The Day

Sunday saw us head to one of Tee Set’s favourite venues as we made our last visit of the year to Cengkareng Golf Course. As usual, the Management and Staff were well organized for our visit and we were able to enjoy a couple of refreshments and some breakfast in the Club House before heading out on time to the first tees.

The 3 new holes have further bedded in since our last visit and so the course overall played in good condition and, despite a few drops falling at different times during the round, we were able to complete our rounds without serious interruption and in good time.

We welcomed Hazlan Hezri as our 1 new-comer for the week and welcomed back Gerard Gesser after 164 weeks, Romeo Salvador after 76 weeks and Ronald Lim after 39 weeks. We look forward to welcoming you all back to another event soon.

Also back was our Secretary Brenda Mayland and thank you Brenda for assisting with all the organization on the day. Hazlan, Brenda and several others are seen here as the groups prepared to tee off. More photos from the day and prize giving can be found here.

The Play

Cengkareng’s greens were in their usual good condition and several players mastered their putter and returned a low putting statistic. However the large and undulating greens can catch the unwary and Monster Putter went to Albert  Arcenas for his 41 putts on the day. Most Strokes was shared by Matthew Cherrett and Paul Dowd, both perhaps feeling the effects of the night before and racking up 10 strokes on a hole.

Paul was able to re-coop his losses by being Most Improved for coming home 8 strokes better than his front 9. The skirt gallery is usually a healthy one at Cengkareng and this week was no exception with Andrew Shaw, Glen Menyennett, VP Bill Lloyd, Andrew Waite, Ronald Lim and Rusty Witwer all joining together for the photo.

On the skill prizes, James Ross won first Sandy Par which was also a Birdie on his hole 2 and Roger Finnie took home Low Putts for his 28 strokes with the flat stick.

Low Gross was won by Daniel Gaisler for his excellent 79 strokes on the day. Low Net honours were awarded to Mark Fiorello for his Net 68 in winning A Grade, Steve Moruzzi for his best net of the day 67 to win B Grade and Rusty Witwer for his net 70, with borrowed clubs, to win C Grade.

Congratulations to all the winners and detailed results can be found here. As this was also the first round of the Eclectic Cycle VII, Steve obviously takes an early lead but there is all to play for in the New Year when we return to Cengkareng for the remaining 3 rounds of this cycle.

Next Up: Monthly Medal Padang Modern

Next Sunday sees us head to Padang Modern for the last Monthly Medal of the year, being played earlier in the month so it does not clash with the holidays when many are away or busy with families.

Tee time is 11.30am and the cost Rp770,000 with carts. Please sign up here if you would like to join us.
