Gading Raya has been one of Tee Set’s favourites and deservedly so with an excellent course and good faciliites being complemented by relatively easy access for many Tee Setters.

Unfortunately, after a period of being the home of our Monthly Medal, we found ourselves squeezed between a desire to increase significantly the pricing to Society golfers generally and a failure to communicate  when they had other bookings which they were prioritizing on some of the dates of our events. This came to a head in July 2017 when we found ourselves bumped by 1 1/2 hours from our scheduled tee time and then all put off the first tee. Naturally, with several courses keen to increase our visitation, we choose to arrange subsequent events elsewhere.

With a new team in place and following some discussions arranged thanks to Tee Set and Gading member, Jens Roestel, we have agreed to return next Sunday to Gading Raya after a gap of 15 months. Tee times off 1 & 10 at 11.30am have been confirmed along with the more attractive pricing of Rp800,000 (was Rp950k in 2017) with carts. Additionally, as a welcome back, for 21st October’s visit only, jugs of beer after the round will be priced at Rp250,000 so we can celebrate the welcome back of Gading Raya to our roster.

Lots of good reasons therefore to sign up here and we look forward to seeing you all next week.

PS: as President Roger Finnie has just returned from a trip and missed yesterday’s event, the write-up will follow in due course after he has exchanged notes with VP Ric Wymer who kindly took care of the Tee Set arrangements.
