16 pairs went out to compete in the inaugural TeeSet Merdeka Scramble hosted by Jens & Shinta at the challenging Jagorawi Z9 course. Each pair played 9 holes off the red tee boxes then played 9 off the white tee boxes. The Z9 sends a shiver down the spine of many a seasoned golfer with its tight lies and Sunday was no different. The course was in immaculate condition and it was reserved for the enjoyment/torture of the TeeSetters.
Jens had spent several weeks in preparing the days event ensuring the day went off without a hitch. Players were paired, starting holes designated and the shotgun start was away at 12.30 in beautiful golfing weather. Many golfers were resplendently attired in Red & White. No waiting for the whole day, as we were perfectly spaced and a ball hit wayward was a ball never seen again so no time wasted looking for it.
We had two skill holes on each 9 and obviously they were the same two holes. Long drive on 8 and nearest the pin on 9. The nearest the pin on 9 looks a bit more challenging off the whites especially for the ladies. Having typed that, I believe only one person(male) made the green from the whites. Well done Bagus.
So far this season we have had Valentine’s Day Scramble, Red, White & Blue (French National Day), Jambalaya Scramble, Golfing on the Whoosh, and now the Merdeka Day Scramble. The feedback from all those that have competed in these events has been nothing but positive and the committee has taken onboard the few areas that need to be improved on in each event. We the committee appreciate your feedback and we try to incorporate as much as is relevant in improving the golfing experience of all TeeSetters. We are here to serve. With this in mind a big thanks to Jens & Shinta who single-handley organised last Sunday’s wonderful event.

The favorite course of many TeeSetters is back in action next Sunday. Download the MyGolf2U app and register. I believe we have a semi-shotgun start. A great day with the dry season upon us and the ball finally rolling long down the fairway. Make sure you get there to enjoy a great day with TeeSet.
