The Day
A bright sunny day and relatively light traffic on the high-way greeted the 30 Tee Setters who made it to Gading Raya on Sunday. With the morning numbers being relatively low, we virtually had the club-house to ourselves with our numbers equally split between those taking the opportunity to enjoy the a quiet chat over breakfast whilst others warmed up for the game on the practice facilities beside the club-house.
We were well looked after the by the Gading Raya team both in the club-house and on the course and thank you to the starter for making sure we were off a little early once all the arriving players were accounted for. With an empty course in front of us, we had a quick round and were able to complete the prize-giving by just after 5pm whilst enjoying some post-round stories over a cool refreshment.
2 newcomers this week with a warm Tee Set welcome to Eddy Hardono and Andrew Dorbs. A warm welcome back to Gary Hing after 27 weeks and Grant Lutz & Zander Watt after 14 weeks.
Thank you to VP Ric Wymer for managing the registrations and scoring on the day and photos of the day are posted here.
The Play
Some excellent rounds both Gross and Net on the day with our Treasurer noting the moderately rare occurrence of no skirts on the day. In fact he was to miss out on all the fines with our Most Strokes and Monster Putter awardees, Indar Dhaliwal and Andrew Dorbs respectively, absent from the prize-giving.
Master of the Tee Set play this week was Chris Lever who had an excellent return of 24 putts on what were quite fast and tricky greens. First Sandy went to Matthias Coessens and Aurelie Neufkens took home Most Improved.
First Birdie went to Grant Lutz whilst our double prize winner was Gary Hing who had an eagle on his way to best gross of the day of 75. Our Low Net winners were Divya Prakash Ahuja after a best net of the day 62 where he was joined by Richie Tiblani and Franz Heuken.
Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results of the day are attached: Form_ Current Results Gading Raya

Next Up: Cengkareng Sunday 30th June 2019 – Monthly Medal and Round 3 of Eclectic X
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 Monthly Medal for 2019.
In addition to being the 6th Monthly Medal of 2019, this week will also be the third round of Cycle X of the Tee Set Eclectic and so a good opportunity to lay down a marker (or improve your score) in seeking to wrest the Eclectic Trophy from our current Champion, Lorenzo Marengo. We’ve not had a 2-time winner yet so will this be the cycle when someone breaks the rhythm? If you are interested to see your current score then please check out the Eclectic page.
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 Rp850,000 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 purchased a limited number of golf carts. If you wish to reserve one please contact the Golf reservations staff at Cengkareng 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.
