Sunday 3rd November Gading Raya

The Day

A thank you to Gading Raya who hosted us at short notice and made their usual strong effort to ensure we had a good day out with arrangements on the course and in the club house going smoothly. The strong turnout of 40 Tee Setters enjoyed a good day out and some excellent scores, both gross and net, were returned. A SNAFU in the administration process means we cannot recover the usual reporting templates but nevertheless we are able to provide some colour on the day as usual.

One newcomer this week with Andy Coop receiving a warm Tee Set welcome. Our welcome backs were all impressive returnees with Mike Taylor, Joe Alchi, Maurice and Pandit Dres all back after about 1 year and Aljosja Van Dorssen after 32 weeks.

The Play

Gading Raya is a friendly, fairly flat course but still with the capability to catch the unwary and our 3-way tie for Most Strokes of 10 between Simon Oxley, Joe Alchi and Frank Wilson pleased the Treasurer after the rather low return of 2 skirts from Joe Alchi and newcomer Andy Coop. A welcome back but clearly not having practiced with the flat stick in between games saw Maurice Dres claim Monster Putter after 47 strokes on the greens. Joe however was able to recover his fine by claiming First Par for Handicaps >=30.

Simon Oxley also recovered his fine with Most Improved, Dave Prosser and Pandit Dres shared First Birdie and Richard Mau scored First Sandy. Aljosja Van Dorssen was our Low Putter on the day after 27 Putts.

Our Low Gross after an excellent 76 went to Jeff Landau. Low Net prizes saw the continued good form of both Anna Wilson and Brett Shields after net 66’s and they were joined by a welcome return to form Mark Johnson who scored a net 69.

Congratulations to all our winners on the day. The A team was back this week to handle proceedings so a big thank you to VP Ric Wymer for taking charge of the day and our secretary Beby for the registrations and scoring as well as catching up with a little backlog of handicap entries.

Based on previous years, expect a full 12 hours of fun as the party rocks until the course closes after having opened it at 5.30am for registrations ahead of a 7.ooam shot-gun start.
