Next Round – Jagorawi New Course or Pangkalanjati, Sunday 17th March

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Tee Set

Golf sucksIt’s that time again with Peter Reichlmeier leading his boys and girls into battle in the first round of the year’s Interleague at Jagorawi. As usual the Interleague will be a semi-shotgun start at 9:30 –  if you are playing in the team then you should probably know by now.

If you are not in the Interleague team for Sunday then you have two choices, also playing at Jagorawi after the Interleague kicks off and starting at aroud 10:00, when green fees etc are 1 million roops including cart, or joining a group playing at the rather more prosaic Pangkalanjati where tee off will be at 11:30 with Green Fees of  475,000 roops with cart – or 400,000 walking.

If you intend playing at Jagorawi then please fill in the usual form at “Yes, I’m playing!” or, if intending to play Pangkalajati, then drop Keith Miller an e-mail here, so that we can get a better handle on numbers.

The following week sees the long-awaited annual Bandung Bash at the fabulous Giri Gahana Course to the east of Bandung – where we can tell you the staff are already getting excited about the return of the crazy gang of Bules for their entertainment once again.

A reminder that the Friday Giri Gahana round, for those joining it, will tee off at 13:00 to give you plenty of time to get there from Macet Central in Jakarta. You should allow a minimum of three hours for the journey – but you may be pleasantly suprised and have plenty of time for coffee and a snack on the hotel resturant terrace and take in the amazing panorama.

We have not forgotten those who are not travelling to Bandung and who would wish to play on Sunday 31st March. We have booked 4 Flights for Matoa on that day but, with the Committee and Secretary galavanting in Bandung, we need someone to lead the group that day. Responsibilities are light and unpaid but generally enjoyable so, please drop Geoff Thwaites a line if you would like to volunteer, it truly would be much appreciated.

A few first round match play results to report:

Guy Young conceded to Wina Nugraha

Ignatius Woo conceded to Fernando Gaggino

Graham Stallworthy beat Paul Evert 6 and 5

Chris Smith beat Geoff Thwaites 6 and 5

Cucu beat Evaldo Roos 1 up

Well done winners, your reward is a place in the stronger “Emas” Bracket, while the losers/conceders move to the “Kuningan bracket”. The structure of the brackets will be available next week.

Finally, wherever you play this weekend, have fun and enjoy your golf!!

PS Best of luck to the Tee Set Interleaguers on Sunday – no pressure, but it’s time to punch our weight in that competition, guys and gals 🙂

Pondok Cabe, 10th March 2013

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Tee Set

Sunday had us back at Pondok Cabe once again with a very impressive total of 40 players getting away on time from two tee boxes on a course in good condition and with the greens playing much faster than they looked, to the embarrassment of some.

The now traditional pre-game Presidential jugs of beer got many off to a jovial start – though all participants, as required by Tee Set’s only bye-law, were able to stand unassisted when teeing off from the first teebox.

WELCOME BACKS

Welcome Backs actually out-numbered regulars this week, so too many to mention all but, notably, our Pawang Hujan, Graham McGeady, returned safely from India where he didn’t lose his balls, mainly because he didn’t play. Graham did however bring some threatening clouds with him on his return, though his powers were sufficient to ensure another glorious, near perfect day weather-wise.

old fartsAlso great to see long time past President, Clyde Wickiser, amongst us again and clearly enjoying his golf; we hope to see  you more often, Clyde.

Clyde is in green above in a photo rather unkindly labelled “Old Farts” by our immediate past President.

NEW MEMBERS

We were also delighted to welcome four new members this week, the most for a while; great to have you with us Ramon, Joe Amantoi, Renny Sperry and Andre Wondermuelen (hope we got the spelling right) – enjoy your golf with Tee Set, guys.

RESULTS

Graham low nettCongratulations to Graham Stallworthy getting low gross with a fine 41/39/80 and of course to Tom Alcedo for proving that there is still plenty of life in the old dog by carding a tremendous low nett of 67 – well done, Tom!!

Tom has also dropped the price of that fine piece of solid teak shoe and purse cupboard for the Lady in your life to 2 million roops, so don’t miss it.

Ivan Byriel’s success rate at snagging first par for the over 30 handicappers is of course a tribute to his handicap management skills more than anything, while Mel Cantarella’s  happiness at avoiding a Desmond for once was to be somewhat tempered by finding himself “winning” Monster Putter.

???????????????????????????????The loudest and longest expletive of the day was heard coming from Raymond Leong, who found himself the only Tee Setter to fail to pass the Ladies Tee all day – and of course get himself one of Tee Set’s world-famous Desmonds.

Lack of role clarity in the committee (erm, Ric) meant the Tutu had been left behind in Ric’s garage however, and Raymond was to be pictured instead with a plant pot – for reasons that quite escape your correspondent.

Evaldo Roos once again won Longest Drive, this time with 251 meters on the 18th while Cameron Fischer took Nearest to the Pin at 4.7 metres.

BANDUNG BASH

We now have an astonishing 34 players registered for the 5th Bandung Bash – a record.

To avoid surpises, Ibu Endang will be sending an estimated bill in the next few days to all participants, covering room, breakfast, green fees, caddy and buggy. This plus any other charges you might incur should be paid immediately prior to departure.

A usually reliable little bird tells us, following the Romangos joining up today, that there may be just one room still available at the course hotel, so drop Ibu Endang a line if you would like to join in a great weekend of golfing fun at the Bandung Bash.

SAIGON

A significant number of Tee Setters played during the week, both day and night, in Saigon,Vietnam; Ric, Geoff, Igi, Mike, Robert, Bill, Vigo, Craig, ED Snr. By all accounts, everyone scored well and agreed it had been a fantastic trip.

Your President was particularly pleased to have to pay his own airfare and travel in a 737; the last time he made the trip to Vietnam was nearly fifty years ago, at Government expense and in a Hercules transport.

MATCHPLAY

Jesse Baker is doing a fine job of organising our Tee Set Match Play competition for 2013 –  and there were three contests fought out on Sunday to go with one that managed to get finished in the rain-soaked fun of the previous week at Palm Hill.

So we are making good early progress, though we all know what can happen later 😦

Congrats to the Matchplay winners and commiserations to the losers, though of course being the first round means that nobody is actually out of the event so far.

Results will be published as and when they become available; please remember to promptly send results and any commentary to Jesse.

All who signed up for the Matchplay should have recevied an e-mail reminder this week setting out the rules of the competition, the first round draw and contact details for all particiapnts. Let Jesse know if you didn’t get it.

NEXT WEEK

  1. MAIN EVENT  JAGOWARI  in conjunction with INTER LEAGUE.
  2. ALTERNATE AT Pangkalanjati

If you confirm your attendance online this week then you will be registered for JAGOWARI.

Last month the committee decided to support play at an alternate location whenever we play Interleague so, if you prefer to play Pangkalanjati (3 flights have been booked for 11:30), then please advise Keith by email.

Thank you all for making Tee Set the most recognized golf society in Jakarta. It’s all about the fun mixed in with a bit of golf.

Best regards – and hope to see you Sunday!

Next Round – Pondok Cabe, Sunday 17th March @11:30

Posted on March 14, 2013 by Tee Set

planeAs recently as two years ago Pondok Cabe was a distinctly 3rd class Jakarta golfing venue, however, with some well-directed hard work on the greens and fairways by the management and ground staff, a relatively switched on Starter, the expansion of the cart fleet from 2 (?) to 30 and a start being made to putting proper cart paths throughout the course things have been turned around.

Add to all that the sort of green fees and bar prices that can only happen on a course owned by a National Oil company and it has become a venue well worth visiting – and the place now a firm fixture on the Tee Set Schedule.

We will start from tee boxes 1 and 10 on Sunday at 11:30 and, with the rainy season apparently in its death throes and our Pawang Hujan returned from his overseas follies, all is looking good for an excellent day.

Handicaps have been updated for the day and can be found here.

As ever please let us know if you intend playing by completing the “Yes, I’m playing” form.

Our classifieds section has got off to a good start and only a couple of items remain so if you have anything to get rid of then let us know.

Finally, please check your clubs if you played at Palm Hill last Sunday to see if you recognise them; if you don’t then it is likely that the ones you have belong to Dave Baglivo who will be happy to swap them back as soon as possible.

See ya Sunday!

PS In case you were wondering, the photo above is of a light training plane that crashed on the course a year or three ago but – with no training flights scheduled and with Geoff “Biggles” Thwaites also out of country – we should only be at risk from the usual shanks and duck hooks on Sunday.

Palm Hill, 10th March 2013

Posted on March 10, 2013 by Tee Set

Palm Hill rain2In truth, Tee Set has had a most remarkable run this rainy season with, until today, not a single round lost to the rain and few enough rain delays. At least in part we should be grateful to our Pawang Hujan, Graham McGeady, for his sterling efforts; the mutterings about getting a new Pawang Hujan heard after today’s round are surely premature, especially as he was having to project his influence from over three thousand miles away in India.

Great turnout for the attractive Palm Hill course, undoubtedly the highest ever at 45 Tee Setters, however of those who started just 12 lucky and determined golfers managed to finish a very rain delayed round as darkness began to fall some six and a half hours after teeing off. Some confusion over whether tee off was 11:30 or 12:00 but the Starter made us all happy by getting us away at 11:15 thanks to a great job by VP Peter Reichelmeier putting flights together for those 45 players in just 10 minutes!!

Another plus was that the green fees etc were 508,000 roops rather than the 588,000 advertised, a saving of more than two much needed beers at Palm Hill’s attractive tariff rates 🙂

For the hard of hearing, the eye candy is on the right ….

A warm welcome back  to Steve Harper after 4 years away from Jakarta while Tim Davis was also a notable returnee and indeed Marshall Jones after being laid up for a while. All in all there were 19 welcome back players, so too many to mention all, however, a big Tee Set welcome to Charles Kidd and Dan Boyd on their first rounds with us; we hope they will not be discouraged by the rain – it’s not often like that, guys!!

In fact everybody managed to get in at least 9 holes in glorious sunshine before the heavens opened up when, with the greens flooded, it looked like it was all over for the day – but with the availability of cheap beer and plenty of eye candy in the club house, the 12 diehards sat out the storm. Rather inevitably the beer took its toll on the standard of golf but nevertheless, for those who did, it was well worth the wait just to get back out there and enjoy the sunset and accompanying scenery. With Mount Salak as the backdrop, the course was truly majestic in its beauty late on.

Despite the rain restricted level of activity, your committee managed to award most of the prizes, though rather later than is the norm. Particular noteworthy was a 96 by Johannes Pesch allowing him to take low net with 72, while Paul Evison must consider himself rather unlucky to have won Monster Putter with a regulation 36 putts, though can take some consolation in the hour being so late that there is no photographic evidence of him pictured with the dreaded monkey!!

Palm Hill Prize Summary

Palm Hill Detailed results

Detailed results, looking really rather bare due to the 33 incomplete rounds can be seen by clicking on the graphic you see to the right. Plenty of skirts to report and most were paid up. Norman Bunter, Paul Evison, Calvin Arneson, Ed Tarog, Shane Rowles and Marshall Jones. After coming up dry two weeks in a row, a smile finally returned to our treasurer’s recently troubled visage.

So, well done to those who saw it through to the less than bitter end – and commiserations to the rest of us, not least your webmaster who came rather inadequately equipped with neither umbrella nor rain jacket and resembled nothing so much as a drowned rat by the time he gave up in despair at the 13th after having suffered a second complete head to foot soaking – “it was the sound of squelching in my golf shoes as I walked that finally convinced me to come off” he told us.

Finally, next Sunday’s round will be at the much improved Pondok Cabe course when green fees etc will be a bargain 400,000 roops including cart – or 325,000 walking with an 11:30 first tee time from tee boxes 1 and 10. And it will NOT rain on our parade; or we really will be looking for a new Pawang Hujan! Sign up for Pondok Cabe when you are ready to commit.

???????????????????????????????

the rainy season’s last fling? – let’s hope so

Next Round – Palm Hill, Sunday 10th March @11:30

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Tee Set

palm_hill_country_clubOn Sunday we return once again to the very attractive Palm Hill course off the Jagorawi Tol for our second visit of the year. Your committee has once again managed to obtain an equally attractive rate of Rp.588,000 for this fine course, including shared cart. We will tee off from 1 and 10 at 11:30. Handicaps for Palm Hill can be found here.

To give us a solid idea on numbers and thereby ensure smooth and meaningful negotiations with the Palm Hill starter, kindly complete the “Yes, I am playing” form if you intend joining on Sunday.

Your selfless committee spent several hours at Star Deli in Kemang last evening drinking far too much and flirting with the barmaids ensuring that the 2013 Tee Set Matchplay was well under control and the 1st round draw properly and fairly made.

The draw has thrown up a number of interesting face-offs for the first round including Joseph Peries against immediate past President Ric Wymer which, with Ric’s game coming back on song and a healthy handicap advantage, should be a close one while last year’s winner, David Baglivo, will be fully tested by Aussie iron man, Graham McGeady, assuming the latter has recovered from an exclusive month-long diet of curry, rice and chipati following his return from Rajasthan.

Here is the full draw, any complaints and/or brown envelopes to Jesse Baker.

Match Play Draw

The first round does of course do no more than set up the two conferences for further play, the first round winners going into the “Emas” or Gold Conference and the “Kuningan” or Brass Conference. After that things proceed to the knockout stages.

Matchplay can now take place at any time from now, including this Sunday at Palm Hill if both adversaries can agree it in time! And, repeating our annual plea, PLEASE get your games played in a timely manner – Jesse has threatened to be very tough with stragglers without a really good excuse this year.

Your committee also went on to discuss initial planning for the 2013 Tee Set Championship and a very special extra event in the near future. It would be wise to expect the unexpected.

SPE

One of the great highlights of the Jakarta golf year is of course the SPE event held at Jagorawi with play this time, such are the numbers, being on both the Old and New courses. The tournament is to Jakarta Golf as Ascot and the Derby is to the English racing season, top class and not a cheap skate affair!!

As you will see from the flyer, registration for non-SPE members starts on Monday 11th March; if you are interested then you should not delay as places are usually filled within a day of two of registration being opened.

Hope to see ya Sunday …..

JABABEKA, 3rd March 2013

Posted on March 3, 2013 by Tee Set

Sunday saw us at JABABEKA for the first time this year with an easy drive from Kemang taking just 50 minutes and with, for once, nobody in the group owning up to missing the turn off.

The course itself was singificantly overbooked, which is what might hardly be described as newsworthy for JABABEKA, so our 27 players stoically battled their way around the course in a marathon five and a half hours. One group got caught in very heavy traffic, however, taking over 3 hours to complete the first nine when they made a decision to “scoot”.

The rest finished with no significant complaints about the course, however the greens were surprisingly fast and caught some out on the first few holes. James Ross was able to read the first green perfectly, however, and after a great escape from a bunker carded the first “sandy”. Richard Newcombe made a great up and down on the same hole later and was probably in the very same bunker as James.

Other than only having one tee box for 7 groups, which is not what we expected or paid for, other aspects were better with the beer being very reasonably priced at 35,000 roops a can and management put on a very acceptable buffet meal after the game, while the Great Tee Set Escape (Category – Weather) was to happen yet again. No delays, although Koen and Johannes sat out a passing electrical storm for fear on being fried in their backswings.

To the visible anguish of our Treasurer, no skirt fines were paid for the second week in succession although Peter Boyd may want to put the record straight on this being strictly correct!

CucuCucu started the day by dropping a full and outsized cup of iced coffee onto the carpet in the pro shop. Should do this every week as she then went on to overperform by scoring 4 pars and taking low nett with 66. Another notable was Richard Newcombe trying to out class the caddies by wearing purple.

Full marks to the management with their new caddy uniform of tight purple tops and white curve hugging Lycra slacks. I doubt the girls parents would approve . Richard refuses to wear the slacks.

A big welcome back to Frank Musgrove who we haven’t seen for some while, though Norman Bunter must surely take the all-time welcome back record as his last round with Tee Set was back in 1999!!!

Longest Drive went to Evaldo Roos with 254m

Nearest to the Pin won by Chris Murchinson with 87cm.

Low Gross to Craig Binks on a count back with 88.

Next Round – JABABEKA, Sunday 3rd March @12:00 noon

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Tee Set

jababekaNext up is the smart and (relatively) “Tee Set friendly” JABABEKA course out on the eastern flatlands off the Cikampek toll road; have a look here for some help from Google maps if needed.

Remember to keep left on the toll at KP28 to enable access to the Cikarang exit; you will not believe how important this is until you miss it.

The course is as far away as we ever get from Java’s “rain central” in Bogor so, with some remote assistance from Tee Set’s own Pawang Hujan, we have hight hopes of avoiding the rain once again.

Cost: 800,000 for green fees, caddy fee, shared cart and light meal(excludes caddy tip)

1st Tee off: 12:00 (CHANGE)

Handicaps for JABABEKA have been updated and can be found here.

Matoa Monthly Medal, 24th February 2013

Posted on February 24, 2013 by Tee Set

Mel as MotherThe day’s fun at Matoa for the inaugural monthly medal got off to a great start courtesy of Mike Garwood who, with perhaps just a little help from his “koki”, provided us with a fine brew of hot chili beans ‘n beef that went down extremely well and, washed down with a few jugs of ice cold Bintang courtesy of President Thwaites, saw the many who participated off to a turbo charged start.

MustafaWith a remarkable 45 joining in our first monthly medal, competition was fierce with honours eventually going to the wily Mustafa Baabad with 40 Stableford points; Mustafa thereby taking bragging rights until the March event, a tray of meat donated by Slaney’s Butchery and a bottle of Gentleman Jack.

Mustafa, God bless him was, immediately and very generously, to donate the bottle of Gentleman Jack back to the troops who polished it off in just one circuit of the table. If ever there was any doubt, then this was proof positive that Tee Set has thirsty troops.

The course was wet and not terribly conducive to the use of carts and it was to turn into something rather more like a motor cross scramble than anything else. In truth, however, the course played remarkably well otherwise, and this despite the rivers of rainwater on the fairways after the 4th hole for a while.

Our Pawang Hujan‘s absence in India has clearly had an effect on his concentration but, apparently, after a consultation with his Indian Naga Sadhus, he managed to restore some of his reputation as play continued in perfect conditions after a couple more holes.

The 9th green was playing a little fast for some, so Tee Set secretary Tuti decided to slow it down a bit by walking the full length of the green in her high heel shoes. They won’t need to core the green for at least a month.

A short delay occurred in working out the scores at the end of play due to cards being nearly unreadable when filled with the results of four players. So, for future Stableford events, there will be a maximum of two players on any one card!

No skirt fines on the day was a rare event and not one the Tee Set treasurer would wish to see repeated. Mel Cantarella, where were you?

AbeNo monster putter this week but nevertheless our little monkey mascot inexplicably  jumped on Abe Borden’s back for having just 11 Stableford points for the round.

Joseph Peries failed to win low gross for the first time this year but that may be because we didn’t have the prize to win. Instead, he won first birdie on hole #1 played. Well done, him.

Detailed resultsCheck out the detailed results by clicking on the graphic you see to the right.

Welcome to new players Ben Kidd, Bruce Hector, Phil Miller, Mike Webb and Mark Forward; we hope you enjoy all your golf with Tee Set!

EVENTS:

BANDUNG BASH at Giri Gahana 29 to 31 March.

Next Round – Matoa, Sunday 24th February

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Tee Set

GJAfter a bit of a practice at the Stableford format last month, we now look forward to the first Tee Set Monthly Medal in earnest next Sunday at Matoa. Yep, Matoa, if someone (like, erm, us) told you Pondok Cabe then ignore them, they don’t know what they’re talking about!

There will be a bottle of Gentlemen Jack whiskey donated by Peter Reichlmeier for the runner up while the everlasting glory of being the first ever winner will also take home a very fine and generously sized meat platter kindly donated by Slaney’s Butchery of Jakarta.

steakAll the usual prizes and, erm, penalties will also be on offer, so remember to putt out as usual, despite the Stableford element to the day 🙂

Tee off will start at 11:28 from both  the 1st and 10th tees, when charges will be Rp.650,000 with shared cart – and Rp.510,000 walking.

If you plan on coming then, please, let us know here so that we have a good idea on likely numbers when engaging in our weekly battle with the Starter. Hope to see you there for a memorable day.

PS thanks to Ric Wymer for bringing this outstanding example of the focus and dedication that even your average club golfer can bring to his or her game.

Jagorawi New Course, 17th February 2013

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Tee Set

NEXT SUNDAY: Tee Set’s 1st Monthly Medal at MATOA!!!

(Full details on Thursday)

JAGORAWI New Course played from the white tee boxes (equialent to blue everywhere else in Jakarta) and using the TWO MAN SCRAMBLE format turned out to be a fun day. The format when coupled with a very imaginative handicapping formulae actually ensured a level playing field for most of the teams.

The course despite a lot of recent rain was in great nick although the greens did resemble a motocross track in places. The management has promised to lift their game on this one negative point.

Nice to finally have some pretty female caddies to choose from after what seemed a life time of putting up with cranky male caddies at Jags.

Tee Set fielded 18 players (9 two-man teams) and I am pleased to announce that one of our teams won the overall low net competition with a score of 65.5. Great work by Evaldo Roos and Yohannes Pesch. Second place but closely contested was Mick Kilfoyle and Michael Noyse with a net 66.6. Mike Garwood took closest to the pin for the A grade player so it was almost a clean sweep for Tee Set.

So, is this perhaps a sign of better things to come for Tee Set in 2013? Wooden spooners last year but Interleague captain Peter Reichlmeier has been busy scouting Blok M for new blood (and capable golfers) so the old guard will have to pick up their games to be eligible for team selection this year. The real Interleague match play comp will commence next month. Remember that Tee Set will continue to host its normal Stroke Play event commencing immediately after the Interleague shot gun start at 09:30.

Very little rain experienced on the day so our regular Pawan Hujan once again did an outstanding job although not playing on the day. It was dually noted that beer purchased wholesale for less than Rp10,000 a glass was sold for Rp50,000. A bit tough on the regular Tee Set drinkers, Edwin!!!

Tom Grace arrived late after missing the toll exit for Jags. Bet he’ll never make that same mistake again. On the plus side he finally took home his bottle of Black Label won during last year’s championship event.

Yohannes took home a bottle of wine donated by Geoff T and Mick/Michael grabbed a bottle each from Tee Set. Evaldo the remaining winner will get his bottle next week if he shows up.

UP COMING EVENTS:

BANDUNG BASH

Giri Gahana 29 to 31 March, 1st April. We have booked all the rooms at the hotel so no need to worry about screaming kids at breakfast; unless you bring your own. Cut off date for booking a slot at Bandung is 28th Feb.
