The results for the recent poll regarding the use of USGA handicaps are summarised below. The majority of players (81%) have voted for the use of USGA handicaps for ALL games. So starting 1st January 2014 Loose Cannons will be adopting the use of players’ official USGA handicaps for all Loose Cannons games. So no more cuts for the winner and runner up as a win should be reflected in a cut in the handicap via the online USGA system we now use.

Results – Tasik Puteri – 3rd December 2013
Report
5 full flights teed off slightly early from 2 boxes. This has to be some sort of record for Tasik…..!!
We played the Puteri and Tasik 9 s. The long Tasik proved even more challenging than usual, as the rough, after the recent weather had not been cut and several balls were lost, in what should have been short rough…. Jeff actually lost a ball to a rare working mower…!!
Weather conditions were good, with light cloud, a rare dry day…. The course was unsurprisingly wet, but the greens were in their usual great condition and were true and fast. The scores reflected the tough conditions and only 50 % of the players broke the 100…
The winner was Jeff Pearce with 91 for 39 points, cut 4, just beating Stuart Taylor who had 91 for 38 points. Cut 1.

Report
The November Trophy game was played at STAFFIELD. Excellent golfing weather, the Western and Northern 9’s were in great condition and the scores reflected the great day, with 9 combatants playing better than their handicaps.
In what turned out to be a very close scoring day, 8 players within 4 points, the winner was Andrew Robinson with 90 for 42 points. Well done, and Cut 6. In second place on countback was Ray Funnell, with 94 FOR 41 points, cut 1. Welcomed back Bernie Schobert, who lost ocb but had the lowest gross of 80. The round contained 4 birdies, and was very enjoyable to watch.

Results – Monterez Golf Club – 19th November 2013
Report
That we have entered the wet-season was very obvious this morning at Monterez, one needed to be a golf enthusiast to enjoy it on some fairways, the greens were okay on all though. Anyhow, we all battled it through and the scores were not too bad in the end.
Ian Wise and myself had both 37points, checking the last nine points did not separate us but the last six holes total points did i.e. I won, cut four to 18 and Ian second, cut one to 21. Lowest gross 92 Ian and myself and most golf played by Aftab with 105. We all had lunch at the club afterwards, service a bit slow but food okay on most plates.

Results – Nilai Springs Golf & Country Club – 12th November 2013
Report
We managed to tee off on time, with excellent weather. The course was in good condition and the greens were, as usual true and reasonably quick, bearing in mind the recent wet weather. We played the Island and Pines 9s.
The scores for Nilai were not as good as expected but Barry Cousins had a good round and was the winner with 101 for 39 points. Cut 4 . In second place on count back from Robert Mulliss was Ted Parslow with 85 for 36 points. Cut 1. Ted achieved a 1 under par back 9 for 26 points….He claimed the lesson he recently had proved worthwhile on his second 9 .!! Full
scores attached.
