The Day
This week saw us return from the western reaches of Tee Set golf to our original home of Pangkalan Jati. With 20 plus Tee Setters and their partners away in Surabaya for the Finna Challenge event under the leadership of the Singing President Craig Ewers, report to follow, President Roger Finnie and VP Ric Wymer led a merry band of 15 Tee Setters at PJ.
Unlike the last visit which was washed out, we had an enjoyable day under sunny skies and a quick round with the course playing well and no hold-ups as we played. No newcomers but a welcome back after 42 weeks to Tony Franco. A thank you to Ric for all his assistance with the admin on the day as we gave our secretary a day off.
Being all done and dusted by 5pm also allowed us to get back in time to catch the last round of the British Open. Photos of the day are here.
The Play
With a small group there was an opportunity for most get amongst the prize giving and so it proved. A modest harvest of 3 skirts saw Eric Mary, Tan Chee Hua and John Suermondt up for the traditional photo whilst Andy Vincent got a photo with the Monkey for his 9 on a hole. Eric Mary was at least able to recover his fine with First Birdie on hole 3.
Most Improved was awarded to Geoff Thwaites who kindly kept the Tee Set coffers oiled by donating back his prize whilst First Birdie went Nick Gleeson for his birdie on the 2nd hole. Low Putts went to Arthur Mallari for his good putting return of 27 strokes with the flatstick.
Low Gross was awarded to President Roger Finnie for his steady round of 81. With a fantastic effort of 1 under par over his last 10 holes, Jung Chun Kim took home Low Net A for his net 72 where he was joined by Dan Javier who took Low Net B for his net 74.
Congratulations to all the winners and results of the day are here.
