Over the (extended) weekend, there were games at Sedayu, Kedaton, Cengkareng, Modern, Bali and of course Neil in Miami, welcome back mate. Ian is on his way over to take his mate on, and their handicaps are converging as we speak. We’ll report results of this grudge match once Ian fights his way through another quarantine, enforced chipping practice stint. In all, 19 players submitted scores.

Really great to see cases coming down, vaccinations going up and courses in Jakarta and surrounds opening up, The teams at the courses are still working out their protocols around entry, vaccination certificates, negative tests, etc so some players have been turned away. You need the PeduliLindungi app for sure so load it up if you haven’t already. If you have a foreign vaccine certificate, then get ready to show it, along with a hardcopy ID (passport or SIM) which demonstrates that you are the person on the certificate (name and date of birth). Of course, all courses are different so stay patient and work through it if you can with the staff. While capacities remain limited by regulations, they are not accepting group bookings or allowing presentations, so we will continue to spread out in smaller groups and report our games through here for now.

Some very good rounds again this week. under 30 points, we had the guys playing the tough new links course Sedayu – Hari, Randy, Divya and Andrew, Ezra, Bags, Craig (high gravity) and Jeremy. On 32 we had Rav, Terence, Eric and Craig (low gravity); on 33 we had Richard, on 34 Shawn, on 35 was Michael, then on 36 Neil (Miami), 37 – Ian (yep pipped him by one), 38 – second top, and a great round, was Mike….and with a brilliant round of 81 gross, 43 points was Jiro our winner this week.

Thanks again for making the effort to send photos and scores in. If you keep doing that, I’ll keep writing this up. Of course, we would rather be having live comps, but this is the best we can do now, and at least we are out playing golf again.
