Results - Bukit Kemuning Golf & Country Resort - 10th February 2015


Report

Bukit Kemuning was dry for a change and the weather fine so it was a pleasant morning as 17 Cannons set off from two tee boxes at around 8:00am. Course condition was quite good although the greens on the back 9 were quite sandy on the first few holes and most greens were a little unpredictable and bumpy (still didn't explain my consistently bad putting form today!). The course plays quite long with the 508m Par 5 16th being in my view one of the most boring holes to play. Most of us made good time around the course and we were back to the clubhouse in 4 hours - the last 4 ball however was around 1 hour behind everyone else.

We lunched at the nearby O&S Restaurant (formerly the old Fu Yuen Restaurant) after the game.


Results

We only had 2 players better than handicap today with the winner Robert Mulliss on 41 points (gross of 99) and runner up was Hans Berger with 37 points and gross of 93. Bets gross of the day was Andrew Cseszko with an 81.

Results - Berjaya Hills - 4th February 2015


Report

It was a very cool and overcast day at Bukit Tinggi making it a very pleasant morning's golf .... it was almost bordering on the cold side dare I say! 17 players in 5 flights headed out from staggered tee boxes and most made it round by 12:30pm or so. It stayed overcast and cool for the whole morning and in fact during our last few holes we had some drizzly rain.

Welcome to a new player this week - Charles Blanchet introduced by Roger Surieux and also a welcome to Tony's guest Iain visiting from UK. A big welcome back to Glen returning to Loose Cannons after a lengthy period off convalescing from his appendicitis op.

The course was unfortunately looking somewhat untidy and unkempt and the greens a bit bumpy so is really in need of some attention. They seem to be digging up and clearing many areas next to the course which makes it look unsightly.

After the game we headed back down the hill to Kampong Bukit Tinggi and Restoran 126 for some lunch and beers kindly sponsored by Allan McNicoll who was celebrating his 100th game with Cannons.

Results

The winner today was Stuart Taylor with 39 points (and best gross of 83) with runner up Tony Morris on 38 points (89 gross). Full results below:
