The Day

Gading Raya once more treated the 39 Tee Setters with an early start and finish, and pretty good weather for this time of the year, as it only rained for a hole or two. The greens in general, but especially on the first holes, were extremely fast as they were shaved very close for an upcoming tournament.

We had a healthy 5 Newcomers this week: Frida Lidwina, Jon Pipe, Mark Donnelly, Owen Sutherland and Richard Ledgard to whom we wish a warm welcome to Tee Set. We also had our usual Welcome Backs, led by Tracey Ledgard after 69 weeks.

The Play

VP Roger Finnie continued his current streak to again win Low Net A Grade for his net 72. Efsi Hayati won Low Net B Grade with her excellent net 67. The ecstatic Kelly Chaisson, who had the best round of his life which translated into a net 62, won Low Net C Grade.

 

 

Mark Manderson was awarded Low gross for his excellent 82 off the stick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mark Johnson was unfazed by the fast greens and won Low Putts with 28.

 

 

 

 

Andrew Waite won First Birdie on his 12^th hole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Sandy Par was awarded to Alastair Livingston for his effort on his 2^nd hole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Debbie Minicola won First Par Over 30 on her 7^th hole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most Improved went to Jonathan Quek for shaving 9 shots on his back nine.

 

 

 

 

 

Debbie Minicola unfortunately had to return half her gains from her First Par Over 30 when she won the less coveted Monster Putter for her 42 putts, to the relief of Richard Green and the President who each had 41 putts.

Most Strokes went to Craig Edwards for his 11 on hole #4, where he sliced 3 drives into the lake, got even more tired after having to walk back to retrieve his driver he had thrown, before regaining his composure and finally putting a ball in play for 7 off the tee.

And finally the Gading Raya blue tees which, in defense of the guilty, seemed to be placed way back on the day, produced 6 skirts, pictured below from left to right: Steven Pettis, Jonathan Quek, Peter Ruffy, Craig Edwards who tried to hide with the wig the fact he said earlier “I never get skirts” and yours truly who has now managed a skirt for 5 events in a row, which even though not confirmed could be a new Tee Set record.

And Dirk Kruip who insisted on an individual picture:

While on the topic of skirts, Sunday there was a fierce debate on what constitutes a skirt, and in rare moment of agreement between the President and the Vice-President of Almost Everything they explained that if a ball enters a side hazard before the red tees it is indeed a skirt!
