The Day

A bright sunny day welcomed 38 Tee Setters to Cengkareng for our July Monthly Medal and with the traffic being relatively light for most players, plenty of us arrived a little ahead of plans which gave us time to enjoy the excellent service and relaxed atmosphere of the club house or to have a gentle stretch and warm up ahead of the round.

Although the tee boxes were a little busy for the afternoon starters, we were to head off on time as usual and enjoyed a relatively untroubled and relaxed round with the firm fairways and smooth greens enabling those playing well to return some good scores reflected by 25% of players returning scores better than their handicaps on the day.

Sunday was the last round for a couple of our regular players over the last couple of years with both Matthew Powell (Calgary) and Chris Lever (Egypt) leaving us – for the time being – to pastures new. Both gave a small speech of thanks to the group and were kind enough to spend their last rupiah on a few jugs which were shared around. We wish you both bon voyage and hopefully see you back for your holidays soon.

Refreshing our ranks were 4 newcomers and a warm Tee Set welcome was given to Ezra Alexander, Jude Alexander (no relation), Paul Chenier and Tanta Tarigan. Welcome backs this week included Howard Short after an impressive 393 weeks and Zeno Barburia after 124 weeks. We hope to see you all out again soon.

Thank you to Brenda Mayland for managing all the sign-ups and scoring on the day and to VP Ric Wymer for the weekly registrations.

The Play

Our first presentation of the day was actually a hangover from last month with June’s Monthly Medal winner, Ronald Lim, being on hand to be presented with his medal and for us to capture of photo of him with the Trophy. Congratulations again Ronald.

As usual, we then went onto the fun awards and although we had no Monster Putter this week, we did capture 4 skirts with newcomer Jude Alexander being joined by Rakesh Surampudi, Andrew Shaw and Mike Riggs for the photo. Most Strokes went to Audie Kaunang and Most Improved to Roger Finnie.

Impressive though his double Sandy Par was, Mark Johnson was still to receive our regular reward for this skill prize along with Jude Alexander and Ronald Lim. First Birdie went to Ezra Alexander whilst Low Putts went to Tanta Tarigan and Low Gross to Tim Knight.

Our Low Net winners on the day were the departing Matthew Powell, Arnold Castillon and Rakesh Surampudi. For the Monthly Medal skill prizes, Long Drive went to Simon Reynolds and Nearest the Pin to Grant Lutz.

Our 7th Monthly Medalist for 2019 was Joe Callahan who returned 40 points to claim the shield for this month.

Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here: Form_ Current Results for CGK 28 Jul 19

Tee Set Eclectic X

Heading into the final round, Eclectic VII winner, James Ross, had a small but important lead over a chasing pack headed by round 2 leader Matthew Powell. Whilst most of the chasing pack improved by 2 -3 strokes, James was unfortunate not convert an otherwise below handicap round into an improvement in his Eclectic score. As a result, Matthew Powell’s birdie on his last hole before departing Jakarta was enough to sneak him past James and take home the Trophy as our Eclectic X winner. Commiserations to James and congratulations to Matthew.

Our wait for a repeat winner goes on and with the board wiped clean, Eclectic XI will commence with August’s Monthly Medal round.

Tee Set Match Play

 The last Quarter-final match was played on Sunday with Divya Prakash Ahuja defeating   Simon Reynolds  3&2.  Divya moves onto the Emas Bracket final to play Roger Finnie for a place in the final where the winner will square off against Kuning Bracket winner, Simon Oxley, for the Ric Wymer Match-Play Cup.
