We trust all of you and your families have managed to stay safe and well during the last couple of months. Whilst some continue to remain largely within the safety of their homes and a few are overseas awaiting the lifting of travel restrictions to return to Jakarta, there is also a desire for a partial return to golfing normality amongst many of the Group. After canvassing some of the active players and taking into account the current situation, our plan presently is to return to official events with the Monthly Medal at Cengkareng on Sunday 31st May. Pre- & Post-match social distancing arrangements and on course protocols will follow the arrangements set out with the Club Management.

This is assuming the current social distancing restrictions do not get updated and/or extended after they are due to expire on 22nd May 2020. Please look out for further news on this early next week. If we are able to recommence as planned, we will work out the schedule for Tee Set events through the rest of the year, including the revised Match Play schedule, and advise everyone in due course.

In the meantime, there is a casual game booked at Riverside for this Saturday, Sunday being the beginning of Idul Fitri based on present information. Should Idul Fitri be announced later in the week as commencing on Saturday then the game will be moved to Sunday (as the course will be closed Saturday) and we will update you. Please sign up as usual here and we will advise the course of those planning to play.

Congratulations to VP Bill Lloyd for his Hole-In-One last Sunday at Bogor Raya. Bill is seen here picking the ball out the hole on 11th green with a truly local track-man of the shot being laid out on the green thanks to Richard Mau’s recently purchased hand of bananas. Bill was able to celebrate his 2nd ever hole-in-one with everyone who joined him at the restaurant afterwards.

For everyone celebrating, we wish you Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri for next Sunday… or Saturday should it change….
