D.O.G.S. Penultimate Round at Gunung Geulis Country Club
Hail the D.O.G.S.!!!!!
The 38 players who came out to enjoy our penultimate round of this tournament found a course well prepared and ready for us to it the tee box tee on time. Following the obligatory photos on the scenic 1st hole the lead group teed off and play moved swiftly around the course without delay. Sunny skies blessed the D.O.G.S. for the entire round. After play golfers were streaming onto the patio in time to enjoy the last bit of daylight. The main point of after golf discussion was the greens which continue to confound the D.O.G.S. with only 1 player managing to get under 30 putts.
Welcome to Inge Lauwrent, Tarja Alamattila and Samuli Jalava. Good to see Timo Karonen who is in town for a visit and made the effort to come out. Also great to see Aknes Berkenhoff showing off her toughness (or is it stubbornness), making an early return from her injury suffered during the second round. John Packer and Joe Callahan were also back, don't be away so long next time gents.
We had several double winners in the skill prizes with Jacob Smith taking a Nearest to Pin and Longest Drive while Jude Alexander grabbed Putting Champion along with Runner up. Bobby Cangkrama took the other Nearest to Pin and Divya Ahuja got the second Longest Drive. The Drive & Pitch prizes were shared by Roberto Daniele and Tarja Alamattila. Joe Callahan brought along Inge Lauwrent and the happy couple clearly were thinking of other things than golf while touring the course with Inge taking Most Exercise and Joe the Booby Prize.
Akhil Aggarwal, who is determined to remain at the top of the leaderboard for a start to finish run, won both the Lowest Gross and Weekly Champion.
A big congratulations to all our winners this week!
Akhil is slowing down only making one improvement but remains at the top of the leaderboard. There has been some shuffling in the pack chasing him setting up what is sure to be a competitive final round. The Lowest Gross standings are quite interesting with just 1 round to go Shinta Sari is sitting at the top. You can see the full results here.
Thank you to the groups for bringing in the flags. As a reminder, if you are the last group on one of the second nines please remember to pick up the flags as you play.
Another reminder for players to show up before our scheduled tee times. Do not turn up for the times listed in myGolf2u for groups. These are simply place holders. We will adjust as the course allows. Late arrivals make things difficult for administration. If you are running late please let us know.
Please sign up early as usual and if you have a group you would like to play with let Rod know your preferred playing partners and make sure you have confirmed that your preferred playing partners are their preferred playing partners!

Thinking about choosing an academic high school, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. The balance between classroom learning and practical exploration can shape a student's interests. This is why I would approach academic high school education with a specific question rather than a fixed expectation. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. What would you look for when comparing different study profiles?
My first thought about building better everyday study habits is that the everyday experience deserves as much attention as the larger explanation. Small routines can help students begin work even when motivation is low. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about student study habits. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. What makes a study routine realistic enough to maintain throughout a school term?
What draws my attention to using digital tools in vocational learning is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. Digital resources are most useful when they help students practise a recognisable workplace task. It also gives the phrase digital vocational education a clearer meaning than a label on its own. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. Which activities benefit from an online tool and which still need hands-on practice?
Considering making online counselling easier to approach, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Knowing how a first conversation works can reduce uncertainty about asking for support. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about online counselling information. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. What practical information should be available before someone books an online session?
I can see why making personal safety education age appropriate would invite discussion, since different people will bring different experiences to the same question. Clear language about boundaries makes an awkward subject easier to discuss respectfully. It also gives the phrase personal safety education a clearer meaning than a label on its own. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. How can lessons about personal safety remain understandable at different ages?
