A very scenic place is Rancamaya, so scenic in fact that the golf club has made huge swathes of it OB and Oh Buggar was the call of many a golfer on Sunday. TeeSet arrived with a squad of 26 with some very evenly matched paired or so it seemed on paper. 13 pairs went out to do battle for TeeSet and 9 came home with their heads lowered. Not even the army ship ploy seemed to work. However when golfing with TeeSet there is always a silver lining to every grey cloud. Sunday’s silver lining came in the form of Renny and Juju who with 4 holes to play were 3 down. They then choked the life out of the DOGS pair and came home winners. A last hole victory is the best victory as you get to see the pain of defeat on the losing team’s faces and to win the last 4 holes is nothing short of fantastic.

The two other victories went to our low hcp Team of Simon and Bobby and the other winning pair was Patrick and Michael, the high handicap pairing. Patrick complained of a sore back having carried the President for the first 10 holes. The pair then ignited to win the next 6 holes and put the DOGS pair to the sword with the biggest winning margin for the TeeSetters that day. Simon of the very pastel yellow shorts and Bobby had revenge over the pair that beat them the previous year. So whilst we may have been belted off the course, let’s keep the fire burning in the belly for when we take to Rancamaya next year and skin the DOGS. With a rebel yell TEESET!

Gracious in defeat. The plotting begins.

Upcoming at Jagorawi combined with JIL

This Sunday we have the Interleague games. TeeSet is still looking for a player or two to join the squad. Please let us know if you can make the Interleague team as we start our march up the comp table to undoubtable victory later this year. It is a semi shotgun start so make sure you are on time. TeeSetters not taking part in the Interleague games will have their usual Sunday out at JAgorawi chasing Stableford points and low gross prizes.

What does the future hold for TeeSet?

Plenty we have the monthly medal at the lovely Cengkerang Course. This is followed by a trip to Gunung Geulis on the 4th of June when the rains will have left the mountains and moved to Malaysia. On the 11th of June we have the World Cup at Riverside, which once again is a sellout, with teams representing countries from all corners of the globe. We have started a wait list in case of any dropouts.

This is the 40th anniversary of the TeeSet golf society and we have a few things in store. World Cup in June, Birthday Scramble in September and the Championship in December. We are looking for companies and individuals to get onboard and help TeeSet with some sponsorship. You will get recognition at all 3 events and have banners at the skill holes as well as in the club house. The President will sing your praises in every after round wind down. Next week we will send out a sponsorship package with greater detail. In the meantime you can ask yourselves “Not what TeeSet can do for you but what you can do for TeeSet”. (If the sponsorship is large enough we might bring in a few LIV players on their weekend off to help us stick it to the DOGS next year)

See you at Jagorawi
