Another great turnout with 40 players registered and 36 submitting scores on MyGolf2U, which prompts a reminder for all players to enter their scores. This drives handicaps, which are used across different golf societies and now in many other events. Lightning and rain delayed play and some players, not necessarily Tee Setters, chose to stay under shelter and not let groups through, which slowed play down for many of our groups.
The event was stableford format and Tee Set is a net golf society, which means net scores are recognised first. When a sharp shooter like Richard has best net (stableford) score and equal low gross, it can cause a little confusion, but this is how the results should read:
First – Best Stableford Score – Richard 41 points
Second – Carol 39 points
Third – Jiro 38 points
Low Gross – Andrew 74 (noting Richard had the same gross but cannot win twice)
Well done to all winners and to Carol for leading in the ladies. Prizes will be honoured and any gaps will be made up next week.
Pace of Play
With rain now interrupting most rounds and limiting daylight time, we need to ask players again to be super conscious of pace of play, with the standard tips to speed up your rounds:
- Play ready golf – if you are ready to hit your ball and it is safe to do so, then play when ready
- Be ready when it’s your tee shot and limit your pre-shot routine, two practice swings max
- Play a provisional ball if there is any doubt at all about finding your tee shot
- Read your putts on your way to the ball and while your playing partners are putting – obviously staying still while they putt.
- If it’s stableford, pick up after you have no chance of scoring a point, and perhaps most importantly
- keep up with the group in front, not the team behind!!!
Next Up: Sunday 14th November, 2021: Damai Indah – BSD Course (Bumi Serpong Damai)
One of the Golden Bear’s great Indonesian courses – every hole well designed. It is a very long course, so Gents play off the white tees.
Please have all documentation ready as usual for entry as they are strict. Green fees are slightly higher than usual, still capped at 1 juta, and represent value for money.
Registrations are now open on MyGolf2U, with 23 slots currently available. Get on it!!!
