Pangkalan Jati

The Day

Early arrivals at our former home at Pangkalan Jati were to be a little disconcerted by the advice from staff that Tee Set were not booked in for today but next week!! No worries, they were delighted to see us as always and things were quickly sorted out when our 5 groups were to slip onto a quiet course on time at noon for a blissfully quick round.

After recent heavy and regular rain the 18 Tee Setters spared duties at Jagorawi were to be surprised to find a course in very good condition and with splendid if unusually hot conditions on the front nine – gathering clouds provided some relief but with no rain on the back nine as we finished in just about perfect conditions.

Culinary note for the future – their Soto Ayam is excellent and very reasonably priced even though prices have gone up a little – and a suspicion that portion sizes reduced a little – though not the Soto Ayam for sure.

One Newcomer to Welcome in Andreas Stokowski who was  to spend a useful afternoon getting rid of the accumulated rust and spider webs from his swing. We hope to see you often Andreas, your deep knowledge of Anglo-Saxon epithets will be a distinct plus 🙂

Welcome Backs really rather unimpressive this week with just Dennis Ryan and the Bunters achieving even low double figures.

Finally many thanks to Santi for coming straight from her singles victory for Tee Set Toos at Jags in order to take photos, hand out prizes, collect fines and most importantly ensure that the Web Guy didn’t leave too much of his and Tee Set’s stuff behind at the club.

The Play

Jan Albeck, with just 4 qualifying rounds to his name prior to today – and therefore sans handicap, secured the only major prize he could, Low Gross, with an 87 off the stick. Well done him.

Matt Otto was the pick of the Grade winners with a Net 72 in “C” while Alastair Livingston’s and Tony Howarth’s Net 77 apiece were enough to take Grades A and B respectively in what was not a day where we were to take the course apart.

Interesting skirts this week, what happened!?!??!?

Considering the field of just 15 non-handbag wielders capable of actually qualifying for a skirt award, the crop of 7 winners of the garb of shame was an excellent return. With our lacking in dedicated help this week, 2 of them managed to escape their 50,000 fines!!!

Despite a determined attempt to deprive him of his prize for 1st Birdie at his very first hole, Richard Green was not to be denied and your stand-in administrator was eventually compelled to cough up the cash!

Jagorawi New Course – Interleague

Today saw the second round of the Inter-League take place at Jagorawi Country Club. In stark contrast to last month when the matches got called off due to heavy rain, our 18 Tee Setters were greeted with excellent weather and a golf course playing in top condition.

Fresh from a closely fought victory against Pocksia in the replay of Round 1 last week, Tee Set Too played last year’s runners up, Mad Dogs, and took full advantage of a short-handed opposition to score a strong 8-2 victory.

The Tee Set team were facing Cloggies, 2016’s Inter-League Champions, and won a closely fought match 6-4. With Tee Set’s Round 1 match against Sentul Swingers still waiting to be replayed, current league positions are tentative only but with 2 victories and 14 points, Tee Set Too sit in second place in the league, just 1 point behind Tin Cups amongst teams with 2 completed rounds.

More detailed results of today’s matches will be posted on the Inter-League page this evening.

Next month’s matches will be played on 23^rd April.
