I am having this printed onto my golf buggy windscreen to ensure all I see are blue skies. Yes folk, TeeSet head back to the friendly fields of Gading Raya. Rarely does a ball go missing and rarely do you finish without a few pars on the average golfer scorecard. Pleasant surrounds in the new clubhouse and upgraded lockers and those that self drive, always find a convenient slot. We do need numbers so please sign up as early as possible so we can get the discounted rate. We need 32 players.

Last Sunday we visited the birthplace of TeeSet, Pangkalan Jati. Much has been done to improve the facilities since TeeSet first played there 40 odd years back. The clubhouse is now finished with new tables and chairs in the main area. The oncourse shelters were finished a while back and now they are starting on the course with much needed teebox renovations starting and one green under repair. They have some ground to go on catching up with Pondok Cabe and the new Motoa, when it reopens, must have them worried also.

As we drove South to PJ the storm clouds ahead made for a very good excuse just to not show up, they were black. But hey, It’s TeeSet Sunday and it rarely ever rains on TeeSet Sunday. This Sunday was no exception and the sun even popped out to say hello late in the afternoon.

PJ might get a bit of a bagging from some golfers but it is probably one of the more challenging courses that we play. On many holes if you are not in the right landing area your not in the game. This was the common thread in the after game conversation. If you can master PJ you will find other courses easier. Long and straight probably works on courses like Gading Raya and Cengkareng but a bit of golfing finesse is needed at PJ and from the scores on Sunday show we need to get to the driving range.

Michael started very well until the PJ demons came for him but his start was strong enough to take best Stableford with 38 points.

Rey with 92 takes joint low gross with Craig below. Maybe a new record, best or worst I won’t say.

A happy David with low putts, 29 takes the dough.

Ukraine pin up boy takes first birdie on the 11th. 2 others also birdied this hole but we believe they went for a massage and will remain nameless.

Gee I have never seen such happy golfers picking up a few quid. They are happy as they had had a good arm wrestle with PJ and did better than their TeeSet counterparts who were drinking the blues away. See behind fish below.

4 Club Challenge 15th of February Pondok Cabe

Coming soon this classic event of choose your weapons and don’t look back in fear. Should I use my driver as a putter? How will I get out of bunkers without a sand iron. Ask AI what clubs to use and lose. Don’t bring the wrong ones and don’t borrow your playing partners.

A lot of fun and the caddies love you as the bag is so much lighter and mistakes less often. Also a very nice bottle of wine for best stableford men and women from the Wine Cartel.

Put it in your diary and let’s hear about the mistake you made late on Sunday afternoon of the 15th in the clubhouse.

Ease of organisation.

If you have a 4 ball you wish to play with, let Adhe know before Friday. Last minute changes being organised by late sign ups plays havoc with all the flights. If you are a last minute sign up you will most likely be in a group of similarly late comers. The pairings are done passed on when you sign up. It is not done on Sunday morning when you see it, and want to change.

Onwards to Gading Raya, sign up on MyGolf2U

This Sunday we head to the location friendly course and spiritual home of TeeSet Pangkalan Jati. This course has enough holes to force players to think about club selection and what shot they plan to play. It is no walk in the park. There is ample parking and beer prices are quite refreshing, the chicken on the menu is a favorite of many. If you haven’t played there for a while get on down. The par 4 17th hole does my head in. Sign up on MyGolf2U and find a hole that does your head in. There are a few to choose from. This is a course for golfers with skill or want to improve their skill. Me, it drives me to drink.

Sign up NOW.

Monthly Medal Winner

A bunch of TeeSetters played for the Medal in unfamiliar territory of Riverside, due to The Manor once more hosting an event on Sunday and then cancelling it. New management storming along there.

We had a small field of 24 players as JAkarta’s inclement weather kept the golfers made out of icing sugar at home and a few others were away as still holiday season. What was to be a late start became earlier and earlier as more Riverside members pulled out of their morning comp.

Tim the first Medalist of 2026, testing the gold after racking up 39 points.

Carter takes low gross for the last time with TeeSet with a 74. We have enjoyed the company of Andy and Carter over the last few years. Selamat Jalan, enjoy Melbourne.

Richard nailed the first bird on the 1st hole. Well done.

Upcoming Special Event, 4 Club Challenge 15th of Feb

Once again we return to the vastly improved Pondok Cabe for the always popular, frustrating, challenging 4 club round. Players choose their weapons of choice and may not use any besides the 4 chosen clubs. Loads of fun and at the end to the day you will wonder why you normally carry 13 clubs.

This weekend we have a semi-shot gun start at Riverside, as we play for the first Monthly Medal of the 2026 season. By Sunday the rain clouds will be empty and sun will once again shine on glorious TeeSet. Don’t hesitate sign up now on MyGolf2u. Great facilities with a great driving range for the pre-game warm up.

Last weekend TeeSet headed to Tigaraksa Golf Club where TeeSetters were treated to the clubs hospitality. A brief rain interruption enable to load up on food and beers by the looks of the photo below. Hydration leads to success.

We don’t know if Anchor was an option as our Chairman has sworn of the nectar of the Gods for the month of January, and his game reflected its absence. A quicker drive than getting to the Hill Courses and a challenge layout with a few ponds to keep the hookers and slicers on their toes.

Here are the top 10 finishers

A great round by Roberto with 38 Stableford points and Carter with a low gross 75. These two golfers will soon be leaving us for Golfing in less salubrious conditions. This will give the rest of us a chance to gain a bit of glory, or at least make the top 10 Finishers. Sport is not about winning but about how you played the game. Who ever said that obviously plays from the Red Tee Boxes.

Welcome to our new member Paul Clark

We have a bunch of stuff on the calendar, including the Valentine’s Scramble, Independence Day Scramble, and an occasional Jambalaya Scramble, amongst some of the fun planned. The big change for the year is the Heritage Tour. This will consist of 6 rounds on some of the regions most iconic courses. The best Lady and best Man combined Stableford score will be winning prizes that will be the envy of the golfing world, and that is probably an understatement, not.

So remember MyGolf2U to get on the list for the Monthly Medal and all the golfing fun that comes with it. First time readers can find the MyGolf2U app in the App Store of their phone.

Let’s Golf On

Mister Mister

The easy drive to Kedaton, 45 minutes via the new toll, meant I arrived in plenty of time to go and practise my chipping and putting. My putting is fine my short game is terrible, so I sat down and ordered a coke. I needed to wash the cobwebs out of the system after the previous days 7km hash in Sentul with 500m of ascent. Luckily I managed to short cut that down to 3.5Km and just over 200 of ascent. There ain’t no shortcutting 18 holes. Unless of course you are the Gimmie Master.

Anyways, with a small group assembled this weekend, as players disappear back to the Northern Hemisphere to enjoy limited daylight and freezing conditions, 16 keen TeeSetters took to the fairways and greens of Kedaton. We were ushered off to the tee boxes ahead of schedule which raised our hopes of avoiding any rain and an early finish for a longer post match warm down. Two flights of 1 and 3 off 10. Plenty of time to get to know everyone as we waited for the 2 four balls and 2 2 ball flights to tee off . We missed our tee off time by 25 minutes due to Starter incompetence. Tell us we are teeing off at 12.30 fine, gives me more time to think about practising.

The weather was overcast, the wind was blowing at 16 mph from the Southwest and temperatures were favourable. As per usual a duck hook off the first tee set my game up and a score of a double bogey was duly entered in the scoring system. Sometime after the 4th hole it dawned upon me I should have spent a bit of time practising my chipping as I raked up thins, fats and chunks around the green. Language was getting bluer. Meanwhile Tom and James golfed on in a more calm and skilled manner than what I had going. Behind us Ryan was hitting very long drives and Michael was bombing golfers on neighbouring tee boxes and Frank was nailing birdies on long par 3s. The only lady on the course Elena was being escorted around the course by Marius & Tim. Obviously Elena had the better round as she was the only one to enter her scores officially.

On the other side of the course 3 birdies put a smile on Andrea’s face but he was a bit disappointed with the all round showing. Roberto only shows up when there’s trophies to be won so took it easy at Kedaton. Behind them Richard played his usual solid round of golf picking up the low gross prize and playing the course to his handicap. Bill was also solid, someone needs to check his beer bag. Has consumption fallen? Brothers, Axel & Kai were a little fatigued after finishing 8 rounds in 8 days. Axel’s suggestion of a Sunday night game at Modern was ignored by Kai.

Ryan picks up the money for besty stableford 39.

Richard propped up after his low gross round by Kai on the left and Axel on the right. They could be twins. Spot the differences for a chance to win a free beer.

36 Golfers, One Windy Day, and a Starter with a Twist

If you were anywhere near Gading Raya Golf Club on our latest outing, you probably heard the sound of laughter, groans, and balls ricocheting off trees. That’s right—TeeSet assembled a mighty 37 golfers for a day that turned out to be as unpredictable as a bunker shot with a putter.

The Weather: Nature’s Own Hazard

The forecast said “fine”, but Mother Nature had other ideas. The wind was less of a gentle breeze and more like an overenthusiastic caddy—blowing hats off heads, sending scorecards flying, and turning perfectly straight drives into accidental doglegs. If you aimed for the fairway, you were rewarded with a trip to the rough. And if you aimed for the rough—well, you probably ended up on the fairway. Even the birds seemed confused, flying sideways in the gusts.

The Great Delay: Starter’s Surprise

Just when our intrepid golfers found their rhythm on the first nine, the day took a turn for the theatrical. The starter, whose love for chaos rivals our own, decided to spice things up by squeezing extra flights into the schedule. Suddenly, the back nine resembled rush hour in Jakarta, with golf carts bumper to bumper and players practising their most creative waiting stances. Rumor has it that some TeeSetters considered setting up a temporary bar at the tee box—just to pass the time.

On the Course: Wind, Wedges, and Wobbly Putts

Golf balls were doing impressions of boomerangs, and even the most seasoned TeeSet golfer seemed determined to explore every inch of the course—sometimes twice. On Hole 12, one player’s drive was last seen heading for the driving range… of the neighbouring club. Chip shots were rebranded as “chip-and-chase” routines, and putts defied physics, rolling uphill, downhill, and occasionally off the green entirely. The wind was so strong that one golfer claimed his slice had straightened out. Miracles do happen, folks.

TeeSet’s Final Thoughts

Despite the wind, the waiting, and the wild shots, everyone left Gading Raya with a smile—and a story to tell. Some say golf is a game of patience and skill. At TeeSet, we believe it’s about laughter, camaraderie, and seeing who can lose the most balls in a single round, me.

Until next time, may your drives be straight and your starters stick to the schedule!

This Sunday Jakarta Interleague Cengkareng

The final round of the Interleague and if the golf gods smile upon the glorious TeeSet Team there is a slim chance of lifting the trophy. We have a full field for the day. Probably due to the free BBQ on offer. Corkage has been paid by the Interleague Authorities so feel free to bring a bottle and share in the day’s tall stories.

Please not tee time and be on time as there is a big field.

Sunday 23^rd the Thwaites Cup of Meadlists & Low Gross Cup at Cengkareng
