Results - Staffield Country Resort - 27th December 2012


Report

On a beautiful morning 17 players, after 2 Cannon withdrawls, including a flight of guests, teed off from 2 boxes, with a prompt start at 0745 hrs. The staff at Staffield was very helpful and the benefit of pre registration certainly helped us with the start, as our buggies had been separated and we teed off before the other flights. 

The course was in its usual excellent condition, especially the greens, but some areas, especially around the greens were inevitably a little soggy. 

Unfortunately only 15 players completed their rounds, as apparently it was getting too warm.  After the recent deluges, personally, good to see the sun shining. 

The winner on the day was Jeff Pearce with 95 gross for 41 points - cut 5 . Gordon Wingate got in the frame for the first time with 88 for 40 points - cut 1. Jeff won it on the last hole, as on the last box he was all square with Ray, who inexplicably put 2 drives into the lake....!! Lowest gross was Geoff P. with 82.

Results - Bukit Unggul Golf Resort - 18th December 2012


Report

This was the annual Xmas game with all LC's required to adorn some festive hats .... traditionally Santa hats or antlers, but this year we saw some new hat styles being used. It was a merry band of 12 festive Loose Cannons golfers who headed out on an initial drizzly morning over the rolling hills of Bukit Unggul. The course condition was very good, albeit slightly wet in places, the weather remained overcast and cool and with no one to hold up play we made good time round the 18 holes and were back in the clubhouse around midday for lunch and beverages.

Ray Funnel kindly arranged for some additional novelty prizes (2 sleeves of golf balls) for two NTP's on the par-3 holes number 2 and 14, plus a pleasant surprise gift for the runner up.

The winner was Andre Holm with 89 and 42 points. The runner up was Stuart Taylor with 91 and 41 points who received a rather nice bottle of whisky which he kindly opened up during lunch for any takers. Andre is cut 6 and Stuart cut 5.

Lowest gross was Ted Parslow with 87. Most golf was Dick Staufer with 115 who was welcomed back after a long time away from our LC outings.
