Matoa Nasional 11.48am Sunday 6th May 2018

Posted on May 3, 2018 by rogerfinnie


As Padang Modern has informed us they are holding a morning competition and that they have heavy bookings for the afternoon, we have decided to make a change of venue from the published schedule. Sunday therefore sees us return to the home of the Tee Set Championship, Matoa Nasional.

We are always well looked after by the staff at Matoa and apart from the usual risks of an afternoon shower, the day is good value as the food and beverages are reasonably priced on top of the golf being one of cheaper venues now.

Tee time is 11.48am and the price Rp650,000 with cart. Please sign up here if you are interested to join.

Please also see here for the latest schedule if you are interested to check out upcoming events.

Tee Set Match-Play

Although the schedule looks long, the Ramadan and Lebaran holidays eat away the last 3 or 4 weeks when people may be away. There are still 10 matches to be played in the first knock-out round so please check you opponent here and get your matches arranged asap.

As James Ross is away the next couple of months, please inform President Roger Finnie of your result so he can update your progress.

Rancamaya Tee Set vs D.O.G.S. 2nd/3rd June 2018

One of our most popular events and always an excellent week-end away, our visit to Rancamaya will be held over the week-end of 2nd/3rd June as we take advantage of the good traffic during Ramadan to head further down the Jagorawi Toll.

The event is open to all Tee Setters and for those who want to make a full week-end of it, booking your hotel room early is a must. Details about the week-end, the hotel and the rooming options are on the website  here. In addition to being a good week-end away, the golf is also great value with the rate  with carts confirmed at Rp660,000 for both Saturday PM and Sunday PM; thanks to John and Sarah Brown from D.O.G.S. for securing this rate.

Mark Johnson markstevenjohnson56@gmail.com is kindly coordinating all the room bookings so please contact him via email as soon as possible to secure your desired room type and to inform him on which dates you require the reservation for. Some popular rooms are in limited supply and will fill up fast; these will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so please email Mark asap.

Sunday 29th April 2018: Cengkareng

Posted on April 30, 2018 by rogerfinnie

 The Day

Being the last Sunday of the month, this week saw 43 Tee Setters head out to the always popular Cengkareng as we kicked off the first round of Eclectic VIII and held our April Monthly Medal.

This month, added to shank’s pony and the hover -boards was the introduction of a limited number of carts which proved very popular with those looking for a more relaxed trip across the rolling fairways.

 

As usual, we were warmly welcomed and took advantage of the friendly service whilst registrations and the playing four-somes were sorted out. With the weather being dry and sunny, play was moving smoothly so we were able to tee off slightly ahead of time and enjoyed a rain free round; quite the contrast to last week at PJ! The warm weather also made the course quite firm which led to many scores under handicaps on the day.

3 newcomers joined us this week and a warm Tee Set welcome was given to Gary Hing, Paul Boquest and John Stevens. We also welcomed back the Gaisler family after 26 weeks.

A big thank you to Brenda Mayland who managed all the administration on the day and photos of the day are here.

The Play

An impressive 75% of our players made the summary of play on the day for the good, the bad and the skillful play on the day. With the longer carries to the Ladies Tees, unsurprisingly the list of Skirt winners was the longest with 9 Tee Setters getting called up to share the photo: Amol Singhal Bill Lloyd, John Suermondt, Jongchun Kim, Pascal Bekaert,  Pieter Nielen-Groen, Rudie Basson, Rusty Witwer and Stefan Skibinski sharing the dress up outfits amongst themselves. Rusty on his last Tee Set round before returning to the USA made sure he got the most golf in securing Most Strokes for his 13 strokes on a hole. Completing the fines was Dede Nielen-Groen who secured the Monkey photo for her 40 putts.

Both Pascal and Bill were able to recover their fines by taking home Most Improved of 14 and First Birdie on hole number 2, respectively. Low Putts with only 27 putts on the greens was won by Tony Howarth.

First Sandy was shared by Nicki Stuart and Daniel Brown for their efforts on hole 4. New comer Gary Hing had an impressive 77 off the stick for our Low Gross on the day but having gone home early, Roger Finnie was left to pick up the prize. Low Net A and Low Net B went to Match-play opponents on the day, Mark Johnson (69) and Chris Lever (68), respectively. Completing the Low Net prizes was Dede Nielen-Groen who shot a net 77.

Our monthly medal Long Drive prizes were won by Arne Tjaden (242m) and Dede-Nielen-Groen (165m) whilst the NTP prize was taken home by Richard Bolton who knocked his short to within 80cm of the hole.

The major prize on the day and getting her name added to the list of Monthly Medal winners on the shield was Jana Gaislerova who scored 42 points on the day. As Jana had left for the airport by the time of the prize giving we will capture her photo and award her medal at a future event.

3 match-plays were completed on the day with Mark Johnson overcoming Chris Lever 2&1 and Wina Nugraha besting Mark Fiorello 4&2 in their first knock-out round matches whilst Roger Finnie pipped Daniel Brown 2up to move into the last 8 of the Match-Play Championship.

Detailed results of the day are here.

Being the last week-end of the month, 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 2018’s Monthly Medal.

Thanks to the generous support of Ken Runyon and his teams at Accel Golf and Golf & Special Events Management we will recognizing the Low Gross and Low A, B & C winners with a trophy in addition to presentation of the Monthly Medal to the overall winner.

 

This week will also be the 1st  round of Cycle VIII of the Tee Set Eclectic and the first opportunity for you to  put your marker down to wrestle the Eclectic Trophy off Cycle VII winner, Mr James Ross.

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 Rp800,000 walking please sign up here. Tee time is 12pm as usual.

News Flash: For those who would prefer not to walk, in addition to the hover boards to glide across the rolling fairways, Cengkareng management have recently purchased 8 golf carts. These are priced at Rp55ok a cart so if you wish to reserve one please contact the Golf reservations staff at Cengakreng directly.

Sunday 22nd April 2018, Pangkalan Jati

Posted on April 23, 2018 by Tee Set

 The Day

With all the grown-ups away in Bali for the 2-day event at the lovely Handara course, more of which below, the rest of us were left to sort ourselves out. This was achieved with relative success though Holger Molendyk somehow managed to end up in a flight of just 1 – himself, happily this was sorted out after just a hole or two.

Just one Newcomer to report in Tan Chee Hua from Singapore; welcome Tan and, as we promised, 6 hour rounds are very much the exception rather than the rule at Tee Set so come back soon and often.

A notable Welcome Back to Tomas Dudasko at 43 weeks while Muhammad and his father-in-law Mustafa had also not darkened our doorstep in quite some time. A first warning to you all!!

PJ is in pretty good shape these days though the greens looked rather better than they played with the ball hopping about a little on some them. Add in decent food, attractively priced beer and excellent attentive service and PJ remains a great standby course always willing to receive us though the nonsense around not being able to pay until 12 noon remains a not insignificant pain.

A few light showers early on in the round and we thought we had got away with it until midway through the back nine when the heavens opened in the most spectacular fashion, lasting well over half an hour and flooding the course, causing most groups to call it a day – with only the match-play group eventually completing all 18 holes.

For those who were not there then you will get an idea of the ferocity of the downpour in this video taken during a mad scramble to get back to the clubhouse.

This meant that to get to prize giving many had to sit it out in the clubhouse for up to 2 hours as the truly dedicated waited for conditions to clear enough to resume play. Remarkably, two-thirds of the field were present as prizes were given out and with the club reporting record sales of their very reasonably priced Bintang. Well done to all for making the supreme sacrifice, hope you all got home ok.

Rather fewer than usual photos of the day as Brenda took a well-deserved break; thankfully she is back next week. A big thank you to Keith Miller who stepped in to look after all the arrangements and reporting on the day.

The Play

Some very odd-looking numbers on the scoreboard this week due to our taking account of just the 12 holes that every flight managed  to complete. Please note that only those few who did manage to complete 18 holes will have their rounds entered into our handicap system.

Daniel Brown took the A Grade prize as the visiting Neil Mullins got Low Putts in the absence of Nicki Stuart, Keith Miller continued to enjoy and profit from his 22 Handicap while Rusty Witwer enjoyed the penultimate round of his latest visit from the US in recording the lowest net of the day of 45.

Rusty is here on his latest short-term contract to advise our host country on the secrets of avoiding forest fires and putting them out where prevention fails.  Having peacefully settled into near retirement, Rusty was not exactly enthusiastic to come back half way round the world again – until he learned that his local course had cored all their greens – he reckons they will be perfect by the time he gets back 🙂

A number of prizes not awarded due to players being absent, a rule established back in 1983 requiring that you have to be present to receive a prize – and that is a tradition we have respected for all of our nigh on 35 years!!

Tee Set Match-Play Championship

Just one result today with Daniel Brown turning over Arthur Malleri 3 and 2 in their marathon six hours and 10 minutes round.

With this game, 4 matches are already completed and 12 remain to be completed in this round. With the higher turnout, our monthly medal is always a good time to get your match arranged so please check who is your opponent here and contact them to agree on playing if both of you can make it.

Match v Bali Par 5 Club

In addition to all the fun at PJ, this weekend also saw 16 Tee Setters and their families head to Bali to compete on behalf of Tee Set in Battle Royale III, the third installment in our now annual match against Par 5 Club.

The venue this year was the beautiful Handara course up in the mountains of central Bali. Both Par 5 members and Tee Setters were staying at the course so in addition to the 3 rounds of golf which made up the match, there was plenty of opportunity to sit out on the balcony and enjoy plenty of social interaction together. Surprisingly, despite the heavy down pour which greeted our arrival on Friday lunchtime, the 2 days of the match were uninterrupted by further rainfall during the games and were able to enjoy our golf in nice cool conditions and even some bright sunshine for a few hours on each of the days.

The management of the course made a great effort in getting the course into a good condition after several weeks of heavy rain and we thanked them for all their efforts in making this event such a success as well as thanking the Par 5 co-Captains Rob Nicholls and Derrick Richardson.

In the match, for the third year in a row the Battle Royale Cup was won by the home team with Par 5 prevailing 21-11 over Tee Set. An honourable mention to Chris Lever who went through the week-end unbeaten and a big thank you to Captain Nick Gleeson and all the Tee Setters who made to effort to come and support the event. Battle Royale IV will be in Jakarta so we will target to take the cup back on home turf.

 

Next Up: Cengkareng 12pm 29th April 2018

Rancamaya Week-end June 2nd and 3rd 2018

Posted on April 21, 2018 by rogerfinnie

Have you ever wondered what golf heaven might be like? … if so then come and join us for a weekend away at Tee Set’s beloved Rancamaya – and find out!

The outline program for the weekend, based at the “R Hotel”  is as follows:

Saturday June 2, 2018

Check in for families from 11 am, grab an early lunch, just chill out, practice your short game or stretch it out on the range in case you need/want it.

After paying your green fees (Price TBC but was Rp650k last year) and topping up your cool boxes, we should be ready to try to conquer the course with an official tee off time of 12:30. Just form up into flights and get out there, nothing formal today as this is not an official Tee Set round, i.e. no skirts or Low Net and all that stuff, that’s tomorrow!

If you have not already done so, check in after playing at the hotel for the unencumbered (or do it before if you feel like it, as they may have rooms ready).

For those who felt they came out second best to the course the masseuses in the hotel will be ready to put you back into shape.

Those finding the mountain climate too cool can warm up in the sauna or Jacuzzi throughout their stay.

From 19:00 till late, there will a BBQ in, and in front of, the Club House for all registered  paid for by Tee Set funds (don’t worry, the distance from the club house to the hotel is no longer than a short par 3), during which we will fraternize with tomorrow’s competition, the D.O.G.S. You are greatly encouraged to bring a or a few bottles of wine, as well as any other beverages you might want to consume or share, but don’t forget to buy a beer or two from the club as well.

Sunday June 3rd, 2018

Breakfast in the hotel restaurant (own account but included in room fee if booked with us below).

Check out of the hotel for those without families or accompanying partners.

Pay your green fees, etc.

Tee Set registration in the Clubhouse for those who came just for the Sunday game, although we expect only few such pilgrims because certainly nobody will want to miss out on a weekend like this unless they really have to.

With an official tee off time of 12:00, be ready to get out on the course as soon as the Starter calls.

Play your round, including if you have been selected to play against the D.O.G.S. to get the trophy back for Tee Set, otherwise it is a normal Tee Set round.

After submission of all score cards, fines payment, prize giving and a few beers for the road it is off you go – just don’t forget to check your family out of the hotel if you brought them and are not staying over until the Monday as we expect a few to do – and take them back to Jakarta with you.

Rooms

There are a variety of room types on offer at the following special rates (inclusive of the 21% government tax & service charge) for any night of that weekend:

Numbers of some of the popular room types are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Room type numbers are as follows:

We will be opening the regular event sign up shortly but those wishing to secure your room booking and room type early there is some action to do now.

Please choose your preferred room type, determine if you wish to stay Saturday only, Friday and Saturday or additional days on top of that and email directly to Mark Johnson on markstevenjohnson56@gmail.com.

Mark has kindly made the negotiations with the Hotel Management and will run a master list of all the bookings to ensure we can place as many people in their preferred room type. If the room you have chosen is no longer available, Mark will email you to determine your preferred second option.

A huge thank you to Mark for his support to the week-end and see you at Rancamaya!! … Tee Set

Sunday 15th April 2018 Jagorawi G&CC

Posted on April 17, 2018 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Sunday saw Tee Set head down the Jagorawi Toll to JGCC. With Round 2 of the JIL taking place, we could take advantage of the attractive new rates being offered this year as well as enjoy what is an excellent course. A strong turnout of 41 players for JGCC showed the attraction of the course with numbers boosted by another healthy group of 5 newcomers and several welcome backs.

A warm Tee Set welcome to Christine Lie, Arnold Castillon, Donald Blake, Ryan McPhee and Zachary Hosler. We also welcomed back Tetty Artatie after 96 weeks, Owen Evans after 38 weeks, Albert Arcenas and Neil Mullins  after 20 weeks and Rusty Witwer after 17 weeks.  We look forward to seeing everyone back soon.

The course was in good shape, playing firm but not as fast on the greens as it can be which helped everyone return reasonable putting stats even if we did not count putting scores for the Monster Putter or Low Putts due to some Tee Setters participating in the JIL Match Play games.

The weather was excellent for this time of year with only a light breeze and full sunshine so we could enjoy our round uninterrupted by rain. However, it also seemed that some groups were either enjoying the weather a little too much or ran into some playing difficulties as a backlog occurred quite early in the round for the Tee Set groups and this rather took away from what was otherwise a good day. Apologies to those who got caught and we will look at arrangements for next month to ensure things go more smoothly next time.

With totally 71 players there for Tee Set and JIL combined, VP Ric Wymer was kept busy organizing all the groups and conducting the announcements and presentations afterwards. A big thank you to Ric and to our Secretary, Brenda Mayland, who handled all the registrations and scoring on the day smoothly as always.

The Play

Neil Mullins on a return visit from Australia showed some rustiness off the tee to join fellow returnee Rusty Witwer and Ian Butcher in the Skirt photo. Jagorawi is a tricky challenge and we had a 6 way tie for Most Strokes between Albert Arcenas, Arthur Mallari, Bill Lloyd, Jens Roestel, Rosie Putri and newcomer Zachary Hosler who all had 10 strokes on a hole.

Both Neil and Zachary were able to recover their fine through the skill prizes by sharing First Birdie on hole 2 whilst First Sandy was also shared by Lim Jongwha and the Singing President Craig Ewers for their efforts on the first hole. Most Improved was Jeff Durham with a 7 stroke improvement over his two 9’s whilst Low Gross went to Arne Tjaden for his 85 off the stick.

 

Low Net honours for the day were shared by Richie Tiblani in A Grade for his net 72, Tony  Howarth with the best net of the day 69 to take B Grade and Rusty Witwer in C Grade for his net 79.

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who came out on Sunday where despite the support, the JIL slumped to another 10 – 0 loss, this week to Pocksia, so its back to the drawing board for Captain Roger Finnie to think about the next round in May.

 

Next Up: Pangkalan Jati 12pm Sunday 22nd April 2018

Next Sunday sees us with a split event week-end as 17 Tee Setters and families head to Bali to represent Tee Set in Battle Royale III as we seek to retain the cup won last year whilst for those not travelling and looking for the regular Tee Set outing, we head to our former home course, Pangkalan Jati.

Jagorawi: Sunday 15th April 2018 Shotgun Start @ 9.30am

Posted on April 12, 2018 by rogerfinnie

This year we are holding our regular Sunday events at Jagorawi on those weeks when Inter-League is being played. This Sunday we therefore take the short trip down the Jagorawi Toll for our second visit of the year to Jagorawi Golf & Country Club. JGCC is an excellent test of golf and always in great condition.

Sunday’s event is open to all Tee Set players and we will select the Inter-League team from those who have signed up to play on Sunday. JIL Tee Set Team members who have confirmed their availability are therefore requested to also sign up as usual and please bring your Green Tee Set shirt for playing in.

It is a rare morning start at 9.30am which may challenge those out late on Saturday night but there is the attraction of an early return home too. 2 added benefits for this Sunday:

(1) There is a 10% discount on F&B in the club house on JIL match days this year; and

(2) We have some discounted vouchers for green fees courtesy of Richard Mau and the team at Hotel JS Luwansa. The price for the vouchers is Rp525,000 which will be collected by Roger Finnie or Brenda on the day. Please come and find us to collect/pay in cash for the voucher before you register with the Club. When you then register you will need to pay the Club for the cart & caddy fee but overall you will save around Rp180,000 on the published rate for the day of Rp950,000. Even if you are late the Rp950,000 fee still represents a good discount from last year thanks to the efforts of the JIL Committee. Please note the course has just limited us to 24 vouchers for Sunday so first come first served.

Please plan to be there and ready to play in good time as we will go off as a shotgun start at 9.30am.

If you are interested to join us please sign up here to register.

Sunday 8th April 2018 Imperial Golf Klub

Posted on April 9, 2018 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Imperial is one of those courses on our rota which many Tee Setters come to enjoy playing after a few experiences and Sunday saw us heading down the Tangerang Toll for our second visit of the year after a hiatus in 2017. Perhaps reflecting that, this week saw no newcomers after a few weeks of strong new arrivals. We also had only  1 welcome back of note with Jess Kindler joining us after 78 weeks.

Our group of 26 regulars were warmly greeted by the marketing team who efficiently registered us in and with the starter ensuring the groups in front of us went out on time, we were able to start promptly at 12pm.

The weather was dry with a strong wind most of the afternoon and whilst a thunderstorm threatened, we were lucky it skirted us so our umbrellas were only out for a few minutes, mostly it seemed to keep the caddies dry. The course played relatively firm and the tricky undulations on fast greens ensured we returned some monster putters and only 3 players beating their handicaps on the day.

With the groups ahead moving at a good pace, we were finished well before 5pm and the prize giving completed before dark thus enabling most people to enjoy an extra refreshment or return home a little earlier, as preferred.

A thank you to Brenda for managing all the registrations and scoring on the day as well as taking some photos which can be found here.

The Play

With VP Ric Wymer scoring a trifecta of the booby prizes of Monster Putter, Most Strokes and a skirt we took one photo with all the accessories before capturing a second photo of Ric with our 4 other skirt winners, Craig Edwards, Jess Kindler, Lim Jongwha and Mick Dodsworth.

Richard Bolton won Most Improved for his 13 shot lower back 9 and Lim Jongwha recovered his fine with the First Sandy prize for his effort on hole 13. Tony Howarth won Low Putts for his mastery of the greens in needing only 30 putts whilst Daniel Brown and Rudie Basson shared First Birdie for their efforts on hole 3.

  

Craig Edwards also recovered his skirt fine in taking home Low Net B with his net 71 where he was joined by Dirk Kruip Low Net C after his net 76 and Mark Fiorello who recorded our best gross and net score of the day to take home Low Net A with an impressive net 67. Low Gross honours went to Ian Butcher for his 83 off the stick.

In the sole match-play on the day, the Singing President came back on the last hole to halve his match with Matthew Powell. With a few weeks remaining in the first knock-out round they decided to live to fight another day rather than having a play off. A reminder to everyone still in the match-play to get in touch with your opponent to schedule your matches and then to send the result into James Ross to officially record it.

Congratulations to all our winners on the day and the summary scoring can be found here.

Next Up: Jagorawi G&CC 9.30AM Sunday 15th April 2018

This year we are holding our regular Sunday events at Jagorawi on those weeks when Inter-League is being played. This Sunday we therefore take the short trip down the Jagorawi Toll for our second visit of the year to Jagorawi Golf & Country Club. JGCC is an excellent test of golf and always in great condition.

Sunday’s event is open to all Tee Set players and we will select the Inter-League team from those who have signed up to play on Sunday. JIL Tee Set Team members who have confirmed their availability are therefore requested to also sign up as usual and please bring your Green Tee Set shirt for playing in.

It is a rare morning start at 9.30am which may challenge those out late on Saturday night but there is the attraction of an early return home too. 2 added benefits for this Sunday:

(1) There is a 10% discount on F&B in the club house on JIL match days this year; and

(2) We have some discounted vouchers for green fees courtesy of Richard Mau and the team at Hotel JS Luwansa. The price for the vouchers is Rp525,000 which will be collected by Roger Finnie or Brenda on the day. Please come and find us to collect/pay in cash for the voucher before you register with the Club. When you then register you will need to pay the Club for the cart & caddy fee but overall you will save around Rp180,000 on the published rate for the day of Rp950,000. Even if you are late the Rp950,000 fee still represents a good discount from last year thanks to the efforts of the JIL Committee.

Please plan to be there and ready to play in good time as JIL will go off as a shotgun start at 9.30am with Tee Set’s regular players to follow.

If you are interested to join us please sign up here to register.

For those wishing to learn more about the Jakarta Inter-League event please read this page on our website which gives some good insight to it and contains the 2017 report of the matches. If you are interested in playing for the Tee Set team and have not already informed us, please let Roger Finnie (whatsapp +62 811 389 1350) or Ric Wymer know a.s.a.p..

Battle Royale III: 20th – 22nd April in Bali:

Still need 4 more players if you can join

The dates for Battle Royale III have now been locked in as 20th to 22nd April 2018 and it is to be played at Handara Golf Club, up in the mountains of Bali. We are looking to have a team of at least 16 players as we seek to defend the trophy won last year at Cengkareng but there is no limit as Par 5 Club will match our team numbers.

We have secured an excellent package which covers 3 rounds of golf (2 Saturday and 1 Sunday in the match), 2 nights B&B on the course, a Saturday night function and Sunday prize giving lunch. There are different rooming options but the cost is under Rp5m per head for a single rooming golfer and under Rp4m per head 2 golfers sharing. For those with non-playing partners then the extra charge will be around Rp750,000 on top of the single player cost.

Flights, drinks and Friday night dinner will be on top. Additional golf on Friday or Monday and additional accommodation is available.

More details on the schedule and the pricing based on the options selected will be shared to those who are interested in joining. For now, Captain Nick Gleeson needs to know who is interest in joining and any extra requests so please go here to register your interest.

Finna Golf Club, Surabaya

Tee Set would be interested to organize a week-end visit to Finna later in the year. The trip would need a coordinator so if there is anybody interested in putting up their hand to take on this role please contact a member of the Committee and let them know.
