The Day
A busy Tee Set month of golf came to a close on Sunday with our regular visit to Cengkareng for our 8th Monthly Medal of 2019; 30 players making to short trip west to enjoy a relaxed round and the excellent service in the clubhouse. The weather was bright and sunny but a swirling wind ensured that everyone needed to be careful on their shot selection and scores were a little higher than normal on the day for the course.
One newcomer was given a warm Tee Set welcome on the day with Pakorn Suttiluk joining our growing contingent of Thai golfers coming each week. A warm welcome back to Robert Sweigart and Mikko Heinonen after 37 and 19 weeks, respectively.
Many thanks to VP Ric Wymer and Secretary Beby for looking after the day and the pictures are here.
The Play
As most know, your scribe is travelling and with the VP of Almost Everything rather overcome with the outcome of events at Headingley, written reports shared on the day’s play were rather light. I have tried to decipher most of the pictures sent through but apologies if I missed, or mis-characterized, anyone’s performance below.
Taking home a tri-fecta of booby prizes this week, Monster Putter & Most Strokes awardee, Oliver Fritz, was joined by 3 of our big winners on the day, Brett Shields, David Prosser and Geoff Thwaites, for the Skirt photo. Most Improved was shared this week between Peraphon and Jude Alexander.
First Sandy went to James Ross whilst First Birdie went to Volker Hamann. Low Putts was awarded to Robert Watt and Low Gross on the day was Keith Gorman.
Our Low Net winners this week were Shawn Berg, Lis Wymer and Bretts Shields whilst David Prosser took home both Monthly Medal skill prizes cleaning up the Long Drive and Near Pin awards.
Our Monthly Medalist for August was Geoff Thwaites who scored an impressive 44 points. Geoff gets to have his name engraved on the shield he has sponsored and joins our other medalists for 2019 in the Tee Set honours lists.
Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here: 20190825 Form_ Current Results
