Our planned Easter scramble fell victim to no less than 13 call offs in the 24 hours before our scheduled game and so with 19 players making it to the first tee box, 2 involved in a matchplay, we decided to switch the format to our regular stableford game. A wonderful sunny day and hard, fast fairways greeted us and with all the arrangements going smoothly we were all round in quick time, showered and finished well before 5.30pm; leaving many who chose to stay to enjoy some refreshments over dinner as the sun went down.

In the matchplay, Simon Reynolds continued his fine form of the week-end to shoot gross 75 which got him over the line winning 4&3 over Hitoshi Maruyama and also to secure Low Gross on the day. Excellent rounds from Simon Oxley and Juju Juhaeriah scoring 40 and 42 points, respectively, and securing our runner-up spots. Both were pipped by Jane Finnie who put aside the disappointment of the monthly medal round being abandoned a couple of weeks ago to shoot another impressive round, earning her 44 points and the winners spot for the week. All scores on mygolf2u.

Next Up: Rancamaya

Tee Set, D.O.G.S. and JAWS Weekend 22-24th April

We need to finalise arrangements for the BBQ and with the course for both days – please sign up as soon as possible to confirm you are playing and on which days… details as previously posted below:

Next week-end, 22nd, 23rd and 24th April the 3 Societies are combining activities to make for a great week-end at Rancamaya, building on the excellent camaraderie and competition which has been built up over several years as Tee Set and D.O.G.S. play off on Sunday for the Juergen Degert Trophy.

The weekend begins Friday afternoon, approximately 12pm tee off with the regular JAWS game and please sign up to JAWS on mygolf2u to register. After the round and in the clubhouse, there will be the usual prize giving and refreshments post round together with an opportunity to taste a variety of whiskies, rums, gin and other spirits.. all for a very modest donation to the charity pot for the week-end which is going like last year to the Fiona Unity Foundation.

Saturday is the main charity day and the competition format will be 2-person scramble with men playing from the white tees; Tee off around 12pm shot gun start. Your competition fee of Rp200k will be going to the charity and will get you a super mulligan (1 drive/1 fairway/1 putt) and 3 raffle tickets for the lucky draw to be held at the BBQ after the game. Additional mulligans, Rp50k each or Rp100k with 3 more raffle tickets are available for players to buy and raffle tickets will be on sale by themselves for players and non-players alike. Please sign up for the scramble on mygolf2u (Charity scramble under D.O.G.S. for 23rd April) and please advise Roger Finnie (08113891350) on your scramble partner so we can prepare the pairings accordingly.

Saturday evening is the traditional BBQ, Rp350k a head and partners and spouses welcome. We have some generous sponsorship from Anker Beer, Kojo and others which will supplement the BBQ fare and oil the evening. As always you are welcome to bring a special bottle or 2 as well. Start time around 6.30pm and we will do the prize giving and raffle draw during the evening – wine, whisky, green fee vouchers and several other prizes have been generously donated for the lucky draw and all proceeds of the day will go to the charity pot. Please let Roger Finnie (08113891350) know that you are coming to the bbq and if you are bringing a non-golfer along with you so we can cater for the correct numbers.

Sunday is the regular D.O.G.S. day with the big dog on the line so Tee Set is joining the day to keep prize giving simple at the end – all registrations and pairings will be managed by Rod Williams and please register in mygolf2u. Tee off at 12pm shot gun start. To help those suffering from the night before, Meadow and Bone are organising a breakfast roll and tasting at hole 4 and other thanks and appreciation to them for the support. In parallel to the normal round, Tee Set Captain Tom Grace will be looking for 24 sharp shooters to take on the best that Doug McQuater can muster from the D.O.G.S. contingent there on the day as they battle for bragging rights for another year and the Juergen Degert Trophy. Please let Tom know if you are keen, willing and available. Golf on Saturday and Sunday is Rp950k a round.

Lastly, please look on the DOGS website for arrangements for the R Hotel if you want to book a room for one of the evenings or even the full week-end. Knowing that several players prefer to make their own arrangements we are leaving it up to players to contact the hotel, other another establishment of their choosing, directly.

Sunday 17th April at Cengkareng Golf Club

With the Easter weekend upon us, and several players taking advantage of the holiday week-end to get some extra rounds in, we decided to make Sunday a 2-person scramble event with partners being blind drawn before the round. Sign up to enjoy all the fun on mygolf2u… even if you don’t want to join the organised game – completing match play for instance – still sign and just let Roger Finnie know ahead of time so as to arrange a suitable pairing.

ANKER MATCH PLAY: 2022

THIS WEEK games were completed;

Geoff Thwaites prevails over David Prosser 5 &3 in a high scoring game .

Cucu Chandra wins on forfeit from Craig Edwards

Vijay Sarashetti prevails over Sami Kekonen 3&1

Roger Finnie prevails over Diarmuid Flanagan 4&3

HIGHLIGHTS: 😃 😃

Rainbow turned on a beautiful well managed event on a spectacular course, Mountain and Stone. Some very high scores were carded with several in the 40’s. With the slow down in traffic during the fasting month, we had an easy ride to and from the course as well as very few people playing made for some very fast games. All topped of with great food and cold beer. Someone with an eye for the beautiful things in life posted a photo of a beautiful sunset in tranquil setting.

DOGS DINNER: Don’t forget to book your hotel room. 22, 23 & 24 April

BANDUNG BASH: The excitement is growing and the stories of past events mixed with the enthusiastic assembly of food, drinks, prizes and not to forget the FANCY DRESS COSTUMES for Saturday night. (theme is Old Traditional Indonesian) . There are several spots left if you want a last minute registration on mygolf2u. “bandungbash.com” for more info

Thank you all for coming and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Best regards

Geoff

NEXT WEEK: Rainbow Hills Tee Time 12 noon Rp950k game No. 2034

RESULTS for Bogor Raya.

PHOTO GALLERY:

Winner Geoff Thwaites with 41 points and 84 off the stick, Holger Molendyk second with 38 points followed by Richard Mau with 36 points. Not a bad effort considering it rained all day.

Low gross went to Roger Finnie on a count back from Simon Reynolds both with 82 strokes. The Bogor Raya Golf Club put on free beer and snacks for everyone “thank you” 🙏🏻

ANKER MATCH PLAY 2022:

There were two match play games played today with the following results;

Roger over Diarmuid 4&3.

Craig and Cucu all-square over 18 holes after a rain soaked see-saw battle. Darkness prevented any tie-breaking holes.

Mark Johnson over Reysia Moore 1up. played Saturday Rancamaya

The graphic update will follow.

HIGHLIGHTS:😃😃

Perseverance paid off for players who waited out the Bogor inclement interlude. Finishes were in fading, but nevertheless playable, light.

Richard Mau’s sandals were stolen but after shooting 77 he said the sacrifice was worth it.

With the President’s gross only 6 strokes off his age, Tee Set is considering adding a new statistic to myGolf2u. As a reference a couple of other golfers in their 8th decade managed 24 and 27 off their ages.

I want to thank Bogor Raya and in particular Ms Cindy for their great organisation and tolerance in getting us away on a 4 hole mini shotgun start. It is not the fault of BR that it rained in the dry season but they were very graceful in providing everyone with free beer and snacks as a compensation as well as cash back and vouchers for some of those that finished before 9 holes.

LOWLIGHTS: 😡

Unfortunately there were two incidents that gave Tee Set a bad image.

The first was a poor choice of words in claiming a rain check. Even if you are correct you should always remain respectful. In this case only a few minutes was needed to resolved in our members favour, if he had waited.

The second was an incident at the marshalling area where our perennial winger made unnecessary comments about the Flights and Tee Boxes. The committee are there to help and we don’t need to hear grizzling at every encounter. Furthermore, the good name of Tee Set is much more important than any individual. This can be seen in the incident that occurred many years ago at Emeralda where one persons indiscretion has had us banned from Emeralda until today. So please remember that we are guests at our golf courses and if we want them to give us preferential rates etc. then we need to show respect.

If you are unable to control yourself then we respectfully request that you find another group to play with.

DOGS DINNER:

A further reminder about this great weekend at Rancamaya

Friday, April 22: JAWS golf day and evening dinner at the clubhouse.

Tee Set found the going a bit tough against JAWS and wet down 8/2 . If you can make head or tail of the score board I have provided a snapshot.

HIGHLIGHTS:

The lights were out so we couldn’t see the highlights. Just kidding! We miss Tom with his editorial skills and ability to find a story and make a great and interesting essay.

A survey of players shows that the majority would prefer to play from the BLUE tee box, so that’s what we did this week.

It is not clear how or why the game was setup for stroke play rather than Stableford. However it all worked out great.

Next Sunday is a Regular game at Imperial, stableford, White tee Box but if you want to play Blue you may but setup your mygolf2u for the tee box to be played.

RESULTS for 6 March 2022

SIGNING OF TEE SET CONSTITUTION

HIGHLIGHTS:

There was sad news that our First Lady of Tee Set had a bereavement in that her mother passed away so Cucu and Tom were not able to join us today.

37 players turned out on a wet course that had at lease one (the usual one) complained that his ball got lost on the fairway.

The course management did a great job by providing us a semi shotgun start at 12:30. There were still some slow traffic from the morning groups that waited out one of the early rain squalls but we all made it in in under 5 hours.

There was a hitch in the mygolf2u software in that we were unable to reallocate four players even they were registered. We will investigate and make what ever corrections are needed. However everyone got allocated in most flight and scores were all entered.

The highlight of the day was of course the signing of the Constitution. This is an historic event and puts Tee Set on a clear and transparent path into the future. Thank you to all those who contributed and made it possible.

BANDUNG BASH:

If you haven’t received an invitation and would like to join this great event please contact Adhe our Admin. or leave a message at the bottom of this page.
