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.
Putting in the past the issues we had during our last visits, after a gap of 15 months, we are pleased to return to Gading Raya following the renewed commitment of the course to welcome us.
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.
Although we are not making any formal arrangements this time, many will be going afterwards to enjoy some Mexican food and drinks at Casa de la Mexicana thanks to the hospitality of Axel and his family. This is becoming a new Tee Set tradition during our visits to the Serpong area and please feel welcome to join us if you are not rushing back after the game.
Jagorawi Country Club Sunday 14th October 2018
The Day
This Sunday was the final week of the JIL round robin matches and so we headed to Jagorawi for our regular Sunday game and to support the Tee Set team in their endeavours to finish a disappointing season with pride. In total, 65 players were at JGCC for the event and with Tee Setters represented in almost all teams, 31 Tee Setters joined our regular Sunday sign-up.
A smooth day on the course weather wise with JGCC in its usual good condition but with the tension of 2 teams fighting in the their respective matches to win the league, play got a little slow at times.
One new comer on the day and a warm Tee Set welcome to Walter Jardine. Walter was certainly into the Tee Set spirit from his first visit and donated a bottle for the Committee to use as a prize at a future event: many thanks to Walter for this.
With the President absent, Tee Set and JIL administration fell into the capable hands of VP Ric Wymer and many to Ric for sorting all the arrangements on the day. Pictures of the day are here.
The Play
With JIL going on we did not recognize the good or bad on the greens this week and those with fines seemed to be spared the usual photo but we do have the record for our annual statistics to show Jonathan Quek and Tan Chee Hwa as our skirt winners on the day and a 4 was tie for Most Strokes between Amol Singhal, Frank Wilson, Hakim Moui and Tan Chee Hwa.
JGCC is a tough first outing in Tee Set and after a difficult start, newcomer Walter Jardine got the hang of Jags to come home 10 strokes better and win Most Improved. First Birdie went to VP Ric Wymer and First Sandy to Matt Otto for their efforts on holes 1 and 5, respectively.
Low Gross went to John Birch for his excellent 84 off the stick whilst Low Net honours fell to Shawn Berg (72), Rudie Basson (74) and Dirk Kruip (71). Congratulations to all the winners and detailed results are here.
In the JIL, Tee Set’s team finally fired and played spoiler in the battle for top honours by defeating co-4th round leaders and home favourites, Cloggies 6-4. This left the way clear for Tin Cups to win their match and the 2018 JIL. Congratulations to Captain David Baglivo and his team who will receive their trophies at the end of season scramble on 18th November.
