Next Tuesday 9 November we will play Kajang Hills Golf Club. This is a little more costly than most courses we play and so I will be collecting RM150 per head – but this includes lunch. And we need full flights to get the mid-week deal of RM532 per flight.
Please let Andrew Robinson know soonest if you will be playing and be there 07.30 hrs latest
Tony Morris 90/40
From this it is clear that Tony Morris is the winner with a 4 stroke reduction
and John runner up with a 1 stroke reduction.The lowest
gross was John whilst most golf was played by Darren.

The clement conditions of Bukit Tinggi were found to be very conducive and the
Berjaya Hills course was in tiptop condition. Indeed some Loose Cannons
expressed a desire to return next Tuesday. The first flight of 3 teed off at
0800 precisely and caught up with a Korean 4 ball at the 8th who waited by the
9th tee to wave the 3 ball through. A leisurely round was completed at 1130
with little sign of other golfers, before adjourning to the lounge to await
the other 3 flights. Noon and noon thirty came and went as did a couple of
buckets of tiger. At 1300 the Korean flight appeared at the 18th tee. Shortly
after they finished their round our 3 ball appeared at the 18th tee and
eventually by 1330 Cannons assault of the course had been accomplished. The
Oldest Member made some comments about slow play in his flight.
11 intrepid golfers then adjourned to Kampong Bukit Tinggi to consume 220RM of
makan and 214 of minum, mostly Tiger. There being no pig knuckle available
Pork Ribs, Venison x2, S&S Chicken, Butter Prawns, Yam Basket, Baked Bringel
and Egg Fau yu x3 were served and as the members considered the price
excessive the landlord provided 2 large bottles of Tiger gratis.
With ProTem Convener Twan Andrew returning from Half Term Hols this week we
await his decision on the course for Tuesday Kajang Hills was mooted.

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.
Next week we will head south and play NILAI SPRINGS. After golf we will stay at the club for lunch. Please let Andrew Robinson know by email if you are playing and please be there by 7.30 hrs latest.
The were a couple of instances of late arrivals to mention. Richard overslept and arrived an hour late at the course so missed the first couple of holes. And Mohamed circumnavigated Rawang Town a few times on his way to the Equatorial….. And Mike and Dick, who joined us for lunch, had apparently been shuttling backwards and forwards through tunnels on the way to the Equatorial? They really should all instal Garfields?
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.
Next week we will play TASIK PUTERI and afterwards go to the EQUATORIAL RESTAURANT to celebrate Alan Holgate’s 75th birthday. For oenophiles, BYO. Doubtless Alan will dig out some fine bottles from his extensive cellers….. Please let me know asap if you intend to play and be there by 7.30am latest.
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.
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……..!
Next week’s game will be at Seri Selangor. Please be there by 7:00am to start.Please let Andrew Robinson know of your intention to play.
After the game we will follow Erol to ‘Betty’s’ Midwestern Kitchen for a slap-up lunch washed down with fine wines (Please BYO for all wine drinkers as Betty’s has no wine) to celebrate the RETURN OF MOSS!!!! Oh dear………! ALAN HOLGATE’S Birthday will be celebrated at the following week’s game.
