The Day
After a few weeks taking advantage of the quiet Jagorawi Toll, we decided not to risk the returning holiday traffic on the outer roads of Jakarta by instead taking the short trip south to Pondok Cabe for our first of 2 visits this year. The course was showing the benefits of having had a few weeks of lighter traffic and the 21 Tee Setters who made it this week were treated to a day of bright sunshine and a quick round on almost empty fairways. It seems that most of the carts were still enjoying the holiday break, so most of us got the benefits of a pleasant walk across the undulating fairways whilst taking advantage when ever possible, of the available shade afforded by the many trees on the course.
With many arriving early and the starter getting us off fully 30 minutes early, a small administrative hiccup saw us ending up with one of the group sitting in the club house awaiting the later arrivals to make our final 4 ball. However, with the remaining sign-ups being no shows, Jens sped through the first couple of holes to catch up the rest of the group and was able to enjoy the rest of his round with the company of VP Ric Wymer and Michael Seabrook – apologies to Jens for that.
Our quick round and early start saw the scoring and prize giving all completed before 3.30pm so many could enjoy some extra cool refreshments in the clubhouse or head off early to enjoy the rest of the afternoon elsewhere.
2 newcomers today with Rob McAuley and Miguel Angel Veronesi both given a warm Tee Set welcome. Notable welcome backs to Rob Algie after 13 months and Norman & Lina Bunter after 26 weeks and we hope to see you all out again soon.
Many thanks to VP Ric Wymer for coordinating arrangements on the day and to our Secretary Beby for completing the scoring. Photos of the day are here.
The Play
Almost everyone made it to the results board this week but as usual we started with our booby prizes. A lone skirt for the day to the otherwise big hitting Simon Oxley saw him with a choice of wigs to match his T-shirt for the usual photo. Joining Tee Set for a second week and up again for Monster Putter, Pepi Kurniawan also shared Most Strokes with the returning Lina Bunter.
Also up for a second time in 2 Tee Set outings was Volker Hamann who won First Sandy whilst Most Improved went to Brett Shields and First Par for Handicaps >=30 went to Michael Seabrook.
First Birdie was won by Santi Miller and Low Putts by Roger Finnie whilst completing the set of presentations to the lead off 4 ball was Dave Prosser who took home Low Gross.
Some strong results this week saw Tom Grace edge the Low Net C prize where he was joined by Jens Roestel for Low Net B and Alastair Livingston for Low Net A.
Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results can be see here: Form_ Current Results 09 Juni 2019
Next Up: Riverside 16th June 2019 11.30am shot-gun
In addition to our weekly schedule, this Sunday sees the 3rd round of the 2019 Jakarta Inter-League season as Tee Set’s team looks to build on its solid start to the league. 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 10.30am 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
A reminder to everyone in the Emas bracket that none of the second knock-out round matches have been played (or at a minimum reported as played) and that these should be completed with results sent to James Ross by email by 30th June 2019; so there are just 3 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.
On the other side of the draw, in a Kunning Bracket semi-final, Simon Oxley beat Santi Miller 4&3 to progress to the bracket final where he will await the winner of the Keith Gorman versus Matthew Powell match.
