Cengkareng 25th March 2018 12pm: Monthly Medal and Eclectic VII Final Round

Being the last week-end of the month, this Sunday we head back to one of Jakarta’s finest courses and one of Tee Set’s most popular venues, Cengkareng, home for Tee Set’s 2018’s Monthly Medal. For those who already signed up but maybe did not spot the mistake in the form: it is walking on Sunday and there are no carts.

Thanks to the generous support of Ken Runyon and his team at Accel Golf and Golf and Special Events Management we will recognizing the Low Gross and Low A, B & C winners with a trophy in addition to presentation of the Monthly Medal to the overall winner.

This week will also be the 4th and final round of Cycle VII of the Tee Set Eclectic with James Ross currently leading after 3 rounds with an Eclectic score of 56. There were a number of big movers last month and the pursuing pack caught up somewhat so there is still a lot to play for over the final round this Sunday. For those wishing to check their scores and current placing please check out the Eclectic web-page.

A reminder that the Tee Set Match-play has entered the knockout rounds and in order to help us get the games completed in good time, please look on the Match Play web-page to see your opponent and to reach out to them and arrange the match as soon as possible. Also, do not forget to send to James Ross your results when they are in so they can be officially updated.

Whilst there is a lot to attract players for this week, we also welcome those who just wish to enjoy a pleasant stroll or ride the a hover-board over the rolling fairways, guided round by Cengkareng’s well trained caddies and then to sit and enjoy one of its famous Margaritas to cool you down afterwards.

If you are able to join us for a very reasonable Rp800,000 walking please sign up here. Tee time is 12pm as usual.

A note that we are limited to 64 players on the day so please sign up early. Should we exceed 64 sign-ups we will run a waiting list based on first come first served.

Battle Royale III: 20th – 22nd April in Bali

The dates for Battle Royale III have now been locked in as 20th to 22nd April 2018 and it is to be played at Handara Golf Club, up in the mountains of Bali. We are looking to have a team of at least 16 players as we seek to defend the trophy won last year at Cengkareng but there is no limit as Par 5 Club will match our team numbers. Presently we have 12 players signed up so are looking for some extra players to join so if you think you can join please check your diaries and let us know as below.

We have secured an excellent package which covers 3 rounds of golf (2 Saturday and 1 Sunday in the match), 2 nights B&B on the course, a Saturday night function and Sunday prize giving lunch. There are different rooming options but the cost is under Rp5m per head for a single rooming golfer and under Rp4m per head 2 golfers sharing. For those with non-playing partners then the extra charge will be around Rp750,000 on top of the single player cost.

Flights, drinks and Friday night dinner will be on top. Additional golf on Friday or Monday and additional accommodation is available.

More details on the schedule and the pricing based on the options selected will be shared to those who are interested in joining. For now, Captain Nick Gleeson needs to know who is interest in joining and any extra requests so please go here to register your interest.

Just for thought…

If you are one of the those golfers who obsesses about stats and skill levels or just someone who wants to know how they stand against the average golfer of their age/ability then check out the below table for average driving distances which comes from a Golf Digest study. For male golfers only in this table although Golf Digest has the information for Ladies and for other clubs if you are interested to check it out. Thanks to the Singing President for the link.
