Results - Bukit Unggul Golf & Country Club - 30th April 2012


Cannons all,

We played on Monday this week as Tuesday is a public holiday and we returnd to Bukit Unggul as we haven't played there in a while.

BU is in a great setting but the lack of general maintenance lets the place down. Basically it's falling to bits. The nice new buggies are welcome and the F&B is OK but the course itself still needs a lot of TLC. The greens were nice. 
 
Only 9 LC's turned out today, the smallest number since our last game here in January. Is that a coincidence? With wonderful weather and light traffic the leading flight were round in 3 hours......would have been quicker if we hadn't been held up on the back 9. 
  
The winner was Vincent Vijayan with 37 points and the R/Up was Ray Funnell with 36 points. The lowest gross was 89 by Hans Berger and the most golf played was 114 by Alan Holgate just returned from painting his apartment.

Vincent is cut 4 strokes and Ray 1 stroke.

Results - KGSAAS - 24th April 2012


Cannons all,

KGSAAS remains a very nice, well run golf club despite the continuing rumours about it's future. Even the 'members' seem unsure as to how the club is to be redeveloped. Money is being spent on general maintenance of the course including several stretches of new concrete buggy track and drains as well as improvements to the greens. This hopefully bodes well for it's near term longevity.
12 LC's; a rather poor turnout, contested the April Medal on a bright morning under high cloud on a course in lovely condition. A light breeze helped keep everyone cool and with light traffic we were all round in good time.  

The winner was Mike Smith with 42 points on the day + 2 bonus points for a total of 44. R/Up was Mark Baker with 43 points + 0 bonus points for a total of 43. The lowest gross was 84 by Geoff McLaws and the most golf played was 116 by Richard Moss..

Mike Smith is cut 6 strokes and Mark Baker 1 stroke.

Results - Tasik Puteri Golf & Country Club - 17th April 2012

Cannons all,
 
Tasik Puteri was in excellent condition or should I say the course was in excellent condition; the management less so. With 2 flights sent to the Tasik 9 which was advertised as OPEN and so confirmed by the lady Starter, we were informed on the first tee by a Bangla grass cutter that it was closed and this was later confirmed by the giggling Starter, but with one flight already approaching the first green the damage had already been done. By the time we back tracked to the Puteri 9 several other flights were already waiting and we were delayed, eventually starting on the 6th.
 
With very nice weather and good playing conditions the 15 LC's that turned up enjoyed a relatively low scoring round. 

The winner was Andrew Robinson with 43 points and the runner up was Tony Morris with 40 points. The lowest gross was 85 by Geoff McLaws and the most golf was played jointly by Ray Funnell and Barry Cousins who both shot 109. Andrew is cut 7 strokes and Tony 1 stroke. 
The full results can be found in the attachment.
 
Apres golf M&M was taken at the Equatorial where the food was at it's usual high standard but only enjoyed by 10 LC's.
