GENERAL:

The first novelty event of this year was an overwhelming success, with 25 players taking up the challenge of having only 4 clubs in the bag. Before tee off it was generally accepted that there would be a disadvantage of 20% (about 3 strokes depending on HC) by not having access to a full set of clubs. Well, today proved that wrong. The best net points was 40 which is 4 under HC, 13 players came in with better than 30 points. This result is better that all previous weeks this year. 

The comments received were that it focused the player on course management and strategic use of the 4 clubs. This event proved to be a  great training exercise and is recommended to be a continuing feature of Tee Set.

HIGHLIGHTS: (from our roving reporter Tom)

Highlights, such as they are or might have been:

1. Some remarkable gross scores carded at Pondok Cabe. If your stroke score’s first number was 8 and your club count was 4 then y’all did exceptionally well. Kudos to The Albatross Man for leading the charge.

2. Lessons learned (as mentioned by more than one Tee Setter): a) Maybe I don’t need a full bag of clubs!! b) Man, I get good with my 8-iron when I use it way more often than normal!

3. Haven’t checked all the cards but some Superman/Clark Kent guy shot 41-57. Anybody beat that for consistency? Hoo-ha!! 🤫

SERIOUS: FYI

The Draft Constitution and SOP for Tee Set has been submitted to the committee for review. . This document will provide clarity, consistency and certainty into the future.

Once it is considered ready for general comment it will be posted for comment by Members. Final version will then be put to the vote of active Members. If 2/3 of active Members accept the Constitution then it will become official and be the guide for Tee Set into the future. 

MATTERS OF ETIQUETTE;

BUNKERS: Please ensure that bunkers are raked even if it’s not your marks.

THROWING CLUBS: This will not be tolerated and the standard excuse of “it slipped out of my hand” will not be accepted.

MUSIC: There is no restriction on personal music. However, it is a distraction to other players, keep it to yourself.

Tee Set is on a roll !! The scoring was completed in 15 minutes after last group returned to the club house. I request / require that you all enter your score in mygolf2u before handing in your scorecard to Admin..

Have a great week and I will see you all at Cengkareng on Sunday.

Regards

3. Hitoshi carded 4 birdies from the blue tees. A good day’s haul!

Highlights from Jakarta Golf Club ( Heritage Listed )

• The Vice President of JGC Mr Franky R Rungkat hosted Tee Set at Rawamangun. Franky played with Geoff, George & Doug. After sharing several big bottles of the amber fluid (aiming fluid) to the point Geoff forgot to pay his bar bill and collect his golf clubs before departing and Franky had to rest.
• Who will be our next celebrity – we are on a roll !
• Tee Set honcho Geoff gave the valet guy a huge tip only to find his car parked halfway into a rubbish heap that leaked ooze under the car. The only parking spot left in the car park>

• Richard Mau offered to bonus the caddies if his foursome companions could par the next hole. Well, they did for their only par of the day!
• Last week Ezra was pounding his 5 iron past others’ drives. This week Bob Fleischmann was pounding his own 3 iron past his own “no-good-for nothing brand new Ping driver. Ship happens Bob.
• John Brown, a Canadian Lumberjack at heart, tried 21 times to clear-cut the 150 year-old trees lining the fairways. (new nickname “The Forrester”)

RESULTS:

Thank for another great day. See you all at Imperial next Sunday

This Week at Gading Raya – 2nd Jan

Highlights:

Big winner Mike Webb who 3 putted the first three holes and still shot net 63. Congratulations Mike.

Graham Sutcliffe was a welcome newcomer to Tee Set. His habit of eschewing tees on par 3’s got some people thinking he’s pretty good.

Tee Set was pleased to welcome HE Ambassador Manoj Bharti, Indian Ambassador to Indonesia. Thank you Sir and we all enjoyed your company.

Ezra Alexander got some real respect when his 5 iron tee shots out distanced the other players’ drivers

Hitoshi’s low gross 78 was 6 strokes clear of the field. Well done Hitoshi

Newly appointed VP George Baptiste was overheard on several occasions muttering “Oh S***” with in Afrikaans means :What a wonderful day for golf.
