Results – Nilai Springs – 18th August 2011

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, Nilai SpringsLeave a comment

With many of our regulars away with Wigs at Hua Hin and a couple of late casualties, only 6 mustered at Nilai Springs on a perfect morning for a game of golf on a course in excellent condition. Roger Smith put in a cameo appearance which was noteworthy by having to play the last few holes of the front 9 with a clenched arse. Duly relieved, he showed us that he can still play the game on the second 9.
Erol Akinci was the winner with 39 points with Hans Berger r/u with 36 points. As Erol won last time out he is cut 8 strokes and Hans the mandatory 1 stroke.
The makan was not great but with Rick using his members privilage and Roger buying a couple of jugs it was very affordable and were left with a surplus of RM7.
A folded bundle of RM notes was found after most had departed. Anyone missing some money?

We were all done and dusted by noon and lunch was taken at the club and was notable for NO BEER AT ALL CONSUMED!!!  Large tankards of brightly coloured juices festooned the table – perhaps in subliminal deference to Ramadan?
 
Our Dear Leader returns to these shores this Friday from his eventful Iberian Odyssey and will inform you all in due time of the arrangements for next weeks game – which will be on THURSDAY 18TH AUGUST!!!
 
Kind regards

15 Cannons made it to KGSAAS for this weeks game, arriving by 7.15 am for a very prompt start before 8.00 am.  And the first flights were in by 11.00, despite complaints of slow play by the 3-ball holding up the following 4-ball!  And the last flight in was very slow – and overtaken by a brace of flights of oriental wenches – Japanese or Korean?  The weather was superb with a light breeze and the course in very good nick.  And the scores were in the main most impressive.  WINNER was Raymond Keys with 93 off the stick for 41 points  and cut 5.  RUNNER-UP was Barry Cousins with 94 for 40 points and cut 1.  Lowest gross was Simon Compton with 86 and the most golf was enjoyed by Vincent Vijayan with 110.  Full results as follows:
 
1. Raymond Keys – 93/41
2. Barry Cousins – 94/40
3. Simon Compton – 86/39
4. Peter Edgworth – 92/39
5. Erol Akinci – 94/39
6. Andrew Robinson – 88/38
7. Aftab – 92/38
8. Glen Wombwell – 96/37
9. Tony Morris – 88/36
10. Bernhard Romahn – 102/31
11. Ray Funnell – 104/11
12. Klaus Kretschmar – 107/30
13. Jeff Pearce – 100/28
14. Vincent Vijayan – 110/27
15. Rick Brown – 106/26
 
Lunch was taken at the RSC Kiara Sports Annex and it evolved into a jolly good bash. Large quantities of beer, wine, mixed grills and other dishes were soon consumed.  And there was a rather odd run on fairy cakes from the new  Fruity Cake stall….  A couple of the more astute Cannons made there way downstairs for further libation….

Results – SSG Beringin Golf Course – 26th July 2011

On By Stuart TaylorIn Beringin, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose CannonsLeave a comment

Small group of 7 managed the 45 minute journey to Beringin to-day. (The distance was a bit daunting for some of our elderly members)
 
Everyone was on time enabling us to get registered and saddled up by 07.35 am. The early Start put us 1st on the course and finished by 11.15am.
 
The cost for 7 players was RM 360 (RM 51.42 each)  RM 50 was collected from everyone. As many wanted to get off after the game we had a quick drink and award ceremony at the club and was on our way home by 12 .30pm.
No carry over RM!
 
The course as usual was in great condition apart from the greens being still wet from the overnight dew.
 
Stable-ford scores on the day were close together. Just one score stood out from the rest and that was from Klaus who scored a 93 for 39 points. (Bonus points were not required.)
2nd place went to Ray Funnell with his 100 for 35 points (off a 27 h/cap)
 
Erol gave Klaus a run for his money taking the 1st 9 with 21 points slot but then Erols game fell apart after picking up his ball after 6 shots on the par 4 10th  thinking the hole was a par 3. The hole was a  6 index which would have given Erol 1 point for his 18”  7th shot if taken.!
 
Positions:
 
1st        Klaus Kretzschmar                  93  /  39           Cut 4 to 20
2nd        Ray Funnell                             100 / 35           Cut 1 to 26
3rd        Jeff  Pearce                             96  /  35           + 1     to 23
4th        Erol Akinci                              98  /  34           + 1     to 25
5th        Peter Edgworth                       96  /  34           + 1     to 23
6th        Simon Compton                      92  /  32           + 1     to 17
7th        Tony Morris                            93  /  30           + 1     to 16

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….
