Fairway to heaven??

We mentioned in the last post that Rancamaya was “a course perhaps more loved than any other on our itinerary”.

Perhaps the “perhaps” was a piece of English understatement as you will see from this list of the 15 highest attended events (excluding the Tee Set Championships and 30th Anniversary) since January 2012, which is probably the same as all time.

As you see, Rancamaya features in 3 of the top 4 places and five times in total on that list; the only reason it doesn’t appear more often being that we have only played there five times since detailed records began on 1-1-2012.

As we also mentioned Tee Set have been given 12 flights or 48 pax for Sunday and, while we find it difficult to imagine that they will actually turn any Tee Setters away, they are rather strict on our having to provide them with a timely list of players by Friday. So, if you haven’t already, please get your name down as soon as possible.

Green Fees are marginally up to 580,00 roops this year but are clearly one of the finest bargains available in Jakarta – and beers are on “special offer” at just 40,00!!

A higher than usual number of players are looking for transport to the course and we might once again run the Tee Set charabanc from Hero in Kemang, so let Ric Wymer know if this would suit you. Please let Ric know also if you have any spare seats going in your car so that a final decision can be made on Friday. Those who have taken the charabanc before speak highly of its sociability, not least because Tee Set usually throws in some liquid refreshment for the journey home.

While on the subject of superlatives, we have received notice of the 2014 Society of Petroleum Engineers event being held at Jagorawi Friday April 25th. SPE members get first dibs at registration before it is thrown open to non-members starting next Monday, March 10th.

The SPE really is Jakarta’s premier expat golf event (apart from the Tee Set Championship of course) and, going on previous experience, the event will probably have filled up by next Tuesday so,  if you want to play then have a look at their rather charming flyer and get your name down tout de suite. And remember, the money they make goes to the excellent if rather forlorn cause of educating Rock Doctors.

See yah at Rancamaya! … Tee Set
