No overseas rounds this week but travelling lovebirds, Tom and Cucu sent us a great photo from my favourite course in the world, Merapi, perched on the side of an active volcano with evidence of recent lava flows, the site of many eruptions!!!!

Ric came back to golf playing with the SMOG guys at Pondok Cabe, swinging smooth and free without the admin burden on his shoulders. The ladies were back in force last week too – enjoying the jumping around more than the golf – and preferring not to tell us their scores.

In total we counted 9 scores this weeks, whether you officially entered or not. After catching up with Iris on Tuesday and hearing about her first round back at Jags and her experience at BSD reception, I felt compelled to include her in this week’s post, so I could share her story. Many courses are now offering senior discounts for us 55 and overs…great deal….and Iris being so fresh and youthful was charged full rate then asked for ID before being given the discount!!! Very impressive Ibu, or should we say Mbak….

Solid rounds by Mark 33 at Cengkareng, Craig 36 at Emeralda and Shawn 37 at PJ but the joint winners this week on 38 points are Ric and Jiro – both at Podok Cabe. Great effort by Ric on his first round back ensuring he remains part of Tee Set history by having a global win on the record and a second “Global” victory for Jiro.

Next Up: Sunday 12th September 2021, Welcome Back to Tee Set Round – NOW FULL. IF YOU SIGNED UP AND CANNOT JOIN PLEASE DE-REGISTER SO WE CAN RELEASE THE SLOT TO THE WAITING LIST – no walk-ins on the day; registered players only

While we are all working our way through the easing of restrictions and lifting of capacities at our favourite golf courses, it is still not possible to make group bookings with courses, however, if you go to the MyGolf2U application this week you will be able to register for our Welcome Back round. This will allow the course to register you as individuals and will enable us to run a Tee Set competition on the application without forming as a Tee Set group.

The course requires proof of vaccination. If you have vaccinated overseas, show your certificate and ID matching the certificate. Locker rooms are still not open and restaurant capacity is limited. There will not be a presentation ceremony but fees will be collected and prizes given, all without gathering. All registrations and scores must be through the MyGolf2U app, which enables super fast processing of results. Not all categories will be recognised but prizes will be adjusted to make up for it.

Please register by Wednesday night if possible. We will accept registrations later but it’s easier for the club is they have plenty of advanced notice of bookings. Getting there, step by step….
