The Day

A good turnout for the popular and pretty Rancamaya course which stepped up to host us at the last minute after Permata Sentul had a competition on the Sunday morning. We were to learn that so did Rancamaya but concerns were allayed when we found out it was a small members group and our arrangements were unaffected. However, to be safe a mini-shot gun was arranged and all was going well until the starter forgot we had been assigned the upstairs area for registrations and sent off half our groups before everyone was gathered in the correct groups meaning that we had a number of 2 balls spread out amongst our 4 balls.

All would have been fine but for some random groups getting inserted in the spaces between our players which delayed some groups sufficiently for them to get caught in the late afternoon downpour with around 3 or 4 holes to go. C’est la Vie and the risk of the area at the outset of the rainy season but the quality of the course and fresh mountain air meant most people were relaxed and several groups stayed for some late refreshments to avoid the rain affect toll traffic.

A warm welcome to Susanne Holl and to Sathaporn who joined us for the first time and welcome backs to Warut Waramit (35 weeks) and Sean Hill (24 weeks) along with the unmentioned President who was back after 2 months out for his knee operation.

Many thanks to VP Ric Wymer who managed the scoring and announcements and to Richard Mau for his assistance in the morning.

The Play

A hat-trick of fines this week with Sathaporn (Most Strokes) being joined by Monster Putter Richie Tiblani and our only skirt, much to the dismay of our Treasurer, Indar Dhaliwal.

Most Improved went to Tapio Jarvenpaa and First Par Handicaps >-30 to Susanne Holl who got a shirt in lieu of her prize money. First Birdie went to Jari Antikainen whilst Roger Finnie took home Low Putts.

Dave Prosser and Gurav Shirke shared Low Gross whilst Richard Mau, Jude Alexander and Michael Mueller were our Low Net winners.

Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here: Rancamaya 1810 Results

Call for sponsors

Thank you to those sponsors who have confirmed their renewal for this year’s event. Not unexpectedly, a few of our regular sponsors have also been challenged by the current situation are not able to renew so we are looking for a couple of new sponsors to ensure we can make the day run as smoothly as ever. Please contact Ric Wymer if you can help out at any level.

New President: Your Society Needs You!

With the existing President reaching his 4th Championship at the head of the Society, we are calling for new blood to step-up and take Tee Set forward. If you are willing to take on this prestigious position and wish to put your name in the hat for the election which will be held at the Championships, please contact our election convener, Keith Miller at keith.steuart.miller@gmail.com
