So, the first Monthly Medal of the new year, and we are back to our old base at Pangkalan Jati in a one off exercise before moving on to Senayan International for the February and thereafter Medal events.

In a welcome development, the Medal will in future consist of two parts, the V Door Monthly Stableford Medal and the Slaney’s Butchery Net Medal with great prizes from each to spice up our Sundays! We have an extensive list of generous sponsors supporting our activities and it is great to have the V Door and Slaneys Butchery amongst their number.

PJ is of course like a comfortable old pair of slippers, you know they have seen better times, are a little outdated and showing signs of wear but, hell, they are so comfortable and familiar you could never throw them away. Only a wife could do that.

The last time we played in our slippers saw some fine scoring from Sam, Mark Blake and James Ross but the highlight was surely the very rich, Treasurer pleasing, crop of 9 skirts; we captured seven of them for posterity.

Perhaps not unrelated to that rich crop of skirts is the difference in distance between the reds and blues at PJ, something which comes in at a staggering 1,064 metres. Nice one, Ladies.

The tee time we have been give is 11:30 as usual, though with every chance of getting away a little earlier, so don’t cut it too fine, Wina.

Green Fees etc including shared cart are a wallet-lite 565,000 or just 375,000 walking. If you intend playing then, if you haven’t done so already, please register here.

See yah, Sunday!! … Tee Set

PS for those of you who like to play twice at weekends, please know that the DOGs and HOGS are playing Senayan International on Saturday and would welcome your support in a day dedicated to raising money for the HOGS own support of Indonesian kids unfortunate enough to have been born with cleft lip and/or palate. This is a truly life transforming activity and deserves your support. Please register here if you can play.

Tee Set will be holding a similar day in support of the HOGS in March on a date to be confirmed,
