Sunday saw 82 Tee Setters gather at Matoa Nasional for our Anniversary Scramble event as we celebrated our 37th Birthday and “never a week-end missed” of golf in Jakarta. With numbers on the course restricted due to social distancing and the weather turning up with a bright, sunny, still day, we were all to have a smooth and enjoyable day.

With the Hot Hed BBQ in full swing at the clubhouse, Asia Serv smoothies & PT Delta beers on hand and our excellent support team making sure drinks got round the course, we were able to keep refreshed as we plotted our way around the fairways. The course itself was in good condition after some maintenance work done in preparation for the day on our behalf.

As always the novelty holes provided some entertainment and a break from the regular flow of the game with the pool cue putter hole particularly throwing up some interesting styles; Santi Miller leading her Pie Men from the front with her birdie putt on 8.

We welcomed several newcomers on the day: Andre Kaunang, Efa Siahaan, Antonio Wahono, Park HR, Kimberly Dressler, Firman and Affandy Zulkarnain. We hope you all had an enjoyable day and to see you back out again soon,

A warm appreciation and thank to all our sponsors who supported the day: Hot Hed, Asia Serv, PT Delta & San Miguel, JS Luwansa, Asian Tigers, Riverside, Matoa Nasional, Andy Coop, James Bristow, Jeff Durham and Doug McQuater. Your contributions and assistance all make the day so much more successful. Thank you also to all the Matoa team and our assistants on the day, Brenda, Aisha and Taupan for all your efforts to make everything run smoothly.

After the round we retired to the upstairs function room where we conducted the prize giving and then enjoyed a fairly late finish as the tales of the day got recounted. Lots of photos of the day here.

The Prize-Giving

After VP Bill Lloyd welcomed everyone to the event, VP Ric Wymer said a few words on the recently departed Tee Setters, Stan Cook and Ian Barr which was followed by a customary toast. President Roger Finnie gave a warm thanks to all our sponsors and then welcomed all the past Presidents to the stage to cut the cake as the Singing President led the chorus of Happy Birthday to our birthday boy, Richard Mau. The Clyde Wickiser Trophy for Clubman of the Year was then presented to Keith Miller for all his support and work on the committee over the last 10 years. With Keith returning to the UK later this month we also gave him a small token of our appreciation to be consumed beforehand. We also gave our long time Secretary Brenda Mayland our warm thanks and appreciation and wished her all the best as she heads off to get married.

After a lucky draw we called up our friends from HOGS to say a few words about their charity work for cleft palate which was followed by a pass around of the hat with Tee Setters contributing generously. Richard Mau and JS Luwansa had donated a lucky draw prize which was then auctioned off for the charity thanks to Alastair Livingston putting it back into the hat. Overall Rp8,584,000 was donated to HOGS on the day and this will support at least 1 more operation.

Onto the prizes and first up were our best dressed team winners with Hustlers (John & Sarah Brown, Andy and Octa Abram) being squeezed into 2nd place by the 4 Maskerteers (Cucu Chandra, Tom Grace, Steve Sutton and Doug McQuater) but both getting some wine for their excellent efforts to coordinate outfits on the day.

Most drives contributed went to Arnold Castillon and for handicaps >=30 to Dimitri Burge for their anchoring of their team’s efforts. Long drive with the 1980’s driver went to Andre Kaunang whilst NTP went to Philip Schaferdiek. Best gross, not otherwise in the prizes, went to Fishy Tales (Jeff Durham, Fitrat Ameer, Efan Siahaan and Antonio Wahono).

In the net prizes, in 3rd place were 3 Poms and a Convict (Craig Edwards, Andy Coop, Mick Dodsworth and Dave Prosser) whilst our runners up were Bags of Tricks (David Baglivo, James Bristow, Gaurav Shirke and Tribhuvan Singh). Our winners on the day were Par-Tee-On (Philip Schaferdiek, Riahana Ariestya, Jay Croakley and Kimberly Dressler).

Thank you to everyone who made the day a special celebration for Tee Set and congratulations to all our winners on the day. Our final results table is below.
