Kojo TeeSet Monthly Medal at Cengkerang

With a huge rain cloud hanging over Jakarta golf seems to be a perilous sport to be playing with the constant threat of rounds not finishing, or even worse being rained out before it begins. Sunday dawned with just such conditions but with a quick visit to pawanghujan.com and an appropriate fee for the execution of a flock of chickens the President headed to the course confident of good weather. On arrival there was a sea breeze blowing in chasing the rain clouds away. The Pawang Hujan had done his job. The chickens I am told end up in KFC.

We had pretty much a fully booked round but due to a couple of injuries and illness we had a few late withdrawals. Guys we hope you have a speedy recovery and we soon see you swinging away at TeeSet. Numbers started to build as Adhe took the days fees and answered questions on pairings. The President was busy shaking down golfers to buy tickets in the meat tray raffle and Claudio was busy chatting up the ladies of TeeSet. A few golfers were having early beers to steady their nerves before the battle for the medal began.

Word came early that transportation around the golf course would only be by Shanks’ pony. The President reached for his knee and quietly wept. Next in was the news that tee off would be delayed by 30 minutes due to a big down poor in the morning which had delayed the morning rounds. Shortly after 12.15 most golfers headed to their respective starting tee, except JP who went to the wrong one. TeeSetters waiting on tee box 10 were entertained by a few flights of young Japanese golfers. Tee shots were flying everywhere. This boded badly for a slow round and the first 9 holes were pretty slow. Alastair nailed a nice sandy on the second, his birdie putt was pretty impressive also.

Due to the later start and some slow golfers in front of TeeSet a few flights finished in the dark. TeeSet endeavour to get tee times that enable us to finish in the light but sometimes Mother Nature frowns upon golfers. But one golfer who had the time of his life including an eagle and an impressive gross 70 off the whites was Richard Mau, great golfing.

Next Sunday we venture out to Gading Raya. Gading Raya will have carts available. We hope to see as many people there as we had last Sunday and that Soggy Jakarta starts to dry out a bit. There are another 5 weeks before we will have a winner in the shield so plenty of time to put in a couple of good rounds and make a challenge.
