A small crowd of TeeSetters venture off to Bogor Raya. Travelers enjoyed sublime travel conditions to the course with times from Kemang areas under 50 minutes. Adhe, our club organiser, was there after a long drive back that morning from the Bandung Bash, Where she reported golfers were still partying to the wee hours of the morning.

We got off to a quick start as the course was fairly empty due to Ramadan. The course was in great nick and the greens pace were fairly even. Many golfers put in scorecards that may them happy. There were an abundance of birdies over the first few holes resulting in a double payment of the birdie prize. Winners are grinners. The Stableford points were above usual, such was the ease the course played at. The President even managed to par the Index 1 18th hole. A lot of this may be down to the fact we played off whites but more so due to the nearly perfect golfing conditions offered by Bogor Raya. They let us down in one area. They shoved three flights in front of us on the last 9. This slowed us down but not the good golf that was on display.

Back to the club house after a quick wash behind the ears in Bogor Raya’s world class change rooms. The club had on offer a free beer and some Korean snacks. Banter was brisk as we listened to all the near misses and 300 metre drive stories. Golfers bare a strong resemblance to fishermen in how a story is re-told. Anyway love listening to them. two problems in the club house, 1. they wouldn’t serve Minn a cold beer and 2. they tried to kill Hitoshi with a dodgy bowl full of seafood. Besides this it was great surrounds that TeeSet golfers enjoyed their warm down after a day of truly wonderful golf at Bogor Raya.

This Week we are still in the lovely Mountain Course country this time, at Rainbow Hills. Rainbow Hills offers wonderful views, great food and best of all a great challenging Golf Course. We will be playing off whites again, unless you feel the need for further challenges. We will play the Forest and Mountain Courses with an 11am Tee Off so please sign up on MyGolf2U. The traffic will be light both ways a truly excellent opportunity to get to play a premier course.

What’s Coming Up

On Sunday the 23rd the game has been moved to Pondok Cabe due to the closure of Gading Raya for Ramadan. We have a great price at Pondok Cabe so get on down for the last day of traffic free golf until next time Ramadan rolls around.

Match Play rames need to be wound up by the end of this month. That leaves this Rainbow Hill, Pondok Cabe and the Monthly Meday at Cengkerang as the last 3 TeeSet games to get it done.

Rancamaya Golf Extravaganza is over the weekend of the 12th, 13th, & 14th. Jaws will host the Friday game. On Saturday there is a 2 man scramble hosted by DOGS and on Sunday there is the TeeSet v DOGS matchplay. Speak to myself or Dean and Roger if you would like to represent TeeSet as we prepare to take their bone away.

In June we have the World Cup at Riverside so please start organising your national teams to see who gets bragging rights for the next year. There seems to be a lot of Indian and Italian golfers around so we would expect multiple teams from them.

A great round from Max with 44 points and not a fairway missed and a lovely chip in birdie to make up for those 3 putts that lipped out. A pleasure to watch.

Good to see Simon back from climbing mountains. He hit a solid 75 for low gross. Spend the money on golf balls not mountaineering gear.

Good job with the flat stick Viboon 26 putts. Spent a bit of time visiting other fairways but putted well. 🙂

Number 1 hole for the first birdie from Monique well done. The money matches your shirt. Dressing for success.

The handsome lads of Neil and Jens both Sandied the same hole in the same group different bunkers.

Three flights stuck on the swing. Simon loved the carpark announcer waiting until he started his swing.
