The Day

With 2 very popular golf events in Bali this week-end, Sunday’s game was always going to be a smaller affair with 21 Tee Setters turning up to join us at Pondok Cabe. The course was in good condition and the fairways relatively firm despite the recent on-set of the rainy season. Pleasantly, there was also not many other players out on the course so we were able to get off on-time and enjoyed a smooth 4 hour round. This meant that we were all safely in the clubhouse by the time some heavy droplets started to threaten the skies.

2 new-comers this week,  Ryan Douwes and Harun Pravanta, who were both given a warm Tee Set welcome and we were pleased to welcome back Ivan Byriel after 20 weeks.

A thank you to Brenda for all the arrangements during the week and the scoring on the day.

The Play

Whilst there were many good putting returns, led by President Roger Finnie’s 25 putts, at the other end of the putting table was new-comer Ryan Douwes who was recognized for his Monster Putter effort of 43 putts. Most strokes went to VP of almost Everthing, Ric Wymer, whilst a modest return of skirts resulted saw Andrew Chee, Ivan Byriel, John Suermondt and Richard Bolton digging into the Tee Set bag for their photos.

Daniel Brown was awarded 1st Sandy for his effort on hole 1 and also had Most Improved but with the 1 prize rule did not get to take home further winnings and with other potential winners already left this went unclaimed for this week. Ivan recouped his loses by sharing 1st Par for Handicaps =>30 with Renny Sperry for their efforts on hole 4.

Low Putts and 1st Birdie were won by winners in other categories so we were just left to recognize Fitrat Ameer for his excellent Gross 76 off the stick for Low Gross and the winners of the respective flights, Roger Finnie Low Net A, Glen Menyennett Low Net B and Richard Bolton Low Net C for their efforts of 75, 65 and 68, respectively.
