace with a presentation to Aftab Ahmad who is leaving shortly to return to California. He was presented with a pewter Royal Selangor plate which I am sure he will use to eat his breakfast from every day from now! Good luck in California Aftab and hope to see you back here for a visit soon. We also took the opportunity to take a group photograph.
We played the Western and Southern nines today and the course was in good shape as usual, somewhat dry therefore resulting in players hitting longer drives than normal. The greens were good so no complaints on the course at all. Weather was very good and although the weather forecast predicted rain mid-morning we manage to miss this luckily.
After the game we had a good lunch and quite a few cold beers on the terrace.
Results
Our winner this week was Andrew Robinson, returning from a long trip in UK with almost no golf, with an excellent score of 92 for 43 points. Runner up was Aftab Ahmad with a score of 90 for 41 points. Geoff McLaws had best gross of the day with his 76. Full results below:

Results – Nilai Springs Golf & Country Club – 14th August 2018
It always seems to take a long time to register and get started at Nilai Springs and today was no exception …. our 8:00am tee-time turned into a 8:20am start with our 4 flights all off of the Pines nine followed by the Mango nine. Weather was hot …. really hot by the time we finished. The course was dry and the greens running quite fast and tricky.
Highlight of my game was getting on to 10-12ft from the pin in two on the Par 5 second hole on Pines ……. putting for an eagle then managed to 3 putt for a par (WTF!)
We all finished by 1:30 pm or so (apart from Geoff McLawws who left after 9 holes to sort out some dog issues!) and took lunch on the terrace.
Results
The winner this week under these difficult conditions was Aftab Ahmad with a score of 94 for 37 points, 2nd place to Ricardo Castro with 87 (best gross) for 33 points. Full results below:

We welcomed back Geoff Parslow to the group who has not played for some time and Paul Geddes’ guest Lewis Marr.
We teed’ off on the Lakes 9 at 8:30am prompt and then finished on the Forest 9. Weather was good and the course was in good condition so it made for a good morning.
After the game 13 of the 16 players took lunch at Pantai Seafood Restaurant throwing back quite a few cold beers in the process.

Results – Impian Golf & Country Club – 3rd July 2018
Sixteen Loose Cannons had signed-up for the game at this very nice course, they all made it in time except for myself as I was hit ~ 20 degree from behind while cruising at a comfortable speed on the triple lane highway. Time for my oldie to visit the body-shop again.
Weather was nice, the course played a bit difficult today as the green were sanded. As many times before the slow walking playing members added to the time consumed, but in general takes more time to play.
Nine assembled at the Crab House for the post game lunch, the food is good but the surroundings is like a mini war-zone area.
Results
So who had his game under control?
– winner was Ted Parslow with 39 points
– second Martin Belderink with 35 points
– shared third Andrew Robinson, Stan Constantinides, Ricardo Castro and Mike Williams with 34 points.
From next week I will be back home hugging my grandchildren and what have you back there so the following volunteers will take over; Paul Geddes will do 10/7, Kaz Takita 17/7, Ted Parslow 24/7, Kevin Wiggins 31/7 and Aftab Ahmad 7/8.
Congratulation to the English and Swedish football teams to their victory and I look forward to see them play each other in the 1/4 final in Samara on Saturday.
Results – Kota Seriemas Golf & Country Club – 26 June 2018
Kota Seriemas were in pretty good nick compare to when we played it last time Feb 26, although some greens still had the hollow tining not completely recovered from. We were the only players at that early hours and the weather were cloudy at first with a little bit of wind until the sun came through, quite nice actually.
No one run away with a high number of points so at the top three it were pretty tight.
Results
– winner Iain Wise with 37 points
– runner up Ted Parslow on count back with 35 points
– shared third Stan Constantinides, Aftab Ahmad and Allan Wright also with 35 points
– lowest gross, who of the single handicappers did the best job this day, Andrew Chez did with 80 strokes
Allan Wright celebrated his birthday with a 200Rm contribution (many thanks and hip hip hurray) to our bill at Restoran Loon Sin and the food were good as usual.
Results – Amverton Cove Golf & Island Resort – 19th June 2018
We had 3 full flights this morning at Amverton Cove and we started promptly at just before 8:00am. The course was in pretty good shape and the weather pleasantly cool. We made good time round the course then retired to the usual restaurant just over the bridge after the game for some much needed refreshments. Food was passable but surprised a Chinese restaurant had run out of chilli!!!
Results
The winner this week was Kaz Takita with a score of 91 for 38 points. Runner up was Geoff McLaws with a 77 (best gross of the day) for 36 points. Full results below:
