A magic weekend away, with 48 players joining golf on Sunday. While the thunder bellowed at us from around the hills and a few drops of rain came down, we all escaped getting drenched and finished the round.

The format was individual stableford with the best three scores in each flight added to form a team score. With teams adopting their own names, like the Studmuffins, it added a bit of fun and competition to the day.

It’s a tough course and many struggled but not long standing Tee Set member and sponsor Bob Fleischmann who racked up 43 points to win the individual comp and carry his team – Jude, Dan and Emil – to victory. Bob had slipped out before presentations, but his team enjoyed the winnings, and we will catch up with Bob next time. Kudos to the ladies today with Sally (40) and Octa (39) taking second and third prizes. Andrew had the lowest gross with 74. Great open air area at Gunung Geulis so for the first time in a long time, we were able to do a brief presentation, with Bill upfront and personal.

We still have prizes for last week’s round at Imperial in envelopes when we catch up with you….sorry, it was all a bit hectic this week, as the Commitee steered between family responsibilities, gin, champagne and red wine over the weekend. It was good to get out.

Next Up: Sunday 24th October, 2021

Always a beautiful drive through the jungle and a solid test of golf, Riverside hosts us this week, as they have many times before. Riverside requires a thoughtful approach to golf, a balance of attack and defence. And if you can’t be bothered with that, just enjoy the company and counting your shots. Register on the app.

A big thanks to Roger who has been organising all our rounds, including the sensitive discussions with host clubs and safe travels for your return to the UK mate. See you back for the Championships!!

Tee Set Championships, Saturday 27th November 2021

Don’t forget it is a Saturday afternoon event!!!!! Your Committee is finalising arrangements for what will be a great day at Cengkareng. You can register on the app now, as 21 already have. Best to get in quick as we do have a limit on numbers.

As expected, this is our premier event and we return the accumulated fees plus some generous sponsor money to you for this event. Of course we will be a bit restrained….but it will be good.

The grand tradition of Bob’s Hot Hed hot dogs and Jack’s AsiaServ smoothies will be there as always. Thanks to Bob and Jack for your generous sponsorship as always, two absolute gentlemen!!! A shout out to Neil in Australia, perhaps the most passionate fan of Jack’s smoothies, we will miss you this year mate, but then again it means more smoothies for us. Former Prez Pascal of http://pascmusic.1dunia.net/quick-access will be back for the Championship, playing with the King for the cup and bringing his timeless tunes along to accompany our after match stretches, which worked a treat last year….very loose.

Geoff Thwaites and his company, Kojo, sponsor our Monthly Medal event and our weekly admin support, and are kindly sponsoring the take home trophies this year. A big thanks to Bill and Asian Tigers, Mick and Schenck Process, Richard and JS Luwansa and Andy and LF Logistics again for pledging sponsorship, as well as Dan the Beer Man and Anker. ABV are helping us out with booze and JIIB with some goodies to give away. Thanks to Roger and Mayapada for sponsorship and providing the ambulance, just in case there are any dance floor injuries. Not joking, there have been a few over the years….

Of course, we are always open to more sponsors and it’s a great way to contribute to Tee Set and connect to others. Please contact any of our Committee if you wish to sponsor; we can work with you to make it work. I will give you lots of plugs in upcoming editions, or, if you prefer a lower profile, I am happy to plant subliminal references so people appreciate you without knowing it’s you. Yep, the magic of communications.
