TASIK PUTERI REPORT-05-08-2025

Cannon’s,

The first game of August was played in Tasik Puteri Golf Club & Resorts, with hot and dry weather. Four flights started on the Tasik nine and cross over to the Puteri nine. Tasik nine was not in the best conditions, especially the fairways, very dry, difficult to find grass, making the shots challenging, but I must say that the greens were in excellent condition. The Puteri nine the fairways were much better and again with nice greens. Overall all of us faced difficult conditions reflecting everyone’s low results. Three players finished on the top with 34 points but Reinli Tand was better than Frans Bakker and Jan van Driel on the countback, and in third place was Bernhard Romahn with 33 points. We celebrated Steve’s birthday and Jan’s 200 game milestone, with both of them receiving a box of balls. Reinli got his award celebrating his victory as July champion. It was a lovely morning followed by a nice lunch at the club terrace. Next week we will be playing at Rahman Putra.

Cheers

Cannon’s

Four flights played the last game of July at the beautiful Bkt Unggul. The weather for the first three hours was warm sunny and blue skies, but an unexpected strong wind brought some dark clouds, but luckily very little rain. The course even dry, played very well, a few sandy greens but overall in excellent condition, with good results for most players. Today’s winner was Fritz Katzengruber with an excellent score of 88 for 42 points, Jim Stevenson followed closely behind with 40 points and in third place was Siegmund Maeibrugger with a solid 90 for 38 points. With these results Reinli Tan is the July Champion (after 15 years) with 77 points, Ricardo Castro, Jan van Driel and Steve Collins followed closely behind with 73 points. For the Player of the year competition, Ricardo Castro remains firmly in first place with 110 points, followed by Bernhard Romahn with 54 and in third place Jan van Driel with 52 points.

IMPIAN REPORT-22-07-2025

Cannon’s,

Three flights started on time in two different tee boxes. As always the course was in good condition with tricky and fast greens. At first the weather was cloudy and humid, but after 8 holes it started to rain quite heavily, forcing a short 15-minute break, with play resuming immediately afterwards, now with warmer and more humid weather until the end. Marc Louette played his 5th game, and he became a full Loose Cannon member. Steve Collins, celebrated his first weekly victory with a solid 98 for 39 points, second was the consistent Jan van Driel with 34 points, and in third place Ricardo Castro and Roland Steiner booth with 33 points. With these results, the July competition sees Reinli remain firmly in first place with 77 points, Jan and Steve in second with 73 and Ricardo very close with 72 points, and everything remaining open especially for the first 4 positions. Next week is the last game of July scheduled for Bkt Unggul.

Cheers

DANAU REPORT-15-07-2025

Cannon’s,

Three flights started before 8:00am on hole # 10. The first 5 holes the weather was sunny and pleasant, but after that it got very hot and dry till the end of the game, making Reinli consume more beer. Course was in good condition, with nice but difficult greens as always, but its golf. The last 5 holes we were behind a jumbo flight and can you believed, they were 8 players, but luckily they let the first 2 flights pass them and we all finished the round before noon. Any way we complained with the Marshall on this situation but not much to change as we just get some smiles and “so sorry boss” as an answer. The winner today was again Reinli Tan (lots of improvement with the new set of clubs) with a massive 43 points, followed by Ricardo Castro (lowest gross of 73) and Jan van Driel both with a solid 39 points, and in third place Bernhard Romahn with a reasonable 35 points. For the monthly competition Reinli is now the new leader with 77 points, second is Jan with 73 and Ricardo in third place with 72 points. Next week, lets show off our golf skills at Impian.

Cheers

BKT BERUNTUNG REPORT-08-07-2025

Cannon’s,

We teed off with three flights, one 3-ball and 2 full flights before 8 am at Bukit Beruntung, under a very dark cover of clouds. And yes, the first flight just teed off and had to stay in the buggy for 10 – 15 minutes because of heavy rain. The other two flights found shelter in the driving range.

After the rain stopped, the weather was nice and cool. The rain didn’t have that much effect on the course. The quality of the fairway and greens was really nice. That was reflected in the scores as well (or are we so good…..??)

The first flight was really flying through the course (including Fritz with stomach problems!), and had to wait after the game about 1 hour until the second flight came in. That flight was also reduced to a 3-ball as Reinli was exhausted from the previous evening/night activities. Marc Louette played his third game.

The last couple of holes the sun came out and we finished in real nIce sunny, not too warm weather. The winner today was Frans Bakker with 36 points, second was Martin Belderink with 35 and in third place Jan van Driel and Steve Collins both with 34 points. With these results Jan is now leading the monthly competition with 66 points, followed by Iain Wise with 63 and Josef Winter with 61, so all still open for the last 3 games of July. Lunch was enjoyed in the restaurant Full Moon, where Martin sponsored the lunch because of his 200th game!! Many thanks and well done, Martin.

Next week we’ll play at Danau. See you next week.

Cheers

THE ROYAL KAMPUNG KC REPORT-01-07-2025

Cannon’s,

What a time to play Royal Kampung Kuantan club, with great course conditions, dry fairways and excellent greens. You can see a lot of upgrading on the buggy station, buggy tracks, looker room and a lot of cleaning around the fairways and greens areas, so for sure they are on the right track improving the course and facilities. Weather was hot, dry, sunny and a nice blue sky all morning. Marc Louette played his second game and for sure more to play. Flights 1 & 2 started on the hole 1 and flight 3 started on hole # 10. Everyone struggled between holes 1 to 9, with the water traps and the result was a lots of balls lost and many penalties. The winner today (after 15 years) was Reinli Tan with a nice 106 for 34 points, second was Ricardo Castro with 79 for 33 and Jan van Driel and Iain Wise shared the third place with 32 points. Ricardo Castro also received his June champion prize. Lunch at Jet Mei Seafood with nice food and cool beers. Next week Bkt Beruntung is the place to be.

Cheers

BERJAYA HILLS REPORT-24-06-2025

Cannon’s,

Berjaya Hills Golf & Country Club is wonderfully located in the hills north east of KL, offering scenic views and cool weather. Nine of us had a good drive up the mountain side for a wonderful and unique golf experience. This time the course was dry, fairways were in good conditions, bunkers were very messy and in need of repair and re-sanding, the greens were not to bad only a few with some parts potholed and patchy, making putting a random lottery, but much better then the last time we played here. We had a pleasant weather, blue sky, sunshine with some nice clouds formations, a good combination to take some nice pictures. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with a solid 77 for 36 points, Reinli came second with a nice 106 for 35 points, and in third place Bernhard Romahn with 88 for 32 points. Bernhard had 22 points on the first nine, but on the second nine his game went down hill, losing a great opportunity to archive a special score. With the last game of the month done, Ricardo is the June champion with 75 points, followed by Reinli with 68 and in third place Roland and Fritz ended up both with 67 points. For the year competition and with the final June results, Ricardo solidified his first position, with 96 points, second is now Bernhard with 50 and Iain Wise and Martin MIddleton are sharing the third place both with 47 points. Half year done and still a lot to fight for the points. Post game lunch at Restaurant 126 down in the valley at Bkt Tinggi, with nice food and cold beers. See you all next week at Royal Kampung for another and different gold experience.

Cheers

KGSAAS REPORT-17-06-2025

Cannon’s

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

A FAMOSA REPORT-10-06-2025

Cannon’s,

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.

Cheers

BKT KEMUNING REPORT-03-06-2025

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.
