Sunday 9th February 2020 Gading Raya

Posted on February 11, 2020 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Despite managing the final round of an Indonesian Amateur world ranking event and some other big groups on the day, the Gading Raya team were very accommodating to our late booking and secured our usual 2 tee start at 11.30am for the 43 players who turned up on Sunday to enjoy their round. Encouraged by the starter several groups headed to the tee early only to find a small queue but we were to tee off on time and enjoy a smooth round apart from a wait at the turn for 4 flights which had got in ahead of us on the change over.

The recent rains had left the course quite wet and together with the strong breeze which blew for most of our round, it made conditions a little more challenging than usual which was reflected in the scores. However, the course played well and despite the heavy traffic, we were round in reasonable time. The breeze also kept the rain away with only a short shower interrupting the otherwise pleasant golfing weather.

A warm Tee Set welcome was given to Steven Conlin and a welcome back to Matthew Cherrett after 23 weeks. Many thanks to VP Ric Wymer who took care of the scoring and announcements and photos of the day are here.

The Play

No Monster Putter this week but a 3 way tie for both skirts and Most Strokes kept the treasurer happy. Oliver Fritz was joined by Michael Mueller and David Baglivo for the skirt photo and by Timo Karonen and Holger Molendyk for Most Strokes. Indah Dhaliwal secured First Par for Handicaps >=30 and Weera Limjirakajorn was Most Improved.

First Sandy went to Matthias Coessens, First Birdie to Chris Lever and Low Putts was won by Mick Mongold. Tim Knight and Simon Oxley couldn’t be separated for Low Gross so were both rewarded with the prize.

Our Low Net winners were Graham Parsonage who had the best round of the day, Andy Coop on a count-back from Matthew Cherrett and Aurelie Neufkens.

Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here: Gading 090220 Results

Jakarta Inter-League

Tee Set will be entering a team in the 2020 JIL competition and so Captain Simon Reynolds is canvassing for players interested to join the team. An enjoyment of match-play is the main criteria and we will be seeking players from across the grades as a balanced team usually gives the best opportunity for success; the only limitation which may affect selection is that the handicap limit in JIL is set at 27 so players with a handicap higher than this will be restricted to claiming 27 strokes in the games (less of course the handicap of the lowest handicapped player in the game).

If you are interested to represent Tee Set in JIL please contact Simon directly on WhatsApp +6287882094706 or catch him at a Tee Set game and let him know. JIL will now start on 8th March 2020.

2020 Tee Set Schedule

Although all the same courses remain in March, we have had to rearrange the dates for each event due to course availability. Check out the latest schedule on the website.

Next Up: Imperial 11.55am Sunday 16th February 2020

 

Sunday sees us return to our local “K”  klub, Imperial. Imperial’s layout is always a strong golfing challenge and the Club House offers excellent views over the course to enjoy along with the good service and your chosen refreshment.

Tee time is 11.55 a.m. and the price Rp995,000 with carts. We will need to provide names to the course on Saturday morning latest so please sign up as soon as you can to help us with the administration with Imperial. Those that can join us please sign up here.

Note: Given all the heavy rains recently, we have decided that we will play lift clean & place on the fairways only until the end of March unless announced separately before the commencement of any week’s games. The exception will be at Riverside for Inter-league where a decision with the other captains will be made on the day.

2020 Tee Set Schedule

After much negotiation on some of the courses, we have finally developed the initial schedule for the year. This is posted on the web-site and you can download the schedule should you wish. Note it remains fluid as always so look out for the regular posts for what is happening week to week.

We also remain open for helpful ideas on strengthening the schedule, like adding Takara this year and re-considering Palm Springs (Sedana) now that the toll way is better. Please let Roger know if you have come across a hidden gem or have a good contact at one of the courses we have not visited for a while due to difficulties in getting a suitable arrangement for the group.

Sunday 2nd February 2020 Takara Golf Resort

Posted on February 4, 2020 by rogerfinnie

R.I.P Ian Barr

We start this week’s post with the sad news of the passing of Ian Barr on 20th January after a battle with cancer. Ian was someone who carried himself with a sense of humility and  generosity, always a smile on the face and looking to enjoy life’s experiences to the fullest. A regular at Tee Set and across other golf groups here in Jakarta, Ian remains the only Tee Setter to have won both the Tee Set Championship and Tee Set Match Play which he achieved in the same year, 2009.

Our condolences to Jan Barron, Ian’s partner, and all his family.

The Day

A wet morning, a longer than normal drive to a new course, the night after the BWA Ball … many of the reasons circulating for not coming on Sunday but for those 21 Tee Setters who made the effort, we were rewarded with an excellent day of golf on an enjoyable lay out offering a fair challenge for all levels of players; fairways were relatively wide and open, the bunkers and greens in good condition despite the obvious recent rains and a few holes required careful shot selection off the tees. The general consensus was that we should add a couple more visits to Takara for the calendar making it a good addition to our schedule even with the journey being around 75-90 minutes from central Jakarta.

We were also blessed with the weather as apart from a brief shower, the day was dry and the end of the round finished in warm sunshine as we gathered in the clubhouse for the prize giving after a smooth round.

We welcomed 2 new Tee Setters on Sunday with Prosad Biswas and Perry Wang joining us for the first time. No notable welcome backs in terms of time but it was a pleasure to see Dave Prosser back in action.

Many thanks to Simon Reynolds for making the arrangements with the course and to Ric Wymer for the scoring and registrations on the day. Photos of the day are here.

The Play

A trifecta of booby prizes for our newcomer Prosad Biswas who took home Monster Putter, Most Strokes and a skirt, the latter shared with Marcelo de Jesus and Keith Gorman.

Most Improved went to Alastair Livingston, First Birdie to Roger Finnie and Low Putts to Keith Gorman on a count back from Mick Mongold.  Low Gross on the day went to Tim Knight.

Our Low Net prizes went to James Bristow, Matt McGowan and Tribhuvan Singh (eventually after his handicap was updated but not before Jari Antikainen could collect his reward as the announced winner : – )!)

In the Tee Set Match Play, our first game was completed with Tribhuvan Singh continuing his rich vein of form to win 7&6 against new Tee Set JIL Captain Simon Reynolds. Detailed results from the day are here: Takara Results

Next Up: Takara Golf Resort Sunday 2nd February 2020 11.30am

Posted on January 30, 2020 by rogerfinnie

For the first time in a couple of years, this Sunday we add a new course to the Tee Set schedule as we head out way west, actually just a little further west than before, to Takara Golf Resort. Several Tee Setters have visited the course in recent months and come back with good reports so we have decided to give it a go.

Takara is around 55 km west of Jakarta on the Tangerang-Merak Toll, exit one later than Kedaton at the East Balaraja Toll Gate 1 and head south – best look it up on google maps. We have negotiated a good rate for this inaugural visit at Rp750,000 including cart (usually Rp725,000 walking) and the tee time is 11.30am. If you are interested to sign up and try our this new venue with us please do so here.

The distance is around the same as Rancamaya or Lotus Lakes but for those who usually taxi, we would be happy to help coordinate with other Tee Setters to arrange lift sharing if you are not able to find someone yourselves. Please make a note when signing up in the comments box so we can get onto it early in the week.

Tee Set Match Play

The drawing for the 2020 first round matches to determine the 2 brackets was held on Sunday as planned with the current 23 registered players matched up by a draw. There are still some places left in the competition and so we can accept additional entries through the end of February when the Emas and Kunning brackets will be determined and the competition moves to its knock-out stage.

If you are still interested to join up please register here. For those already registered, please check out the same page to check your first round opponent and to arrange your matches with-in the deadline of 23rd February 2020.

Late sign ups will be placed directly to the knock-out round so do not worry if your name is not there but you have already registered.

Schedule

We are still playing with the schedule as we balance maintaining a reasonable value proposition for our games with the rainy season challenges and a variety of courses. We will post the first semester later this week but the current planning for February, after this week is:

  • 9th February BSD
  • 16th February Senayan
  • 23rd February Cengkareng Monthly Medal

Sunday 26th January 2020 Cengkareng Monthly Medal

Posted on January 27, 2020 by rogerfinnie

The Day

A very weary President Roger Finnie arrived fairly early but with coordination an issue after the excellent Burns Supper the night before, he was most appreciative of Craig Edwards and VP Ric Wymer taking the reins for the day. Although the day itself was a perfect sunny day, that we were able to be playing at all after several days of rain is a testament to the quality of the course drainage as can be seen from the contrasting pictures of the 18th green from Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. The 10th tee box must however have been very soft as the VP of Almost Everything appeared to have sunk up to his knees whilst warming up before the round.

Clearly some softer areas on the course but over all it played very well, if just a little longer than normal which was reflected in the scoring on the day. As always, we were well looked after by the Cengkareng team and a good day was had by all.

No welcome backs of note this week but 4 new-comers were given a warm Tee Set welcome: Dean Callaway, Gary Wilkinson, Kwang Sik Kim and Paul Robertson.

Pictures of the day can be found here and many thanks to our Secretary Beby for doing all the registrations and scoring on the day.

The Play

5 players tied on 10 strokes escaped a group photo thanks to Timo Karonen’s Most Strokes of 11 but joining him for the skirt photo were Andrew Shaw, Andy Briston, Bill Lloyd, Graham Parsonage, Jari Antikainen, Paul Robertson and Stuart Bennett.

2 two-way tie on Monster Putter with newcomers Paul Robertson and Kwang Sik Kim needing some more practise on Cengkareng’s smooth greens. First Par for Handicaps>=30 went to Cory Packard whilst James Ross took home Most Improved. Recovering his fine with 1st Sandy was Andy Briston with 1st Birdie being secured by Doug McQuater.

Principal Fringe dweller for a second week was Petri Lahdekorpi whilst Tim Knight was our double winner on the day for both NTP and Low Gross. Long Drive Men went to Lorenzo Marengo whilst both ladies playing conspired to miss the fairway leaving that prize unclaimed.

Low Net winners on the day were Simon Reynolds, Leon Bivolaru and Stefan Thiele whilst taking home the Monthly Medal for the first time was Tribhuvan Singh.

Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here: Form_ Current Results 26-01-20

Posted on January 23, 2020 by Tee Set

On Sunday we head back to one of Jakarta’s finest courses and certainly one of Tee Set’s most popular venues, Cengkareng, home for Tee Set’s Monthly Medal for 2020.

In addition to being the first Monthly Medal of 2020, this week will also be the 1st round of Cycle XII of the Tee Set Eclectic. 

Whilst there is a lot to attract players for this week, we also welcome those who just wish to enjoy a pleasant trip across the rolling fairways, guided round by Cengkareng’s well trained caddies and then to sit and enjoy one of the courses deservedly famous Margaritas to cool you down afterwards.

If you are able to join us please sign up here. First tee time is midday as usual and the green fee will be advised asap after we are advised of the new pricing – not expected to be significantly different to last year’s Rp.850,000.

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 19th January 2020 Riverside

Posted on January 20, 2020 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Although not far down the Jagorawi Toll, we were back at Riverside early in the year due to us getting rained out during our December visit. Still being the heart of the rainy season, there was a lot of second guessing on this scheduling but we need not have worried as we arrived to a perfectly dry, sunny “made for golfing” day and to a golf course in top condition after being refreshed by recent rains. With a mini shot-gun start arranged for our group, we could all complete our rounds in good time to enable the prize giving to be completed by just after 5pm. Topping the day off was a smooth trip home up the toll.

We had 4 newcomers amongst our 41 players with a warm Tee Set welcome being given to Stuart Bennett, Chang Hyun Park, Peter Casement and Shouichi Nishimura. Notable welcome backs to Ronald Hioka after 63 weeks and Petri Lahdekorpi and Fitrat Ameer after 22 weeks.

Sunday saw plenty of refreshments shared with Ronald kindly bringing 3 cases of water for us to use on the course and Jeff Durham emptying the contents of his liquor cabinet as Sunday was his expected last day at Tee Set before returning home to live. Jeff made a short speech to those assembled and was thanked by the Committee for his contributions and support to Tee Set over the years.

Whilst everything went fairly smoothly on Sunday, the gloss on the day was sadly taken off with an untimely reminder that golf can be dangerous if due care is not taken for the other players around you when playing your shot or if something goes accidentally awry with the intended swing. Our fingers are crossed that there is no lasting effects and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to Dave. Thanks to Keith for helping to look after him en route to the ER.

Thank you to Beby for doing the registrations and scoring on the day and photos are here.

The Play

With some tricky holes, a large score is always possible at Riverside and a log jam on 10 strokes saw 5 players relieved that Peter Casement and Ric Wymer shot 11 strokes on a hole to share Most Strokes. 5 skirts on the day shared by Dan Javier, James Bristow, Mark Johnson, Shouichi Nishimori and Weera Limjirakajorn.

Weera, First Par handicaps >=30, and Shouichi, Most Improved, were both up again to recover their fines. Petri Lahdekorpi was our master of the flat stick this week as Low Putter.

Fast out the gate were Richard Mau and Jari Antikainen taking 1st Birdie and First Sandy on their opening holes, respectively whilst steady all the way round was Low Gross winner, Fitrat Ameer.

Some good scores returned on the day with 8 players at or better than net par. Top of the grades were Andy Briston, Craig Edwards on a count-back from Mike Webb and Harry Lopez on a count-back from Tribhuvan Singh.

Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here: Riverside results 19-01-20

Sunday 12th January 2020 Padang Modern

Posted on January 13, 2020 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Fresh from completing his first Fun Run event in Jakarta with fellow Tee Setter Mike Ha and team mates from Dungeon X, President Roger Finnie was in situ very early to welcome the rest of the 33 Tee Setters who turned out to Padang Modern this week for our second game of 2020. Whilst this, along with VP Bill Lloyd’s ensemble were both note-worthy in their own right, pride of place this week goes to the Landau family for which 3 generations turned out on Sunday – perhaps the first occasion for us to welcome 3 generations of one family at an event. Very proud Grandpa Mike, visiting Jakarta and returning to Tee Set after 176 weeks was joined by son Jeff and grandson Dillon, who was out for his first round with Tee Set.

Although the rain had been heavy in the week, we were to enjoy a very warm and dry day with the gentle breeze being just enough to ensure careful club selection was needed. The course itself showed a few signs of the wet weather it had endured in recent days but overall, the ball rolled well and the greens retained most of their usual quickness for those trying to bump and run around them. The morning’s bookings were quiet so we were able to head out ahead of the scheduled tee time and the first groups were back in the clubhouse well before 4pm after a smooth, traffic free round.

In addition to Dillon Landau, we gave warm Tee Set welcomes to newcomers Kelsey Tanabe and JP Salgado. Joining Mike Landau in this weeks welcome backs were Stefan Thiele after 53 weeks and Andy Vincent, Gimmy Panata, Jaturaporn Pibankul and Banphot Wongvisava, all after 34 weeks.

Thank you to Beby who managed the registrations and scoring and photos of the day can be found here.

The Play

Whilst the conditions were quite favourable, the overall challenge which Modern presents, particularly when not completely dry and rolling fast on the fairways, was reflected in the fact that only 1 player was able to beat their handicap on the day. With VP Ric Wymer having omitted the Tee Set bag from his packing this morning, our fine winners were spared the dress up accessories on the day but not the pleasure of being recognized in the prize-giving. 7 skirts were secured on the day shared between Axel Hertzke, Jaturaporn Pibankul, JP Salgado, Kelsey Tanabe, Matthias Coessens, Michael Mueller and Michael Seabrook.  Kelsey was back for Monster Putter while Most Strokes was awarded to Banphot Wongvisava.

First Par for Handicaps >=30 went to Michael Seabrook whilst Tom Grace took home Most Improved. First Sandy went to Geary Bowles and First Birdie to Andy Vincent. Low Putts was secured by Roger Finnie

Low Gross on the day was awarded to Tim Knight whilst Richard Mau, Lis Wymer and Timo Karonen (on a count-back from Michael Seabrook) took home our Low Net honours. After narrowly missing out on Saturday, Lis’s round also saw her bounce back to secure the Wymer Family Cup for this week….

Next Up Padang Modern Sunday 12th January 2020 12pm

Posted on January 9, 2020 by rogerfinnie

With several of our desired visits in 2019 clashing with other events at the course, we have not visited Modern in a few months. With no tournaments planned on the same date and the rainy season in full swing making the west side more attractive weather wise, we have booked to come back to Padang Modern this week, a former home for our monthly medal. We are generally well looked after and have an enjoyable round making it a relaxed day out.

Tee time is confirmed for 12.00pm and the cost including cart is Rp870,000. If you are interested to join us please sign up here to register.

2020 Tee Set Charity Drive

In 2019 Tee Set members donated over 160kg of unwanted clothes which went to support the relief efforts in Palu and Lombok helping those affected by the earthquakes which badly hit those regions. For the current year, we would like to launch a new effort, appropriately named Tee Set Vision 20/20.

Like your President, I am sure many of you have old glasses and/or outdated prescriptions which are lying in your drawers at home. We will be happy to collect these from you over the next few months and once we have a sizable collection, we will distribute them amongst the poor and needy where they can make a difference to the quality of life for many. Please bring them along to any Tee Set game and pass them to any committee members to add to the collection. If you know the actual prescription please put a small note in the glasses box or on the frames – if not we’ll sort it out! Thank you in advance for your contributions to this worthy effort.

Handicaps: New E-mail Address for Scorecards

Just a reminder to send all scorecards for handicaps to our new address dedicated for this purpose: teesetcards@gmail.com.

Scorecards submitted to the Tee Set account or handed over to the Secretary/Committee on a Sunday afternoon will still be processed but it may not be as quick.
