Another month has whizzed by with the World Cup, Birthday Scramble and Inter-league all being held these past few weeks, so we find ourselves at the end of August and ready for our Monthly Medal. Thus, on Sunday we head back to one of Jakarta’s finest courses and certainly one of Tee Set’s most popular venues, Cengkareng. We will have our August Monthly Medal and the first round of the Eclectic Cycle XIII – 12 in the books and still no 2 time winner!.
A lot to compete for but those just wanting a relaxing round whilst being taken care of by the excellent team at Cengkareng should also sign up.
If you are able to join us please sign up here. First tee time is 12.oopm as usual and the green fee is Rp.875,000. Please note that Cengkareng have in place procedures to comply with social distancing requirements; these will apply both pre- & post round plus on the course and we are all expected to follow these whilst at the Club.
Reminder: For those who would prefer not to walk, in addition to the hover boards to glide across the rolling fairways, Cengkareng has available a limited number of golf carts. If you wish to reserve one please contact the Golf reservations staff at Cengkareng directly. As the carts are limited in number and we do not have visibility to those already booked on the day, your Tee Set Committee is not involved to the reservation of the carts

Sunday 23rd August 2020 Riverside & JIL Rd III
The Day
Sunday saw our regular Tee Set event and JIL Round III at Riverside with 68 golfers turning out to play and 38 of these also joining into the Tee Set game. The course was in good condition and the weather spectacular all day which made for an excellent round once we got out onto the course.
Our only hiccup was a slightly delayed start for those scheduled on the back 9 semi shot gun as we needed to wait for carts and caddies to be available from the morning. A little frustrating at the time due to a lack of information but thank you to the Riverside GM for calling afterwards to apologize and explain that an unannounced, unscheduled VVVIP group had decided to come and somewhat thrown arrangements awry. That said, we all finished in good time and despite fear of the long weekend traffic, the ride home was quick.
A warm Tee Set welcome to our newcomers, Steve Tucker and Rolf and Kikki Keil (pictured). Eric Mary at 10 weeks our only notable welcome back. We look forward to seeing you all out again soon.
Thank you to the Singing President for his assistance with the morning’s registrations and to Lis Wymer for assisting with the scoring after the round.
The Play
No skirts today but as is often the case, our new-comers were recognized during the prize-giving, this week Rolf Keil for Most Strokes and Kikki Keil for Monster Putter. Bob Fleischmann was our Most Improved and Mark Johnson First Sandy. Andy Coop won First Birdie and Roger Finnie was our Low Putter on the day. Some excellent scoring on the day, net and gross, and Tee Set Captain Simon Reynolds led the way with his excellent Low Gross of 76.
Our Low Net winners (after a flight correction) were Fernando Gaggino, Marcelo de Jesus and Christine Lie. Detailed results are here: Riverside 2308 Results
Christine was back up again for her Long Drive in the JIL novelty holes where she was joined by Harry Lopez (LD) and Alastair Livingston (NTP).
On the day Tee Set lost 3 matches by a very close margin and were pipped by JIL ladder leaders Cloggies 4-6 whilst elsewhere Sandbaggers beat Tin Cups 6-4 and Pocksia beat Sentul Swingers 8-2.
Thank you to everyone for turning out and congratulations to all the winners on the day.
