The monthly medal came early this month due to the Zikar Cup being played at Jagorawi and clashing with the start of the new season of the Jakarta Interleague. Rather thanthrow the toys out of the pram TeeSet changed the date of their monthly medal. A decision that the golfing gods smiled upon with sunny conditions being seen for the first time in a long time on a Sunday afternoon in Jakarta. The Pawon Hujan (Rainman) was not needed this week and many a chicken was spared.

The President is away on holidays ( check the kitty) so a most able replacement was found in the form of Roger Finnie to run the day’s activities. 43 players graced the course which is a perfect number. In the words of Goldilocks “Not too big and not too small, just right.” Keeping on the Fairy tale theme there were a few fairy tale performances on the Sunday with none better than Terrence Martin who came storming home with a 38 to break 80 for the first time and secure the monthly medal. Who said fairy tales don’t come true? On TeeSet they do just ask Terrence. there were two other players that shared the same points but Terrence emerged the winner on count back. Well done to Anna and Shinta for making Terrence work. The rest of you will need to lift your game.

The TeeSet annual Matchplay championship also got underway on the Sunday with 2 matches decided. Tom going down to Jens 3 & 2 and Renny falling to Cucu in a nailbiter 2 & 1. Golfers participating in the matchplay comp please when scheduling your games also tell Adhe to ensure ease of flight management. Ezra, I will be back for the next Monthly medal.

Next week is the first round of the Interleague, it seems the Tin Cups have recruited 80 players for the up coming season leaving TeeSet struggling. Let us know if you can play this Sunday, Shield leader, Dean, is ready to play. Great way to get some match play experience. The interleague first round will be played from Jagorawi New Course and TeeSet will also be playing there.

Easter is just around the corner and so is the annual Bandung Bash at Giri Gahana a lovely mountain course with its own toll access. Now a very easy drive from Jakarta. For more details and registration please visit http://www.bandungbash.com

It is with great difficulty that I have been typing this as I was struck down on the eve of depature by Chikungya. Picture if you must Stephen Hawkins typing. So now I have two things in common with Hawkins I type like him and I putt like him. So remember to refgister on MyGolf2u for next week’s game at Jagorawi.

Terrence Martin is this month’s Kojo Medal Winner, with the best round of his life. Looking forward to seeing you in the TeeSet interleague Team next week?
