The Day

With Sunday being part of a long week-end, we took advantage of the quieter traffic to make the short trip to Senayan National Golf course in the heart of the city. A bright and hot sunny day welcomed the 28 Tee Settters who turned out to join us and we were able to complete the round without any interruptions by the weather.

We teed off on-time at 12pm with our groups split across holes 1 and 10 with those on hole 1 following another group which included some novice golfers. This resulted unfortunately in a big difference in the pace of play between the 2 sides of the course: a smooth round off hole 10 saw these groups finish in just over 4 hours and able to enjoy a few refreshments in the club house before the groups off hole 1 came in an hour and half later. However, a quick turnaround on the scoring and results presentation still saw us off in good time to enjoy the rest of the evening.

Two new comers this week, Francis Cheng and Matt Kilgallon; welcome to Tee Set and we look forward to seeing you again at a forthcoming event.

A thank you to Bebe who looked after all the administration assisted by Lis Wymer who came along although not playing this week.

The Play

Continuing the trend of our new-comers getting straight amongst the awards of the day, we called up firstly Matt Kilgallon for his Skirt photo, Rudie Basson having already departed, and Francis Cheng for Low Putts for an excellent effort of 29 putts on what were fast and tricky greens.

The Most Strokes fine was “won” by Erik Milfors for his 13 strokes on a hole and Monster Putter was taken by Ken Runyon with 41 putts, just edging out 4 others on 40 putts. Ken was however able to offset his fine by winning Most Improved shaving 11 off his front 9 coming home. Richard Green won First Sandy for his effort on hole 15; both Ken and Richard benefiting from the 1 prize rule.

First Birdie went to Arthur Mallari for his effort on Hole 4 and Low Gross to Jeff Landau for his excellent 75 off the stick. Low Net A was won by Andrew Waite for his best of the day net 66 with Low Net B being won by VP Ric Wymer (net 71) and Low Net C by Nick Thomas for his second best of the day, net 67.
