We are playing the East Course and will play from the white tees. There is an excellent course summary and guide here for those wanting to study the course over the weekend prior to the game: http://www.klgcc.com/golf_course_east.aspx

We had originally planned to have lunch at the Royal Selangor Sports Annexe next door as Tony is a member there but unfortunately as Tony is unable to play due to dengue fever (get well soon Tony!) we will have lunch at SID’s Pub, Damansara Heights which is 5 mins away from the club.

Results – Staffield – 8th July 2014

Report
Conditions at Staffield this morning were perfect – weather clear with blue skies and a light breeze at times – and the course was in very good shape after the many months of green renovation which has taken this venue off the Loose Cannon’s circuit for some time.
We had 17 players today, with 2 late-comers arriving just as the group had re-adjusted flights and were heading off to the 1st tee …. so please a reminder to everyone please arrive in time before the tee-time to allow ample time for registration, payment, etc and if you are running late please send a text or call to inform.
Other than the last 4 ball we were all finished in very good time today arriving back at the clubhouse at just after 11:30am. We took lunch at the club after the game and Brian Stubbs kindly sponsored all the drinks in celebration of his birthday …. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brian … cheers!
Results
Some good scores as usual at Staffield but the clear winner with an excellent 43 points and gross of 88 (40 gross on the back nine!!) was Erol Akinci .. well done Erol. Second was Stuart Taylor with 84 and 39 points on count back from Robert Mulliss, also 39 points with a gross of 98.
Best gross of the day was Sean Niven (playing off a handicap of 1) with 75.

Congratulations to Brian Stubbs for winning the inaugural Gordon Wingate Memorial Trophy held at Tropicana on 2nd July 2014. He won with a gross of 94 and 39 Stableford points. The day was very successful with 23 participating golfers who played the East 1 and East 2 courses under great conditions. Greens were fast and tricky to say the least.
Nancy Wingate is pleased to announce that a total of RM3,020 was raised for the Malaysian Heart Foundation.
Thanks to all who played and to all of the wonderful contributions of money and prizes which made this event highly successful. We all look forward to next year’s event and a chance to get our name on the trophy.

As Kota Permai are hollow tining all their greens starting next week we WILL NOT be playing Kota Permai. We have now confirmed 5 flights at Staffield next Tuesday at 7:45am. Therefore please be at the club by 7:15 latest for registration and payment. Costs will be cheaper as Staffield has a good Ramadan rate ….. cost will be RM100 for green fees/buggy/insurance. Caddies are available at an extra cost of RM48 for those who want to have a caddy – so I will leave this to individuals to get themselves.
As the usual lunch venue in Mantin closeby to Staffield is no more in operation then I propose we will eat at the clubhouse post game.

Results – Templer Park – 1st July 2014

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, templer parkLeave a comment
There were only 12 players at this week’s game, probably due to this time of year when many are away on leave. I was also out of play today as having just had some surgery on my voice box  last week decided to rest up. I will be back next week although running in “silent mode”. However as it was Ramadan there was a special rate for this fine course hence the reason to play here. 
Winner of the day was Tony Morris with a gross of 91 for 35 points. Glenn Sargeant scored 93 for 37 points but as he has as yet an unverified handicap and not played the requisite 5 games so he cannot win unfortunately. Second was Tom Holmes (welcome back Tom!) with 87 for 34 points. Full results below:

Next Game

Next week we will tentatively be playing at Kota Permai, again making use off the special Ramadan rates. Barry Cousins will be booking the flights this Thursday and I will confirm arrangements by email.

Results – Amverton Cove – 24th June 2014

Report
It was a hazy day for the Trophy Game at Amverton Cove this week with 15 Loose Cannons turning up to play. We teed off sharp 8:00am from 2 tee boxes and we all completed the round by 12:00pm – so no real holdups at all today. The course was in good shape apart from some obvious bare patches next to the fairway which should be attended to … and the fairways although good are in need of some rain soon. The greens were in good shape and running fairly true.
Results
There were some good scores posted today but the clear winner today posting a gross 72 with 41 points was Jason Winter – well done Jason on a great scratch round! Second was Geoff McLaws with a gross 77 and 39 points and a worthy mention for Peter Davies, who has seen improved performance over the last few weeks doing in 3rd position with 98 for 37 points. Full results below:
