"Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose."

Results - Staffield - 30th December 2014


Report

Given all the rain over the last few days and many cases of bad flooding it was a surprise his morning to get a clear few hours in a pleasant and cool air to complete our last Loose Cannons game for the year. Staffield was in good condition considering al the rain we have suffered and although the greens were slow on the first 9 by the second 9 they were running a lot faster.

We had 14 players on the day with unfortunately 2 no shows at the last minute so it was 2 x 3-balls and 2 x 4 balls. We were all back in the clubhouse by about 1pm as it was fairly leisurely getting around due to other slower 4 balls in front.

7 of the players made it to an excellent lunch at East of the Highway Restaurant with Richard Moss joining us. Iain Wise celebrating his 100th game kindly fronted up the drinks money - thank you Iain.


Results

The winner with an excellent 42 points (gross of 88 was Jeff Pearce who was duly awarded the December Trophy. Runner up was Iain Wise with 39 points (92 gross).

We had two players who did not turn in scores so it must be reminded that each flight should ensure that their scores be submitted. Ideally one member of the flight should be responsible for compiling all the scores on one card for ease of submission.

It must also be mentioned to all players that if there any dispute or contention of scores or question of any rules infringement at any point during the game that this should be resolved by the players in that flight at that time and on the hole in question. If this cannot be resolved by the players then the issue should be raised to the Convenor after the game. There is is no point in trying to deal with an incorrect score or rules infringement at a later stage. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Results - Bangi Golf Club - 23rd December 2014

Report

19 players attended on a wet morning. Registrations was easily completed and we played the Kajang and Bangi Nines. About half the players came adorned with red hats. During the second nine the rain became heavy resulting in several cannons heading for the club house. Those that continued on recorded very respectable scores. The winner was Geoff Parslow with a par round of 72 for a massive 45 points. Runner up was Ray Funnel with a 92 for 42 points.

Due to the rain delays and Christmas commitments only 6 attended the excellent lunch at the East of Highway restaurant. In Geoff’s absence from the lunch it was good of him in true Christmas spirit  to donate his winnings back to the kitty.

Many thanks to Iain Wise for doing the arrangements on the day at the club.

Results - Impian Saujana - 16th December 2014


Report

Weather conditions today at Impian Saujana were perfect with beautiful blue skies and sunshine as18 of us headed out on split tee boxes at 8:00am. We had one new player join us this week; Peter May introduced by Jeff Pearce and the return of a veteran player; Allan Wright making it a total of flights (2 x 3 balls and 3 x 4 balls).

Course condition was very good except the greens which had unfortunately been recently hollow tined and sanded and had not been rolled. They were very bumpy, sandy and unpredictable making putting a bit of a lottery.

Henning Therkelsen managed a trick shot today managing to hit his ball into his partners' buggy, lodging in the front tray .... see photograph below. 

We were finished by 12:30 to 1pm and then 13 of the 18 players had lunch at the very good Ken Well Seafood Restaurant. Unfortunately Hans Berger got lost again and aborted. ... next time follow someone as this restaurant is a little tricky to find.

Results

Some very good scores today on this course with 6 players playing better than handicap. We had 3 players on 40 then Robert Mulliss, runner up with an excellent 41 points. However the winner with a magnificent 45 points and gross of 87 was Mike Smith. Well done Mike! He started his round with two blobs so just imagine if he had scored there also! The vasectomy kit will be out and applied to his handicap shortly .... ;)

Henning Therkelsen managed to hit his ball into his partner's buggy. It was lodged in the front tray of the buggy making it rather impossible to play ..... an unplayable lie was declared for 1 penalty stroke .... bad luck Henning!











Yes again Andrew Cseszko wins the "best attired" golfer award.
