This Sunday sees us return to the popular and excellent Bumi Serpong Damai course. We have an 12.00 pm start and the price is unchanged from 2018 at Rp999k including cart.

After the post match presentations, you are invited to decamp from BSD to De la Mexicana which is run by the family of Tee Setter Axel Hertzke and is located only 5 minutes from the golf course: always a good end to the day so please join us if you can.
Maps to the restaurant will be available at BSD.
Sunday 10th March 2017 Padang Modern
Your scribe has unlocked the secrets of Flickr’s new access policies, basically they do not like window’s browser any more, and now we can belatedly bring you the report from last Sunday.
The Day
Although the sign-ups were a little lower than normal through Saturday, a flurry of late registrations and few just arriving on the day boosted our numbers to a reasonably healthy 32 Tee Setters last Sunday.
We have had some issues finding a compatible schedule with Modern resulting in several cancellations last year but this does not detract from us wishing to come and enjoy the proactive service the management and starter seek to offer as well the subtle challenge Modern’s course provides. This visit was no different with the starter moving us to a 5 hole mini-shot gun shortly before tee off enabling us to get off all together …. although the group 1st off 1 was a little bemused by the sight of the field driving past them as they prepared to tee off.
A cloudy but otherwise relatively dry day enabled the newly positioned first groups to go round in under 4 hours but with some wet patches on the fairways making the ground soft and thick rough making playing conditions more difficult, there were longer rounds recorded as some adapted to the challenges of the course and perhaps shaking off some golf rust.
A warm Tee Set welcome to Steven Bowhill, Ryan McClure and Connor Herron whilst it was a pleasure to welcome back Steve Sutton after 256 weeks and Ryan McPhee after a more modest 42 weeks. We look forward to seeing you out again soon.
A big thank you to Ric and Lis Wymer for managing the day and photos are here.
The Play
A Booby Prize trifecta this week with Ryan McClure taking home Most Strokes (15), Monster Putter (54) and a skirt. The skirts were a “Mac” attack with Mr McClure being joined by Andrew Mackin. Most Improved went to Rosie Putri with 7.
Lots of multiple winners today but as with the 1 fine rule, only 1 prize per person. Simon Oxley took home Low Putts for his 26 but also recognized for the only Sandy Par recorded whilst Tim Knight won Low Gross for his 84 off the stick. Arthur Mallari was awarded First Birdie for his effort on hole 12.
Our Low Net winners on the day were Mark Johnson (A:76), Aljosja Van Dorssen (B:76) and James Stuart (C:73).
Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here.
Jakarta Inter-League: Calling all interested Players
After many years of being hosted by Jagorawi Golf and Country Club, the 2019 JIL season will get on the way on 24th March 2019 at a new venue, Riverside. As in 2018, Tee Set will hold its weekly event on the JIL Sundays at the same course and we will field 1 team from registered players to compete for the Society in JIL. Usually we have requests for Tee Set to help fill out one or more of the teams so we can give more opportunities to play than just the 8 required to fill our team on any given week.
This year, we are appointing a new Captain, Simon Oxley, with the hope he can galvanize our team to victory and recover the JIL Cup last won in 2015. Simon would love to hear from any player interested to play in JIL and represent Tee Set so if you are able to answer the call, please contact him directly via whatsapp on +62 811 1201 378.
