Results – Bukit Unggul – 13th December 2011

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.

Revised Xmas Lunch Programme – Coliseum Cafe – 10th December 2010

Cannons all.
We have 10 signed up as I write but are hoping for several more. From the feedback I am getting some of you are baulking at the “mandatory” requirements and others are wondering why we aren’t getting turkey, roast spuds, Christmas pudding etc. etc.
Well, the Coliseum don’t and won’t do Turkey etc., so we have to make do with what they do provide which has a certain colonial nostalgia about it and happens to be quite good fare.  For those of you who believe you are too grown up to wear a santa hat in public or too wimpish to stand up and in some way entertain your friends for a couple of minutes, even if it’s only to wish them merry Christmas, I have softened the programme as modified in green below.
So now get your finger out and sign up for the inaugural Cannons Christmas Lunch.
Arrangements for the CHRISTMAS LUNCH at the Coliseum are finalized. Please make a diary note now and enjoy what should be a very entertaining day, evening, night……….Ahh.

Loose Cannons Xmas Lunch – 10th December 2010

The Loose Cannon’s Xmas lunch will be held at the prestigious Coliseum Restaurant on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman on Friday 10th December. Andrew Robinson and Mike Smith will be firming up details for this event but please block this out in your diary …. and while you are at it probably better block out most of the next day!
Please make arrangements for non-self-drive transport that day as there will be in all probability an excess of rehydration materials available for the duration of the luncheon which will no doubt cause post-luncheon drowsiness, slurred speech and a moderate to total inability to use one’s limbs for perambulation.
