Next Up

This Sunday sees us head to Jagorawi for the final event of the Inter-League calendar to be followed by the traditional end of league BBQ and prize giving. An early start as usual at Jagorawi with a shot gun start at 9.30am leaving plenty of time afterwards for some refreshments and food whilst still not being too late home. If you are interested to join at Rp1,100k please sign up here.

Our good sponsor, Richard Mau and his team at Hotel Luwansa have some vouchers for Jagorawi and there will be booth set up beside reception where you can buy the voucher on the day for the discounted price of Rp825k and then exchange it for your golf club registration with Jagorawi. It does not include caddy and carts so the club will take an extra payment for that, not a huge saving net but still enough to fund the BBQ cost or a couple of beers on the course as you wish. Thank you to Richard and his team for offering this to Tee Set members.

Note the BBQ fee is Rp150k which will be collected as you register and in lieu of our weekly prize fund donation.

Tee Set Championships: Places filling up fast

The Tee Set Championship is now just 10 days away, taking place on 26th November 2017 at Matoa Nasional Golf Course.

A 6am breakfast and registration followed by a 7am shot-gun start leaves us plenty of time afterwards for food, a few beverages and to party the afternoon and evening away with the band after we have recognized the major winners of the day, the Tee Set Match-play and Eclectic winners for 2017 and for the iron-man/woman efforts of those regular players during the year.

The event is always popular and we are limited to 100 players on the day. Places are available on a first come first served basis and as of writing there are already 80 players and sponsors signed up. Those who had signed up by Tuesday evening will have received an email confirming their registration – if you feel you have registered by did not receive an email please let Roger Finnie know as soon as possible.

For everyone else interested in playing and wishing to secure your place please register to play by going to the simple form you will find here and filling it in. If we exceed 100 sign-ups then we will open a waiting list in case someone drops out.

A brief run-down of the day:

• 6 am  Registration and Bloody Marys’ on tap to warm you into the day
• 6.45am Group Photo at the front of the club house
• 7am Shot-gun start: Hot Dogs provided by Hot Head and Smoothies from Asia Serv available on the course
• 12.30pm-ish – Lunch including lamb kebabs and craw fish on the side with beers, wine and the frozen margarita machine keeping everybody refreshed and hydrated
• Prize ceremony
• Party the afternoon away thanks to the Singing President and his band
• Monday morning……..best arrange important meetings for the afternoon!

After 2 years of being able to hold the price of the day down through having sufficient funds in hand to subsidize the event, the reality of fewer players during the year and some cost increases is that the event charge on the day will be Rp1.2m. We believe this still represents exceptional value for a full day of golf, fun and your goodie bag including the 2017 Tee Set Shirt and cap. We are discussing with Matoa for a price adjustment for Matoa members and juniors and will pass on the savings accordingly to the relevant players.

A big thank you to our sponsors for the day and who support Tee Set through-out the year (as of writing):

• Gold Sponsors: Asian Tigers, Kojo, Samson Tiara, Hotel Luwansa, Asia Serv, Hot-Hed and Schenck Process
• Silver Sponsors: Fugro, Ben Lines
• Bronze Sponsors: Bintang Subsea

Lastly, and on a similar vein, we are always looking for additional sponsors for door prizes or more and so if you are able to offer some gifts or other form of sponsorship please let Ric Wymer or Roger Finnie know as soon as possible.
