Report
This was the monthly trophy game for July and we had 3 full flights with one guest. Weather was very good and the course was in great shape although most people complained about the slow greens.  The white tees were not present today so we all played off the blue tees with the exception of Andrew Chez who used the rear black tees.
Shot of the Day goes to Stuart Taylor who was inaugriating his new 56 deg sand wedge and the first time he used it was on the 9th hole where he played the very first virginal shot with this club and hole the ball for a sandy birdie!
We were not unduly held up and were back in the clubhouse around 12pm or after. Mike Smith had decided that given the usual traffic congestion on the way to the usual Seafood restaurant we would head over to East of Highway Restaurant for lunch. It was ironic that Mike missed the SILK turnoff and then spent a full hour to find his way eventually to the restaurant were everyone sees was safe installed partaking of the amber ale.
Thanks to Allan Wright for sponsoring the final batch of extra beers!
Results
The winner today for the July Trophy (and his very first Cannons win) was Allan Wright with 38 points and a gross of 96. Well done Allan. Runner up was Rein Li tan with 37 points and a gross of 90. Bets gross of the day goes to Andrew Chez with an 85. Full results below :

Report

Weather conditions today at Impian Saujana were perfect with beautiful blue skies and sunshine as18 of us headed out on split tee boxes at 8:00am. We had one new player join us this week; Peter May introduced by Jeff Pearce and the return of a veteran player; Allan Wright making it a total of flights (2 x 3 balls and 3 x 4 balls).
Course condition was very good except the greens which had unfortunately been recently hollow tined and sanded and had not been rolled. They were very bumpy, sandy and unpredictable making putting a bit of a lottery.

Henning Therkelsen managed a trick shot today managing to hit his ball into his partners’ buggy, lodging in the front tray …. see photograph below. 

We were finished by 12:30 to 1pm and then 13 of the 18 players had lunch at the very good Ken Well Seafood Restaurant. Unfortunately Hans Berger got lost again and aborted. … next time follow someone as this restaurant is a little tricky to find.

Results

Some very good scores today on this course with 6 players playing better than handicap. We had 3 players on 40 then Robert Mulliss, runner up with an excellent 41 points. However the winner with a magnificent 45 points and gross of 87 was Mike Smith. Well done Mike! He started his round with two blobs so just imagine if he had scored there also! The vasectomy kit will be out and applied to his handicap shortly …. 😉

Henning Therkelsen managed to hit his ball into his partner’s buggy. It was lodged in the front tray of the buggy making it rather impossible to play ….. an unplayable lie was declared for 1 penalty stroke …. bad luck Henning!

Yes again Andrew Cseszko wins the “best attired” golfer award.

Report

This was the biannual challenge between Loose Cannons and LEGS and the ladies hosted this game at their home club of Impian Golf Club. We had a perfect number of 18 a side making a convenient 9 flights for a shot-gun start on holes 10 through 18.

Everyone showed up promptly and we managed to avoid a delay in the registration with the club agreeing for us to pay later which was good. Buggies and caddies were all ready so we all got off to a sharp start at just before 8:30am.

The weather was good albeit a little humid and sticky. The course was in good condition although some of the greens had been scarified making it rather uneven and unpredictable in those areas.

We all got finished by 12:30pm or so and sat down for an arranged lunch at the club before the final results were announced.

Many thanks to all the people who helped organise this match and to all the participants who made this a most successful day out.

Results

The past 3 matches have been very close with two matches drawn and one match won by the ladies ….  making them one up overall to date.

Today the men came good and won 6 games with the ladies winning 3 games …. so a convincing overall win for Loose Cannons – well done to all the Loose Cannons players for a great result.

This means that we are now tied in the overall score to date. Loose Cannons look forward to arranging the next game around April time frame next year and continue the good work that we demonstrated today!

There were prizes for the best Stableford score for the ladies pairs and the mens pairs. Winner for the ladies were Yvonne Gately and Meret Dahl with a best Stableford score of 51 points, and winner for the best men’s pair score went to Stuart Taylor and Barry Cousins with a score of 49 points.

Full results are tabulated below.

Report

We finally had 25 starters with 2 withdrawls. Our venerable leader, Andrew Robinson claiming his illness was nothing to do with yesterday’s lunch and Peter May who was at the hospital with his sick daughter. We welcomed back Geoff Parslow after his “forced sabbatical” in Australia and also welcomed, hopefully a new regular member, Brian Stubbs.

The weather was very good, and the course and bunkers were in good condition. But the greens, were slow, bumpy and the front 9 had been recently tined and treated. Not the usual Impian standard by a long way…. I believe a first for LCs, 7 players scored under 90. 


The winner , with his best round for quite a while, was Ray Funnell with 90 for 45 points. Cut a mere 9. Just beating Stuart Taylor with an excellent 84 for 44 points. Cut 1.

It was also noted that this was Alan Holgate’s 200th game today – well done Alan -you can buy us all drinks next week to celebrate!

Report

Two tee boxes were booked but the club decided not to honour the booking and the last 2 flights, started from the 6th, which also delayed their tee off times. Apart this small problem, everybody had a good day on this excellent course, which was in very good condition and the greens were true but played a little slow.

I had the pleasure of watching the winner, Ted Parslow play his best round of golf for many years. He only missed two greens in regulation, and was 4 under after the first 6 holes. A couple of short putts missed and his last hole the 5 th, par 5, he was still level par, off the tee, but some very bad
luck cost him a shot. His iron from the tee ran off the fairway and he had an unplayable lie, all contributed to a 2 over round , 74 . Sorry Ted you are only cut 15 points. Next week h/cap 2…!! In second place on count back , from Hans, was Kevin Wiggins with 84 for 41 points. Cut only 1.

Many thanks to Hans Berger for the vouchers he very kindly donated today, which in effect, subsidised everybody’s golf and lunch today.

Thank you to all the 16 players who arrived punctually and we teed off on time at 0730 hrs. It is a long time since Cannons played at Impian, and for me personally the first time. 

Very good course, but some of the fairways on the front 9 were a little short of grass, but generally in good condition, with the greens playing well and true. Good weather and good run on the fairways were an indication of the scoring. Only 4 players failed to break the 100. 
One hopes that now Sime Darby own the course that developments will happen to further improve the course.   Also good value, when using the TP books. 

The winner on the day was Iain Wise with gross 95 for 43 points. Cut 7. Iain won on count back from Ray Funnell 94 for 43 points, cut 1 and Andrew Robinson 89, 43 points.  Lowest Gross was Ted Parslow with 86.
