TeeSetters took to Modern Golf Club in Tangerang last Sunday whereas the President took a wrong turn and end up in Pattaya playing Phlu Ta Luang Navy Golf Course (photo). A quick bit about this course, there’s a choice of 4 courses each 9 holes. Caddies greet you at the foyer and fight to carry your bag. It can get vicious, best to just head inside and pay your green fees, which are pretty reasonable. The course is a bit short but there are a few obstacles that even good golfers need to navigate around. Greens are slow, you get your own cart so we flew around the course in 3.15 hours. Best of all beers are super cheap.

Back to the main game at Modern, first of all a big thanks to Jens for hosting Sunday’s event. Surely a President in making, awaiting nominating? The numbers were a bit smaller than usual with a few golfers out of town. A few had been to Bandung, a few were in Bali and definitely a few home in Europe on holidays Checking the forecast weather seemed reasonable. The air quality was Jakarta Standard, killing yourself by breathing standard.

On to the winners

Rosita a happy best Stableford score. Hope to see you soon with your improved knees when you can challenge for low gross.

Well done to Daniel for taking low gross with a well played 81. Maybe someone for Dean’s TeeSet Terrors Team?

Everyone needs a body double and here’s Chris’s, Joe, who stood in for the first Birdie prize winner.

Max took low putts with 30, Sri took the money.

Security

Each weekend we play golf our valuables are left in either golf bags, the golf cart dashboard or locker. Please make sure you secure your goods as best you can. This may mean leaving excess cash in the locker room or at least knowing how much cash you have in your wallet. Other issues are keys and HPs. It is our responsibility to look after our belongings. So by removing temptation you are removing the opportunity for someone to ruin your day.

MyGolf2U

A very easy app to use. Please try and put your scores in during the round as it just speeds things up at the end and stops the President from drinking too much. It is very easy to do.

October 15 JGC

TeeSetters we head off to the conveniently located JGC this Sunday. Jakarta’s oldest course with some postage stamp sized greens and tight fairways offering an excellent challenge to the TeeSet golfers. Cheap beer, good food and easy to get to location make this a premier golfing opportunity. See you there. Google Maps has the entrance in the wrong spot last time, so check carefully by using the zoom function to locate the clubhouse.

The Championship 26 of November on a Sunday

Firstly I would like to thank our major sponsors here, San Miguel Beer, Hot Hed Oil Field Services, Asian Tigers and JS Luwansa. Without these major sponsors it would be hard to host such a great day. The committee is working hard to ensure there is a great day to be had. There will be pre-golf food and drinks, food and drinks on the course, food and lots of drinks after the game and music. So put the day in the diary, book Monday morning off work, and get ready to play and party in the best championship social golf has on the calendar. The course is Pondok Cabe, new locker rooms new towels and ample parking day or night.

See ya Sunday,

The President.
