The Day

Another oddly quiet Tee Set Sunday but the lower numbers did not detract from an otherwise great day as we headed west to play at Imperial Klub Golf. The roads were quiet and many of us arrived in good time to enjoy the excellent service in the Club House and/or practise facilities and unusually, the wedding fair which was occupying most of the seating area for the day.

With only 4 flights to arrange we were ready in good time and the starter took advantage of a gap in the field to get us off 10 minutes early which meant one of our players was still putting on golf shoes on the way to the 1st Tee whilst ensuring his food was delivered to the course too.

Once going, we had a smooth round under warm, bright but hazy skies and were all finished with scoring by just after 4.40pm. This fortunately coincided with a break in the wedding fair entertainment, allowing the prize giving to be completed without needing to compete with the music which had entertained us as we came off the course.

One new-comer this week and a warm Tee Set welcome to Mike Riggs and one notable welcome back to Tony Wood after 106 weeks. We hope to see you both out again soon.

Thanks you to VP Ric Wymer for managing the scoring on the day and pictures can be found here.

The Play

A firm course and benign conditions ensured we all had the opportunity to play well and there were some excellent results turned in on the day. For the second week in a row there were no skirts and despite the quicker greens, we all putted well or managed our fringe dwelling sufficiently to avoid any risks of a Monster Putter prize. Inescapable however is Most Strokes and Leon Bivolaru and Mike Riggs saved an otherwise log jam of players on 8 with their return of 9 on a hole to share this award. Mike won his money back with the only Sandy Par of the day and Keith Gorman came back an impressive 9 strokes better to win Most Improved.

First Birdie went to Simon Oxley with James Ross winning Low Putts whilst Roger Finnie picked up First Eagle and Low Gross on the day.

Only needing to finish as the only player in C grade this week, Jari Antikainen picked that Low Net award where he was joined by the in-form Graham Parsonage and the ever-green former President, Geoff Thwaites.

Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results are here: Form_ Current Results Imperial

Tee Set Match Play Championship

The 3rd of 4 Quarter final matches was completed on Sunday with Keith Gorman riding his great back 9 to win 2Up against Matthew Powell. Keith moves onto the Kunning Bracket Final where he will play Simon Oxley for a place in the Final. On the other side of the draw, President Roger Finnie awaits the outcome of the remaining QF between Simon Reynolds and Divya Prakash Ahuja.

Next Up: Gunung Geulis 21st July 2019

A rare Tee Set visit to this excellent 36 hole golf venue, our last visit was in 2015!, and so we have set up some options so as to take full advantage of 2 interesting layouts and the accommodation options of both the wonderful Royal Tulip Hotel and the more down to earth Cottages.

For those wishing to play both layouts we have negotiated a good price for Saturday and we have a package for those wanting to come down and enjoy a pleasant evening before playing Sunday and/or who may be playing Rainbow Hills Saturday with our friends at D.O.G.S. and wish to stay overnight before joining Tee Set on Sunday. Of course, those wishing to play Sunday only have this option also so we hope there will be a great turnout over the week-end.

Pricing is Rp2,465,000 B&B for 2 persons at the Royal Tulip in a deluxe room with 1 golf round and Rp1,800,000 for the same package staying in the cottages. Saturday golf and/or extra player in the room is priced at Rp950,000. If you are interested in booking either the hotel or cottages and/or joining Saturday for golf, please contact VP Bill Lloyd at bill.lloyd@asiantigers-indonesia.com to reserve your place.
