Results - Nilai Springs - 12th January 2016

We had a large turnout today at Nilai Springs with 24 players starting from the Mango nine then playing the Island nine on the return. Weather was hot and sunny and with the recent spell of dry weather the course was fairly dry but still in pretty good condition. With a 6 flight start on one nine and a few slower Korean players up front it was a slow round but we eventually all finished and then took lunch at the East of Highway Restaurant on the return to KL. We had 21 showing up for lunch so we had two tables at the restaurant - one of the best turnouts in a long while.

Welcome to a new player today, introduced by Mike Smith - Greg Sturgess.

Results - Nilai Springs Golf & Country Club - 1st December 2015

Weather conditions were really good for today's game at Nilai Springs with 15 Loose Cannon's players heading out on Pine and Island 9's at 8:00am. The course was somewhat wet and boggy in places but the greens were in great shape. Being in the first 3-ball we finished early but the other 3 flights of 4 took a little longer held up by some other players on the course.

We had lunch at the East of Highway Restaurant with 10 of us making it there for a slightly over-ordered volume of food.

Welcome to Mike Smith's guest today, David Evans, who has just retired so may be joining us more often now.

Report

We had 23 Loose Cannons this week at Nilai Springs with a tee time booked on 2 tee-boxes at 8:00am. After a tedious and rather inefficient check in process with volumes of paperwork and receipts that fully explain the deforestation in Malaysia we all headed out to our buggies. With 6 flights we had 3 flights aligned for separate tee boxes on Pines and Island nines. However our Flight No 1 decided to not listen to the instructions given and they tee'd off from the incorrect tee box so being the last on that 9 we decided to move over to the Island 9 to tee off. Reaching there we found our 3 flights backed up and then additional 2 balls trying to squeeze in. When asked these 2 balls said they also had a tee time of 8:00am ... the same as us. I took the starter to task on this and asked him to sort this out but in the usual Malaysian fashion he did nothing so I needed up taking him to the front desk and complaining .... still nothing happened. This is so typical of Malaysian organisation and very frustrating for anyone trying to arrange a large group like we have. I will be avoiding this course for future games if this is the treatment we get.

So with my blood pressure somewhere in the region of 220/110 our last group eventually tee'd off on the Island 9 at 8:30 or so.

The course had obviously had a lot of rain recently and was rather wet and soggy but the greens were excellent. We managed good time and were not held up further so finished around 1pm. 

Most of us then moved onto Dengkil Seafood Restaurant for an excellent lunch and some much needed beer.

Results
