Results – Bukit Kemuning – 8th October 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn Bukit Kemuning, Bukit Kemuning Golf Resort, golf, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

imageWe ended up as four full flights after a pull-out and some late sign-ups.

My suggestion tee-off from blue was voted down in favor of white and looking at the scores it was the right one. Registration was nice and fluent as I penned down the date of birth on the form in advance.

The course was as usual with a mixture of mainly hard fairways, however, the greens grass were uneven and hard like a wire brush

Weather was nice when the high moisture was burned away. Perhaps due to the wind direction, the sky was full of very noisy landing airplanes which you could even hear having a shower

Eleven came for the lunch at Restaurant New O&C Seafood and with leftover after registration, we only emptied the wallet by 50Rm

Results

The winner Paul Collet 38 points, followed by Kevin Wiggins 37 and Jan van Driel 35.

Results – Amverton Cove – 1st October 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn Amverton Cove, golf, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

It had been raining overnight so we were not allowed to drive on the fairways and hence it had not been time for raking of the bunkers, so they were a bit hard. We were also a bit unlucky as the greens surface had been machined to minor groves, a bit tricky for putting.Weather was nice and sunny especially later in the round when the sun had burned away the high humidity and we got a breeze.

Two third of the starters joined for the lunch, a nice airy place along the sea with good food and not too expensive. Iain Wise celebrated his birthday with a 200Rm contribution for the lunch, many thanks and Happy Birthday. Rein Le Tan celebrated his return to the Tuesday game by adding 200Rm to the kitty, many thanks and hope to see you more often.

Results

As one assume most of us had some difficulties with the course, despite of that we had two outstanding players;

– Siegmund Maierbrugger won with a better second nine, Ricardo Castro second, both with 38 points, Brian Stubbs third with 33.

Results – Monthly Trophy – Staffield – 24th September 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn golf, Loose Cannons, Staffield, trophyLeave a comment

Staffield CRB is a bit out from Kuala Lumpur but considering the layout and condition it’s worth the trouble.

A bit hazy at first but later in the game we had a breeze blowing the haze away so were actually playing under the blue sky.

Post game lunch at the club, some had to wait a while for the food but that’s how it can be if one order out of the ordinary.

Results

September champion with 46 points, myself actually, that’s was my first monthly trophy win since I took over this task some years ago.

Second Iain with 42 and third Stan with 39 points.

Results – Berjaya Hills – 17th September

On By Stuart TaylorIn Berjaya Hills, Berjaya Hills Golf and Country Club, Berjaya Hills Golf Club, golf, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

It was a nice drive up the mountain side and it became as usual colder and colder, only 18 degrees at arrival.

The air was almost haze free at begin with.

It’s about a year ago since when we played Berjaya Hills, it was in really bad condition then. Yesterdays conditions were similar to how it was before it turned bad i.e. greens not too bad, fairway okay and bunkers hard and uneven if not raked and scenery outstanding. We could also hear the gibbons in the background having their morning conversation, very nice.

Post game lunch at Restaurant 126 down in the valley, food good and beers cold but air hazy like KL. Bernard attended and then we suspected he played well and yes he did, won with 38, Josef second 36, and Erol third with 33 points.

Results – Danau Golf Club – 3rd September 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn Danau, golf, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

A Tuesday which did not go according to plan;

The clubs administration tried to charge us almost 500Rm more than quoted in the first place, after a few phone calls to a manager they eventually honored the quoted price.

The course was in a good nick except for hole 12 and 13 which were soggy all the way from tee to the green. Some greens were hardly put-able if you were in the wrong place from the beginning. I suppose that’s what the pros mean by placing the ball for a possible birdie.

About 12-ish the lightning was building up in the distance but nothing really happen until it released a thunderbolt over us, immediately the siren came on. That was the end of the game and eleven of us went for the lunch at East of Highway.

It was quite a wide spread how many holes was left among the flights so we, or perhaps it was me, decided to have a lucky draw for the winner, Ted Parslow came out us the winner.

This lightning warning system they have does not make sense as the siren came on after the flash. So I went there today to address our concern. Eventually I got hold of a manager and we discussed it and he admitted that their system may not fulfill the needs of a proper warning system. Its is  just a small little yellow box in the reception area.

Tasik Puteri welcomed us for the August trophy game with very good fairways and greens.

We played the Puteri and Tasik nines.

At first a bit cloudy but after a while the sun broke through the clouds and it became a very nice golf day.

It was the first post game lunch at the Chin Hiong new address;12&14, Jalan Pusat BCH

With Hans Berger out with a cold, we only had 14 players today at KGSAAS (or rather SAASGCC) under the careful organisation of Aftab Ahmad. We got off at 7:45am from tee boxes on President and Sultan courses with no holdups to talk about. Course conditions were good and the weather was pleasant. After the game, we had the usual pleasant lunch at the clubhouse.

Results

Our winner today was Ted Parslow with a score of 87 for 37 points, beating Stuart Taylor (84, 37 points) on countback. Best gross was Stuart Taylor with 84. Full results are tabulated below:

Results – Rahman Putra (The Hills) – 13th August 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn golf, Loose Cannons, Rahman PutraLeave a comment

We had only 2 flights today for our game at Rahman Putra. The Lakes course was closed for maintenance so we had to play The Hills alongside many of the walking golfers so it was a delayed start. We eventually got off at 8:35am. Weather was great and the course was in really great shape. It was a rather slow round due to the walking groups but all the same very pleasant. Lunch after the game was at the club where the food is good and the costs are very reasonable.

We welcomed back Hans Berger to the group after his long holiday in Sweden so he will take the helm again after Martin Belderink’s fine efforts over the last 5 weeks or so.

Results

The winner this week was Jan van Driel with a score of 97 for 34 points. Runners up were Martin Belderink and Josef Winter, both on 33 points. Best gross was Stuart Taylor with a 91. Full results below:

Results – Bukit Unggul – 6th August 2019

On By Stuart TaylorIn Bukit Unggul, golf, Loose CannonsLeave a comment
Today’s turn out was probably the lowest ever. After one more drop out we had 4 die hard’s playing one of the most bespoken courses in Malaysia; Bukit Unggul. And although I don’t agree with the ‘haters’ of the course I have to say that today the conditions were not great. There is always some wild boar damage but then you can place. But the greens on the back 9 were in a poor condition. Maybe that’s reflecting in the scores with today’s

Results

Winner Josef 94/34, followed by Bernard 88/33, myself 97/32 and Ricardo 100/18. It would have been an easy win for member Tony being absent because of illness.
Some facts of today: Bernard managed to do a 5 putt on hole 3, Ricardo lost 6 balls and his pride, myself again to many bunkers and OB’s and Josef marched into the lead after only scoring 11 points on the 1st nine.
Lunch after the game was at the club.
