KINRARA REPORT-26-11-2024

Cannon’s,

The last game of November was held at Kinrara Golf Club. With the rainy season kicking off it was the last opportunity to play Kinrara, but unfortunately, the course was already quite soggy, especially our first nine (10 to 18th), with some problems finding balls on the fairways and around the greens and the worst was the conditions of the greens, and that can be improved by the club, but you know, for me we have to see the positive side, having the opportunity to be able to play golf, and how fortunate we are with our lifestyle, and I really appreciate that. The low scores we all had, reflected the hard course conditions we faced, turning our round quite challenging, bringing out all our skills to score some points. David Lake tried to make his game easier, playing his third shot on the hole 10th to the footgolf hole, and scoring his first eagle. Clive Gordon also played his third game, and it was nice to see him again, after recovering from eye surgery, but he still has a good enough eye site to play the right golf holes, not the footgolf holes, ah hahaha… The winner today was Ricardo Castro with a safe score of 81 for 32 points, the second was David Lake with 107 for 29, and in third place was our guest Clive Gordon with 95 for 28 points. Five of us, headed to East of Highway restaurant for lunch. David Lake played his 5th game and now is a full-LC member. With these final results, for the monthly competition Martin is the November, champion, well done!!

NILAI SPRINGS REPORT-19-11-2024

Cannon’s,

Back to Nilai to play Mango and Island nines, with overcast weather, sunny and blue sky after one hour, cloudy again, and some heavy rain with three holes to finish, with a need to take shelter for only 20 minutes. We were able to start the game before the big group and we had a smooth round. The course was in good condition, with nice greens, even with all the rain from the night before, the course recovered quite well. The winner today was Ricardo Castro with a solid 78 for 35 points, followed by Helmut Dicknoether and WL Chia with a nice 33 points. David Lake played the fourth game with a nice score of 31 points. With these results, in the monthly competition, Martin Middleton stays in first place with a strong score of 77 points, second, Ricardo Castro with 74, and in third place, Fritz Katzengruber with 72.

Cheers

STAFFIELD REPORT-12-11-2024

Cannon’s,

Back to Staffield, the course and greens were in great condition and playing nicely. The weather was hot, humid, and sometimes overcast.

BANGI REPORT-05-11-2024

Cannon’s,

The first game of November was held at Bangi with three full flights, all starting earlier from Bangi Nine, and crossing over to Kajang Nine. The pace was smooth and fast, and all the flights finished before noon. The weather was hot and dry, with a nice blue sky, dry fairways, and tricky but nice greens. The winner today was our “Singaporean” member with an impressive 88 for 42 points, second place was David Evans also with an impressive score of 96 for 41 points, and in third place was Fritz Katzengruber with another solid score of 89 for 40 points. Overall and following the good course conditions, only two players didn’t score more than 30 points, which shows our members’ level and game quality. Josef Winter played his last game this year as in 2 weeks he will participate in the famous Phuket Triathlon competition, we all wish him a successful participation, and after that, we will fly back to Germany to enjoy Christmas together with his family. We returned for lunch to the Kajang Fei Chui restaurant, where eight of us had a great meal with special and delicious dishes such as the famous Barbecue Pork Ribs, Tofu with pumpkin sauce, and famous fried house. Ricardo Castro contributed 200.00 Rm to celebrate his birthday plus 120.00 rm from the LC kitty and we all had a great lunch together. This place is a must from time to time to pay a visit. See you guys next week at Staffield.

IMPIAN REPORT-29-10-2024

Cannon’s,

The last game of October was held at Impian, which had hot weather and great course conditions, with flights one and two starting on hole # 10 and three on hole # 1. The course was very dry, making long distances if you landed on the fairways. The winner today was the local member, Roland Steiner with an excellent 87 for 39 points, giving the local knowledge a big advantage, second was Ricardo Castro (lowest gross of 77) and Josef Winter booth with 36 points, followed by Tony with a solid 95 for 34 points. With these results, Iain Wise is the October champion with 76 points, Fritz Katzengruber second with 75 and Ricardo Castro closes the podium with 72 points. For the LCOTY, Ricardo Castro is in an excellent position to claim again first place with 118 points, the second is Bernhard Romahn with 88, and in third place is Jose Winter with 82 points, so now for the remaining two months the battle continuous to fight for the places between 2nd to 7th. For lunch, we tried the restaurant Siaw Kah, but the food was not so great and we had to buy beer from another place, but anyway, always good to try new restaurants to increase our options for lunch. We had a late birthday celebration and thank you to Reinli Tan for his 200.00 rm contribution to the beer bill. Next week let’s welcome November playing the Bangi course.

BKT KEMUNING REPORT-22-10-2024

Cannon’s

On hole one, three full flights started on time. It was a sunny day with a blue sky, and it was getting very hot and dry all morning. The course was in good condition, with dry fairways that made the ball run a lot and have funny bounces, and nice but firm greens. On some holes, the blue flag was in a difficult position, making the approach quite challenging, but overall the course conditions opened the opportunity for a good round of golf, as expressed in the final results with big numbers. Espen Dalland played his second game and the highlight of the day was Helmut’s Birthday celebration, and he contributed 300.00 Rm for our lunch, and Jim Stevenson had his prize for the September champion. The winner today was Dave Evans with a solid 99 for 40 points, followed by Iain Wise with a nice 92 for 39 points, and he still complaining about his hdc of 23, in third place was our overseas member, Frans Bakker, who baked a nice score of 89 for 38 points. With these results, in the October competition, Iain Wise is now the new leader with 76 points, second Fritz Katzengruber with 75, and in third place, with 70 points, Ricardo Castro and Martin Middleton. For lunch, we tried a new restaurant (Makanan Laut Robin), only 6 minutes from the club, and the food was good, with nice cool beers, and this time Martin Middleton came to the right restaurant. See you guys next week at Impian.

Cheers

KOTA SERIEMAS REPORT-15-10-2024

Cannon’s,

Two full flights started on hole # ten, 15 minutes before our booking tee time, avoiding the Jumbo flights and a large tournament. The weather was overcast with a lot of black clouds, but luckily we only had a few minutes of little rain, and very humid. Even with all the rain from the last few days, surprisingly the course was quite dry with firm fairways, making long rolls and nice greens, but slow, and some sandy. We had one more guest David Lake, playing his first game with us, and he got one LC sleeve of balls as a welcome gift. The winner today, was again Fritz Katzengruber with a solid 92 for 38 points, followed by Iain Wise with a nice 95 for 37 points, and in third place Martin Middleton with 96 for 33 points. With these results, the monthly competition is led by Fritz Katzengruber with 75 points, second with 70 points are Ricardo Castro and Iain Wise followed by Bernhard Romahn with 65 points. Lunch at the usual restaurant Sek Hao Fu in Nilai, with a nice food selection, chosen by David Cheung, and nice cool beers, but Martin Middleton, even with my email and in the morning we all were talking with him about the restaurant location, guess what happened……… Martin ended up at East of Highway restaurant. I understand sometimes people forget things, but every week many guys don’t know how much they have to pay, what flights are they on, where is the lunch and to be honest I feel quite disappointed with this lack of interest in reading the emails after all my efforts to send out all the details. Regarding the payment please try your best to bring the right amount, otherwise, the balance will stay with me to deduct on our lunch bill. See you all next Tuesday at Bukit Kemuning.

Cheers
