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.

Cannons all.
16 turned up on a beautiful morning after heavy overnight rain and enjoyed the original 18 which played well despite the deluge. With not a lot of run off the tee the course played a little long but the greens were good if a little slow. It was a surprise therefore that so many poor scores were recorded. Golf’s a funny game at times.
The clear winner was Hans Berger with the only respectable score of 41 points with Erol Akinci runner up with 33 points. The lowest gross was 86 by Kevin Wiggins and the most golf was played by Alan Holgate with 119. Hans is cut 5 and Erol 1.
The full results and your adjusted handicap can be found in the attachment.
Only 9 made it to the Equatorial for an excellent lunch.

Cannons all.
9 LC’s contested the Trophy Game at Tasik Puteri on a fine breezy morning. We played the original 18 which was generally in good condition but with bumpy greens; unusual for TP. With few delays we were all round in well under 4 hours.
The winner was Bernhard Romahn with 41 points from runner-up Ray Funnell with 40 points. Bernhard is cut 4 and Ray 1. The best gross was 88 by Siegi and the most golf was played by Barry.
M&M was at the Equatorial. I think they have changed their cook! OK but not the great grub it was once famous for but still great value for money.

Only 8 players made it on Monday to Tasik Puteri which was a pity since the course was in excellent condition and we got to play the original 18 which is quite a rare opportunity lately. Although the course was qhite busy we managed to get teed off ahead of the hoards and were round in under 4 hours. Stuart Taylor put in a cameo appearance and took a lot of pics for the blog – see below.
The winner was myself with 42 points, cut 6 strokes and the runner-up was Andrew Robinson (again) with 40 points, cut 1 stroke. The lowest gross was 85 from Tony Morris and the most golf was played by Alan Holgate.
Alan Holgate leaves for his annual pilgrimage to Blighty later this week and will be playing there with the 2  Hughe’s Mike & David. 
I will not be playing for the next 3 weeks due to my planned eye surgery and Andrew Robinson will be acting convener during that time. Thank you Andrew.

Some photos from the day follow:

Tony Morris blasts one down the fairway on the 4th hole.
Mike Smith in action – note the use of the large golf towel which increases wind resistance and prevents him falling over from his excessive follow through swing
Waiting on the slow fourball ahead … namely Andrew, Erol, Hans and Alan
I hope this is a practice swing Tony … otherwise you are too far away from the ball

Mike Smith adds up the scores and with our high scores this is indeed an arduous task

Simon Compton drove well today and here we see another well executed shot.
