JIL Pondok Cabe 14th of June

Posted on June 18, 2026 by mgfu

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.

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

Posted on May 26, 2026 by mgfu

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

Posted on May 15, 2026 by mgfu

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

Manor Time for TeeSet 3rd of May

Posted on May 8, 2026 by mgfu

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

Posted on May 1, 2026 by mgfu

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

Posted on April 23, 2026 by mgfu

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.

TeeSets 2nd Heritage Round at Halim

Posted on April 15, 2026 by mgfu
Panic hits the clubhouse. No beers were spilled

A large turn out for our second round of the Heritage. With many players making their first appearances and others trying to cement a place at the top of the leaderboard, whilst yours truly was trying to get out of last place. Read on to hear how we faired.

Halim the last remaining Heritage course in an area which once boasted 3 Heritage Class courses. Unfortunately, greed saw two become private courses with high fees and are seldom used by your regular taxpayer. The remaining course holds many of the charms of a Suharto Era course, cement statues of players and deer and some sort of airplane at the entrance that most TeeSetters could not fit in. Adhe was busy collecting the fees and players were happy with the 30 minute trip from Kemang area. The weather was perfect for golf with a light breeze and occasional cloud cover.

We had been told that golf carts would be available from 1pm, but as we prepared to tee off just after 12 the carts started rolling in. It’s a walking course why would you need a cart? Read on, dear Reader, read on. The flights off the 1st tee box were golfing smack on time, whereas our companions on the 10th tee box had a slower start as the Starter jammed in a couple of flights. This caused a few ruffled feathers amongst our members. On The Jakarta Hash we have a saying IWA. Indonesia Wins Again, it’s fine to complain but don’t expect things to change anytime soon. FUBAR for Americans, IWA for Indonesian Expats. IWA helps me get through the day. 2,3 IWA! Feeling better?

Let’s move on. These Heritage Courses were not designed by Peter Thompson or Greg Norman but they have all the same attributes Tee Boxes and holes with pins in them and a whole lot of trouble in between if you are doing all the things you shouldn’t be doing. Here’s a short list that you can tick off on where your games is coming undone:

Slicing, Hooking, Topping, Thinning, Slutting (not making it to the Red Tees from the Blues/whites), Splashing, Shanking, Duffing, Pulling, Searching, all of these lead to Drinking. At this point I would like to thank our main Sponsor San Miguel Brewery for their last shot memory erasing amber fluid. San Miguel and Anker, helping crap golfers survive a horrible round, with memories only of golf shots well struck. I’ll have another!

Golf was moving along at a reasonable pace with a few rest opportunities at the par 3s. The weather was just getting better and rifle shots from the nearby range drown at the sounds of the annoying birds chirping in the trees. Between the rifles shots and my shots into the trees the birds moved to a safer locale for the day. Mark and Bill were non stop chatter about The Masters to the point I think Bill didn’t realise he had two or 3 Sandy Pars in a row. Richard was a bit more subdued having been through a harrowing interview the day before. Bandung might be the spot to play golf soon.

The German 4 ball in front were playing with military precision. Left, right, left, right but didn’t break their stride. Occasionally they were all seen in the centre of the course together. They have a special name for this, the green. Behind us we had the foot soldiers of Dean, John and Co, trying to stay in touch with the old farts in the carts.

The skies grew dark, the greens grew rough
And the golfers golfed on and on and on and on and on and on. The skies to the south were getting darker, the wind was picking up, the temperature dropped suddenly but we fearlessly golfed on. Reaching the rest shelter between the 15th &16th holes we found Axel, Marius, Ralph and Thomas still waiting for the Korean ladies to tee off. Whilst we sat there the lights went out. Now extremely dark for 4pm our caddies suggested we retire to the clubhouse to wait out the approaching storm. Bill had his cart’s electric engine revving like a Harley, as he impatiently waited for Richard to move. The caddies knew a shortcut back through the wilds of Halim and we arrived just as the storm hit. Bill bee-lined to the changeroom, leaving me to do presentations late that day. Then down she came thunder, lightning and torrential torrents from above. We spent 45 seconds worrying about the fate of our fellow TeeSetters stranded on the course amid some of nature’s angrier efforts. These thoughts were thankfully vanquished when the first of the Ankers arrived

A few other golfers arrived Arne, Rosie and Albert amongst them. Non TeeSetters also sought the shelter of the Clubhouse and were enjoying Mother Nature washing the sins of Jakarta away. Let’s go back to Bunker Bill, remember he of the beeline home. Well he didn’t quite make it stranded on the foyer stairs, with weather conditions making it impossible to reach his car. He had a smile on his face as he was nursing an Anker in his hand.

Back to the main room the storm really hit the wind dialled itself up to about 100kmph. I know this to be a fact because you couldn’t light a smoke, you can in 90kmph winds. The rain was now coming in vertically and reaching all corners of the clubhouse cause angst and fear. I was happy, free shower, avoid the Heritage lockers and pre-Suharto era towels. Whilst this storm was at its peak the Halim Rescue Service was out searching for trapped golfers. TeeSetters saved by these fearless fellows recounted stories of tumbling trees and branches flying through the air and torrents of water penetrating their simple shelters. Not one of them mentioned trying to light a smoke in 90kmph winds. Clubhouse TeeSetters therefore endured far more.

There is a video posted on TeeSet by Adhe which barely captures the ferocity of the storm. Game abandoned, players demand announcements. I announce that Albert was responsible for the storm. As the game was abandoned and many score cards for holes that were finished were not submitted, there will be no change to the leader board. The next Heritage round we head to the pristine Japanese maintained Tigaraksa on the 10th of May

Heritage Round 2 a glorious time buggered up by a bit of bad weather. Course appreciated by nearly everyone.

A Quick Rundown on the Last 3 Rounds

Posted on March 31, 2026 by mgfu

Let’s start with Rancamaya as I was actually there for one of the rounds. TeeSet headed off to tackle the DOGS in the final round of 6 at Rancamaya in the now annual Matchplay between the two societies. Squads of 20 players were assembled and Dean paired our players along handicap lines. We looked pretty good on paper, we looked pretty good in our team colours, we looked pretty good getting stuck into pre-game beers, we were battling hard as the beer cart came past and was flagged down multiple times.

Unfortunately we could only managed 3 winners with five other pairings losing by a hole. Close but no cigar. Well done DOGS. The weather held up a treat with a short stop due to a lightning warning. The fairways were fine the greens were a mixed bag of slow, fast, bumpy and ragged. Rancamaya needs to put in a bit of an effort to fix these up.

The Apres Golf activities saw a surprisingly nice buffet served up by the club. Highly appreciated sponsored beers from our friends at SAN MIGUEL, brewers of fine beers. A charity raffle had been organised and well done to all that bought tickets. Another year were the orphans fair a bit better. As the evening progressed spirit bottles appeared on tables and the Boom Box of Sounds appeared. The new popular drink was Gin & Sprite. Most went back to the hotel at around midnight others took advantage of the golfers who’d hired an AirBnB estate and kicked on for a bit longer. A few sore heads were spotted at the Breakfast Buffet and chocolate ice cream seemed to be the most popular item. One golfer was spotted with a bowl of ice cream decorated with a chicken sausage. Probably the only way to eat them. Golfers were receiving messages about missing thongs from Mr Lloyd, who would appreciate the return of the thong.

Sunday herald the newly minted Rod Williams Charity Scramble. I headed for the toll road before it started nursing a sorehead and a level of lingering inebriation that excluded me from the days round. A Filthy Ron’s and a puncture round out my day whilst 36 golfers headed of to play the Vegas Scramble. I have not seen the scores but I did see comments indicating the format led to a most enjoyable day on the golfer course. Hopefully the tail end of the returning Idul Fitri traffic to Jakarta didn’t cause to many hasssles on the way home.

TeeSet Monthly Medal Cengkareng

This month’s medal came a week earlier than usual due to the Rancamaya interruption on our calendar So on the 22nd of March the Kojo Medal was contested at the Manor. 38 golfer were there battling for honours. Included in the group was Geoff Thwaites, medal sponsor, returning to JAkarta after a long stay in Australia. As I was enjoying the Mudik traffic jam I was unable to paly but I did note that the scores were better than we have seen in the previous few editions of the medal. This was mainly due to the course drying out a bit I believe. Anyways a winning score of 42 Stableford points got the job done in March

Craig made money for making an eagle, Brian made money for low gross and the Monthly Medal winner was Michael WWW. Sorry winners for Dean taking up too much of the frame. Nice to see Craig standing on a chair.

Easter Sunday at Gading Raya 5th of April

TeeSet return to the old favorite Gading Raya. Last time we were there it was a bit of a swamp but with big gaps between torrential downpours at the moment, the course has returned to its normal conditions. Get your name registered on the MyGolf2U app ASAP.

Definitely one of the golfer friendly courses, caddies are on the ball, carts are in great condition and have GPS tracking in them, food is above par and beer prices are nearly ok.

First round of Jakarta Interleague Matchplay 19th of April Riverside

Glorious TeeSet are hosting the first round of this years Interleague competition. With Arnold & Michael Co-Captaining the the team. We will select the best 8 we have as we continue the rise to victory in 2026. Please let us know if you wish to be part of this glorious squad. Either myself or Arnold or any of the other committee members. The team sign up is via the TeeSet Interleague Whatsapp group. Ask Adhe to add you if you want to help this glorious cause.

Finally

After many years assisting and running TeeSet past president Craig is stepping aside for a well earned breather. TeeSet and the Committee would like to thank Craig for all that he has contributed to TeeSet and the Jakarta Golf Community in general. We look forward to see ing you on the fairways in the stress free realm of social player. Thank you.

See you this Sunday

Jambalaying on a Sunday is the only way

Posted on March 21, 2026 by mgfu

We have a word at TeeSet that is not over used and that word is Glorious. And last Sunday at Riverside indeed it was. 27 golfers were treated to a course in great condition. Something many of us have not seen since the start of 2026. There had been no rain for a few days and the course benefitted from a respite from the torrential storms that have been lashing golfer courses across the greater metropolitan region of Jakarta, sometimes refered to as Jabobeka. There’s a sentence that will help me get the required 1500 words done in next to no time. Now back to the day.

Rules of the Jambalaya were clearly explained by our Jambalaya expert Buckwheat Ewers, who is one of Jakarta’s most famous Zydeco washboard players and fairly handy around a golf course. His explanation was slightly better than Mister Mister’s eplanation to some members of the TeeSet Committee which caused irreprable brain damage to some of them as thay tried to digest the dribble presented to them. Not enough moonshine had been consumed at that point of the evening for it to be trnalated from gibberish.

With groups now knowing how to Jambalaya off we went. Brillant sunshine, run on the fairways and no pools of water or swampy areas, glorious. Three flights off Tee Box 1 and four off Tee Box 10. At Tee Box 2 our cart karked it, which led to an angry 4 ball barging past complaining of slow play at the 4th. Please and thank you go a long way in a civil society. Our caddies were quickly onboard with the rotation system which allowed me to concentrate on the scoring and the temperature of my amber hydration fluids.

A ten minute rain break allowed golfers to discuss the latest world topics dominating the news and all agreed that more time spent on tanker movements in the Strait of Hormuz was time better spent than reports on European Soccer (football for the uneducated). Golfers off the first 9 moved at a faster pace than those off the back 9 and the proof that fast play is the best way was displayed in the days results,

Speaking of which lets get down to the days winners,

Rosie back in the winners’ circle with a strong win inthe Ladies Section

Thomas, carried some low handicap golfers on his way to a storming win in the Men’s Section

Some new faces to TeeSet in the photo below. Good to see them getting stuck into some Apres Golf beers.

Tanjil was offered by the club which many happily took part in but I preferred to chat with my old mate Roberto. The last surviving member of the ENI group of golfers who started playing 4 years back. Roberto ovr the years dropped his handicap by 5 or 6 shots and became quite the competative player. He one a couple of monthly medals and was part of the TeeSet team win over DOGS in the Rancamaya game. His most notable win was in the inaugral Krakatoa Cup, best Stableford total over two days. A victory that was hampered by a stray Korean ball to the head with 5 holes to play. Roberto said it left him spinning but manged 4 pars over the last 5 holes to march to victory. Next time you hear FORE don’t duck or shy away take it on the noggin and do a Roberto. Roberto said it is hard to find such agreat enviroment to play golf in as what you find in Jakarta and also what a welcoming society as golfing with TeeSet and DOGS provided during his tenure. Happy trail Roberto it was a pleasure to golf with you and your friendship will always be remembered, we hope to see you soon. Bring the ENI mob back for a visit.
