The Day
High numbers again this week when Tee Set showed again it could survive notable absences. Thanks to Vice Presidents Mel and Ric, ably supported by Beby, taking charge and doing a great job. Big thanks too to Pascal for starting off the registrations until the cavalry arrived and for taking some great photos of the day, see more here.
Welcome back after long absences to Tony, Tim, Jeff, Marcus and Jason. Welcome also to Axel’s brothers visiting Jakarta; they clearly enjoyed their Sunday with Tee Set.
The Play
Firstly congratulations to Joseph for shooting par off the stick and winning Low Gross. Par rounds are very rare in Tee Set and to have 6 in the field shooting 80 or less on a championship course is fine golf. Among them, Neil Mullins is continuing his fine form shooting a 67 net to win Low Net A Grade and claim victory in his match against Stuart. Craig Edwards was again in the money winning Low Net B with 70, and the round of the day of a net 66 enabled King “Luar Biasa” Tirto to win Net C Grade and claim a strong 6 and 5 victory against current Monthly Medal champ Andrew in the first round of the matchplay.
Among other prizes were regulars Bas (Jaturoporn) with first Birdie, showing he can move between prize categories, Jonathan with Most Improved (he must have been OB, so claimed here by Ric), Ricardo with first sandy (as Joseph had won Low Gross), Rasmus for Lowest Putts with an excellent 26 (good chipping?) and it looks like King again for 1st Par over 30, although on our one prize policy it perhaps should have been Malty, so he is honoured here instead.
A modest harvest of 7 skirts this week, with some well known faces among the cross dressers. Chris doubled up to also wear the Monster Putter mask, 7 putts ahead of the competition with 47 putts….it just wouldn’t go in?
Matchplay
The first matches were scheduled this week. Follow the competition here.
King beat Andrew 6 and 5 – King played his best game in many years, wasted no time and was already 3 up after the first 6 holes but Andrew managed to find the fairways for a few holes and hold him steady until King won the first 4 holes of the back nine, establishing an insurmountable lead of 6 up with 5 holes to go. Andrew suffering medallist hangover was left counting lost balls, wondering where King found his inspiration, and steeling himself for a comeback in the next round.
Other matches did not offer match reports (these are welcome!!). Neil beat Stuart 5 and 3; in a battle of the gentlemen Jiro beat Mike 2 and 1, and Roger outlasted Chris with another 2 and 1 result, no doubt hearing some fine cursing along the way.

Tee Set 
Hi,
You mention in the below post you would like match reports for the matchplay?
In my match against Neil, he raced to a two up lead in the first two holes but I managed to pull back to all square by the 5th. Neil was playing perfect fairways and greens golf and I only managed to stay in touch on the front nine due to Neil not taking advantage of several birdie putts.
However, Neil par’d the first 6 holes of the back nine and by the time he made his first birdie it was already all over. Neil shot a back nine 38 that could easily been a 35 or 34 had a few putts dropped him.
A well deserved victory by Neil.

Sorry, I just noticed a typo. In the third paragraph I meant to write by the time Neil made his first bogey, not birdie.
