Always a nice place to play a round of golf, with good weather, and the course in good condition but the buggy track at some points gets damaged and very bumping to go in and out to the fairways. We all played from the blue tees with quite good scores even for the higher handicapers. Markus Nijmeijer played his 5th game and became a full-LC member and got some gifts to celebrate the moment. The winner today was Fritz who beat Ricardo by 1 point, 38 against 37, and in third place was Dave Cheung with a reasonable 34. We stayed at the club for lunch with some cool beers and good food. Next game Bkt Beruntung.

Cheers

Gents,

The plan was to tee off with almost three flights at Amverton, but one after one dropped off leaving us with 7 players for a nice early tee off. As always, the course is beautiful, well-maintained and quiet. Great weather to play, and the only thing we could say is that the greens were very slow, and therefore difficult to read. But we made very good progress and therefore we could have a timely and good lunch at the restaurant Kang Guan next to the bridge.

Markus played his fourth game, which means that next time he will be a full-LC member!

Interesting scores as there was quite a gap between the top two and the rest. Fritz and Jan shared third place with 28 points, and Bernhard ended up second with 35 points. The winner this week was Ricardo who played exactly his handicap and ended up with 36 points!! During the lunch, we also congratulated Jan for being the August month champion.

Next week it will be Bukit Unggul.

Gents,

Only 1 flight this morning at Bukit Kemuning. It was very quiet at the course anyway. We managed to tee off at 7.30 and finished, even after the shower in about 4 hours. 

The course was in good condition, the greens were a bit slow, and the grass was a bit long, but that was the only remark this morning. 

After the game, we stayed at the club for lunch, as the usual restaurant was closed, another one as well, and we were with a small group anyway.

Markus with his 3rd game, finished fourth with 22 points, Jan third with 29 points, and Dave with 32 points had to leave the first place to Bernhard with 33 points. With these results, Jan won the August competition with 77 points beating Ricardo by 1 point, and in third place Roland with a reasonable 70 points. For the annual competition, Ricardo keep chasing Bernhard, now with only 11 points separating the first and second place, followed in third place by Roland with 48 points, and with the last 4 months’ games all still open for the podium.

Next week we’ll play at Amverton Cove.

Always a difficult course to play, The Lakes at Rahman Putra. As the name says, a lot of water on the course. And this time even more than we expected! We started at 9 am because a mistake was made at the club. Only one flight was booked while we were with three full flights!

Anyway, the start was with a grey sky, the drizzle started at hole 4 or so, and a couple of holes later, the skies opened up, and it poured down with rain. We tried to play on, but it really was too much, and a minute later the siren went off meaning that we had to leave the course.

We all played 10 holes, so the scores were made as you see below.

It is a shame, as it is a beautiful course, so it won’t be long before we will be back. Frans Bakker played his 3rd game and Markus Nejmejer his 2nd game.

Next week we’ll play Bukit Kemuning

Today at Kota Seriemas we teed off with 3 full flights, including 4 guests. Frans Bakker and Clive Gordon played their second game for the Loose Cannons and Dave Humphries and Markus Neijmeijer, played for the first time. Welcome guys!! The result was that in this game 4 Dutch players were on the course, and also during lunch!! 

The course was in very good condition, and the weather was pleasant to play, but the greens were very tricky. A bit off and you could find yourself further away from the hole than where you started.

Anyway, the scores were generally good, and that was celebrated during lunch at a restaurant we hadn’t been to before. It was a good choice!

We had 3 players in third place: Fritz, Bernhard, and Dave with 33 points. Ricardo ended up second with the lowest gross score of 80 and 36 points. Jan was first today with 38 points!

During lunch, we welcomed Markus with a sleeve of balls, and we celebrated the July winner David and the winner of the day Jan.

Next week we will play at Rahman Putra.

It was a good time to play the Danau course, following a lack of rain the fairways are very dry, and playable, with good greens but trick pin positions, making some of us lose a few puts. Two flights with 3 balls started at 7:30am before the tournament and the pace of the game was smooth and we all finished before 11:30. Jan with Calf problems (maybe a lot of activity last night…… a hahaha), had to pull out and hope to see him again next week. Ricardo Castro with another 79 was today’s winner followed in second by Bernhard Romahn and Fritz Katzengruber booth with 33 points. With these results, Ricardo is leading the monthly competition with a comfortable 76 points, followed by Roland with 70, and with 3 games to go all can happen. After the game only 3 of us stay for lunch and we decided to stay at the club for a nice cheap meal and good refreshments (not beer). Next week we are playing Kota Seriemas

Cheers

PICTURES OF THE DAY.

Gents,

We played Bangi this morning, with the Kajang nine closed and under repair, we played the Bangi and Putrajaya nine. The Bangi course has changed so much compared to a number of years back. Much fewer trees, and no bunkers at all, which makes the course less interesting to play. It is easier though as they keep the rough very short, fairways relatively wide, and not a lot of water on the course. The course was in very good condition, and it was nice to play. We were not really slowed down by anyone, so we finished well before 12. After a drop-out and an add-on, we teed off with three 3-balls, which also helped in a good speed through the course. The weather was quite nice, not too much sun, and every now and then a breeze.

We enjoyed an excellent lunch in a “new” restaurant in Kajang, advised by Chia. His generous donation kept the costs in line, for which we all thanked Chia!!

The scores reflected the relative ease of the course. The last of the nine was Bernhard with 32 points!

Ricardo played very well with a gross score below 80. Chia, Ricardo, and Hans ended up in shared third place with 38 points. Roland and Jan were fighting for first place with both 39 points, which was won by Jan on countback with 24 points on the back nine.

Next week, we will play at their neighbors, at Danau.

Gents,

As usual, the course was in very good condition. Maybe the first couple of greens were a bit on the slow side, but for the rest no complaints at all. The weather was not that bad today and that caused some good scores! This morning we played Northern and Western courses.

We teed off with two full flights and we made a good time through the course, not too much waiting. It was also good to see that we all turned up for a good lunch at the club.

As said, the scores were good. The lowest gross score was this time for David with 86. The third place was for Hans (!!) with 39 points. A shame that he got some problems with his hand otherwise the winnings would be for him. The first and second places were shared between Fritz and David with each 40 points. David won the 50 RM on countback. He had 23 points in the last nine. With these results, David Cheung is the July champion with 74 points followed by Fritz Katzenbruger with 73, and closing the podium Roland Steiner with 72, so quite competitive until the last hole. For the LCOTY competition, Bernhard Romahn still leading the pack now with 67 points, followed by Ricardo Castro with 50, and in third place is another German, Roland Steiner with 41 points, so a lot to fight until the end of the year.

Next week we will see each other at the Bangi golf course.

Gents,

This morning was a wonderful morning for a game of golf. The course was in good condition, the weather was overcast and every now and then a breeze could be felt. In other words: magnificent. If you would like to make a comment, it is about the greens of the first nine (we played Alam Shah and Sultan). They were variable in speed and therefore difficult to read.

But the scores were good: Ricardo (lowest score of 82) and David shared third place with 34 points, Jan came in second with 35 points and Iain smashed his handicap with 38 points, and again a round below 100!!

We finished the game with lunch at the club, and we will see each other again next week at Staffield.

Gents,

We started with two full flights, in time, and it was warm to start with. Luckily the clouds came up during the second nine. 

The course was in good condition, as usual, and the greens looked faster than they actually were. But no complaints. Some of the bunkers were very difficult to play as it rained heavily the night before. That was also the reason that the buggies were not allowed on the fairways.

Two guests joined us, David Pearce, who played with us before, and Frans Bakker, who played his first game with us and received the welcome sleeve of balls.

The scores showed that it wasn’t easy this morning. Number three, Chia, had 29 points, number 2, Iain, walked away with 32 points and the winner was Roland with 34 points. Roland received the 50 Ringgit as the week’s prize.

Next week, we will be going to KGSAAS.
