Glorious weather greeted the 40 Teesetters who made the trip to BSD. The rainy season has been hanging around for a little bit longer than usual but Gading is a bit outside the mid afternoon rain band, so we golfed happily on. Happy was the word as we had 19 of the 40 golfers getting 36 or better Stableford points. We had Fernando burning up the course at 2 under after 12 holes and we had Craig Kecil quietly weeping on his caddy’s shoulder as Fernando pulled his pants down in match play. Lesson to be learned here don’t play match play against someone who is a member at the course. As Craig fairly said Fernando was playing out of his skin. Fernando has opened a house for distressed golfers. It is known as Big Daddy’s House. So if your coming of the course with you head hanging low and someone asks who’s your daddy its Fernando. (bastard)

We had a bunch of new members which is always great to see as it brings new enthusiasm to the club. Make sure you give these new members a warm welcome.

Welcome Nesha

Great first round to new member Sunny

Welcome to the TeeSet crew Stu

Jim making sure he gets in the frame for the new member shot

It’s been a while between drinks but Geary is back playing TeeSet again.

Now Mister Mister was not on the course last Sunday due to business commitments in KL, which included missing a flight home. So I cannot really comment on the state of play but what I do know is that TeeSet mastered Gading Raya and besides the usual getting stuck behind a flight from nowhere as you move to your back nine the pace was good and the greens rolled true. The first time in a while when golfers have been complimentary of the greens. We await the clubs to put some effort into getting greens back to what they once were.

Let’s get to the winners

Roberto had an enjoyable stroll around Gading picking up 47 Stableford points along the way. Well done champ.

Axel played out of his skin with a gross 67( according to the on course reporter). Definitely the score of the 2025 season.

Richard picks up first birdie #2 and Sandy #6

Bill takes low putts with 26 and best MC

Gading Raya a golf friendly venue and within easy striking distance of Jakarta. TeeSet will be back.

World Cup of Golf 8th of June Riverside

We have a full house of 33 teams. A record turn out. This annual competition grows in popularity every year. I think we may have just hit capacity.

With such a large number of players it is important that you arrive at the course in plenty of time. We need to get your bags onto the correct buggy and allocate a caddy. Arriving 10 minutes before tee time makes this impossible, so tomorrow be there by 11.30 to ensure a smooth start.

Being there at 11.30 also enables you and your team to promenade around the clubhouse in your Team Outfit increasing your chances of best dressed. Also it gives you time to drive to your designated starting hole. DON’T BE LATE.

There will be beer and sausages on the course. Don’t be greedy, other golfers need feeding and watering also. Thanks to San Miguel for the beer sponsorship and Mr Briggs’ Sausages. (if you like the sausages the butcher will be on course to take orders)

It will be a shotgun start off 18 holes. With a large amount of players make sure you are ready to go when the siren sounds at 12.30. That means ball on tee not last minute photos and glove searches.

Scoring, the team captain will do the scoring for everyone. All scores to be entered. The best 3 scores on each hole count towards victory. After 6 holes take a photo of the scores and Whatsapp to Adhe, here number will be on the team scorecard. Repeat this exercise after 12 holes are completed. On completion of round return the scorecard to Adhe before you shower.

Speed of play is paramount tomorrow. We are all playing to win but you need to realise there is a big group of golfers and one slow group will ruin it for everyone. If you cannot see the group in front of you you are playing too slow, pick up the pace. If you have hit a ball into the bushes 2 minutes is long enough to search for it. You get 5 minutes if duck diving in a pond. KEEP MOVING, BE READY TO PLAY YOUR SHOT OR PUTT AS SOON AS IT IS YOUR TURN.

Prize giving and skill prizes straight after the round then Bull & Vine have a special offer to continue back at the pub. Monday is a holiday for many make the most of it and socialise with your TeeSet buddies

REMEMBER DON’T TAKE ALL DAY PLAYING A SHOT.

See you at the course
