On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, Tasik PuteriLeave a comment
There was a good turnout for Tasik Puteri this week with 15 starters. Check-in was a slow affair with the computer down and the Doris on duty not being the sharpest pencil in the box…….!
Winner was Tom Holmes with 96 off  the stick for 43 points and cut 7.  Second was Tony Morris with 94 for 37 points and cut 1.  The lowest gross was Andrew Robinson with 89 and the most golf was played by Ian Geekie with 112.  Full details:
1. Tom Holmes – 96/43
2. Tony Morris – 94/37
3. Andrew Robinson – 89/34
4. Sigi – 101/34
5. Mahomed – 95/32
6. Ray Funnel – 101/32
7. Hans Berger – 95/31
8. Klaus Kretschmar – 101/30
9. Alan Holgate – 109/30
10. Kevin Wiggins – 91/28
11. Erol Akinci – 104/27
12. Reinli Tan – 103/26
13. Richard Moss – 110/26
14. Ian Geekie – 112/23
15. Bernhard Romahn – 100/22
Lunch was taken at the Equatorial Restaurant where we celebrated Alan Holgate’s birthday – only 25 more years to go for a telegram from the Queen…..!  Alan generously donated RM100 to the kitty and a bottle of Oban Single Malt Whisky which was soon polished off – once the cork had been extracted!  Reinli kindly donated a bottle of Chivas adn several bottles of wine were in evidence alongside the beer, juices and so on.  Mike made a short address to Birthday Boy and we all stood and sang Happy Birthday, with certain Tony Morris embellishments.  Alan then responded with a very long-winded speech – ‘thankyou!’  There was one bottle of wine and half a bottle of Chivas left over and these have been added to the Cannons cellers for future consumption.

    












The were a couple of instances of late arrivals to mention.   Richard overslept and arrived an hour late at the course so missed the first couple of holes.  And Mohamed circumnavigated Rawang Town a few times on his way to the Equatorial…..  And Mike and Dick, who joined us for lunch, had apparently been shuttling backwards and forwards through tunnels on the way to the Equatorial?  They really should all instal Garfields?

The PINK LADY CHAMPIONSHIP on Friday 29 October has attracted 9 Cannons who have now all paid Reinli. On the day those over 55 will play off the white tees and Tom will play off the back tees!
The XMAS LUNCH is slated for Friday 10 December at the Coliseum and Mike/Andrew will progress matters accordingly.

Loose Cannons Xmas Lunch – 10th December 2010

On By Stuart TaylorIn cafe, Coliseum, Loose Cannons, lunch, restaurant, XmasLeave a comment

The Loose Cannon’s Xmas lunch will be held at the prestigious Coliseum Restaurant on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman on Friday 10th December. Andrew Robinson and Mike Smith will be firming up details for this event but please block this out in your diary …. and while you are at it probably better block out most of the next day!
Please make arrangements for non-self-drive transport that day as there will be in all probability an excess of rehydration materials available for the duration of the luncheon which will no doubt cause post-luncheon drowsiness, slurred speech and a moderate to total inability to use one’s limbs for perambulation.

Next Game – Tasik Puteri – 19th October

Next week we will play TASIK PUTERI and afterwards go to the EQUATORIAL RESTAURANT to celebrate Alan Holgate’s 75th birthday.  For oenophiles, BYO.  Doubtless Alan will dig out some fine bottles from his extensive cellers…..  Please let me know asap if you intend to play and be there by 7.30am latest.

Results – Seri Selangor Golf Club – 12th October 2010 2010

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, Seri SelangorLeave a comment

11 players made it to Seri Selangor for a 7.00am muster.  The course was in good order with excellent greens.  However the rough was very rough and made for much ball searching.  The second flight spent at least 60% of the time looking for Ian’s ball…..he managed to loose 6!  The group welcomed Mohamed for his first Cannons game and Richard Moss who is now back in town after 2 years in Dubai.

The degree of difficulty was reflected in a slew of crappy scores!  Only 2 players breaking 100.  And from bottom the week before to top this week, the winner was Andrew Robinson with gross 90 for 37 points and cut 4.  Coming second in his first Cannons game since returning from Arabia was Richard Moss with 107 gross for 31 points and cut 1.  Andrew and Kevin shared the lowest gross with 90 apiece, whilst Tom played the most golf with 111.  Full details:
1. Andrew Robinson – 90/37
2. Richard Moss – 107/31
3. Ray Funnel – 102/30
4. Ian Geekie – 107/30
5. Tom Holmes – 111/27
6. Kevin Wiggins – 90/25
7. Mahomed – 102/25
8. Hans Berger – 103/24
9. Erol Akinci – 106/24
10. Tony Morris – 108/21
11. Bernhard Romahn – 105/17

Erol took the initiative to book us in to Betty’s Kitchen for lunch, which turned out to be closed for the day for stocktaking!  So it was off to the RSC Kiara Sports Annex, where Mike Smith joined us.  It turned out to be a good thrash with lashings of beer and wine to the fore. Unfortunatel Raymond who was not playing made his way to Betty’s for lunch……..!

The PINK LADY CHAMPIONSHIP is slated for Friday, 29 October, and 8 Cannons have signed up to grace the occasion.
The CANNONS XMAS LUNCH will be on Friday, 10 December, and Andrew + Mike will firm up details nearer the time.

Results – Kinrara Golf Club – 5th October 2010

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

There were 8 of us at a rather quiet Kinrara Golf Club.  The course was in reasonable shape, but rather soggy, and the decision to play ‘Winter Rules’ was a wise one.

Winner with a stunning 83 off the stick and 46 points, cut 10, was Kevin Wiggins.  Second OCB with a gross 88 and 40 points was Hans Berger, and he is cut 1.  Kevins 83 was the lowest gross and Alan enjoyed the most golf with his 107.  And coming LAST FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH CANNONS was ANDREW ROBINSON who played a load of rubbish……..!  Full details follow:

1. Kevin Wiggins – 83/46
2. Hans Berger – 88/40
3. Erol Akinci – 90/40
4. Ian Geekie – 96/37
5. Reinli Tan – 90/35
6. Tony Morris – 91/35
7. Alan Holgate – 107/30
8. Andrew Robinson – 102/24

Post golf sustenance was partaken of at the RSC Kiara Sports Annex, a rather quiet affair – but the more astute stragglers gravitated downstairs to the Pavilion Bar to make absolutely sure that the rehydration process was adequately completed.

And some announcements!!

1.  The PINK LADY CHAMPIONSHIP on Friday 29 October has attracted 8 Cannons entries.  Still to pay are Ray, Raymond and Richard Moss. Still space for one or two more?

2.  The CANNONS CHRISTMAS LUNCH will take place on Friday 10th December at the Coliseum Restaraunt in Jalan TAR, and not the one in Rome….  Make a note in you diaries!

3. The itinerant returns!  Yes, as per an earlier signal, RICHARD MOSS  landed back in Malaya at the KL aerodrome yesterday and we look forward to his Cannons contributions going forward.

4. Next weeks game will be at SERI SELANGOR.  Be there by 7.00am, YES 7.00AM!!!  And let me know if you playing!!  After the game we will follow Erol to ‘Betty’s’ for a slap-up lunch washed down with fine wines to celebrate ALAN HOLGATE’S 75th!!!! and the RETURN OF MOSS!!!!  Oh dear………!

Results – Templar Park Country Club – 21st September 2010

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, templar parkLeave a comment

11 players checked in for this weeks game, Barry having to drop out with a dodgy knee but joining us for lunch.  The course was quiet, in good nick and with excellent weather the game was enjoyed by all. Templer Park always plays long and is a serious challenge – and this was reflected in some cricket scores!
The group welcomed John Laidley for his first game, an affable canadian just arrived with his MM2H visa and playing off 10.
Winner on the day was Raymond Keys with 105 gross for 33 points, cut 4.  Runner-up was John Laidley with 87 gross and 32 points, cut 1.  John’s 87 was the lowest gross and Bernhard and Alan played the most golf with 112 apiece.  Full details below:

1.  Raymond Keys – 105/33
2.  John Laidley – 87/32
3.  Reinli Tan – 95/30
4.  Kevin Wiggins – 96/30
5.  Ian Geekie – 104/29
6.  Hans Berger – 102/28
7.  Tom Holmes – 108/28
8.  Alan Holgate – 112/28
9.  Andrew Robinson – 101/26
10. Klaus Kretschmar – 111/22
11. Bernhard Romahn – 112/13

Lunch was taken at the RSC Kiara Sports Annex by 10 of us, and featured 7 mixed grills ordered and 8 arriving!  So the spare was placed in the centre of the table and soon demolished. This was washed down with several jugs of harimau and 6 bottles of wine!  Carry-over was RM157, following a slightly over-zealous pre-game collection. Bernhard and Ian who both missed lunch will be offered a discount at their next Cannons outing….

Reinli informed us of the upcoming PINK LADY CHAMPIONSHIP on Friday October 29 at Kota Permai, tee-off 13.00 hrs and RM250 per head – and this to include loads of goodies!!  It is hoped that Cannons will be to the fore at this PGA sanctioned event.

And Andrew informed the group of a planned CANNONS CHRISTMAS LUNCH. This to be held mid December at the Coliseum in Jalan TAR – but not on a Tuesday. Date to be fixed asap.

 Andrew Swings!!

Where did it splash??

Carbuncle on the vista

Night Golf is an option!!

Next Tuesday 21 September, we will play at Templer Park Country Club and NOT Perangsang Templer!  Turn left and not right at the T-junction!
 
This is a tad more expensive than many other courses we play and so I will be collecting RM100 for TP and RM150 for non-TP. (We have RM105 carry-over). Post golf sustenance will be taken at the RSC Kiara Sports Annex – its cheap, convivial and near to where most of us reside.
 
Please confirm your participation asap by email to Andrew Robinson and be there by 7.30 am
