True enjoyment awaited the TeeSet golfers who went out to contest last month’s medal. The weather in Asia has been pretty hot this last fortnight and Sunday midday was no different. The President had put in a couple of days preparation for the Medal, Friday saw him propping up the bar at EP until some ungodly hour (The hour when they close it). Saturday it was off on the Batavia Hash House Harriers run which always ends messy, guaranteed. So feeling a million bucks, well a million Rups, it was off to challenge for the Medal. Men off blues ladies off red. That first tee box, the blue was way at the back. Drove it straight down the middle to the corner. Luckily they have lots of drink stops on the course to take the pain away. Others fared better see below.

Medal winner Thijs Penning with a nett 66. Came for the golf stayed for the beer.

Claudio back in the winners’ circle with a gross 81 for best gross. Winners are grinners. Also seen stumbling off the 17th into the Marshal’s cart to be assisted to the 18th. He could stand unassisted on the first so no rules broken.

No mucking around in the heat for Manish nailed a birdie on the first hole. Well done.

Velma takes the pretty flamingoes for 28 with the flat stick.

Well done to James with a Sandy Birdie. Two thumbs up for that one on the 10th.

Long Driving David took the chocolates today for the men with a well positioned drive of 235m a bit longer in yards.

68cm, give or take an inch or two, is how close John was to the pin when it mattered on the NTP hole.

With a fist full of flamingoes Shinta takes long drive 198m and nearest the pin 277cm. Well done now to master the flat stick.

KEDATON this Sunday

A lovely course, whilst quite flat has a few hazards to keep you on your toes. A great clubhouse and good food. The men have the option of playing off white. A great warm up round for the coming DOGS match play challenge the following week in Rancamaya. So maybe organise a few unofficial matchplay games this Sunday to get you up to speed on Matchplay pressure. Sign up on MyGolf2U ASAP to avoid disappointment.

If you wish to contact the secretary or any committee member late at night feel free to whatsapp a message and it will be promptly answered 7 or 8 hours later after breakfast.
