Results – Rahman Putra – 16th June 2015

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, Rahman PutraLeave a comment
Well after a late change of venue for reasons I shall not dwell on over this email, 12 Loose Cannons made it to Rahman Putra for our weekly Tuesday game. After being promised the Lake 18 for our three flights, upon arrival at the course, all noted that the second 9 of the Lakes course was closed to morning players. 
Registration at this course has had its frustrations in the past but today, it was a virtual breeze. Aside from not being allowed to play the Lakes 9 due to no proof of handicaps under 24, oh, and our seniors receiving no benefit other than those who are also MM2H holders cos they were not Malaysian cits, oh, and the green fees being quite exxy here, and registration taking well over 20 minutes, we were all on the tee by 8.15am.
Tony and his flight finished 3 holes ahead of the next flight due to a couple of walkers somehow managing to ‘cut in front’ of our middle flight. However 6 of us made it to the Heng Hin Seafood Restoran for a pleasantly modest meal (quantity) and a few grogs.
Henning Therkelsen won the day with a very good gross of 84 for 40 points. Well played Henning, or “Henry” as called by Tony. 
A very close second was Iain Wise with a gross of 92 for 39 points and 21 on the back nine. The rest of the field failed to impress with no-one else in the field playing to handicap.

Results – Nilai Springs – 9th June 2015

Four flights finally made it onto the fairways at Nilai Springs GCR today, after a fairly seamless registration but that was where it stopped. There were literally 19 flights which were booked at the same 8.37am tee time. Our late start was further hampered by the late arrival of some of the 8am slots that the Starter allowed to retain their position in the order.
At 9.13am, our first flight got to the 1st tee. Once we were all away off two tee boxes, all four flights managed to finish around the same time albeit late. Lunch was taken at the club due to the late finish. Added to this, Barry Sage was unable to finish his round due to work commitments this afternoon.
Bernard Romahn is on a hot streak with his third win in three weeks, much to the chagrin of a previous convener. Congratulations Bernard on your 81 gross for 42 points and winner on the day. Second was Roger Surieux with 41 points and third was shared betwen Tony Morris and Mike Williams with 37 points apiece.
Lowest gross was Geoff Parslow with 80. Full results attached below.

Results – Tasik Puteri – 2nd June 2015

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, Tasik PuteriLeave a comment
Only 8 Cannons turned up to challenge the various nines of Tasik Puteri, making it very easy at registration and money counting time.
Two flights headed out earlier than our intended 8am tee time and we were not worried by other players/flights whatsoever. We played the Tasik and Putera nines which we all know are vastly different in character and represent a sometimes difficult challenge.
Both flights got around in good time and just beat the siren before the rain came. Had we been caught in that downpour, boats would have been required for passage back to the clubhouse. Lunch was at our usual Restoran “right of the road before the petrol station” and the six of us enjoyed a very good spread and a few amber ales.
Bernard Romahn won the day to make it two weeks on the trot, with a gross of 88 and 36 points. A somewhat distant second was Henning Therkelsen with 32 points and third, Siegmund Maierbrugger with 31. Lowest Gross was shared by Bernard and yours truly. Results attached.

Results – Amverton Cove – 26th May 2015

17 punters mustered at Amverton Cove for the May Monthly Medal in balmy weather and we all got off to a prompt start off 2 tee boxes and we were round in very good time.  

Winner on the day was the Desert Fox, Bernard Romahn, OCB from Henning Therkelson and both with 38 points.  Lowest gross was again Geoff McLaws with 81 and the most gross was shared between Barry Cousins and Andrew Robinson both with 112.  Andrew’s new clubs really making a difference!  And his final score not boosted by 5 putting on one green!  Details below:

Lunch was taken at the regular restaurant over the bridge on the right – and very good it was too when the food eventually arrived!  Although attending the lunch is not compulsory, it is an integral part of the day and all are encouraged to participate.  A tad irking are those indicating they are coming for the lunch and then don’t turn up!  This leads to confusion with table arrangements and ordering.

Report

Only 14 players teed off on time from 2 tee boxes on a sunny, hot and very humid day. The humidity was certainly cleared on the way back with exceptionally heavy rain , all the way back to KL.. !!

The course was in generally good condition, with the greens being fast but a little bumpy. 

9 players eventually made it to the restaurant, after one of the leading cars lost two of the following vehicles….. and an enjoyable lunch was had by all. Andrew kindly bought the beers to celebrate his belated birthday.

Results

The winner was Brian Stubbs with 98 for 36 points. In second place was Robert Mulliss with 103 for 35 points. Lowest gross was Geoff Mclaws with a 83. Well done to all. Surprisingly 8 out of the 14 starters were within 2 stableford points. Full results below:



Results – Loose Cannons vs LEGS – KGSAAS – 5th May 2015

Report

For this Loose Cannons vs LEGS match we had 11 flights (44 players) at KGSAAS. We tee’d off from 5 tee boxes on the Sultan/President combination under hot and humid conditions at around 8:30am. The course was in good shape although the fairways seems a little heavy in places and the greens were on the slow side but did run very true. The first 5 flights had the men (handicaps around 18 or less) teed off the blue tees making this rather long as many of the blue tee  boxes were on the black tee boxes.
It was best ball Stableford points per team added up for the match to decide the results of each individual match – 1 point for a win and a 1/2 point for a draw.
After the game we all had lunch in the Chinese Restaurant at the club which was good and the prizes awarded to the best two teams on each side.
An excellent day out all in all.

Results

Loose Cannons had a convincing win for this match beating the LEGS ladies 7.5 games to 3.5 games. Many of the matches were very close with only 1 point separating the teams. Best winning pairs and runners up are as follows:
Mens Pair Best Score : Barry Sage & Jeff Pearce – 48 points
Mens Pair Runner Up : Mike Smith and Aftab Ahmad – 46 points
Ladies Pair Best Score : Nancy Wingate & Pauling Ngui – 44 points
Ladies Pair Runner Up : Masni Yusoff & Iris Soo – 40 points

Results – Bukit Unggul – 21st April 2015

On By Stuart TaylorIn Bukit Unggul, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

Report
Great turnout today with 24 players (6 full flights) at Bukit Unggul. The course has been worked on over the last few months and the greens are now good again, although unfortunately had just been sanded making it a little bit more unpredictable. The fairways were generally ok although wild boar action was evident on many of their favourite spots. The bunkers however need some serious attention and are still the same as before – ragged around the edges and with drainage problems. Thye have been making some efforts to tidy up the course and there was a fair bit of tree felling ongoing.
Weather was good and by the second 9 became hot and rather humid. We made good time around the course finishing by 12 noon. Lunch was taken at the club with beers sponsored by the club and Ray Funnell – many thanks. We managed a modest 19 jugs.
Results
Erol Akinci was the clear winner today with a magnificent round of 85 to give him 44 points. Runner up was John Laidley with 41 points and the best gross of the day of 77. Of note John actually shot his age today – congrats! Full results below.
