The Glorious

When TeeSet play the Interleague excitement quite intense prevails amongst their barrackers. This is the round where the breakaways accor. This was the round where you don’t want to fall. This was the round where a team’s mettle is fully tested. This was the round where The Glorious strode to victory. Led by our Captian, Arnold, the pairings were perfect. We we playing the Gloggies on there home turf, Jagorawi Old Course. Many of our team had never played this course but win we did. The 2 singles of Daniel and Frank split a win and a lose, with Daniel returning to form and Frank having a tough day against a player who knows the course inside out. The boys from the Philippines had a close game but Joemar with a run of pars helped keep the Cloggies at bay and a couple of clutch pars over the final holes by Arnold held off the opposition. A glorious win over the Cloggies premier pairing. The ladies of TeeSet stood tall to record the best pairs win of the day with Silvy and Trisna on top from start to finish. Silvy played to her HCP help cement the win. Our least experienced pairing of Ryan and Vishal paired well to halve a strongly contested match. Just glorious. This result leave us tied in 3rd place with The Sandbaggers 1 point adrift of the second placed Pocksia Team and 6 points behind the dominant DOGS outfit. With the players at hand over the next 4 rounds it is hard not to envisage The Glorious fighting it out for the League Title. We’ll fight and fight and win. Some people tuned into the Open I was focused on what was happening last Sunday at Jags. Go the Glorious!

Next Round we play the DOGS

Some winners over the last 2 weeks

Tough Day at Halim

Writing this as I sitting at my desk in that Thai tropical paradise of Phuket, and puck it this is what I must do for the TeeSet crew.

Glorious conditions once more greeted us on Sunday as we have now settled into the dry season and good golf beckoned. Let’s seewhat happened. Standing on the 10th tee box in the 3rd flight let’s see if we could fair better than the previous groups who had all managed to push their balls into or over the tree line on the right handside. Well, 3 out of 4 choose this line also and the game was on. A few bogies and double, standard warm up stuff.

Halim is well treed and wondering into the woods generally means you will find your ball, but will have to have balls of steel to take the shortest route to the hole as the branches and trucks of trees offer litlte hope on this route. But the writer has a secret weapon, St Jude, Patron Saint of those in desperate situations, and that I was on many occassion deep in the bush when a recital of words chosen by golfers in this predictiment, with Jude mentioned at the end and, hey ho let’s go out of the trees in a prime position. Due to children potentially reading this article the recital of the magical chant cannot be printed, but those with in earshot ( upto 400 metre radius) may have heard it.

The greens at Halim offer great challenges, besides the usual green side traps they are typically raised so shots into them need to take this into account. And just to double down on hard to hit greens, the fringes are well watered and the greens are on the small side.

This lead to results that were a complete opposite of last week’s glorious round at The Manor. Last Sunday saw ONE player break par via the Stableford system and 2 others achieve it. Thus making Halim a more challeging course for golfers. Most liked the challenge and are keen to get back to master this course. Halim also has one of the more difficult index 1 holes around.

To the winners

Well done WWW on a dominate win with 38 Stableford points

Well done to low gross score of the day Emil with 79 gross.

New TeeSetters

John & April Savage.

Other results for the day saw Bags win his Matchplay over Thomas and Mike”Nelson’s number” Muller saw one a close game over Hitoshi.

Tigaraksa this Sunday

It is not too late to play this wonderful heritage course which is now on the heritage championship list. A truly wonderful layout with great greens. An older style clubhouse offering great food and beer at reasonable prices and without a doubt the best changeroom facilities in town. A pleasant Sunday’s drive from Kemang gets you there in under an hour. It get’s the GLORIOUS stamp of approval. on the way home you could stop at Sale for a sumptious Italian feed also.

Also we have Jakarta Interleague Sunday week and we need a few more to make a team. GAme will be at Jagorawi. Let me know if you can join the ranks of The Glorious.

Back to the Pina Coladas and Changs see you Sunday week

The Kojo TeeSet Monthly Medal

On the last Sunday of the month the in set of the golf set gather for the TeeSet Monthly Medal. Last Sunday The Manor presented itself in all of its glory. The fairways were trimmed the greens were immaculate and bunkers well sanded. To top the day off Mother Nature presented TeeSetters with glorious golfing conditions.

The ladies and men of TeeSet grabbed hold of what the golfing gods had on offer with both hands and golfed on with relish. The greens were fast and the pace of play was fast. So fast that we chased down some of the early starters. A light cloud cover and fresh breeze blowing in from Jakarta Bay kept golfers fresh and we made the most of those conditions. With 20% of the field getting 40 or more Stableford points and another 20% playing to their handicap or better.

The first hole of one group, saw a birdie, a birdie denied by the pin, a par, and a duffer with a double. The birdies rained down like manna from heaven and a par was always just around the corner. The battle for the medal was well and truly on. Six players returned to the club house with high hopes after racking up big points 4 on 41 points, 1 on 42 points and 1 on an unbelievable 46 points.

Frank Pan entered the 70’s for the first time in his golfing career. He didn’t just enter the 70s, he kicked the front door down with a glorious round of 74 off the stick, a nett 62 and 46 Stableford points to boot. Truly one of TeeSet’s finest Monthly Medal Rounds.

Let’s get to the winners handled with great aplumb by Senior Committeeman Bill Lloyd.

Winner: FRANK #46

Well done Daniel with a fine gross 78

280 metre mark is where Daniel landed his ball on Sunday.

Shinta took the ladies long drive with an impressive 190 metres

Trisna had the swing of things on Sunday winning NTP 2.21m

Bill won the white feet award an absent Hitoshi made Bill a shoe in.

Matchplay Championship

We had 3 games on the is Sunday. With members of the Glorious TeeSet JIL Team taking part in all of them, and of course winning. First up we had Trisna beating Capt. Arnold 2 & 1 in a close match (TeeSet had both players). Next up in an equally challenging game we had Daniel winning against Jens also 2 & 1. In the final match a rampant Frank prevailed over a valiant Vijay 6 & 5.

Last Friday Tom & Eli tied their battle will continue to another course.

If you are still in the competition we would like to have these games wrapped up by mid July and preferably on a TeeSet Sunday. A player electing to play on a Sunday will take precedence over a player wishing to play their game on another day in the situation where a game could not be played due to scheduling issues.

Sunday the 5th at Halim Golf

TeeSet return to the new favorite of many a golfer this Sunday. Halim, sensible prices for sensible golfers. Close to town easy to get to and a challenging layout. See you there. Sign up on MyGolf2U. Down load the app at your HP provider store.

It’s late, I am tired, I haven’t slept since I realised I hit 1 under over 9 holes last Sunday. It is the ongoing nightmare of the other 9 that keeps me awake.

JIL Pondok Cabe 14th of June

The Glorious 8 headed to the field of battle facing one of the League’s powerhouses, JAWS. Five hours later we returned triumphant. In a match that will undoubtedly enter the annals of Interleague History an undermanned squad stood tall in the hard light of competitive matchplay golf. We had late withdrawals, players flying in from visiting family in hospital, but what we have, what no other team has, that glorious team spirit that separates us from all others.

The two single players had a well matched draw with TeeSet’s Axel having a 2 shot HCP difference over the JAWS player. Whereas Viboon (the Master of Cabe) had 3 strokes in hand (does that sound ok?). The JAWS player used his HCP advantage to defeat a competitive Axel. Boom Boom Viboon was too much for the JAWS player to handle and managed a glorious victory.

The first of our doubles team consisted of Daniel and Ryan. This was a battle royal with the 2 squads trading punches throughout the day. Glorious TeeSet jumped to an early lead but the JAWS double would not rollover and a 40 foot down hill put on the 9th saw the lead disappear and neither team could get the wood over their opponent and it ended in a nail biting final hole result of All Square. Well fought, TeeSet boys never give an inch.

Would the Captain dare make it happen? A match up the golfing world has been anticipating for decades. A Battle Royal that goes from the kitchen to the fairways. TeeSet’s Glorious Cucu partnered with the equally Glorious Trisna Versus Tom and some other plonker. Would Cucu batter Tom and serve him with a side of chips or would Tom do the battering? The clubhouse was abuzz with anticipation, or was that a bee? Birdies were marked in cards, the battle raged across the pleasant fairways of Pondok Cabe leads were established only to be lost again as the other team rallied. Coming down the final fairway of the day the JAWS held the upper hand one up one to play. Did our Glorious ladies flinch, not a chance, they are made of better stuff than that. They are made of TeeSet toughness. They nailed that last putt to snatch an unlikely All Squared result. Glorious, there is no other word to describe it but glorious.

The final pairing of Jeff and Michael were up against two strong JAWS players Yasin & Marvin. The JAWS team looked better on the whiteboard but this game was not played on the whiteboard. Excellent putting from JAWS kept them in the game but they were no match for Jeff who was banging in pars all over the course. Michael was there to halve a few holes and the job was done 2/1. Glorious!

We will be marching up the table as we stride for Victory in JIL 2026. We would like to thank all the glorious members of last weekends match and look forward to your further participation as the season moves on. We have a team of 8 on the day. So far this season we have used 13 players so we need as many as possible to be available on match days. We look forward to a good response next time Glorious TeeSet calls up its players to volunteer and never take a backward step.

What Else Happened at Pondok Cabe.

We had returners

Mike is back wearing a pre-covid shirt. He was hitting a good ball in front of us today and I had a few warm down beers with him after the game. Good to see you again.

The Winners

Craig takes the best Stableford score, well done

Kojo Monthly Medal

Pre round planning

Welcome back Sami

Let’s go back in time to a far off golf course known these days as the Manor. T’was on a Sunday at the end of May over another long weekend that Indonesia is famous for that 28 of TeeSet’s finest gathered to contest the Kojo Monthly Medal.

Hard negotiations with the Manor management preceded this day as the Manor attempted to enforce a minimum number of 30 players to receive out TeeSet discount. This is very hard to achieve over a long weekend and attendance is not compulsory but firm negotiations by Adhe on the committee’s behalf resulted in prices not changing. TeeSet are able to get reasonable Sunday prices as we offer a large group that will eat and drink at the course. Skipping Sundays is fine, if prices go up due to falling numbers you now know why.

On to the game it was a ding dong battle for the Medal with Stan being the golfer that best mastered the conditions offered at the Manor on that Sunday

Stan beat his wife which is normally not a good thing unless it occurs on the golf course and strict R&A guidelines.

The TeeSet crew went back to the Bull n Vine for the medal presentation and many stayed late to take advantage of the Pancasila Holiday on Monday. Thanks a lot to Bulln Vine for hosting and once again doing an outstanding job in hosting TeeSet. A great place to have a mid week drink and feed.

The World Cup of Golf Riverside

TeeSet’s annual teams event may have seen a smaller turn out than in previous years but the competitive buzz was found in the room as teams marked out their space and got their banter going. Things were looking decidedly bad for perennial favorites and perennial underperformers, the Alive & Kicking team, as a water fight broke out between two members. The other teams seemed a bit lovey dovey. There were some well presented teams and some not so well presented teams, that had golf not fashion on their mind.

3rd place went to Java Tigers; Stan, Nanin, Craig, Rika, Claudio

2nd Place The Governor & Co; Steve, Cucu, Craig, Tom, absent George

The World Cup Champions Matt, Kevin, Craig, Ric & Dean

We are missing a photo of the low gross winners the Kilted Warriors consisting of Roger, Phil, Doug & Steve but we do have a photo of a better presented team. Well done on the low gross win.

A big thanks to our sponsors for the day Roger, Dean and Craig for some of the wine prizes and Tom for some beer sponsorship.

Thanks to to San mIguel and Wine Cartel.

A big thanks to Adhe in ensuring the day was well prepared and to the Scorers; Roger, Craig & Steve.

JIL Pondok Cabe 14th of June

With the Dry Season well and truly settling in we head back for round three of the interleague season. Glorious TeeSet will fight and fight and win. Come along and support the team or more importantly come along and have a wonderful round of golf with TeeSet. Sign up on MyGol2U

See ya Sunday

Glorious TeeSet at JIL, Pondok Cabe

We had a dominate team assembled. The boys and girls were revved up. We looked super athletic in our head turning team shirts. The course looked great. Then it rained and we all went back and drank beer. Some late into the evening. I represented TeeSet in that area. No result just a rain check.

If you played that day and failed to pick up your rain check there is a list and you will be on it. Ask Adhe. The rain check can be used on any day except Saturdays and Sunday mornings. There is a caddie fee of Rp150k to pay and an additional Rp200k if you want an electric vehicle to cart your clubs around.

Next game is the Monthly Medal at the Manor Cengkareng. Sign up on MyGolf2U. I bought some Srixon golf balls there at the last Monthly Medal and there is something magical about them. So hard to lose, harder than any other brand I have tried. They must be magical or broken. I just need to learn how to get out of bunkers and I may yet be a reasonable golfer. Readers, don’t hold your breath.

World Cup Of Golf, June 7 at Riverside.

Numbers are growing. If you want to start a team start a list on the TeeSet Whatsapp group and people will most likely jump on board. You can also send your name to Adhe and we will put teams together. A great day of golf you would be silly to miss it.

The following week is one of the few Scrambles left on the Charity calendar. If you can sign up to help the kids. Info below. I am looking for 1 more to join me in this scramble.

Thankfully it rained and hence a short report full covering all of the events of last Sunday. See you at the Manor

Glorious Tigaraksa

Last Sunday TeeSet returned to Tigaraksa and we were treated to the most wonderful round of golf so far this season. Quite a few golfers baulked at the drive to the course which is a tad of an hour from Kemang. Well they missed out on a golf course that is designed to challenge golfers. Well protected greens, doglegs and water all came into play as you sort to land your ball on probably the best greens in Jakarta. Well enough of that lets get to the winners.

The winners were the 6 golfers who showed up that day. Teeing off at 12.15 ambling around the course and finishing at 4pm. All were winners. They don’t overbook at this Oasis of calm, there are no mosque noises or motorbike noises just the swearing President losing his mind occasionally. This is a course you could play every Sunday and then you get to the lockers. The water pressure, glorious, the towels, bought last week and you have a choice of colours. It was time well spent in the locker rooms fondling the fine felty fleece of fresh towels. Golf clubs have been stingy in this area for too long and Glorious Tigaraksa boldly stepped into this space and offer white and , wait for it, brown towels. I’d drive from Kedaton just to use the facilities here. The staff in the restaurant area are attentive and the hemlines are like pre-Manor days at Cengkareng. Car parking aplenty.

There will be more opportunities to play here going forward don’t miss that opportunity.

This Sunday at Imperial

Sign up for the ever popular Imperial round and get back into the swing of things. Register on the MyGolf2U app under events.

The World Cup of Golf Riverside 7th of June

We have 9 teams so far, hoping to carry off the Trophy and Prizes. Get a team together or let us know that you would like to join a team and we will help you form one.

On The Side

I played Halim yesterday and the greens were in great shape a tad slow and probably need a trim which will be done for the weekend, but a lot of the fancy clubs could take a leaf out of Halim’s book on green upkeep.

On on to Imperial

Sore head to much hash.

Manor Time for TeeSet 3rd of May

April’s Monthly Medal winner, Tim, receiving the medal from Kojo Medal sponsor Geoff. Medal put to work later in the day as a ball marker.

Things we learnt last Sunday. 12.40 starts dont work. As the world rotates around the sun there is a time of the year when golfers need to play faster. We are now in that time of the year. Sunset is before 6 and it is dark by 6 so we need to think of those behind us and get a wriggle on. Tee off after the group in front has played there 2nd shot, not start moving to the Tee Box. Be ready to play.

The Committee will try and ensure that all games in this lack of light time will be scheduled to as close to 12pm as possible but we also need TeeSetters to maintain a good pace of play. A fast round is a glorious round and allows more time for the warm down over a jug of Margaritas or 5.

To the Podium

Low gross goes to Matt with a 76. First Eagle to Richard on the 10th. Most Stableford points was Dean with a score of 42. Well done boys

TeeSet could have well lost the entire club funds today as the missed Eagles nearly hit double figures. Axel was unlucky shaving the hole on the 5th to miss by a centimetre or 2. Pras missed one here also. Dean missed 2. One after driving the green on the Par 4 11th. He needs to work on his putting with 38 putts. A round that could have finished in the 70s.

Tigaraksa Sunday 12pm Rp 965.5K Shared Cart

This Sunday we play a great course. The greens are all maintained by sponsorship from Japanese companies and are amongst the best in the land. Friendly price for a Sunday. The food is good and the beer price very competative compared to other clubs. Did I mention ample parking? Well there is.

A few TeeSetters seem to think it is a long way from home well it is about the same as Kedaton but better beer prices. A great Tee Time so get on to MyGOlf2U and sign up and show support for TeeSet.

World Cup of Golf, June 7 Riverside

Teeams are forming we have the Glorious Australians with 2 teams, certainties to be on the Podium. The Japanese, Americans, Filipinos and South Africans have teams, as do the Indonesians and Brits, amongst the teams less likely to make it to the Podium. Get a Team together and see if you have what it takes to match the Aussies on the Field of Battle. Also prizes for best dressed Teams.

If you want to play but don’t have the time to organise a Team let us know and we will put you in an United Nations team.

TeeSet Matchplay Championship

We are now into the Sudden Death part of the competition. We would like to have the first round finished by end of June and we would like to see these games played on TeeSet Sundays.

Time to get back to work see you this Sunday for what will be your best game of the week.

Regards

The Kojo Monthly Medal at Cenkareng/The Manor

A glorious day was presented for the 40+ TeeSetters who joined last Sunday’s event. Tee off times went to schedule and were all maybe it back to the clubhouse before the lights went out. Albeit the last flights in, had little time to ponder their final putts as the sun sank rapidly in the west.

There were a few of the final first round matchplays being played and the Writer, was involved in one. Off to a beautiful start and a commanding lead before the wheels fell off his chariot and he was trampled into submission by Riccardo. Young Simon Laneri is a young golfer who is on the way up in The TeeSet world. Don’t be surprised to see him with the KMM (Kojo Monthly Medal) soon. Ladbrokes have him at attractive odds currently, get on. Best financial advice you’ll ever get from me.

Simon was also treated to angry language in both Italian and English courtesy of myself and Claudio. Bilingual swearing is an oft overlooked skill on a resume. In front, Hitoshi and Anirudh were having a ding dong strokeplay battle, whilst Bobby and Ameesh made up the numbers in their 4 ball. Behind us Patrick, Bob, Neil and April wondered what was holding them up. Leading TeeSet off the 10th tee box that morning were Vijay, Arnold, Albert and Nanin. Vijay and Albert very surprised to be in the lead group as they are frequently allocated a position in the rearguard of flights. I was surprised also and told them it wouldn’t happen again. They were’nt responsible for the mildly slow play they were off and a way at a very steady pace. How long can you look for a lost ball? Answer 3 minutes. Use it then take your medicine.

Let’s get to the winners, I have a day on the hash ahead.

Well as an indecisive member of the committee I failed to hand out the monthly medal. A first ever occurance at Teeset and probably be the only thing I will be remembered for. But I did handout some cash. Low Gross Hitoshi with a 75, long drive Arnold 190m, nearest the pin Claudio 3.01m. Well done. Putri was stuck in the showers and Adhe presented her with the long drive ladies win.

But we did have a winner, and Tim with 39 Stableford points will be presented with his well earned Medal this Sunday. I hope you can all make it to join us for this glorious presentation.

After the presentations we could settle back into the all important warm down. The Manor had a good deal on San Miguel Products and it was noted that Arnold and Steve amongst others were making the most of this offer. Craig Kecil noted that the hemlines of the waitresses had dropped significantly as had their service. A few jugs of Margaritas later and it was time to say goodbye to the Manor and head home.

Back to the Manor Sunday 3rd

We have a 12.30 Tee Off. Sign Up on MyGolf2U. If you don’t have the app yet you can get it on Google Play or Apple Store. This is how you register for a spot. If you want a cart let Adhe know or put your name on the list that is on the TeeSet whatsapp group.

TeeSet World Cup June 7 Riverside

We have 8 teams registered so far room for many more. We have a shotgun start so it will be a quick round. Prizers for the best teams on the course and the best dressed teams. Get your team together and register soon to avoid disappointment.

The First Round Of Interleague

Well, the best laid plans of mice and men do unravel from time to time. Maybe a bit more frequently when I am involved. First day as Co-Captain of Glorious TeeSet and I was late arriving due to a uniform malfunction. I had left the house without my gear, such was my eagerness to get to Riverside. Nevertheless operations were in fine hands with Co-Captain Arnold arranging pairings and organising bagtags and Adhe handling the financial side of things.

After enduring many months of rain and soggy golf courses Sunday presented itself in all of its glory. We were up against the hardened Wolves team, defending champions. Glorious had recruited well during the pre-season and expectations to move up the table were strong. Anyway that didn’t happen and were were beaten 6 and 4. Let’s get to the highlights. At one stage we were all tied then we left the clubhouse. Soon after we took the lead which we held for a few holes. The 2 Co-Captains fought hard but the Wolves had too much firepower and our 2 pairs both went down. Our top seed, Lionel, started strongly but staying late at BnV caught up with him over the final holes.

On a brighter note Brian capped off his debut with TeeSet with a nice win in the Singles and always difficult to beat, Frank & Peter had a strong win. These guys have been rewarded with a couple of free flights at Riverside. So a really promising start and if we can keep it together surely Glorious TeeSet will be hoisting the Trophy come season’s end. Hoorick Hoorah Hoorick Hoorick Hoorah TeeSet TeeSet Rah Rah Rah

On the side to Interleague we have our regular TeeSet outing where things are just as intense. We had winners.

Joemar with 41 Stableford points. Well done, could have used you in the Interleague Team

Hitoshi with 77 off the stick as well as helping DOGS to a win had a good day.

This Sunday Kojo Monthly Medal at Cengkareng

Sign up on MyGolf2U and join us at The Manor. The course has dried out nicely and is playing well. This is also a great opportunity to get your TeeSet Matchplay first round games completed.

See you there, the more the merrier.

World Cup Of Golf 7th of June at Riverside

We have the whole course and will be shotgunning it. There will be prizes and booze and a great day. You’d have to be stuck in the Strait of Hormuz to miss it. Teams are filling up. Start a Team or let us build one for you. A great social day and a great days golf. Fashion Houses are lining up this year to dress the Teams. Let’s see what they come up with.

Over and Out
