Results - Amverton Cove - 29th December 2015

For the last Loose Cannon's game of 2015 and the Trophy Game for December we played at Amverton Cove. We originally had 4 full flights but due to tow last minute pull-outs we had 14. We teed off on split 9's and the pace was very good for the first 9 holes .... after the turn some Tan Sri and local sultan had cut in in front of the groups and the last 9 holes were rather slow. However the course was in good shape and the weather was fine.

Post game we ate lunch at the usual restaurant at the bridge close to the club - food was good (well ordered Iain Wise) and a suitable quantity of liquid amber was consumed.

Ray Funnell will be resigning as Convenor - many thanks Ray for all the good work this year - and Mike Smith will be taking over the helm as of 1st 2016 aided by myself, Stuart Taylor, to do the handicapping and Iain Wise to do the monies.

Results

Our December Trophy winner was Jeff Pearce with an excellent 40 points (gross of 88) with Geoff McLaws runner up (again!) with the best gross of the day of 77 and 39 points. Full results below:

Results - Bukit Unggul - 22nd December 2015

14 golfers wearing their Xmas hats and some smiles (pics attached) started a little late as a result of a bad accident on the highway, which delayed several players. Weather was excellent , course played well . The course was busy, which caused a slow back 9. 

The winner, with an excellent 81 for 45 points was Tony Morris.  Well done. Bernard Rohman also had a 81 but for 40 points. Bernard scored 36 gross on the front 9. ....wheels "juddered" on the back. Full results below:

Tony kindly donated his winnings into the pot-- Must be Xmas.. !!   Ray put in some vouchers and a cheap lunch and beers was enjoyed by those that stayed. 

Loose Cannons Annual Xmas Lunch - Coliseum Cafe - 16th December 2015

Once again the Loose Cannons group descended upon the Coliseum in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman for the annual Xmas luncheon. We had 19 attendees who assembled in the bar for pre-lunch drinks prior to moving through to the rear to our lunch table. Andrew Robinson made some excellent opening remarks with a toast to departed friends (Murray Preston and Gordon Wingate and setting out the ground rules for the day's festivities. Various dress code fines were administered as was a fine for the worst bottle of wine brought along (well done Robert Mulliss!). 

It was interesting to note that the cumulative age of the 19 attendees was 1,234 years making the average age of the Loose Cannons group attending 65.

Lunch was the usual fare (prawn cocktail, pumpkin & carrot soup, steak pie and ice cream) washed down with much wine and some whisky to finish off. During the course of the lunch we were entertained by numerous jokes and songs by the group, many of which we had heard before, but were none-the-less most welcome.

Below are some photos from the day's festivities .... which look remarkably like the photos from the year before .... and the year before that ......
