As usual our December monthly medal is a little earlier in the month due to the holiday season so 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.
It’s the last opportunity to get your name on the current shield which will be full after this month’s event; but fear not, Kojo and Geoff Thwaites have already confirmed their continued sponsorship of the Monthly Medal Shield and a new one will be purchased to engrave with the winners from next month onwards. Thanks Geoff!
Thanks to the sponsorship of Ken Runyon and his teams at Accel Golf and Golf & 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 second round of Cycle IX of the Tee Set Eclectic and an opportunity for you to down a first marker in the hope to wrestle the trophy from current holder, Amol Singhal.
Whilst there is a lot to attract players for this week, we also welcome those who just wish to enjoy a pleasant trip across 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.
Reminder: For those who would prefer not to walk, in addition to the hover boards to glide across the rolling fairways, Cengkareng management have recently purchased 8 golf carts. These are priced at Rp55ok a cart so if you wish to reserve one please contact the Golf reservations staff at Cengakreng directly. As the carts are limited in number and we do not have visibility to those already booked on the day, your Tee Set Committee is not involved to the reservation of the carts.
Xmas Charity Drive: Lombok and Palu
Whilst the initial news has passed and many valuable contributions have been made to support the main relief efforts, news from families of Tee Setters with direct connections to these 2 locations report that there are many people who have lost all of their belongings and are therefore short of some basic necessities including clothing.
Therefore, under the initiative of Santi Miller, we would like to ask you to go through your wardrobes and find any serviceable old clothes and bedding which you would be happy to donate. Be conscious of what would be practical given the environment – no high heels for example – but otherwise all donations are welcome. We are asking for both adult and children’s clothing plus bedding but not food, toys etc…
Donations can be brought the Tee Set events to be held over the first 3 weeks of December (BSD, Cengkareng & Riverside) and passed to Santi or Roger Finnie. If you wish to donate but cannot make these events then please contact Roger, Santi or Keith Miller and we will give you an address where they can be sent to be added to those collected on each of the next 3 Sundays.
Santi and Jane will be going through all the donations and creating shipments to be donated to families in both Lombok and Palu for the New Year. Thank you in advance for all your donations to support these worthy efforts.
For your diaries….
A few of our regular Tee Setters will begin to head out from this week-end so our best wishes for the holiday season to those we will miss over the next 3 weeks or so.
For those staying in Jakarta, we will have our 2 player better ball stableford event at Riverside on 23rd December – a bargain at Rp525k as we claim our rain-check from earlier in the year and on 30th December we will return to Pangkalan Jati for our final round of 2018 with, I am sure, a few refreshments on hand to toast the end of year.
On 6th January 2019 we will be at Gading Raya followed by a social evening at the DOCKS as a welcome back and to celebrate Match-Play Champion Jens Roestel’s birthday. Jens will be sponsoring a couple of barrels of beer that evening so we can enjoy a fun evening to kick off the New Year.
