The Sixth Tee Set World Cup of Golf had a record of 91 participants, spread over 23 teams. It is our premier team event of the year and brings newcomers and long time welcome backs to Tee Set, special mention to the Lawtons after 394 weeks away, back with the well dressed Saffas!!! A special Happy Birthday to Simon Reynolds too, one of the initiators of this event!! And a big thanks to event Supremo, defending champ, a whole lot of character and conviction packed into a tight bundle, Craig Edwards – who leaves us soon for neighbouring lands, with the normal great back up by Roger, Geoff, Ric, Bill, as well as Adhe and Beby who helped with the scoring, a brilliant effort with so many people.

We tried to include photos of a few of the teams, thanks for sending them in. Above from bottom to top, we have teams from Germany, England, Indonesia – the mighty Srikandi, Scotland (2nd Lowest Gross), South Africa (Low Gross), Canada (2= Lowest Net), Finland (2= Lowest Net) and the mighty Indian Chiefs winning the title, with a great combination of strong individual scores and combinations when it mattered. Well done Rav, TBS, Jeremy and Indar!!!!

Team by team scores are below; individual scores can be found here. With a few honorary citizens blended into teams, we had players from at least 20 countries playing, demonstrating that a pandemic and restrictions on global travel don’t stop people from different countries getting together to play golf. For the record, here is a guess at all the countries represented, if I’ve missed any, please accept my apologies and a beer in due course, and add your country in comments.

Indonesia (of course), India, Finland, Canada, South Africa, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland (may be able to count two here), Philippines, USA, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Japan, Singapore, France, Malaysia.

Next Up: Sunday 13th June, 2021 – Interleague, Riverside, 12.00pm 880k with carts

In a one off scheduling co-incidence, caused by the World Cup, we are back at Riverside to battle out Interleague, and play our parallel Tee Set event. As usual for interleague fixtures, men play off white tees. If we get an earlier tee off time, we will let you know in the reminder post later in the week. Again please try out the mygolf2U app, as well as registering here.

Tee Set is Approaching our 2000th event……

Yes, Sunday 8th August will be a big milestone and, now that the World Cup is won and dusted, your Committee is working out the best available venue to host the event. People were going to travel in from the corners of the globe…hmmm…but that’s not happening, so we will come from Bintaro, Depok, Kuningan and Kemang instead.

As with most things in the Committee, never fear, it is in hand. And, yes it will be a scramble (literally, it will be a scramble – format) and it will be a success, because of you….and those who step up and help, thanks as always. So keep the date free, and we will advise you where, what to wear and how long you will be required. Out for now…..
