Event Overview

The TeeSet Monthly Medal, originally scheduled at Cengkareng Golf Club, experienced an unexpected change of venue when Cengkareng failed to honour the booking. The event was successfully relocated to Imperial Golf Club, where a modest but enthusiastic crowd of 24 golfers gathered for what was the final opportunity to qualify for the prestigious Medallists final round—the decisive stage to determine the best among the medallists. Additionally, this was the last qualifying round for low gross players to secure a spot in the upcoming battle of the low gross champions. The list of qualifying players will be announced within the week.

Course Conditions

Imperial Golf Club presented a reasonable playing surface, with its signature Teletubby layout providing a tight and challenging experience. The course featured an abundance of water hazards and bunkers, requiring precision and strategy from all participants. Notably, the author of this report recorded the most out-of-bounds (OB) strokes on a single hole—a humbling reminder of the course’s demands.

Highlights and Winners

Stableford Winner: Hitoshi, with a stellar 38 points. His round began with a birdie and, despite ending with a double bogey, was marked by consistent and fine golf.
Low Gross: Roger, scoring 83, impressed with accurate iron play throughout.
Nearest the Pin: Paul (2.56m) and Shinta (4.52m) showcased their skillful approach shots.
Long Drive & Low Putts: Richard excelled in both categories but had to leave early.
First Birdie: Jason was the first to notch a birdie on the day ( a bit after Hitoshi).

Weather and Delays

The round was interrupted by a rainstorm and lightning warning, resulting in a delay of 1 hour and 15 minutes. During the pause, there was some talk of tequila shots courtesy of Bags, but the group eventually settled for beers—enjoyed by Bags, Thomas, and the author, whilst Richard attempted to stir up the bees.

Personal Notes and Atmosphere

For some, what began as a personal quest for the Medal did not end as hoped, yet the camaraderie and spirit of the day ensured it remained enjoyable. Frank Pan made a memorable impression by eating upon arrival and ordering another substantial meal after completing his round. The group was also pleased to welcome JP back from his European travels.

Apologies and Looking Ahead

Please accept apologies for the delayed report—recent flood-related business contributed to the lateness. Looking forward, the next major event is The Championship, scheduled for Saturday, 29th of November. Interested players should notify Adhe to confirm participation.
