The Day
For our final round of 2018 we went down to Emeralda and the 30 Tee Setters who joined enjoyed a great round of golf with the weather and rather empty course ensuring we had an excellent day out.
The continuing winds made for some interesting shot selection on a challenging layout but with the fairways and greens in good condition those striking the ball well were able to return some good scores.
A long welcome back to Kai Hertzke, bother of Axel, who was back with us after an absence of 151 weeks and it was a pleasure to welcome back Charles Lim and Rene Jansen who had joined us for the first time last week.
A thank you to Craig Edwards for again sorting out the registrations and pairings and to Beby for inputting all the scores and handicap updates.
The Play
Mark Johnson was celebrating his birthday this weekend and we were able to call him up a couple of times during the prize giving; Firstly for his skirt where he was joined by Mike Webb, Craig Ewers and no longer skirt virgin, Arne Tjaden. Mark was back to recover his fine for his Low Putts of 29 after we had awarded Monster Putter to Kim Pham (41) and Most Strokes to Tom Grace (13).
With the Plantation course the more difficult of the 2 nines we were playing, it was not a surprise that Most Improved came from those starting on that 9 with Leon Bivolaru taking the prize with an improvement of 5 strokes. Our other skill prizes went on Hole 1 with Tan Chee Hua winning First Sandy and President Roger Finnie First Birdie.
Low Gross went to Tim Knight who shot an excellent 78 off the stick whilst our Low Net Winners were Len Ogembo in A Grade (71), Michael Mueller in B Grade (70) and Lis Wymer in C Grade (71).
Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results are here.
Next Up: Welcome back at Gading Raya and The DOCKS
A Happy New Year to all Tee Setters and we begin 2019 with a return visit to Gading Raya followed by post round event at The DOCKS were we will be treated to a couple of free barrels in celebration of the New Year and the birthday of Tee Set Match-Play Champion, Jens Roestel.
Gading Raya has been one of Tee Set’s favourites and deservedly so with an excellent course and good faciliites being complemented by relatively easy access for many Tee Setters.
Tee times off 1 & 10 at 11.30am have been confirmed along with the more attractive pricing of Rp815,000 with carts.
Lots of good reasons therefore to sign up here and we look forward to seeing you all next week.
