Rancamaya weekend and Tee Set versus D.O.G.S

Whilst we’ve seemingly been talking about the week-end for ages…. well 2 months at least … its now upon us and in around 1 week from today members from both Societies will begin to gather for what is always one the most enjoyable and competitive, in a friendly sort of a way, week-ends on our calendar. After this Sunday its “the next up” week-end and so for those who are interested in partaking in the activities of the week-end but have not yet signed up, its time to get off the fence and let us know so we can plan accordingly. Anybody coming for next Sunday only can sign up as usual from Monday but please let Captain Ric Wymer know your interest to represent Tee Set as noted below….

Most urgent are any room bookings which those staying one or more nights of the week-end at the R Hotel may wish plus the BBQ numbers. If you’ve not already done so, check out the details on the dedicated page on the website: https://teesetgolf.wordpress.com/rancamaya-weekend-2021/ and then contact asap Mark Johnson with the required information: (1) which nights you wish to stay (2) preferred room type (3) back up room type in case (2) is unavailable (4) golf Saturday or not and finally (5) BBQ Saturday or not and number of guests. Mark’s email address is mark@ecomatpro.com and his WhatsApp is 0811865301. We will need to finalize the rooms under our booking, golf slots for Saturday and the BBQ numbers early this coming week so your assistance to help to confirm your participation is greatly anticipated if not already done. No need to reconfirm if you are already organized unless plans have changed.

For those arriving Friday 7th May, there will be a casual pick-up game in the afternoon or rumor has it that JAWS maybe relocating their game to Rancamaya from the currently scheduled Sentul Highlands – check with one of their admins to confirm. Otherwise the schedule is free and easy with no formal arrangements.

Saturday 8th May: the fun begins… for those wishing to partake of the formal activities, we will be hosting a small charity tournament, Rp150k contribution to be paid to your organizers, Roger Finnie and Craig Edwards with the game fee paid to the club of Rp750k. Registration and tee off from around 11.30am but later is fine so long as you are finished before 5.45pm in time for the scoring and prize-giving which will start from 6pm. Prizes for low net 1st, 2nd and 3rd, low gross 1st & 2nd plus skill prizes for Long Drive and Near Pin will be awarded – selected from those who have submitted their cards before 6pm to the hosts for scoring purposes. A thank you to those who have stepped forward to support these including David Prosser/Celebrity Fitness, John Brown, Gary Danskin and your hosts for the day: if anyone would like to make some additional contributions we’ll add prizes to day accordingly. Excess funds raised from the event will be going to the Fiona Unity Foundation in support of Lombok’s Forgotten Children.

Whether you are joining the above or not, everyone staying overnight, brave enough to travel back and forth on the day or staying near-by are welcome to join the BBQ which will commence from 6pm in the club house – upper floor usually based on previous years but just follow the noise. Cost is Rp350k per head and thanks to Dan Javier/PT Delta and Geoff Thwaites/Kojo there will be some added extras to the BBQ and refreshments to kick off the evening …. at least until they run out and so you are all recommended to bring some refreshments of your own choosing to see the night out before retiring for Sunday’s main event.

Sunday 9th May: it starts to get serious… being the last round of the D.O.G.S. elcectic cycle at Rancamaya those in contention will be gearing up to make a last push for the Big Dog which will be awarded that evening along with the other prizes on offer for the day and the cycle. Tee Set too will be hosting its regular Sunday event and so everyone is invited to join either or both of these events – society fee of Rp100k before teeing off to each society however if you want to double your chances. Game fee of Rp750k to the club as usual. However the main event will be the annual match for the Juergen Degert Trophy and if you have not already informed Captain Ric Wymer of your interest and availability to represent Tee Set please do so asap at teeset.jakarta@gmail.com. He’ll greatly appreciate keen volunteers and knowing several, if not all of his 22 slots are filled as soon as possible.

Post round, score cards to the respective scorers before enjoying a well earned shower and refreshments at the club house. Prize presentations will follow for each Society and the award of the new Juergen Degert Trophy, the last one apparently not having survived the pandemic after most recently being seen partying at Riverside after last year’s event! Thereafter a relaxing trip back to Jakarta or further nights at Rancamaya as you may have arranged…. and thoughts of next year!
