The Jakarta golf societies were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Gary last Friday. Gary was an active member of TeeSet, POCKSIA and DOGS and was often sneaking in a mid week round when his schedule allowed.

Gary appeared on our golfing radar post covid, and was often paired with colleague Andy Cross and his son Carter. Soon Gary was involved with different flights and his pleasant easy going manner made his company a pleasure both on and off the golf course. He was always comfortable with whoever he was paired with. Gary was a bright light in the after golf warm downs and loved the game for what it offers, a challenge and an opportunity to enjoy the company of others.

The stunned state that this has left his friends in is only, slowly, starting to wear off. I chose not to post a photo of him as my last memory of him was his farewell at the monthly medal. It was his usual warm farewell and smiling face and this is how I wish to remember our friend Gary.

There will be a wake to celebrate Gary’s life tomorrow at The Bull and Vine from 7pm onwards. We hope to see many golfers there remembering the good times we had on and off the course with Gary.

JGC Jambalaya Round

Over the years we golfers have played in many different formats, stroke play, Stableford, Ambrose, Matchplay etc. Last Sunday we had the delight in playing a Jambalaya Scramble. Never has a game of golf involved so much fun. One minute you are wishing your partner nails the chip, next minute you are smugly smiling as the same person slices their tee shot into the trees. Rotate the love they say as they Jambalaya along. In perfect conditions we teed off and the Jambalaya was a way. The day stayed nice but a fair breeze picked up taking the sting out of the day. The course was in great conditions and the 2 ball scramble kept the trees out of play, most of the time.

Paul pips his new best mate Michel by 0.5 with a nett 65, with James in 3rd place with a 69. Some pretty good scores happen when we get down and Jambalaya. This will definitely be a repeated format. Glorious fun to say the least.

Wooshing to Parahyangan Sunday 10th August

20 of TeeSet’s trainsetters are whooshing down to Parahyangan this Sunday to play the finest course in the country. You can still join us either by making your own Woosh bookings or making your own way there. We have a few that are taking more outdated modes of transportation to the course which is fine. If you want to join please sign up on MyGolf2U. Best course in the country and we are playing it at a better rate than what you can get at Modern on a Sunday.

Hari Merdeka Jagorawi Z9 course

Come and join the fun as we play red and white golf to celebrate our country’s independence. 9 off the whites then 9 off the reds. More fun than climbing a greasy pole. Sign up on MyGolf2U and add your name to the list found on the TeeSet Whatsapp. If you don’t have a partner we will find you one.
