The Day

Sunday saw us return to BSD for the second time this year with 32 Tee Setters turning up to enjoy one of Jakarta’s premium venues. With a week-end tournament being played on Saturday and Sunday morning, the course was is much better condition than our last visit enabling several Tee Setters to return excellent results on the day as you will read below.

With the later start booked to enable the tournament to finish, the course arranged a shot-gun start across 8 holes making for a smooth round, completed in good time. Despite several rumblings from the heavens we were able to finish without any interruptions from rain or lightening which skirted the course through-out the afternoon.

One newcomer for the day, David O’Shea and a welcome back after 268 weeks to long time supporter of Tee Set, Jack Calcote. Also welcomed back after 51 weeks was David McNally.

The Play

The fine for Most strokes on a hole with 10 was taken by Rudie Basson with Kathy Scalabre and new-comer David O’Shea taking Monster Putter “honours” for their 42 putt efforts. Kathy was absent at the photo taking leaving David to be pictured with the monkey. Not to miss out on a photo opportunity, David also remained for the skirt picture where he was joined by Rudie and the Singing ex-President, Craig Ewers – more of Craig later in the post.

Mick Mongold was Low Putts on the day with an impressive 27 putts on the fast and underlating greens. 1st Birdie was shared by Stuart Wigley and Michael Bartsch for their 1st hole efforts and Divya Prakash Ahuja and President Roger Finnie shared 1st Sandy Par for their hole 7 up & downs. Last but no means least on the skill prizes was John Suermondt who won 1st Par for Handicaps >=30 for his par on hole 14.

Low Gross was won by Jeff Landau for an impressive 75 off the stick, just edging out Mark Blake on a count back. Craig Ewers turned his skirt into a sandy par on hole 17 on the way to a net 67 which won him Low Net B grade where he was joined by Ken Runyon Low Net A grade winner with a net 66 and a decidedly “worse for ware” Brett Shields who managed to put aside an aching head to win Low Net C grade with a net 69.

With the Championship coming up VP Ric Wymer was cleaning out the stocks from 2016 and so all the winners were also given a sleeve of Tee Set Balls in addition to the usual prize.

A thank you to Brenda for doing all the registrations and scoring on the day and safe travels for your holidays the next 3 weeks. Full results of the day are here and photos as usual here.
