The Day
Sunday saw 32 Tee Setters head west again as we made a return visit to Imperial where we were greeted by glorious sunshine and a course looking in picturesque condition. Although there was quite a bit of maintenance work going on around the course, the fairways were in good condition and the greens presented some challenges especially if you got on the wrong side of the hole and left yourself a down-hill putt.
That we were a slightly smaller group of players turned out to be fortunate as later in the afternoon, the storms arrived and lightening closed the course with 2 or 3 groups having a couple of holes left to play. Nevertheless, we equitably scored the remaining holes and headed to the clubhouse where we enjoyed the excellent food and service whilst sharing stories over a few refreshments; the last group heading home well after 7.30pm.
5 newcomers this week with Michal Lukasik and Tuomas Kangasvieri joining our Hawaiian visitors Rod Mau (brother of Richard), Dalton Tanonaka and Wade Suzuki. Also back after 21 weeks was Chuck Jeffrey. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon.
Many thanks to Rudie Basson and VP Ric Wymer who managed all the scoring on the day.
The Play
Most strokes was a modest 10 but shared 3 ways with Arthur Mallari, Lorenzo Marengo and Mikko Heinonen whilst Monster Putter was taken by Jack Harkness after his 40 putts on the greens. Despite the best efforts of a wayward drive and tree rebound back to the edge of the red tees which almost gave the President his 2nd skirt, he remained fortunate much to the disappointment of his playing partners and so VP Ric Wymer was left to enjoy the dress up photo alone this week as our only skirt on the day. Most Improved went to Tim Knight whilst Indar Dhaliwal won First Par for Handicaps >= 30.
2 newcomers in the money with Rod Mau winning First Sandy Par on hole 5 and Tuomas Kangasvieri joining Simon Oxley for a first hole Birdie and winning that prize. Ensuring family harmony was Richard Mau taking home Low Gross for his 81 off the stick.
Low Putts on the day went to John Birch with 26 whilst our net winners were Fernando Gaggino, Keith Gorman and Werner Muchitsch.
Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results are posted here.
Next up: Riverside Sunday 14th April, 11.30am shot gun
In addition to our weekly schedule, this Sunday sees the 2nd round of the 2019 Jakarta Inter-League season as Tee Set’s team looks to build on its first round victory over defending champions Tin Cups. As usual, for those Tee Set players participating in JIL (whether for Tee Set or otherwise), please also sign up as normal for the weekly competition so we can capture you for both events.
To join us for the fun of one of Jakarta’s finest courses on Sunday just sign up here as usual. Green fees of Rp850,000 including a shared cart and some free range balls with a tee time of 11.30pm: please be there before 10.45am as we will have a shot-gun start so it takes a little more time to get bags/players organized and out to the respective holes
Tee Set Match-Play Championship
Sunday saw Simon Oxley win 3&2 over Leon Bivolaru whilst an unfortunate injury means Tony Lorenzo has had to forfeit his match versus Matthias Coessens. Simon and Matthias will go through to the next knock-out round.
A reminder to everyone still to complete their first knock-out round matches that these should be completed by 21st April 2019; so there are just 2 weeks left. Please visit the Match Play tab on our web-site to find your opponent and make the arrangements to complete your match before the deadline.
