The Day
Although we are still in the school and European holiday season, a chance for a second bite at Emeralda was enticing enough to draw a healthy turnout of 36 Tee Setters a short way down the Jagorawi Tol on Sunday.
With the weather remaining dry and sunny, the day promised much and we all arrived for our earlier than normal tee time in high expectations. With a competition on the in morning we were ready for a little disruption but the higher than expected turnout for that led to us needing to rearrange starting arrangements and also facing some difficulties getting bags and carts to the course in good order. Whilst we all got out and round in good time thanks to Rina’s intervention, we did end up with two 2 balls playing amongst a series of 3 and 4 balls!
Unusually, there was the recognition of this by the course and our published rate of Rp950k was reduced to Rp805k so we had a few shillings extra to enjoy some refreshments in the clubhouse afterwards to put the world to rights. Whether it was the extra beers or otherwise, we did seem to have a camera or camera operator malfunction so apologies but there are no photos of the prize giving onwards…. to be looked into before next week.
One welcome to a newcomer on the day, Butch San Agustin and notable welcome backs to Moritz, Brandon Carson, Jonathan Quek and Eric Flores. We look forward to seeing you all out again soon.
Again with our regular Secretarial team unavailable, VP Ric Wymer was the key organizer of registrations and scoring so a big thank you to him for ensuring we captured the results on the day as well as keeping everything else on track.
The Play
Round of the day went to Simon Oxley who had his best ever score of gross 77 to take home Low Net A with a net 66. An equally impressive net 64 by Dan Javier saw him take home Low Net B honours whilst a modest net 69 saw Jonathan Quek win Low Net C.
Low Gross went to Jeff Landau for his 81 off the stick. Skill honours went to Divya Prakash Ahuja for Low Putts of 28, Amol Singhal for First Birdie on hole 5 and President Roger Finnie for First Sandy at his opening hole.
12 was the key scoring number of the day, Dirk Kruip racking up that number of strokes on a hole to take the Monkey whilst Kane Griffen improved by that number between the front and back nines to take home Most Improved. A 3 way tie for Monster Putter between Brandon Curson, Ric Wymer and Wahyu Budi saw the treasurer go home happiest whilst our 1 photo of the prize giving did capture our skirts: Tom Grace, Wahyu Budi and Richard Green; Al Livingston having to already depart.
Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results are here.

(2) 4th Annual Asian Tigers 45 Hole Challenge
Hosted and organized by Tee Set VP, Bill Lloyd, and our good sponsor, Asian Tigers Mobility, this unique golfing event on the Jakarta calendar is not to be missed.
In addition to being just a great day out, it is also held for the worthy cause of supporting the protection of Sumatran Tigers through the work of the Animal Sanctuary Trust Indonesia, https://www.simplygiving.com/NonProfit/animalsanctuarytrustindonesia. ASTI’s mission, in part, to care for and rehabilitate the endangered Sumatran Tiger.
As you may guess from the name, the event is held over the 45 holes of Jagorawi Golf & Country Club with the emphasis on a golfing iron-man challenge to walk and play all 3 courses in a day. Carts are available for those who decide to relax during the day but with a penalty applied per 9 holes for their use.
Your score will be counted as the best four 9 hole scores with the Best Net and Best Gross 36 hole scores getting to take home the finest trophy in Jakarta, here modeled by President Roger Finnie who won Best Net last year.
The date has been set for 24th August 2018 and if you are interested in supporting this event as a sponsor please contact Ken Runyon on accelgolf@gmail.com.
