The Loose Cannons gathered this week at the beautiful KGSAAS Golf Club, where 11 players across 3 flights teed off on the Sultan Course, later continuing on to Alam Shah for the second nine. Each flight was accompanied by two caddies, and with the course not too crowded, we enjoyed a relaxed pace throughout the round.

We were especially pleased to welcome Marc Louette, who joined us for his very first game with the group.

The weather was on our side: pleasantly overcast, cool, and with only a brief drizzle of less than 30 minutes. Despite recent rains, the course held up well – not too wet – although the greens on the second nine were noticeably bumpy, adding an extra challenge to our putting game.

It wasn’t the most high-scoring day, but we’ll gladly blame those back-nine greens!

🏆 Josef Winter took first place with only 30 points (gross 90).

🥈 Frans Bakker also scored 30 points but lost narrowly on countback.

🥉 Third place was shared between Roland Steiner and Reinli Tan, both with 29 points.

Unfortunately, Roland couldn’t join us for lunch, but the rest of us headed to the clubhouse where we celebrated with a couple of well-deserved cold beers.

We had two special milestones to honor:

🎉 Erol celebrated his 400th game with Loose Cannons – an impressive achievement! He generously marked the occasion with a donation of 400 RM.

🎂 Dave, who had his birthday in May, was also celebrated and contributed 200 RM to the kitty. A heartfelt thank you to both for your generosity, and congratulations again!

Cheers

Four brave Cannons, traveled to Famosa Golf Resort (“A Galaxy far, far away”), to play the second game of the month in style. Crocodile and Palm course was the choice and no regrets, this two nines were in great condition, with nice fairways and very good greens. Palm nine definitively the best nine of the 3 courses, even long but with nice holes to play and great layout. Weather was cloudy and very pleasant all morning. The winner was Ricardo Castro with a short 82 for 31 points, but enough to beat the German duo Bernhard Romahn and Josef Winter both with 29 points, Martin came last with 28 points. Ricardo had is prize for the May champion and the June competition Ricardo is now leading with 70 points, second is Josef with 65 and in third place Bernhard with 61 points. Besides of our regular LC game, Monday we played Orna and today, myself, Josef and Bernhard we had a nice round at Tiara Melaka and the privilege to have lunch with our LC father, Mike Smith. It was a nice mini tour with good food, new restaurants and great fun, and for sure we will repeat again.

Cannon’s,

The first game of June was held at Bkt Kemuning with 3 flights starting on hole 1 before 8:00 am. The weather was cloudy and cool, due the big storm early morning for 1 hour, with strong wind and heavy rain, but all stop before our game started. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with a solid 74 for 39 points, second was Roland Steiner with a nice 88 for 38 points, and Fritz Katzengruber and Jan van Driel, booth sharing the third place with 37 points. The course was wet but playable, with slow but nice greens. I miss the lunch due my trip to the East coast, but I heard it was nice and everyone enjoyed the food and the cool beers.

Cannon’s,

Due to the special traffic restrictions in KL during this week, the game was moved to Thursday to avoid any problems with road and highway blocks, and Seremban International was the choice for our last game of the month. Two full flights started on hole # 10, before 8:00 am with quite dark clouds in front of us, and strong wind, bringing some rain between hole 17 and hole 4, finishing the round with a nice cool weather. We had the honor to play with the club Vice-President Mr. Tengku Nazreen (Reinli’s freind) who help me to organize the game and lunch with VIP service and a big thank you for his hospitality and friendship. It was challenging to play this course from the blue tees, very dry fairways, running quite hard, getting a bounce and ending up a yard off, and in a horrible lie happened a few times, lots of traps specially on the back nine where is easy to find small pounds and water drainage all the way. The greens were difficult to put, due to the pin position and tricky lines, but everyone enjoyed playing this course and for sure, we will be back soon. We also celebrated Marvin Gan his 5th game, and he got a special gift and now he his a full LC member. Mr. Nazreen had 38 points, but following our rules, no win for guest until they became a full member, so Josef Winter was the official winner with 90 for 34 points, second place was Ricardo Castro with 32 points, and in third place was Bernhard Romahn with only 30 points. With these final results, Ricardo is the May champion with a solid 81 points, followed by Bernhard with 69 and in third place, Jan van Driel with 66. For the Player of the Year competition, Ricardo reinforced his first position, now with 76 points, Iain Wise is second with 47, but very close are now Bernhard with 46 and Martin Middleton with 45 points. With almost half year played, we still a lot to play and lets open the June competition at Bkt Kemuning.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

Two flights started on Mango nine, and cross over to the Island nine, with very hot and humid weather. Some of the fairways the grass was quite burned, maybe to much chemicals, but overall the course played well, with very nice greens, even they were very fast and tricky as usual, costing to many of us extra puts. The winner today was Frans Bakker with an excellent 86 for 41 points, beating Ricardo Castro who played the lowest gross, of 74 for 40 points, and in third place was Martin Middleton with a reasonable 90 for 34 points. For the May competition, Ricardo Castro cemented his first position with a solid 81 points, second is Jan van Driel with 66 and in third place Bernhard Romahn close the podium with 64 points. Steve Collins played his 5th game and became a full Loose Cannons member, well done Steve and welcome to the family. Lunch at the club and Reinli Tan and Steve Collins contributed for the beers bill due to their consistency playing behind the ladies tee, so we are looking forward for the next games for more free beers. See you all next week at Seremban International Golf Club for our last game of the month.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

After a long absence of 2 years and 4 months, we back to Bkt Jalil with 2 full flights for a nice round of golf. The course was wet but playable and we need a lot of golf management and a good distance reading to get the ball on the green to avoid some plugged balls if played short. Martin Middleton and Frans Bakker played the course for the first time and I hope they enjoyed the round, but when I saw the results, I can feel a lot of frustration in the air. Any way, after they finally dropped the caddies and green fees, we have now one more option to play time to time. The weather was very hot and humid, with a nice blue sky all morning, the fairways even wet they played well, but the greens were quite fast and tricky. The winner today was again Ricardo Castro with an excellent 76 for 38 points, followed by Jan van Driel with 98 for 30 points, and in third place was Martin Middleton with 28 points. With two games to complete the May competition, Ricardo Castro is now leading the pack with a solid 79 points, followed by Jan van Driel with 64 and Tony Morris with 58 points. Lunch again at East of Highway restaurant, with only 5 players + Andrew Robinson who got his birthday gift. We all wish to Iain Wise and all the Kloger’s a great extravaganza trip to South of Chon Buri. See you all next week at Nilai Springs for our usual game.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

The last game of April was held at Bkt Unggul, with 15 players starting on hole # 10 before 8:00 am. The weather was hot and dry with a beautiful blue sky all morning. Due to the heavy rain the night before, the course was wet but the fairways were surprisingly playable with only a few places being quite soggy, but overall the course played very well with nice and true greens. We celebrated Ted Parslow and Hans Berger’s birthday with a nice lunch at East of Highway restaurant, and they were very generous sponsoring 100% of the bill. We all wish them a happy long life and most importantly good health. Today we had perfect scores, with only 4 players scoring below 30 points, with the winner Jim Stevenson smashing the scores with a solid 91 for 40 points, followed by 3 players, (Ted Parslow, Ricardo Castro, and Tony Morris), all with 39 points, and in third place 2 players in great form (Hans Berger and Markus Nijmeijer) booth with 36 points. With these results, a lot of changes on the final standings, with Ricardo Castro winning the April competition with a solid 77 points, Bernhard dropped to second place together with Jim Stevenson booth with 74 and Markus Nijmeijer guaranteed the fourth place with a good 71 points. For the LC player of the Year, Ricardo Castro is now the leader with 56 points, second Iain Wise with 46 and in third place Martin MIddleton with 37 points. We welcomed back Ted Parslow, Erol Akinci, and David Pearce from a long overseas absence. Let’s open the May competition at Bangi with a good crowd.

Cannon’s,

Back to Tasik Puteri for a nice golf game and a good crowd. Very nice weather with the best course conditions in the last two years, with good fairways and very nice greens. We played Tasik and Puteri nines with a good pace due to the new starter organization with the flights, even with a quite large number of players playing the Raya tournament, the speed of play was normal. The winner today was Bernhard Romahn, with 83 for 38 points, Markus Nijmeijer came second with 35, and in third place was Hans Berger with 33 points. With these results, Bernhard is now the April competition leader with 74 points, Ricardo second with 72, and Hans Berger third with 67 points, so all quite tide for a ferocious last game of the month. Markus Nijmeijer sponsored our lunch bill with 200.00 rm, to celebrate his birthday. Thank you Markus for your contribution and we all wish you many good returns.

Elevan good looking players started the game on the Southern Nine, crossing over to the Northern Nine. The weather was hot and dry, and the course was not in a good condition and many of us had some problems finding balls on the fairways due the poor course maintaience. Green speed was not stable, and not easy to read the lines. We welcome back Bent Serritslev from Thailand and David Lake just back from Australia. Bipan Kapur had his last game with us because next month he is leaving Malaysia for good back to Australia. We wish you all the best for your new life chapter, and you will always be a Loose Cannons member. Thank you again for your 2025 sponsorship. Martin Middleton had a box of balls as a birthday gift. The winner today was again Martin Middleton, playing is hdc, followed by Ricardo, Iain, Bent and Jim, all with 34 points. Following today’s results, Ricardo Castro is now leading the April competition with 72 points, followed by Bernhard Romahn with 70, and in third place, Martin Middleton with 67 points. See you all next week at Tasik Puteri.
