Cannon’s,

Due to the long weekend holidays, our game had to move to Thursday at KGSAAS. Two full flights were ready before 8:00 am on the President Nine, crossing over on the Sultan Nine. Even with all the rain from the last few days, the course was in good condition, but you can see most of the fairways starting to get muddy, with good, but difficult greens with a nasty pin position. Overcast weather before the game but when we teed off the sun was already very bright and strong, and all morning was very hot. Marvin Gan played his 4th game, and once more he will have the full membership. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with a nice 79 for 34 points, second, Bernhard Romahn with 87 for 33 points, and in third place Josef Winter with 93 for 30 points. With these results, Ricardo is leading the pack for the monthly competition with 72 points, second Fritz with a nice number, 69, and in third Bernhard with 68 points, so all are open for the last game of the month in Bkt Unggul.

Cheers

Ricardo Castro

Back to North to play Bkt Beruntung with 2 full flights. The weather was nice and cool during the first nine, but when we were ready to start the second nine, we saw black clouds and in 5 minutes we had a big storm and had to go back to find shelter for about 30 minutes. After the storm, the weather was again nice and cooler until we finished. The course was in nice conditions with perfect greens and we all enjoyed the round. Today’s winner was our new member, Jim Stevenson with an excellent 94 for 41 points, Ricardo Castro (lowest gross) also with a solid 71 for 38 points finished in second, Martin Middleton and Fritz Katzengruber ended up in third place booth with 37 points. Full Moon was again our restaurant choice, for a good and affordable meal. Next week KGSAAS is on Thursday the 19th due to the Tuesday Public holiday.

The first game of September was held at Amverton Cove, with overcast weather, very pleasant with a nice sea breeze. The course was in good condition and had nice greens. Only one flight started on hole # 10 just before the crowd, and we finished below 4 hours. The winner today was again Josef Winter with a nice 87 for 36 points, followed by Ricardo Castro and Fritz Katzengruber booth with 32 points, and Hans finished the flight with a reasonable 26 points. After a good and refreshing shower, we rushed to I Suka restaurant for a good lunch with good food and nice and cool watermelon juice and beer. Josef got the prize for the win and also for August being champion and he was very happy and congratulations to him. Next week we will go North to Bkt Beruntung for one more adventure.

Cheers

Back to Nilai to use the vouchers before the end of the month, but only 10 players signed up for the game. We played the Mango and Island Nines, weather was overcast with black clouds and after nine holes we had to stop for 30 minutes, and when the game resumed, the weather started to open and we finished with some sunshine and blue sky. The course was playable with some soggy fairway areas but very nice with fast greens overall. The winner was Bernhard Romahn with a strong 80 for 40 points, followed by Roland Steiner and Ricardo Castro booth with 36 points. With these results, Bernhard is now leading the monthly competition with 73 Points; second place is Martin Middleton with 72; third place is Ricardo with 70 points. Lunch at the usual restaurant with excellent food and cool beers.

Cheers

After 8 years we returned to Royal Kampung also known as Kelab DiRaja Kampung. It is one of the oldest golf clubs in Malaysia and the oldest club in Selangor, opened in 1910 by the British, and even all these years the clubhouse still keeps all the colonial charm with the original design and a lot of old pictures on the vitrine showing how active was the club on those days. Nine brave LCs traveled all the way from KL and with early morning black clouds and a little rain, we all started on different tee boxes before 8:00 am. Seven of us, it was our first experience playing this course and I’m sure they enjoyed the atmosphere. The overcast weather stays most of the morning, only the last hour opened with some blu sky and sunny. The course was in good shape dry with playable greens but a lot of improvement around the course with many workers cleaning all the bushes between the fairways. We welcomed back, Josef back to the group after 10 10-week holidays in Germany and a lot of hunger to play golf. The winner today was Martin Belderink with a solid 94 for 38 points, followed by Frans Bakker with 93 for 33 points, and in third place was Martin Middleton with 99 for 32 points. After the game and a good shower, we all rushed to Jeti Mei restaurant and we had a nice and cheap lunch with cool beers.

Cheers

Cannon’s,

The last game of July was held at Danau, one of the most infamous golf courses for some of our members for different reasons and excuses. Today we had 3 flights (11 players) and all started before 8:00 am on hole # 10. Sunny weather and blue sky all morning turning hot and dry around 9:30 am. The fairways were dry, with nice and fast greens, but some, the pin position was quite challenging for most of us, costing a lot of puts, but that’s Danau greens, always like this all the time we play there. The winner today was David Cheung with a fantastic score of 85 for 40 points, second place, Jan van Driel also with a nice 92 for 38 points, and in third place with the lowest gross of the day, was Ricardo Castro with a solid 76 for 37 points. With these final results, Jan van Driel is the July champion with a total of 84 points, followed by Ricardo Castro with 80 points, and in third place, Martin Middleton and David Cheng, booth with 79 points. For the LCOTY competition, Jan van Driel took over second place with 65 points, Bernhard is now in third place with 64 points, and the leader, Ricardo Castro consolidated his first position with 86 points. I must say July was very competitive, with quite high scores, making the competition for the last 5 months quite interesting and good quality of golf. Free lunch, sponsored by the LC Kitty, at East of Highway restaurant for eight of us, with a nice food selection ordered by our F&B expert, Iain Wise, but he had some problems with the Chinese staff ordering the Currie Vegetables dish (quite a common dish in KL), taking a few minutes and 3 people to understand what Iain was asking.

Back to Tasik Puteri, with hot and sunny weather. Three flights started before 8:00 am on Puteri Nine, crossing over to the Putera Nine. The course was dry, with good fairways, with nice and speedy greens, costing a lot of puts to most of us. The winner today was our international member, Frans Bakker with a solid 89 for 38 points, beating OCB, Jan van Driel, and Dave Evans, and in third place, with the lowest score, Ricardo Castro with a nice 76 for 37 points. With these results, Jan van Driel still led the pack with 84 points for the July competition, followed by Ricardo Castro with 80 and Martin Middleton and Dave Evans very close with 79 and 78 points respectively, so a lot to fight in the next final game for July.
