The Day

Sunday saw us making a second visit to Cengkareng in as many weeks as we returned to play the 3rd edition of the Tee Set World Cup which, due to some changes in the calendar, was played the event as a 1 day competition this year. This proved a popular arrangement with a healthy turnout of 57 Tee Setters who were greeted by another excellent golfing day, weather wise.

With 56 players playing, we had the happy arrangement of a perfect number for 14 teams, 13 of which were hoping to rest the World Cup Trophy from the Indonesian Ladies team who have won on the previous 2 occasions we have held the event.

After the President and VP sorted out registrations and pairings, we headed out in good time as the course management advanced our tee time a little to accommodate the high turnout. The only complication to that plan was attraction of the UFC fight playing in the lounge and some groups were a little reluctant to move out on time which coupled to some slow play on our part, led to some large gaps on the course and a delay for other groups following us… a request from the course management to please be conscious of this for future visits left the President needing to apologize on behalf of the group…

Whilst most groups were self creating, we needed to pair some players together other than by their natural country affiliations and so a thank you to those players who helped us make sure all the groups were teams of 4 and potentially competitive for the day.

Our team events always attract new comers to the Tee Set family, this time was no different with 4 new comers of Roger Slangen, Ian Newnes, Hakim Moui and David Sumenap and who were all given a warm Tee Set welcome. We also see some regulars to the team events but who are not playing Tee Set week in and week out and a warm welcome back was given to Rob Nicholls, Chris Cromarty, Frank & Anna Wilson, Andreas Stokowy and Kim Pham. We look forward to seeing you all out again shortly.

Several players assisted on the day to make sure things ran smoothly; so in addition to the regular thank you to VP Ric Wymer and Beby, our appreciation to Glen, Nick and Al for their assistance at various points during the day. Photos of the day can be found here.

The Play

Although individual low net and gross prizes were not given out on the day, we did keep a full record of play for the database and the summary of the results is above and the detail here. However, as can be seen it was a day on which the ladies shone brightly, cleaning up all categories for best play on the day.

On the skill prizes, First Birdie was shared 4 ways between Daniel Gaisler, Joshua Alexander, Rosie Putri and Len Ogembo for their efforts on the first hole whilst Dirk Kruip took home First Sandy for his effort on hole 4. Santi Miller was Low Putts on 28 and First Par =>30 handicaps went to Kim Pham – both earning other prizes so not in the money for these efforts.

Surprising after a quiet night in, Brett Shields had a difficult outward nine but recovered by 13 strokes to be Most Improved…

VP & Treasurer Ric Wymer was most happy on the day with a full harvest of fines recorded. Tom Grace was the Monkey winner with Most Strokes of 14 on a hole whilst Monster Putter saw newcomer Hakim Moui and Franz Heuben share the “prize” after 45 putts on the day. Most impressive was the list of skirts with 11 as shown above and mostly captured in the photos below.

The main prizes of the day were based on the team scores and Low Gross on the day went to The Great of Britain team of Simon Oxley, Jon Pipe, Stuart Wigley and President Roger Finnie after their score of 238. Runner-up in the Low Net category, anchored by Low Net C winner Kim Pham, was team England who also featured Bruce Smart, Al Livingston and Craig Binks and recorded a score of 199. Our overall winner, unsurprisingly with both Low Gross and Low Net A scores on the day in the team, was team Srikandi: Santi Miller, Efsi Hayati, Lis Wymer and Wina Nugraha after shooting a team score of 196. This is 3rd year in a row that the team was won the World Cup so VP Ric Wymer was happy to pass the trophy over to team Captain Santi to take home.

Congratulations to all the winners and the detailed player and team scores from the World Cup are here. Many thanks to everyone who turned out on the day.
