The Day

Thunder, lightning and heavy rain could not dampen the spirits of the 69 Tee Setters who made the trip to Sentul Highlands, a course that has become one of our absolute favourites and is getting better all the time. A shot gun start off 9 tee boxes helped kick us off but the rain soon delayed play.

While many brave hearts battled the elements to complete their rounds, many opted for the comfort of the clubhouse or better still the pool at the course-side villa, where some loud “cheers of encouragement” could be heard.

An executive decision by match referee and Former Immediate Past President of Everything limited the competition to the first 12 holes.  Sure there were some cries of foul but generally everyone was more than happy to enjoy themselves and multiple prizes helped soften the blow.

Lots of newcomers (pictured here: Frank, Stefan, Rolf, Jetse, Jesus)  and welcome backs including our friends from the DOGS after more than two years, well….. until the pool was a better option (above). Welcome back too Johan – in action in the bunker here.

And a very special welcome back to our VP Exotic Drinks, who is shown here mixing some killer pre-game margaritas.

Thanks also to everyone for their patience, to the staff at Sentul who were amazing (!) and to Former President Geoff to ease Brenda’s stress, VP Mel, Lis and Ric as usual stepping in to help out with the admin and some great photos of the day here.

The Play

In the interests of avoiding total confusion with modified scores  I am not going to post the results, except for our booby prizes below, and would rather just acknowledge our various winners.  We’ll make up for it in photos.

So here we go.  Mark continues to play outstanding golf and shared Net A Grade with Mars, Anna jumped into B Grade after winning C Grade  last week and took the prize there too sharing with Manfred and Craig Edwards who had one of his best rounds of the year (and let us know it :-)), and Lis in her first year won Low C Grade.  Ken Runyon won Low Gross demonstrating his Samson-esque improvement since starting his first ever beard a few weeks ago…it is getting thicker and darker by the week.

Skill prizes were also shared around: James and Axel sharing first birdie, Geoff first sandy, Carm in her first year having her first par and winning the cash and Richard being Lowest Puts…problem was which Richard….at first we thought Richard Mau and celebrated with our normal calls….but then a closer look revealed a case of tidak mau and Richard Green took the cash….apologies for the confusion but you were both great sports over it.

Now for the big ones, the booby prizes..and despite limited opportunities a healthy harvest of skirts:

….and what a good looking bunch…shield your eyes if you are easily offended.

Jari had the double with Most Strokes and stood in for Monster Putter Jetse who had already taken off.  Jari spent the next 5 minutes waiting for his new furry friend to answer him back.

Next Up: Permata Sentul, 12.16pm, Free Pitcher per Flight

A late change of venue due to a tournament at the excellent Rainbow Hills but Permata Sentul is also a Tee Set favourite and some come just for the free pitcher of beer that is provided to each flight.  770,000 Rp includes cart.

Sign up here as usual.

17 Tee Setters will be heading to Bali to play the inaugural Battle Royale Cup against Bali’s Par 5 society. It will be three rounds of four ball, 2 person scramble and singles matchplay to decide the trophy….but it’s mostly about fun.
