Time to remind you if you have not signed up for this week’s round to do so here now. Green fees are 850k with carts and first groups tee off at 11.30am. Please nominate your preferred tee box and any pairings you have arranged in the comments section.

Coming Up: Valentine’s Day, 14 February, Sawangan

Roses are red, violets are blue, this day at Sawangan is all about you, ladies.

There has been some frantic action in the early pairings. We have even seen some ladies we rarely see coming along for practice rounds in anticipation. For those not yet paired, enjoy it while it lasts, we can work it out on the day.

With a great southern BBQ provided by Werner Jayson and team, lots of prizes and goodies, and plenty of Indonesian and western favourites brought to you live by the Luscious Love Tones, James “Let your Love Flow” Bristow has put together a brilliant event. Overnight accommodation is available through the course through Devi on 0812 9504 1383. For those wanting to play on Saturday, the R&A monthly group tees off at 11am, so be there at 10.30, introduce yourself to Phil and pay your 50k entry.

Our tee off on Sunday will be at 10.30am, an earlier start for an earlier finish. Fifteen carts have been pre-booked but it is a walking course for those who prefer. For players, the combined entry and BBQ fee is 250k and for non-players, who are most welcome, the BBQ fee is 150k. Drinks can be purchased through the club or smuggled in discreetly. For those accustomed to lavish, subsidised Tee Set events, these will come later in the year, when we are more cashed up with your fees and fines. As usual, everyone is reminded to enjoy the event safely, respecting the COVID protocols. We’ll call for registrations and pairings next week, so you can keep your secret a little longer.

Coming Up: Jakarta Interleague 21 February, Riverside – Tee Set Starts our Campaign

Yes, we can now post videos! Before judging us all on this swing, we must remind ourselves that the Tee Set team will present a diversity of swing styles, personalities and handicaps, but will be unified under a banner of green to regain the Interleague championship in 2021. Sam returned recently from several years away rescuing wildlife to captain our interleague team, and has told us “the team is taking shape, but is not yet final, so if you feel you are discovering form and fancy a challenge, then call me on 08528 045 6768”. He was overheard saying something similar somewhere else recently. Anyway…..moving on…it’s a six round matchplay competition played at Riverside as a mix of pairs matches (fourballs) and singles matches (two balls). For those Tee Setters interested in competing, let Sam know and for the many who moonlight with other teams, all the very best of luck to you, we’ll see you in battle!

Coming Up: Bandung Bash, Easter Weekend, 1-4 April, Giri Gahana Golf Resort

A tradition of over 15 years now, Geoff Thwaites hosts the Bandung Bash every Easter. It’s all about the fun, with the fancy dress night now legendary. Talk, or whisper, with Geoff about it, or check out the website here.

This is not an official Tee Set event, so we will continue our schedule during Easter, but it’s a great alternative for those who want a change of scenery.
