39 golfers registered at Gading Raya for what turned out to be a rain free day of golf on a near perfect course with greens and fairways as good as you’ll get anywhere in Jakarta.
Joseph Peries squeezed the management down to an unbeatable Rp 660k green fee including carts. Many thanks once again to Joseph.
The course Starters and Marshals did a great job as they were fully booked in the morning’s session and again in the afternoon with Mr Lee’s 10 groups and Tee Set’s 10 groups but all got through the day without any major dramas with the Committee doing a sterling job in getting everyone registered, paired up and out onto the course close to our allocated tee time.
Unfortunately a few of our players had to leave prior to the award of prizes but ultimately the treasurer did not complain about this.
Recently retired ex President Ric found that 6 cans of beer really does help his game – finishing with an amazing 38 on the back nine after some very ordinary golf on the front. Wait for the screams of sand bagger from Gary Selby.

OTHER NEWS
Sadly we must say goodbye to Monica Slavin who is taking up a new assignment outside of Indonesia. Her introduction to Tee Set was just over a year ago when we were playing Big Sawangan. The sight of the Benders and friends breaking open bottles of JD before ending the breakfast of nasi goring may have been a little daunting to the new arrival but Monica took it all onboard and eventually went on to rack up a very impressive 24 games for the year. Monica has asked me to pass on her goodbyes to all her friends in Tee Set and hope to meet up again in the future.
Many of our flock will start the end of year holiday break this week so for those going away for Christmas, have a safe journey and we look forward to having you back safe and sound next year. For the others who are staying, I look forward to seeing you at Pondok Cabe this Sunday.
Regards
Geoff Thwaites
