The Day

We had another very popular day at Cengkareng, where a few last minute cancellations were to be outweighed by late registrations resulting in a healthy 45 Tee Setters playing. The conditions were ideal, if not too hot, as there was not even a sign of rain, which is pretty rare these days in the Jakarta area. A slightly earlier than scheduled tee off time and clear course ensured everybody finished in time to shower, enjoy Cengkareng’s good food and margaritas, and the prizes ceremony rapped up at sundown.

We had 2 Newcomers, Jochen Overberg a regular with our friends the D.O.G.S. and Lars Hansen once more increasing our Danish contingent, who both didn’t waste any time to invest in our Tee Set shirts and to whom we wish a warm Tee Set welcome.

We had some decent Welcome Backs lead by Iven Macleod after 43 weeks, followed by Dean Akiyama and Gert Borrits after 35 and 33 weeks respectively.

The Play

Jan Albeck had the round of the day to win Low Net A Grade with his brilliant net 66, making him a potentially interesting recruit for our Inter-league teams. David Baglivo recovered some of his gambling loses by winning Low Net B Grade with his net 69. While Lis Wymer, who had not been rewarded yesterday due to a clerical error, won Low Net C Grade for a third week in a row for her net 73.

Richard Mau had a great day to win Low Gross for his amazing 76 off the stick.

Low Putts was not awarded this week as the potential winners: David Baglivo and Jan Albeck with 26 putts, and Richard Mau with 28 putts had already won other prizes.

Frank Wilson would have won First Birdie on his 1^st hole had he not been OB, but on the other end he escaped the skirts picture.

First Sandy Par was awarded to our good friend Geoff Thwaites for his effort on his 1^st hole.

Steven Pettis won First Par Over 30 on his 4^th hole.

Matt Fairey was awarded Most Improved for shaving 13 shots on his back nine, where he shot a magnificent 35 off the stick, greatly contributing to his match play win against Ric.

Most Strokes was awarded to Kelly Chaisson for his 12 shots on a hole, he admitted might have been a 13, during a rough day where he officially carded a 120 after much negotiating with his caddy, and spent most of the round in the bushes accumulating mood on his shoes and leaving his playing partners looking for him all day. The only bright side was that he didn’t have to pay the fine for it as he also got a skirt.

Newcomer Lars Hansen was all smile for his photo opp with our Tee Set Monkey for winning the less coveted Monster Putter for his 42 hits of the flatstick.

President Pascal Bekaert, who had managed to escape the dreaded skirt on his first hole despite the heckling from the gallery, wasted no time to get one on his second hole, followed by 3 more during his round, constituting a wardrobe. But to his relief, he had a lot of company for the famous picture, as as usual Cengkareng produced a hefty 15 skirts, or 35% of the men playing, too many to list here so refer to the list at the top of the Post.

Our field reporter, Chris Murchison, captured below Richard Green and Mick Riley’s balls, clearly behind the ladies tee, where Lis maybe should have let them play their second shot before teeing off!
