The Day

A slightly overcast and therefore cooler day greeted the 68 golfers who arrived for Sunday’s game at Riverside which saw Sunday’s regular Tee Set outing being held in parallel to the final round-robin games of this year’s Jakarta Inter-League matches. A slight breeze and the course playing well ensured some good scores were returned. A big thank you again to the Riverside team for all their arrangements to look after us.

Although several players headed out early, many took the opportunity to chill after the game and enjoy a refreshment or 2 later into the evening.

A warm welcome to our newcomer Salmon Titus Agung and welcome backs to William Daniel and Graham Pasonage after 74 and 32 weeks, respectively. Thank you to VP Ric Wymer for taking care of the scoring and prize-giving and to Jens Roestel for assisting with the morning arrangements.

The Play

No skirts this week but Michael Seabrook cleaned up on the other booby prizes with Monster Putter and Most Strokes, the latter shared with Timo Karonen. First Sandy was taken by Alastair Livingston whilst Bill Lloyd and Juju Juhaeriah shared First Birdie and Santi Miller was our flat stick hero for Low Putts.

Low Gross was shared between Simon Reynolds and Richard Mau whilst David Prosser took Low Net honours alongside Supachai Suesomboon (Christine’s card being a late submission so sorry you missed out) and Lis Wymer. A special call out to Graham Parsonage who showed no signs of rust after his layoff and to Lis who shot an excellent 92 to take reclaim the Wymer Cup!

Congratulations to all the winners and the detailed results are here: Riverside 1110 Results
