Introduction
For those of us used to playing team sports, we know there is a bond which is built by competing together with team mates. It brings a special connection and a greater sense of achievement when the ecstasy of winning can be shared with others.
Tee Set’s participation in the Jakarta Inter-league therefore brings you the opportunity to experience that ecstasy again, or, if results don’t go our way, share a drink or 2 to discuss what may have been!. It is also a great way to meet other like minded golfers who play at other courses or with other societies and build new friendships along the way.
The Jakarta Inter-league is played each year, perhaps unsurprisingly, in a league format, with each team playing all the other teams on an approximately monthly basis from February or March until November with a 2 month break in July and August, coinciding with the time when many take their long family holidays.
Each team comprises 8 players with each match consisting of 2 singles and 3 Four Ball games in matchplay format. Scoring is 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw and SFA for a loss so there are 10 points available in match; all scores count towards the final league table which is based on total points won rather than individual match results. Obviously, the team with the most points at the end of the season gets to celebrate taking home the trophy and, as importantly, a year of bragging rights.
The Tee Set team will be selected based on an individual’s desire to play and enjoyment of match-play. There is a tendency to select those playing close to or on handicap – which handicap you are is irrelevant. There is a cap of a 28 handicap for playing in the league so any players with a higher handicap will be automatically cut to 28.
As almost all of the other teams also have a Tee Setter or 2 in their mix, the Sunday league is almost like a regular Tee Set gathering so there is for most part, no need to worry about missing your regular partners if you wish to participate. Just sign up 🙂
2021 Season
Sam Westen is leading the Tee Set team as Captain this season, ably assisted by the experienced calm hand of VP Ric Wymer. Please reach out to either of them on a Tee Set Sunday to let them know if you are keen to play. The season kicked off on Sunday 21st February 2021 with all the captains gathering for a team photo to mark the occasion. This year sees 2 new teams join with D.O.G.S. and JAWS fielding teams for the first time but with Sentul Swingers unable to participate this season we were left with a tricky conundrum of how to accommodate all the players each round with an odd number of teams. Fortunately a novel solution of mixed team matches each round was found and Tee Set’s schedule plus the latest league standings are posted below.

2020 Season
The 2020 season of JIL matches commenced on 8th March 2020 at Riverside ran in parallel to the regular Tee Set Sundays – the planned schedule was disrupted due to COVID-19 but thankfully we managed to final additional dates and complete the matches in good order. The schedule and results for the season are as below:
Congratulations to Captain Simon Reynolds and his team for a strong finish to the campaign which saw them finish 4th in the league table, only a couple of wins off 2nd place. Thank you to all the players who have turned out during the season and to those who put their hand up but didn’t manage to get a match.
If you are interested to represent Tee Set in JIL for next season (2021) please contact Simon directly on WhatsApp +6287882094706 or catch him at a Tee Set game and let him know.
Final Leagues Table after 5 rounds of 2020’s competition
Recent Past Results
Having won the league in 2015, Tee Set relinquished their crown in 2016 and were not as competitive as we would have liked the following couple of years. Despite winning the final scramble event in 2018, Tee Set had a difficult year and collected the wooden spoon.
Under the leadership of new Captain Simon Oxley, the 2019 season however started brightly with a win against the 2018 defending Champions, Tin Cups. A couple of narrow losses followed and so despite finishing strongly in the final 2 rounds, Tee Set had to be content with a 2nd place finish in the league as defending champions, Tin Cups, again proved to be too strong with convincing wins in their remaining matches to retain their crown.
The 2017 reports and final league standing is here.
