Sunday 6th September 2020 Jagorawi New Course

The Day

A healthy turnout of 35 Tee Setters at Jagorawi to tackle the New Course on Sunday with the weather proving to be just one of the challenges of the day with very hot and humid conditions challenging everyone to remain appropriately hydrated. Another of the challenges seemed to be reading emails sent on Friday & Saturday alerting everyone to the earlier tee time of 11.30am so, despite the course being ready for us, a few of the players were rocking up for a 12pm start. Thankfully, Arron Cole and his team were on top of things and a mini-shot gun allowed us to tee off in good time and with the course being relatively empty in front of us, we were round in good time.

The last of our little challenges was the fact that some of the caddies were new and inexperienced at driving the carts, this caused a few near misses and a couple of crashes before players worked out to drive themselves or walk were the safer options. All in the normal Tee Set day…..

A warm Tee Set welcome to Patrick Chaundy who joined for the first time and welcome backs to Supachai Suesomboon, Samret Raungrit, Joseph D’Cruz, Miguel Angel Veronesi and Jens Roestel.

A thank you to Lis Wymer for assisting with the weekly registrations and scoring on the day and to VP Ric Wymer for leading the prize-giving ceremonies in the continued absence of the President.

The Play

A couple of names very prominently featured on the results sheet. Firstly Max Selle who got the trifecta of booby prizes taking home a Skirt, Most Strokes and Monster Putter; being joined by Dmitri Burge for the Skirt and Jari Antikainen for Most Strokes.

Most Improved went to Alastair Livingston whilst Dmitri got his money back by taking home First Par for Handicaps >=30. First Sandy went to James Bristow whilst June Alexander took home First Birdie. Samret Raungrit took Low Putts.

The irrepressible VP Bill Lloyd pitched in on hole 6 for our only Eagle of the day whilst Richard Mau was up for any number of prizes but taking home Low Gross after his impressive round. Our Low Net winners were Gaurav Shirke, Supachai Suesomboon and Riahana Ariestya.

Detailed results are here: Jags 0609 Results and congratulations to all our winners.

Next Up: Takara Golf Resort Sunday 13th September 11.30am

After a successful inaugural visit to Takara Golf Resort in February and following the good feedback we had from that visit, we have decided to add another visit to the schedule for this Sunday.

Takara is around 55 km west of Jakarta on the Tangerang-Merak Toll, exit one later than Kedaton at the East Balaraja Toll Gate 1 and head south – best look it up on google maps. Please allow 80-90 minutes to get there – last time the journey home was very smooth.

Thanks to Simon Reynolds, We have negotiated a good rate for this return visit at Rp700,000 including cart (usually Rp725,000 walking) and the tee time is 11.30am. If you are interested to sign up and try our this new venue with us please do so here.

The distance is around the same as Rancamaya or Lotus Lakes but for those who usually taxi, we would be happy to help coordinate with other Tee Setters to arrange lift sharing if you are not able to find someone yourselves. Please make a note when signing up in the comments box so we can get onto it early in the week.
