Sunday 28th July 2019 Cengkareng Monthly Medal

Posted on July 29, 2019 by rogerfinnie

The Day

A bright sunny day welcomed 38 Tee Setters to Cengkareng for our July Monthly Medal and with the traffic being relatively light for most players, plenty of us arrived a little ahead of plans which gave us time to enjoy the excellent service and relaxed atmosphere of the club house or to have a gentle stretch and warm up ahead of the round.

       

Although the tee boxes were a little busy for the afternoon starters, we were to head off on time as usual and enjoyed a relatively untroubled and relaxed round with the firm fairways and smooth greens enabling those playing well to return some good scores reflected by 25% of players returning scores better than their handicaps on the day.

Sunday was the last round for a couple of our regular players over the last couple of years with both Matthew Powell (Calgary) and Chris Lever (Egypt) leaving us – for the time being – to pastures new. Both gave a small speech of thanks to the group and were kind enough to spend their last rupiah on a few jugs which were shared around. We wish you both bon voyage and hopefully see you back for your holidays soon.

Refreshing our ranks were 4 newcomers and a warm Tee Set welcome was given to Ezra Alexander, Jude Alexander (no relation), Paul Chenier and Tanta Tarigan. Welcome backs this week included Howard Short after an impressive 393 weeks and Zeno Barburia after 124 weeks. We hope to see you all out again soon.

 

 

Thank you to Brenda Mayland for managing all the sign-ups and scoring on the day and to VP Ric Wymer for the weekly registrations.

The Play

Our first presentation of the day was actually a hangover from last month with June’s Monthly Medal winner, Ronald Lim, being on hand to be presented with his medal and for us to capture of photo of him with the Trophy. Congratulations again Ronald.

As usual, we then went onto the fun awards and although we had no Monster Putter this week, we did capture 4 skirts with newcomer Jude Alexander being joined by Rakesh Surampudi, Andrew Shaw and Mike Riggs for the photo. Most Strokes went to Audie Kaunang and Most Improved to Roger Finnie.

    

Impressive though his double Sandy Par was, Mark Johnson was still to receive our regular reward for this skill prize along with Jude Alexander and Ronald Lim. First Birdie went to Ezra Alexander whilst Low Putts went to Tanta Tarigan and Low Gross to Tim Knight.

   

Our Low Net winners on the day were the departing Matthew Powell, Arnold Castillon and Rakesh Surampudi. For the Monthly Medal skill prizes, Long Drive went to Simon Reynolds and Nearest the Pin to Grant Lutz.

         

Our 7th Monthly Medalist for 2019 was Joe Callahan who returned 40 points to claim the shield for this month.

Congratulations to all our winners and detailed results are here: Form_ Current Results for CGK 28 Jul 19

Tee Set Eclectic X

Heading into the final round, Eclectic VII winner, James Ross, had a small but important lead over a chasing pack headed by round 2 leader Matthew Powell. Whilst most of the chasing pack improved by 2 -3 strokes, James was unfortunate not convert an otherwise below handicap round into an improvement in his Eclectic score. As a result, Matthew Powell’s birdie on his last hole before departing Jakarta was enough to sneak him past James and take home the Trophy as our Eclectic X winner. Commiserations to James and congratulations to Matthew.

     

Our wait for a repeat winner goes on and with the board wiped clean, Eclectic XI will commence with August’s Monthly Medal round.

Tee Set Match Play

 The last Quarter-final match was played on Sunday with Divya Prakash Ahuja defeating   Simon Reynolds  3&2.  Divya moves onto the Emas Bracket final to play Roger Finnie for a place in the final where the winner will square off against Kuning Bracket winner, Simon Oxley, for the Ric Wymer Match-Play Cup.

This Sunday we head back to one of Jakarta’s finest courses and one of Tee Set’s most popular venues, Cengkareng, home for Tee Set’s Monthly Medal for 2019.

In addition to being the 7th Monthly Medal of 2019, this week will also be the final round of Cycle X of the Tee Set Eclectic. Will former Eclectic champion James Ross retain his lead and become our first 2-time winner or will someone else surge through to succeed Lorenzo Marengo as Champion. If you are interested to see the leaderboard and/or your own scores, please check out the Eclectic page.

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 its famous Margaritas to cool you down afterwards.

If you are able to join us for a very reasonable Rp850,000 walking please sign up here. Tee time is 12pm as usual.

Reminder: For those who would prefer not to walk, in addition to the hover boards to glide across the rolling fairways, Cengkareng management have purchased 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 21st July 2019 Gunung Geulis

Posted on July 23, 2019 by rogerfinnie

The Day

With Tee Set making arrangements for a week-end at Gunung Guelis playing both courses and D.O.G.S. playing near-by at Rainbow Hills on Saturday, several Tee Setters took advantage to enjoy a relaxing evening in the Sentul area and a leisurely hop to the golf course on Sunday morning. The rest of our group obviously had a trouble free trip as we were all signed in and sitting on carts in good time to tee off on schedule.

The 2 courses at Gunung Geulis were both spectacular and challenging in their own ways. However, as was mentioned more than once during the week-end, it is so rare that every hole on a course is so picturesque so none of us minded finding them a little more of a challenge than usual. With the West course being relatively quiet on Sunday, the cool air and bright sunshine making conditions ideal on the fast running fairways, the day was certainly one to enjoy and despite some initial concerns for the journey home, the toll was also free running so we got home in good time once getting off the mountain.

      

3 new comers this week and we gave a warm Tee Set welcome to Christophe Beau, Ian Law and Phongthep. Welcome backs after 24 weeks to Nick Gleeson and 16 weeks to Peraphon.

Thank you to VP Bill Lloyd for coordinating the hotel arrangements for Saturday night and to VP Ric Wymer for managing all the scoring on the day; pictures of the day can be found here.

The Play

The challenges of the West course were reflected in the scoring with no one managing to hit handicap but this masked some excellent play nonetheless. Our Treasurer was happy to see some skirts for the first time in 3 weeks, so much so he was up for the photo with Ric Wymer being joined by newcomer Ian Law, Nick Gleeson, Zander Watt and Rakesh Surampudi. Rakesh also had Monster Putter whilst Andrew Shaw and Brett Shields shared Most Strokes.

Divya Ahjua had Low Putts and Mike Riggs was always in the money with a First Birdie on hole 1 as part of an outward gross 37. recovering his fine, Ian Law improved by 12 on the back 9 to take home Most Improved whist Tim Knight shot an impressive 34 coming home to win Low Gross.

Clearly in resort mode, Paul Daud and Bill Lloyd were split for the Low Net Winners photo by the mono-chrome shirted Roger Finnie.

Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results can be found here: Form_ Current Results-Gunung Geulis

Tee Set Match-Play Championship

Sunday saw the Kuning Bracket final played with Simon Oxley winning 4&2 against Keith Gorman to proceed to the Match Play Championship Final where he awaits the winner of the Emas Bracket to play for the Ric Wymer Cup.

Next Up: Cengkareng Sunday 28th July Monthly Medal

This Sunday we head back to one of Jakarta’s finest courses and one of Tee Set’s most popular venues, Cengkareng, home for Tee Set’s Monthly Medal for 2019.

Sunday 14th July 2019 Imperial Golf Klub

Posted on July 15, 2019 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Another oddly quiet Tee Set Sunday but the lower numbers did not detract from an otherwise great day as we headed west to play at Imperial Klub Golf. The roads were quiet and many of us arrived in good time to enjoy the excellent service in the Club House and/or practise facilities and unusually, the wedding fair which was occupying most of the seating area for the day.

With only 4 flights to arrange we were ready in good time and the starter took advantage of a gap in the field to get us off 10 minutes early which meant one of our players was still putting on golf shoes on the way to the 1st Tee whilst ensuring his food was delivered to the course too.

Once going, we had a smooth round under warm, bright but hazy skies and were all finished with scoring by just after 4.40pm. This fortunately coincided with a break in the wedding fair entertainment, allowing the prize giving to be completed without needing to compete with the music which had entertained us as we came off the course.

One new-comer this week and a warm Tee Set welcome to Mike Riggs and one notable welcome back to Tony Wood after 106 weeks. We hope to see you both out again soon.

Thanks you to VP Ric Wymer for managing the scoring on the day and pictures can be found here.

The Play

A firm course and benign conditions ensured we all had the opportunity to play well and there were some excellent results turned in on the day. For the second week in a row there were no skirts and despite the quicker greens, we all putted well or managed our fringe dwelling sufficiently to avoid any risks of a Monster Putter prize. Inescapable however is Most Strokes and Leon Bivolaru and Mike Riggs saved an otherwise log jam of players on 8 with their return of 9 on a hole to share this award. Mike won his money back with the only Sandy Par of the day and Keith Gorman came back an impressive 9 strokes better to win Most Improved.

First Birdie went to Simon Oxley with James Ross winning Low Putts whilst Roger Finnie picked up First Eagle and Low Gross on the day.

Only needing to finish as the only player in C grade this week, Jari Antikainen picked that Low Net award where he was joined by the in-form Graham Parsonage and the ever-green former President, Geoff Thwaites.

Congratulations to all our winners and the detailed results are here: Form_ Current Results Imperial

Tee Set Match Play Championship

The 3rd of 4 Quarter final matches was completed on Sunday with Keith Gorman riding his great back 9 to win 2Up against Matthew Powell. Keith moves onto the Kunning Bracket Final where he will play Simon Oxley for a place in the Final. On the other side of the draw, President Roger Finnie awaits the outcome of the remaining QF between Simon Reynolds and Divya Prakash Ahuja.

Sunday 7th July 2019 BSD

Posted on July 8, 2019 by rogerfinnie

The Day

A smaller than usual turnout this week at BSD possibly influenced by summer trips, competing society events or just a quiet post 4th July week-end for our US members but the 24 Tee Setters who came were treated to a smooth and enjoyable day.

A morning competition had pushed our start time back a little but the starter arranged a 6 hole shot-gun for us meaning we were all off at the same time and enjoyed a smooth round to finish well before dusk. The weather was hazy and despite a few threatening clouds late into the round, we only experienced a few rain drops which did not detract from an otherwise dry and smooth running course.

No newcomers this week but an impressive welcome back to Peter Riddell Carre after 275 weeks which paled the more modest returns of Neil Mullins (59 weeks) and Erik Milfors (44 weeks) but who were equally feted during the presentations.

Many thanks to Beby for managing the registrations and scoring and to VP Ric Wymer for taking care of the prize-giving. Photos of the day are here.

The Play

No skirts this week but the Treasurer was pleased to note a 3-way tie for Most Strokes with our welcome backs, Peter Riddell Carre and Erik Milfors being joined by Supachai Suesomboon who however won his fine back with Low Putts. Monster Putter was Harry Lopez . Most Improved went to Samret Raungrit.

Our other welcome back, Neil Mullins, took home 1st Sandy whilst 1st Birdie went to Chuck Jeffrey for the first of his 4 birdies on the day. Low Gross went to Simon Reynolds after an excellent 77 off the stick.

On a day of good scoring, our leaders in the Low Net category were Graham Parsonage, Paul Daud and Dirk Kruip.

Congratulations to all our winners and detailed scoring is here: Form_ Current Results BSD 070719

Tee Set Match Play

One match completed at BSD with Roger Finnie squeezing past 2018 Match Play Champion, Jens Roestel in a closely fought game, 3&2. Roger enters the Emas Bracket final and along with Simon Oxley in the Kunning Bracket, awaits the out-come of the other semi-final matches in their respective brackets.

Forthcoming Tee Set events…..

Of course, those wishing to play Sunday only have this option also so we hope there will be a great turnout over the week-end.

Sunday 30th June 2019 Cengkareng Monthly Medal

Posted on July 2, 2019 by rogerfinnie

Thank you all for those pointing out the premature posting yesterday and apologies…below is the full post duly updated.

The Day

The last Sunday of the month saw us head once more to Cengkareng for June’s monthly medal and for those interested in the Eclectic, round 3 of Cycle X. A beautiful albeit slightly hazy day greeted the 37 Tee Setters who came along this week and with many of us arriving early, there was lots of socializing being done around the clubhouse ahead of our regular noon tee time.

The course itself was in great conditions and with the bright sunshine baking the greens, they ran true and fast this week which brought its own challenge to some as can be seen in the results below. Overall it made for some good scoring and we all enjoyed a relatively quick and untroubled round.

4 newcomers with a warm Tee Set welcome being given to Wuttiworanat Meeswa, John Savage, Fred Papachristidis-Bove, and Andy Briston. Also shown in the new-comers as it was so long since his last visit was Ronan O’Neil and the rest of our welcome backs included Dave Allan (192 weeks), Supachai Pojsilpach (152 weeks) and Neil Hallet (135 weeks). An impressive set of welcome backs and we hope to see you all out again shortly.

A warm welcome back was also given to our Secretary, Brenda Mayland and many thanks to her for managing the registrations and scoring on the day. Photos are posted here as usual: https://www.flickr.com/photos/106229755@N06/albums/72157709331729602

The Play

As is often the case, our new comers tend to get in amongst the prize giving and this week was no different with Fred Papachristidas-Bove getting called up for Most Strokes and a Skirt where he was joined by Paul Daud and then Craig Edwards, Dave Allan and Franz Heuken, respectively. Fred missed out on the trifecta with Monster Putter going to Lorenzo Marengo. Most Improved went to Matt Otto who was also proudly sporting his Tee Set socks from the 2015 Championship.

     

Amol Singhal took First Birdie and with Roger Finnie taking Low Gross, a 3-way tie saw Richard Mau, Andy Briston and Ronan O’Neill share Low Putts. First Sandy went to Renni Puri. Our Low Net winners were Simon Oxley, Geoff Thwaites and Joe Callahan.

          

Our Monthly Medal skill prizes went to Hana Ariestya and Andy Briston for their Long Drives and to Samret Raungrit for NTP. James Ross and Simon Oxley were our runners-up in the Monthly Medal which was taken by Ronald Lim after his Gross 80 netted him 41 points. Unfortunately Ronald was absent at the prize giving so we will get his picture for the web-site on another week.

Congratulations to all our winners and details of the results are here: Form_ Current Results for CGK 30 Jun 19

Tee Set Match-Play

The final match in the current round was completed on the deadline with Simon Reynolds defeating Dan Javier 2&1. The next round is the bracket semi-finals and games are due to be played by 25th August 2019.

Farwell and best wishes…

Although no official confirmations we understand a number of our regular Tee Setters are departing shortly for pastures new. The rumour mill informs us that:

  • Chris Lever will depart to Egypt to take up a new post there;
  • Rudie Basson’s contract in Jakarta is complete and he will return home to South Africa;
  • Arthur Mallari is returning to the Philippines with San Miguel

We wish you all the best of luck and look forward to welcoming you back should your travels bring them back to Jakarta at some point in the future.

Next Up: BSD Sunday 7th July 2019 12.30pm
