16 golfers contested the December Trophy game at Nilai Springs in perfect weather on a course in exceptionally good condition. NS are clearly spending money on their course maintenance with numerous ground staff all in smart uniforms beavering away. Well done NS. Even the buggies were new!
The winner with 44 points plus 3 bonus points was Erol Akinci and the runner up with 41 points plus 3 bonus points was Hans Berger. Erol is cut 8 and Hans 1. The lowest gross was 86 by Akinci the younger and the most golf was played by Barry Cousins.
M&M was taken at the club and Erol’s contribution of his winning helped keep the cost down. Thank you Erol. Your trophy is with me as is John Laidley’s November trophy. We welcomed back Michael Hughes from the frozen north.

Another good turn-out saw 15 players muster for this weeks game.  The course was relatively quiet and in good nick and the weather was perfect.

This was the Trophy Game for the month.  After protracted debate/discussion/review/calculation the winner was declared to be Ray Funnell with a gross 97 and 37 points plus 3 bonus points for 40 points.  Second OCB with a gross 88 and 36 points plus 4 bonus points for 40 points was Andrew Robinson.  Kevin had the lowest gross with 84 and newcomer John Harvey and Alan played the most golf with 114 apiece.  Full details – minus the bonus points follows:

1. Ray Funnel – 97/37
2. Bernhard Romahn – 87/36
3. Andrew Robinson – 88/36
4. Kevin Wiggins – 84/34
5. Erol Akinci – 98/34

Post-golf sustenance was taken at the club and there was a RM98 carry-over.

Next week your Cannons Pro Tempore Convenor Again will be in Penang on family duty.  Accordingly Richard Moss has stepped up to the plate to take over proceedings.  Doubtless an informative signal will issue forth in the fullness of time.

8 players registered and 7 turned up on time. (Bernard had difficulties and joined his flight on the 8th.) We were graced by the appearance of Mr. Smith who proposed walking the course and taking photos for the blog. Unfortunately the marshals had other ideas and he was escorted from the course for inappropriate footware!!

The monthly trophy was won by Ian Geekie with a gross 96 and 40 points. Ian cut 4 next week. Runner up was Erol Akinci with 91 for 39. Erol cut 1. Best Gross was Erol (91). Most Golf – Yours Truly with 111.

As Andrew is on his way to the UK and Mike is still indisposed I’ve volunteered (?) to take over as Temporary Convenor for the next few weeks.

Tuesday’s game will be at Nilai Springs. Meet at 7:30, kick off 8:00. It’s Trophy day and we may even have a Trophy.

Please let me know if you’re playing – either email or by phone 012 317 3651.

A total of 13 turned up for the Monthly Trophy Game at Nilai Springs.  The weather was excellent and the course in good shape and rather quiet; although having whizzed round the Mango 9 we got caught behind some slow flights coming back on the Pines 9.
 
The winner on the day was Andrew Robinson with a gross of 85 and 39 points.  Second was Erol Akinci with a 93 for 38.  Andrew is cut 4 and Erol 1.  Andrew also had the lowest gross and Mike Hughes played the most golf with 110, but still managed to keep his remarkable run of Top 10 finishes intact!  Full details below:
 
Andrew Robinson – 85/39
Erol Akinci – 93/38
Tom Holmes – 101/37
Hans Berger – 94/36
Tony Morris – 92/36
Alan Holgate – 105/35
Reinli Tan – 92/34
Joe Zorich – 89/30
Bernhard Romahn – 99/29
Mike Hughes – 110/29
Vincent Vijayan – 108/25
Kevin Wiggins – 95/24
Ray Funnell – 103/23
 
Special welcomes were made to Kevin and Joe, both making appearances after longish absences.  Great to see you both!
 
Next week hopefully our Dear Leader will be back at the helm and doubtless he will advise us of next weeks arrangements in due time.

Results – Nilai Springs – 13th April 2010

14 players (12 Cannons & 2 guests) turned out for the Nilai Springs game which is OK considering that a few regulars were holidaying with the family and a couple of others were sick. NS was in good condition with the greens on the Pines 9 much faster than the Island 9. Hot and very humid conditions got the better of several players including Klaus who complained bitterly about the weather saying he “completed the last few holes like a zombie” but still managed to return his handicap!

The clear winner with 42 points was Rein Le Tan, clearly rejuvenated now that his gearbox is performing well. Rein Le, you are cut 6 strokes. Runner up was guest Siegie with 37 points but the member R/U was Klaus with 36 points. Cut 1 stroke. Someone made the comment that they couldn’t remember this ruling being applied in the past. Well, we are not in the past so get used to it.

The lowest gross was our other guest Frances with an excellent 85.

This was the last Cannons game this year for David Hughes and we wish him bon voyage back to the frozen north. David donated a bottle of Black Label to the winner.

The M&M bill came to a modest RM545 and after all the cash in hand was donated (including Rein Le’s winnings) everyone coughed up RM20. The change plus RM160 which I owed (because I came out without my wallet) means that a hefty RM180 goes into the kitty. We will need to spend some of this soon.
Many thanks to Klaus Kretzschmar for the photographs.
