Results – Kinrara Golf Course – 10th January 2012

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Kinrara, Loose CannonsLeave a comment
Cannons all,
A rather belated report this week because I went outstation almost immediately after the Kinrara game.
Since our last visit to this track much work has been done to the club house which is now superb and there is plenty of evidence of renovation of the course as well. The new tee boxes are very nice and if they get the greens relaid then Kinrara will be one of the better courses in town.
15 LC’s teed it up on a fine morning but we had to follow a bunch of elderly locals for much of the round which slowed things up some what. Still, we were round in just over 4 hours so not  too bad. The fairways were a little soft in places and in need of a haircut. The greens were very variable both in pace and in condition and need a lot of work or better still replacement. The buggies too have seen better days. Did they get these from BU??? But all in all this is a nice and convenient place for a game of golf.
The winner was Andrew Robinson with 43 points OCB from Erol Akinci. Geoff had the lowest gross with 81 and the most golf was played by Raymond with 113.
Andrew is cut 7 strokes while Erol gets away with just the mandatory 1 stroke.
The full results and your adjusted handicaps can be found on the attachment.
The M&M was taken at The Annex which was up to it’s usual good standards. I had to leave early but the wine was flowing nicely by then.
During lunch plans were laid to play KDE next Monday and then go to Ma Maison for their very good buffet lunch. We had tried to arrange this once before only to find that Ma Maison closes on a Tuesday. Well guess what. KDE closes on a Monday!!! The best laid plans ……
So we will play Bukit Unggul next MONDAY instead. Monday because several of us will be playing KLOGS on Wednesday and can’t find the energy to play 2 days running anymore.

Rumour has it that this course will soon be turned into a sheep farm. Indeed there is evidence that preparations have begun already!!!

In the meantime have a look at a few of the changes!

Smokers terrace.
Unchanged from a distance!

Clean shiny new look at entrance
Smart new check in desk

Results – Bukit Kemuning Golf & Country Resort – 3rd January 2012

Cannons all,
16 players turned up at Bukit Kemuning on a fine morning. The course was in reasonable condition but the fairways hadn’t seen a mower in several days and the rough was also very long and thick leading to much searching for stray balls. In mitigation I suppose the recent very wet weather has restricted access for the grass cutting machinery.
The winner was Barry Cousins with 42 points and the Runner-up was Andrew Robinson with 39 points OCB. The lowest gross was by Andrew with 88 and the most golf was played by Alan with 114. Barry is cut 6 strokes and Andrew 1 stroke. The full scores and your adjusted handicaps can be found in the attachment.
 
This was Barry Cousin’s 70th birthday and he generously hosted lunch at a nearby Seafood Restoran which was excellent. Barry had also laid on Beer, Wine & Whisky to help celebrate the occasion which I understand moved on to another location for some, and continued well into the evening. As one survivor put it “dog box for me the next the morning”.
Thank you Barry.

Results – Kajang Hill Golf Club – 27th December 2011

Cannons all,
12 golfers assembled at Kajang Hill on a beautiful morning with few other people to disturb our enjoyment of this lovely golf course. Still in operation and likely to remain so till late 2012 according to the staff. But the signs of neglect are beginning to appear.
With glorious views of the main range; Genting being very visible, we teed off on a nearly deserted course and made good progress slowed only by the search for balls in the long rough which has remained uncut due to the recent very wet weather.
This was the December Trophy Game and the clear winner was Bernhard Romahn with 42 points with Richard Moss R/U with 37 points OCB. The lowest gross was 84 by Bernhard and the most golf was played by our visitor Steve Hamill with 110.
Bernhard is cut 6 strokes and Richard 1 stroke.
The venue for next weeks game will be announced later.
Best wishes to all Loose Cannons for the New Year.

Results – Tasik Puteri Golf & Country Club – 20th December 2011

Cannons all,

This was the Christmas game and in the spirit of the occasion all participants had been asked to wear appropriate festive headgear at assembly and on the first Tee. A couple of us didn’t heed this request but at least Bernhard volunteered a fine of RM50 for his misdemeanour. Thanks Bernhard.
The 15 LC’s and one guest enjoyed fine weather at Tasik Puteri which was in good condition if a little soft underfoot in places. With few other golfers on course at the start of the round it was good progress for most but flight 2 off Tee 10 returned almost an hour after flight 1 for some inexplicable reason. Come on guys; we need to speed up our play. The golden rule here is ALWAYS be ready to play when your turn comes.
The winner was Andre Holm with 38 points from Bernhard Romahn with 37 points. The lowest gross was Bernhard with 90 and the most golf was played by Alan with 127.
Andre is cut 4 and Bernhard 1.
The full results together with your handicap adjustments can be viewed in the attachment.
M&M was taken at the EQUATORIAL and very good it was too.
The venue for next weeks game will be announced later.
May I take this opportunity to pass on seasonal greetings.
To my liberal friends and those of a politically correct leaningPlease accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the summer/winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012 , but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped form their great nations. Not to imply that these countries are necessarily greater than any other country in the world. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

Cannons all,
12 Cannons took up the challenge at BU on a fine cool morning. The new buggies are a long overdue improvement (yes, they are brand new) and the course was generally in good order. With few other players present at 8 o’clock we were round in good time.
The winner was Tony Morris with 42 points and the runner-up Simon Compton with 40 points. The lowest gross were 87’s by Bernard & Simon and the most golf was played by Alan with 120. The full results and your adjusted handicaps can be found in the attachment.
