Results – Staffield – 8th June 2010

12 Cannons enjoyed a well presented Staffield on an overcast and pleasantly cool morning. The scoring was good across the field and the only thing to spoil the days enjoyment were a group of Koreans encountered on the second nine who were horibly slow and held us up for 5 holes before the marshal intervened. Nevertheless, the leading group were round in 3 hrs 35 mins.
The winner was Klaus Kretzschmar with 44 points; cut 8 strokes and the runner-up was Bernhard Romahn with 40 points; cut 1 stroke. The lowest gross was 88 by Joe Zorich who returns to the USA later this week and the most golf was played by Barry Cousins returning after his back problems. Bon voyage Joe and welcome back Barry.
M&M was taken at Mantin and excellent it was.

Results – Tasik Puteri – 1st June 2010

Only 10 Cannons turned out Tuesday at a rather quiet Tasik Puteri. We played the 2nd & 3rd nines (in reverse order) which were in very good order and most found it a stiff test. I don’t know what’s going on at TP but they are making some subtle changes to the course with the result that it’s no longer the benine track it once was. They have nice new buggies and a lot of new maintenance equipment and the rough is being thickened and lengthened to punish any wayward drives. With fairly quick greens and some devilish pin positions it was a real challenge.

The winner with 38 points was Hans Berger; cut 4 strokes and the runner-up Peter jackson with 37 points; cut 1 stroke. The lowest gross was Joe Zorich with 88 and the most golf was played by Tom Holmes.

After the game we retired to the Equatorial where the usual excellent makan was enjoyed. There was however one absentee; Bernard Rohmahn. Bernard has a directional problem as we all know but this takes the biscuit. Having asked to follow Andrew because he wasn’t sure of the directions (actually he has been to the Equatorial before) he did so until the penultimate set of lights at which point Andrew indicated right and turned into the Petronas station to avoid the trafffic tail back ahead but Bernard didn’t follow and was never seen again. Where did you go Bernard? So that we can contact you and “talk you down” in the future please let us know your mobile # as we missed your company and you missed a good lunch.

Results – Nilai Springs – 25th May 2010

Results – Perangsang Templer Park Golf Club – 18th May 2010

Just 7 golfers showed up at Perangsang Templer for this weeks game.  The course was wet and played long with no run on the ball, and the greens were in the main slow and bumpy.  This is reflected in the scores – which most of us would prefer to forget………
The winner was Bernhard Romahn with 33 points, cut 4, and the runner-up Hans Berger, cut 1.  Lowest gross was Andrew Robinson with 97 and the most golf was played by Mike Hughes with 121. Full details as follows:
1. Bernhard Romahn – 102/33
2. Hans ‘ratten’ Berger – 101/30
3. Andrew Robinson – 97/28
4. Tom Holmes – 109/28
5. Rein Li Tan – 106/26
6. Alan Holgate – 115/25
7. Mike Hughes – 121/19
Apres golf was taken at the RSC Kiara Sports Annex.  Bernhard had to miss lunch due to some ‘business or other’ and so forfeited his winnings which went into the lunch pool, thank you Bernhard!  Following lunch at the poolside terrace the stragglers made there way to the Pavilion Bar for further libation…………ho hum
Quote of the day – Mike Hughes….’Another Top Ten Finish!!’
And Hans described in great detail how he has copious records of his golfing exploits going back to 1998 – with scores, putts, graphs and so on. Extraordinary behavior……..
Mike will confirm arrangements for next Tuesdays game – which is the monthly Trophy Game!
