The day that was ….Singgasana JAWS Worlds Cup 2021 at Sentul Highlands
The old saying goes: “They’re men, if they stop competing they die!” As humans isn’t this what we live for?
Playing competitive sport against fellow players, testing our skills and mental strength in the heat of match-play competition whilst representing your country of origin against the ‘other side’, for pride of our nations and bragging rights, is this the ultimate of men and women’s sporting desires….
Friday 5th February 2021 will be a date forever remembered in the JAWS Golf society, after one year of social golf games and internal individual match-play games: 05.02.21 was round 1 of the inaugural Singgasana JAWS World Cup between Team Asia and Team Rest of the World. Team Asia was led into battle by Captain Gaurav Shirke and Vice Captain Pras Sutowo and Team R.O.W was led out by Captain Willie Goldschmidt and Vice Captain Chris Lever.
This Friday was the first round of four rounds of match-play competition, with each team consisting of 20 players competing once another in the format of singles match-play.
With the individual matches being drawn a few weeks before the game this led ample time for the heat and temperatures to build up and the sledging to proceed backward and forward, face to face and online on the whatsapp chat groups all in the good spirit of competition.
On paper both teams looked very evenly balanced and it would have taken a genius to predict the final outcome of the match favoring either side before tee off.
Full kudos must go to the Team Captains for assembling their lineup of players, matching their players match by match with considerations of players handicaps and playing abilities and arranging the team kit, with both teams looking the part before tee off taking it in turns to pose for group photo’s overlooking the 18th Hole on the Club House balcony.
As if there wasn’t enough drama already, all week running up to the Friday game heavy rain fell every day in Sentul and several JAWs players reported a very wet and sodden course during the midweek Wednesday morning practice round.
As the sun tried it’s hardest to come out on match day the reality was still damp and very wet calling for lift clean and place on the fairways and lift clean and drop from the rough with standing water prevalent on all 18 holes.
Beggars can’t be choosers, the game went on despite the wet conditions and fair play to the maintenance team on site keeping the greens running true and fast and ideal for fierce match-play competition despite the relentless rainfall in the region all week.
All matches were complete, and despite some late afternoon rainfall and disruptions 20 match scorecards were submitted. As always a few matches results raised a few eyebrow’s and as ever some underdog’s prevailed and proved a point to their captains.

A. No! Once the player is positioning himself to address and hit the ball, the caddie is not allowed to stand stand behind the player any more. It is not important, whether the caddie is actively mentioning a direction or the caddie is only watching. (1 stroke penalty)
