The Day
As the holidays are over and our Tee Setters are slowly coming back, we had a fairly healthy group of 45, and once more unusually dry, sunny and hot conditions for this time of the year, as illustrated by my divot on hole #16.
Including our beautiful ladies pictured below.
One way to cool off was using one of the Cengkareng hoverboards like our Web Guy did and said “worth it .. and a bit of fun too 
“.
And the other one was of course with the now legendary Cengkareng hospitality and Margaritas.
We didn’t have any newcomer playing this week, but a few signed up with Tee Set and will join us soon. We had a couple of Welcome Backs worth mentioning, Mark Manderson after 44 weeks and Boonyarit Jaiya after 33 weeks.
The Play
Unlike last week we had some sub-par net rounds this week, including by all the winners of the Low Net categories pictured below. VP Roger Finnie showed his potential as new Inter-League captain by winning Low Net A Grade for his 68. Andrew Marron, who won Low Net B Grade on a count-back from Stefan Thiele, showed that his first official handicap was no fluke by carding a net 70. Jaturaporn Pibankul won Low Net C Grade with a 69, on a count-back from Jana Gaislerova whose 11 on I think her last hole proved costly, no doubt continuing to push his march towards B Grade.
Mark Johnson, who had to leave early to catch his plane, was awarded Low Gross for his 82. Also winning the unofficial “Pinkiest” award, also known as the “I am comfortable enough with my masculinity to wear pink” award. And don’t ask me what Axel is doing in that picture!
Boonyarit Jaiya showed that his long absence with us didn’t mean he didn’t practice his putting and won Low Putts with 27.
Manfred Borer won First Birdie on his 2nd hole.
First Sandy Par was awarded to b
oth Kelly Chaisson and Chris Smith for their efforts on their 2nd hole. Which for Kelly was a great improvement after getting a double-skirt and a 10 on his first hole.
First Par Over 30 was awarded to both Kim Pham and Mike Riley for their efforts on their 2nd hole.
Most Improved went to ever smiling Geary Bowles for shaving 16 shots on his back nine after a disastrous 61 on his front nine, during which his 12 on a hole, including 9 shots from the same bunker, gave him a share of Most Strokes.
Kim Pham unfortunately had to return half her gains from her First Par Over 30 when she won the less coveted Monster Putter for her 44 putts.
Most Strokes was shared by Mike Riley and the aforementioned Geary Bowles for their 12 on a hole, even though last week’s winner Kelly Chaisson had a go at it with his 11 on Par 3 hole #4.
And finally once more Cengkareng produced its share of skirts with 9, of which are pictured below: the President who has now managed a skirt for 4 events in a row, Chris Smith, Kelly Chaisson who got a wardrobe on the day, Mike Riley, Laurie O’Connor, Stefan Thiele and Paisan Thanasitsomboon, as well as the excused Dave Chew and Dennis Wee.
