The Play
For the first time in several seasons the Jakarta Interleague was not being hosted at Jagorawi so our regular Tee Set players and the rest of the JIL teams headed to Riverside on Sunday for the opening round of matches and Tee Set’s regular Sunday event. We were treated to excellent weather and the course being presented in great condition as the Riverside team continue to make improvements to various holes on the course and the Club House.
As usual Riverside has some tricky holes which penalized errant tee shots but overall we were all to enjoy an excellent day. No newcomers this week whilst on the welcome backs it was a pleasure to see Mel Cantarella back after 17 weeks.
Thank you to the Riverside staff for their efforts in hosting us on Sunday and to VP Ric Wymer for managing both Tee Set and JIL duties on the day.
The Day
A modest skirt day with Chris Hunter, Eric Mary and Rakesh Surampudi all failing on at least one occasion to reach the red tees whilst Harry Lopez and Len Ogembo shared Most Strokes on 10. 1st Par for handicaps >=30 went to Mel Cantarella for his effort on hole 4.
Low Putts went to Fitrat Ameer, 1st Sandy went to Jens Roestel, First Birdie to Mark Fiorello and Most Improved to Craig Edwards.
Low Gross was won by Samret Raungrit with 84 whilst Efsi Hayati (76), Lorenzo Marengo (72) and Jeff Durham (74) were our Low Net winners; albeit with a little confusion as Mark Johnson stepped up for Low Net A forgetting that the grade cut offs had changed… I’m sure it will all get sorted out next week.
Congratulations to all our winners and detailed scoring is here Form_ Current Results Riverside.
In the JIL matches….After last year’s whitewash in round 1 at the hands of this week’s opponent, Tin Cups, Tee Set made a strong start this year with a 6-4 victory over the JIL reigning champions; a result matched by Sandbaggers over Cloggies whilst early honours at the top of the league chart goes to Pocksia who won 7-3 over Sentul Swingers aided by some Tee Set fill ins.
Next Up: Cengkareng Sunday 31st March 2019 12pm Monthly Medal and Eclectic X First Round
This Sunday we head back to one of Jakarta’s finest courses and one of Tee Set’s most popular venues, Cengkareng, home for Tee Set’s Monthly Medal for 2019.
In addition to being the 3rd Monthly Medal of the year, this week will also be the first round of Cycle X of the Tee Set Eclectic and so a good opportunity to lay down a marker in seeking to wrest the Eclectic Trophy from our current Champion, Lorenzo Marengo. We’ve not had a 2-time winner yet so will this be the cycle when someone breaks the rhythm?
Whilst there is a lot to attract players for this week, we also welcome those who just wish to enjoy a pleasant trip across the rolling fairways, guided round by Cengkareng’s well trained caddies and then to sit and enjoy one of its famous Margaritas to cool you down afterwards.
If you are able to join us for a very reasonable Rp850,000 walking please sign up here. Tee time is 12pm as usual.
Reminder: For those who would prefer not to walk, in addition to the hover boards to glide across the rolling fairways, Cengkareng management have purchased a limited number of golf carts. If you wish to reserve one please contact the Golf reservations staff at Cengkareng directly. As the carts are limited in number and we do not have visibility to those already booked on the day, your Tee Set Committee is not involved to the reservation of the carts.
