These were not the scenes on Sunday, although Andrew’s eagle may have prompted similar celebrations. Suffice to say the excitement is once again building in golf groups wherever we are.

A rain delayed start and some very slow non-Tee Setters on the course did not prevent all 43 players from finishing. Scores were not even close to last week’s bonanza, but there were strong rounds across the grades.

Welcome to Tee Set for James and Honey, and big welcome backs to Leon after 36 weeks, Jaco after 32 weeks, Matthew, Craig and Jude.

Thanks again to Roger and the club for making such a smooth operation, and thanks to all players for using the MyGolf2U app and allowing us to focus on our golf.

Again the event was stableford format and Riche led the field in with 40 points, followed by Indar with 39 points and Matthew and Dan on 38 points. Sally led the ladies in with 35 points and Andrew again had the lowest gross score with 78.

Next Up: Sunday 26th September, 2021: Tee Set Monthly Medal

After several months, we are again ready to play our Monthly Medal – changed for the first time to a net strokeplay scoring format, consistent with standard practice. Play will be off the blue tees for gents and red tees for ladies.

Registrations are again through the MyGolf2U app but have filled up quickly so if you wish to register, please contact Roger on +628113891350 as we have a reserve flight, and players do drop out.

We are returning to our welcome back course, the course we usually play our Monthly Medals on, with the same rules and protocols we have been following. We have had discussions with other great courses and have booked them over the next few weeks. The revised schedule will be confirmed later in the week.

Nominations for Tee Set Committee, 2021-22

At each Tee Set Championship event in November, an election is held to determine who will be running Tee Set over the following year. In past years, a President has been elected, but in 2020, a Committee was elected, and the Committee subsequently elected a Chair. The current Committee has voted by majority to continue this into 2021, so the election will be for a Committee. The next Committee may decide to go back to a President, it’s up to them.

All Tee Setters, especially our ladies who have not yet been on Committee as far as we can recall, are encouraged to nominate themselves or someone they think can represent them on the Committee. Of course, nominees have to agree. The Committee communicates with each other mainly online, and decisions are made on a majority basis. New ideas and new faces are very much welcome. We have survived for this long, including this year, because of our capacity to get on with each other and adapt. Tee Set is a fun golf society – which means the Committee always tries to keep fun and golf in balance. There is no Constitution and only one rule – a player must be able to stand unassisted on the first tee box. Everything else we try to work out based on common sense.

Please forward nominations to our official email teeset.jakarta@gmail.com.
