Report for Tuesday 30th March - Bukit Unggul


After 10 weeks of organising the Loose Cannons Tuesday game my spell of duty has come to an end, so I am off to Sid’s to celebrate!

I have actually enjoyed it, and the ‘Power of Convener’ is fantastic so I can fully understand why Mike wants it back. The whole thing went remarkably smoothly, until today that is but the less I say about that the better!

Also I haven’t very much positive to say about the whole Bukit Unggul experience, apart from the fact that it had reasonable greens. Perhaps this course should also be relegated to the ‘Leap Year’ group of courses, so I will leave it at that!

Fourteen people indicated intent & fourteen people turned up, - and on time I may add! Well done. 

Barry, my faithful assistant was missed today, but the money collection went quite smoothly, with only one person not having the correct change!

Thanks for your help over this period Barry, and you patented ‘Flight Selector’ device is now in the capable hands of Mr. Mike!

Today’s Outcome
Highest Stableford & Lowest Gross:- Mark Baker
Lowest Stableford:- Andrew Robinson
Highest Gross:- Mike Hughes.

As we only have one wooden spoon, Andrew & Mike can either split it or share it on alternate days over the next week!

Mark was unable to be present for the Trophy presentation, and thus forfeited his winnings to the ‘Kitty Pot’. Mike Smith has your trophy to be given on your next appearance Mark!
Mark will be playing off 14 next time out!
Erol Akinci came runner up and was cut 1 to 21.
It was Erol’s 60th birthday today, but he was very pensive and subdued. Don’t worry Erol 60 is now the new 40!


Total Results:

Alan Holgate 105/32
Andrew Robinson 96/26
Benhard Romahn 104/30
David Hughes 90/31
Erol Akinci 92/37
Ian Geekie 102/31
Mark Baker 86/39
Michael Hughes 110/28
Mike Smith 95/31
Paul Atkinson 89/32
Ray Funnell 98/32
Raymond Keys 101/31
Stuart Taylor 90/33
Tony Morris 92/29

The votes for last ‘Tuesday’s Tosser’ were pathetic with only 7 votes cast, this was despite me giving a warning with EIGHT hours of voting left, that there would be a RM5 fine for any of last week ‘Tourists’ who did not vote.

Four people duly paid their RM5 fine today & only ONE whined about it!

There will be a RM5 prize for the first person (who wasn’t playing today) to sms me with the correct name of the person who they think whined!!!!

As the Loose Cannons group had become very old and extremely boring, there was a ‘significant majority’ decision to abandon this little bit of fun on a Tuesday!

I guess there is little point in ‘polling’ the whole membership on the subject as most people couldn’t be arsed to cast their vote!!! So here endeth the ‘Tuesday Tosser’!

‘Whinger of the Month’ for second consecutive month….well you all know who it was!

Finances:

Monies in RM900 + Carry Over RM458 + extra collection RM240 = RM1,598
Monies out Golf RM750 + M&M RM545. Total out RM1,295.
Carry over RM303 [Mike I will pass it to you on my return] 

First call for next week….please respond to Mike after he sends out his announcement, as I will ignore any replies to my inbox.

Mike has kindly agreed to ‘Re-Convenership’, and states that all the good changes introduced during his absence will be abandoned, well hopefully not all of them….we shall see!

Over & Out
