The Day

Happy New Year Tee Setters and wishing all our members a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous Year of the Pig. With this week-end proceeding CNY, numbers were potentially a little low but we had a strong turnout of 30 (note above missed 1 late arrival!) as we headed a short way down the Jagorawi Toll and challenged ourselves on the difficult Riverside course. With only 3 players at or under net handicap on the day, the difficulty of the course was reflected in the results as you can read below.

As always the Riverside team looked after us well and we had an early start to try and beat the rains thanks to a 5 hole mini-shot-gun start 30 minutes early. After a clear and largely sunny front 9, the thunder arrived as we reached holes 12-13 but other than a short break for lightening, we were able to finish our round in good time and with little rain.

We welcomed 2 newcomers on the day, Nick Lewis and Choi Jeon Gok and welcomed back Peng Wee Song, the GM at Riverside who joined us for the round, and Samret Raungrit after 30 weeks. Looking forward to seeing you all out again soon.

A thank you to Jens Rostel who assisted with registrations in the morning and to VP Ric Wymer who inputted all the scoring and managed the announcements afterwards.

The Play

With some challenging tee shots, to see only 2 skirts was a good effort all round and we captured a nice shot of Amol Singhal and Matthias Cosessens in the Tee Set dress up outfit. Most  Strokes went to Rudie Basson for his 11 on a hole and Monster Putter to Choi Jeon Gok for her 43 strokes on the green.  11 was the magic number for Keith Gorman, Most Improved, and Andrew Shaw, First Par for handicaps >=30 but he was to receive another prize. First Sandy for his effort on on hole 3 went to Nick Lewis and First Birdie secured on hole 5 won Arthur Mallari that award.

Low Putts with 29 was awarded to Laurie O’Connor whilst President Roger Finnie and Samret Raungrit shared Low Gross for their rounds of 86. Our  Low New winners were Andrew Shaw (C: 76), Mike Webb (B: 68) and Jens Roestel (A: 75)

Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results are here.

The first 3 match play games were also played on Sunday with Amol Singhal defeating Tony Franco, Aurelie Neufkens defeating Keith Gorman and defending Champion Jens Rosetel defeating Matthias Coessens. Please do not forget to submit your results by email directly to James Ross otherwise its not official!

Next Up: Matoa Nasional Sunday 10th February 2019

This Sunday sees us take the short trip to South Jakarta as we return to the home of the Tee Set Championship, Matoa Nasional.

With the new toll road, getting to Matoa has never been easier and we are always well looked after by the friendly staff there. They have also been putting a lot of effort into improving the course presentation despite all the rain recently so we should have a fun round.

Tee time is 12.00pm but recent visits have seen us head out a little earlier than this so please plan to be ready to play by 11.30am. The price a very reasonable Rp700,000 with cart. Please sign up here if you are interested to join.
