The Day

After a couple of visits which were cancelled due to competing events at the course, Sunday saw us return to Padang Modern where we were welcomed and well looked after as usual. A modest group of 27 players on the day with no new comers and only one welcome back of note to Jochen Overberg who joined us after almost 6 months.

Bright skies, a light wind and getting off on time at 12pm saw us round relatively quickly and able to complete the presentations well before dark. This left us plenty of time to talk through the round over some refreshments and still get home in good time.

Registrations and scoring were again ably managed by VP Ric Wymer so a thank you to Ric for helping make the day go smoothly. Pictures of the day can be found here.

The Play

With small greens, running hard and fast, making it hard to keep the ball on the green and not overly challenging Blue Tee boxes in play, the treasurer had to be content with only 1 fine on the day with Rudie Basson breaking a potential 5 way tie for Most Strokes to win the Monkey for his 10 on a hole. Most Improved went to Rosie Putri who came back 8 strokes improved on her outward 9 and our First (& only) Sandy recorded on the day went to Joshua Alexander.

Low Putts went to Simon Oxley for his return of 26 strokes on the greens and First Birdie to Chris Lever for his effort on hole 5. Low Gross on the day went to Jeff Landau for his 79 off the stick.

With our Low Net winners delayed in the showers, we had to capture them later on with Lorenzo Marengo (Low B net 73) and Mike Harling (Low C net 72) reappearing in time for the presentations. Low Net A after a net 72 Richard Mau had already departed due to another engagement.

Congratulations also to Lorenzo who had an eagle on the day on hole 5 which you can check out along with the rest of the detailed results here.

World Cup of Golf 6th & 7th October 2018: Cengkareng

2018’s edition of the Tee Set World Cup of Golf will take place at Cengkareng on 6th and 7th October 2018. Following feedback from many of the participants, we have made the event over 1 week-end and will be playing on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

As usual, Teams will be made up of 4 players who will be connected by their nationalities and we hope to see many teams out there hoping to wrestle the trophy off the Indonesian ladies who have won it for the last 2 years.

Please get together and start to form your teams as we will open registrations later this week.

Next Up: Geoff Thwaites 75th Birthday bash and Jagorawi Country Club. 9.30am Sunday 23rd September

Geoff Thwaites, Tee Set’s former President and current sponsor, will be turning 75 years old on Sunday 23rd September. Showing us all that age is just a number, Geoff will be bringing all of his 50 years of golfing experience in Indonesia to bear as he competes for Tee Set in the Inter-League match before celebrating with all of us by hosting the Bandung Band and a light BBQ at Jagorawi from 3pm. He invites all Tee Setters and Inter-League players from the other teams to come hand help share a trip down memory lane and also toast his landmark birthday. Feel free to bring a bottle to help oil the afternoon!

With DOGs playing also on Sunday near-by, we hope some will be able to stop off on the way home since the party is not likely to finish early 🙂
