A decent turnout of 11 Cannons pitched up in good time to ensure an early start ahead of a small competition.  The weather was perfect and the course as difficult as ever, which was reflected in a slew of dreadful scores.  Winner was Bernhard Romahn with gross 95 for 35 points and cut 4.  R-up was Sigi Meierbrugger with the lowest gross of the day of 92 for 34 points and cut 1.  These were the only two golfers to break 100!  And Bob Simpson chalked up the most golf with a solid 115.  The full gory details as follows:
1. Bernhard Romahn – 95/35 and cut 4.
2. Sigi Meierbrugger – 92/34 and cut 1.
3. Ian Geekie – 109/30
4. Erol Akinci – 102/28
5. Paul Hobbs – 114/27
6. Jeff Pearce – 109/23
7. Andrew Robinson – 103/22
8. Klaus Kretschmar – 108/22
9. Tony Morris – 102/20
10. Glen Wombwell – 114/18
11. Bob Simpson – 115/14
As the master chef at Seri Selangor was not in the kitchen on the day and they had run out of  Chateau Lafite, the post golf F&B was taken at Sid’s Pub in TTDI – we had the place to ourselves save for a brace of office dollies and it turned out to be a rather sober and quiet event….

11 players made it to Seri Selangor for a 7.00am muster.  The course was in good order with excellent greens.  However the rough was very rough and made for much ball searching.  The second flight spent at least 60% of the time looking for Ian’s ball…..he managed to loose 6!  The group welcomed Mohamed for his first Cannons game and Richard Moss who is now back in town after 2 years in Dubai.

The degree of difficulty was reflected in a slew of crappy scores!  Only 2 players breaking 100.  And from bottom the week before to top this week, the winner was Andrew Robinson with gross 90 for 37 points and cut 4.  Coming second in his first Cannons game since returning from Arabia was Richard Moss with 107 gross for 31 points and cut 1.  Andrew and Kevin shared the lowest gross with 90 apiece, whilst Tom played the most golf with 111.  Full details:
1. Andrew Robinson – 90/37
2. Richard Moss – 107/31
3. Ray Funnel – 102/30
4. Ian Geekie – 107/30
5. Tom Holmes – 111/27
6. Kevin Wiggins – 90/25
7. Mahomed – 102/25
8. Hans Berger – 103/24
9. Erol Akinci – 106/24
10. Tony Morris – 108/21
11. Bernhard Romahn – 105/17

Erol took the initiative to book us in to Betty’s Kitchen for lunch, which turned out to be closed for the day for stocktaking!  So it was off to the RSC Kiara Sports Annex, where Mike Smith joined us.  It turned out to be a good thrash with lashings of beer and wine to the fore. Unfortunatel Raymond who was not playing made his way to Betty’s for lunch……..!

The PINK LADY CHAMPIONSHIP is slated for Friday, 29 October, and 8 Cannons have signed up to grace the occasion.
The CANNONS XMAS LUNCH will be on Friday, 10 December, and Andrew + Mike will firm up details nearer the time.

Results – Bukit Utama – 10th August 2010

On By Stuart TaylorIn golf. cock up, Loose Cannons, Seri SelangorLeave a comment

The game was arranged for Seri Selangor and 8 persons turned up with one more on the way when we were informed that there was no possibility of playing due to a competition being held which effectively closed the course from 8am. This was despite the club being asked, twice, over the previous few days if there were any comps or problems with playing on Tuesday.
 
After some discussion it was decided, at the suggestion of Barry, to go to Bukit Utama and play the 9 hole course twice. Eventually, after fighting traffic eight of us made it to Bukit Utama and got under way a little before 9. (Ian Geekie decided not to come as he was advised that we didn’t know what we were doing before the Bukit Utama decision was made!) I think the phrase “don’t know what we’re doing” summed up the morning pretty well until then.
 
Most of us had played Bukit Utama before and did not have very high expectations of the course. I believe the majority were pleasantly suprised. There has been a great improvement since I last played – maybe 2 years ago and despite the quality of the greens being a bit inconsistent it measured up to quite a few courses we play regularly. In order to add variety we played the first nine off the whites and the second off the blues although there were few holes that this made any appreciable difference.
 
Mike Hughes (yes me) won his first Cannons game with 33 points on a gross of 106, on countback from Zack Preston (95 gross.) Mike is cut 4, Zack 1 for next time. Best gross was John Preston with a 90 while last week’s champ Barry Cousins played the most golf with a 120.
 
Full Results:
 
1. Mike Hughes                     33 points              106 gross (OCB)
2. Zack Preston                     33                         95
3. John Preston                     31                         90
4. Peter Edgworth                 28                         99
5. Bernhard Romahn             27                        101
6. Ray Funnell                      23                        107
7. Barry Cousins                   20                        120
    Dick Stauffer                    NR    (Dick had to leave after nine holes for an appointment.)
 
Lessons learned from this episode was NEVER try Seri Selangor again – especially near Ramadan. Also, Bukit Utama is worth considering once in awhile (I wouldn’t go so far as to add it to a regular schedule.)
 
Due to the late finish M&M was hit and miss with 4 of us having something to eat by the pool although there is an excellent Chinese on site.
 
I’ll Advise next week’s game ASAP. Rest assured I will do all in my power to avoid this week’s cock up.
