The Day
A quiet day at Modern with a few late cancellations and other events elsewhere on Sunday seeing just 4 flights heading out for our weekly event. With the starter getting us off bang on time and placing the other groups opposite to us, we were to enjoy a quick round under bright sunny skies.
Play was finished by just after 4pm and with the small numbers, we were all completed with the scoring by 4.30pm. This left us plenty of time to celebrate with our 2 birthday boys, Geoff Thwaites and Jeff Durham before heading home in time to catch which-ever sporting event was the preferred flavour on what was a busy Sunday evening of events.
Rafa Hussein was our sole newcomer on the day and he was given a warm Tee Set welcome. Welcome backs to Richard D’Cruz and father Joseph D’Cruz along with Jochen Overberg, Pieter Nielen-Groen and Matt McGowan.
Many thanks to VP Ric Wymer for managing the scoring on the day and photos can be found here: Photos Modern
The Play
14 players made it to the results sheet with just Tan Chee Hwa failing to get a mention at the end of the day; so you are note left out Tan 🙂 ….
Some winners were also fined with our sole skirt on the day, Pieter Nielen-Groen taking home first Birdie and Most Strokes awardee Geoff Thwaites also winning First Sandy. Geoff was joined by Jari Antikainen, Jochen Overberg and Timo Karonen for Most Strokes. Completing the fines was Richard D’Cruz who had trouble on the greens and thus was awarded Monster Putter.
Not to be out-done by his playing partner, our other birthday boy, Jeff Durham celebrated winning Most Improved. VP Ric Wymer’s hot putter saw him take home Low Putts whilst Roger Finnie won Low Gross. Our Low Net winners on the day were Simon Reynolds, Joseph D’ Cruz and Laurie O’Connor.
Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results can be found here: Form_ Current Results modern220919
Next Up: Monthly Medal Cengkareng Sunday 29th September 2019
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 9th Monthly Medal of 2019, this week will also be the 2nd round of Cycle XI of the Tee Set Eclectic. With Cycle X winner, Matthew Powell, having departed Jakarta, we will definitely have a new winner: will it be another new name on the Trophy or will one of our past Champions rise to the occasion again.?
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.
Sunday will see the final of the Tee Set Match Play Championship being played with either Inter-League Captain, Simon Oxley, or President, Roger Finnie, being crowned as the 2019 Champion. The winner will also be the recipient of the Ric Wymer Trophy presently held by 2018 champion, Jens Roestel.
Reminder: For those who would prefer not to walk, in addition to the hover boards to glide across the rolling fairways, Cengkareng has available 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
