The Day
35 Tee Setters and their guests from Sentul Swingers played at Riverside for our second visit of the year. Good weather greeted our arrival and we had high hopes of finishing the round after the wash out of the last visit. A thank you to Simon Reynolds who arranged a 2 tees start for us following the completion of the morning’s event and we headed off on time at 12.30pm with the Inter-league rematch heading off Hole 1 and the remaining Tee Setters off Hole 10.
Unfortunately, it was to prove a false hope as the heavens opened once more at Riverside as most players reached holes 12-14. Most Tee Setters battled on, some after a rain break, but the majority of the Inter-League matches were called off as the greens became flooded and unplayable. With the disjointed finish and with several players who finished early also departing early, the prize giving was a small affair and a number of usual prizes went unclaimed. For those that stayed, we enjoyed a smooth ride home as the rain abated in the early evening.
We had 4 Newcomers this week: Giordano Faggioli, Scott Schauer, Vanco Pop-Petrovski and Viggo Kristofferson, to whom we wish a warm Tee Set welcome.
We also had some serious Welcome Backs, mainly by the Sentul Swingers who used to play with Tee Set, lead by Johanna Cunningham after 249 weeks, followed by Michael Bartsch after 242 weeks, and Bob McLeod after 119 weeks, we hope convinced them to play with us again.
The Play
As previously stated, since a lot of players didn’t complete their round and some of the results above were calculated with “equitable score” on the rained off holes, and the fact a lot of people were OB for the ceremony, only a few prizes were awarded this week, mainly to the ones who actually completed their round.
Scott Schauer was awarded Low Net A Grade for his net 79, as he was one of the few A Graders to complete his round.
Once more Lis Wymer won Low Net C Grade for her amazing net 66, which will no doubt lower her handicap.
Frank Wilson won First Sandy Par on his 16th hole.
First Par Over 30 was awarded to John Suermondt for his effort on his 2nd hole.
Peter Bush won Most Improved for shaving 5 shots on his back nine.
Unfortunately Frank Wilson had to return half of his earnings for First Sandy Par when he was also awarded the less prestigious Most Strokes for his 10 shots on a hole.
We only had 2 skirts today, by two of our old regulars we don’t see much these days maybe indicating a lack of practice, Jaco Zaayman and Kelly Chaisson.
