Matoa Nasional Sunday 12th November 2017

Posted on November 9, 2017 by rogerfinnie

Next Sunday sees us head to Matoa Nasional for a practice round ahead of the Tee Set Championships which will be held 2 weeks afterwards. DOGS are playing at the same venue on Sunday and so we will coordinate our 11.30am tee times so as to have a smooth tee off arrangement for both groups.

If you are interested to join for the reasonable price of Rp650k including cart please sign up here.

Tee Set Championships: Sign ups are OPEN

As this Sunday is our practice round that means the Tee Set Championship is now just over 2 weeks away, taking place on 26th November 2017 at Matoa Nasional Golf Course.

A 6am breakfast and registration followed by a 7am shot-gun start leaves us plenty of time afterwards for food, a few beverages and to party the afternoon and evening away with the band after we have recognized the major winners of the day, the Tee Set Match-play and Eclectic winners for 2017 and for the iron-man/woman efforts of those regular players during the year.

The event is always popular and we are limited to 100 players on the day. The last few years have seen a high demand for places at the premier event in our calendar so you are recommended to sign up quickly as places are available on a first come first served basis.

To secure your place please register to play by going to the simple form you will find here and filling it in. We would prefer for each individual player to complete their own form, however, there is provision to register more than 1 player if you so wish. If you are registering more than 1 player then please make sure that they have agreed that you will sign them up and that you advise us of their FULL NAME and shirt size.

A brief run-down of the day:

  • 6 amRegistration and Bloody Marys’ on tap to warm you into the day
  • 6.45amGroup Photo at the front of the club house
  • 7am Shot-gun start: Hot Dogs provided by Hot Head and Smoothies from Asia Serv available on the course
  • 12.30pm-ish – Lunch including lamb kebabs and craw fish on the side with beers, wine and the frozen margarita machine keeping everybody refreshed and hydrated
  • Prize ceremony
  • Party the afternoon away thanks to the Singing President and his band
  • Monday morning……..best arrange important meetings for the afternoon!

After 2 years of being able to hold the price of the day down through having sufficient funds in hand to subsidize the event, the reality of fewer players during the year and some cost increases is that the event charge on the day will be Rp1.2m. We believe this still represents exceptional value for a full day of golf, fun and your goodie bag including the 2017 Tee Set Shirt and cap. We are discussing with Matoa for a price adjustment for Matoa members and juniors and will pass on the savings accordingly to the relevant players.

A big thank you to our sponsors for the day and who support Tee Set through-out the year (as of writing):

  • Gold Sponsors: Asian Tigers, Kojo, Samson Tiara, Hotel Luwansa, Asia Serv, Hot-Hed and Schenck Process
  • Silver Sponsors: Fugro, Ben Lines
  • Bronze Sponsors: Bintang Subsea

Lastly, and on a similar vein, we are always looking for additional sponsors for door prizes or more and so if you are able to offer some gifts or other form of sponsorship please let Ric Wymer or Roger Finnie know as soon as possible.

We will confirm further details closer to the Championships to registered players.

See you at the Championships!!

Sunday 5th November 2017 BSD

Posted on November 7, 2017 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Sunday saw us return to BSD for the second time this year with 32 Tee Setters turning up to enjoy one of Jakarta’s premium venues. With a week-end tournament being played on Saturday and Sunday morning, the course was is much better condition than our last visit enabling several Tee Setters to return excellent results on the day as you will read below.

With the later start booked to enable the tournament to finish, the course arranged a shot-gun start across 8 holes making for a smooth round, completed in good time. Despite several rumblings from the heavens we were able to finish without any interruptions from rain or lightening which skirted the course through-out the afternoon.

One newcomer for the day, David O’Shea and a welcome back after 268 weeks to long time supporter of Tee Set, Jack Calcote. Also welcomed back after 51 weeks was David McNally.

The Play

The fine for Most strokes on a hole with 10 was taken by Rudie Basson with Kathy Scalabre and new-comer David O’Shea taking Monster Putter “honours” for their 42 putt efforts. Kathy was absent at the photo taking leaving David to be pictured with the monkey. Not to miss out on a photo opportunity, David also remained for the skirt picture where he was joined by Rudie and the Singing ex-President, Craig Ewers – more of Craig later in the post.

Mick Mongold was Low Putts on the day with an impressive 27 putts on the fast and underlating greens. 1st Birdie was shared by Stuart Wigley and Michael Bartsch for their 1st hole efforts and Divya Prakash Ahuja and President Roger Finnie shared 1st Sandy Par for their hole 7 up & downs. Last but no means least on the skill prizes was John Suermondt who won 1st Par for Handicaps >=30 for his par on hole 14.

Low Gross was won by Jeff Landau for an impressive 75 off the stick, just edging out Mark Blake on a count back. Craig Ewers turned his skirt into a sandy par on hole 17 on the way to a net 67 which won him Low Net B grade where he was joined by Ken Runyon Low Net A grade winner with a net 66 and a decidedly “worse for ware” Brett Shields who managed to put aside an aching head to win Low Net C grade with a net 69.

With the Championship coming up VP Ric Wymer was cleaning out the stocks from 2016 and so all the winners were also given a sleeve of Tee Set Balls in addition to the usual prize.

A thank you to Brenda for doing all the registrations and scoring on the day and safe travels for your holidays the next 3 weeks. Full results of the day are here and photos as usual here.

Next Up

Next Sunday sees us head to Matoa Nasional for a practice round ahead of the Tee Set Championships which will be held 2 weeks afterwards. DOGS are playing at the same venue on Sunday and so we will coordinate our 11.30am tee times so as to have a smooth tee off arrangement for both groups.

Sunday 29th October 2017: Padang Modern

Posted on October 30, 2017 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Sunday saw us return to Padang Modern for the October Monthly medal and as has become customary we had a semi-shot gun start off 5 holes at 12pm following the morning’s play albeit with fairly short notice. In addition to the Monthly Medal, Sunday also saw the final of the Match-Play played between Jari Antikainen and Tony Howarth and please read further below for the report.

Having set up for a 2 tee start, we got everybody up and out for our 12pm shot-gun to find the heavens opening up for a short burst of rain. However, by the time most people got half way down the first hole the rain had stopped and although it threatened a couple of times to return, we were able to finish without any interruptions. The subsequent muggy conditions must have slowed us down as the round was a slightly longer than normal taking over 5 hours and thus resulting in a quick shower and change being needed before the prize giving.

No new-comers this week, despite the contrary mentioned below, with Mark Blake after 65 weeks being our biggest welcome back, followed by Ronald Dimaculangan and Mark Mongold.

Although Halloween was almost upon us and despite the offer of a sponsors prize from Coach Ken Runyon, there were no takers on the dress up front. However Ken kindly donated the prize of a free hours golf lesson to be given to the highest grossing player on the day. Ken also offered a free 15 minute clinic to all Tee Set members so a huge thank you to Ken and his team at Accel Golf for their support. Please refer to the Classified Page for details on how to contact Ken to make your booking.

Match Play Final

Fresh off completing the Jakarta Half Marathon in the morning, Jari Antikainen, winner of the Kuning Bracket, took on Emas Bracket winner Tony Howarth in the final of the Tee Set Match-Play. A close game ensued with the finalists turning all square and the outcome still uncertain heading down the 18th fairway. Leading going into the final hole, Jari was able to get up and down for a safe par and secure the 2017 Match-Play Championship 2-Up. Congratulations to Jari for his victory and to Tony for reaching the final. Their trophies will be awarded at the Tee Set championships and a big thank you to James Ross for his smooth running of the event again this year.

The (Rest of the) Play

The prize of 1 hour’s free golf lesson went to Andrew Chee for his 117 strokes on the day, compensating his full house of booby prizes which saw him also record Monster Putter (not awarded as less than 40 putts), Most Strokes (11) and a skirt. The skirt was shared with 4 others, Jaco Zaayman, Michael Seabrook, Ronald Dimaculangan and Rudie Basson.


Ronald, Most Improved with 11, and Michael, First Par for >=30 Handicap, both managed to off-set their skirt fines.

 

 

Joining them in the prize circle was serial Low Putts winner, Mark Johnson for his impressive 24 strokes with the flat stick and Best Gross winner Mark Blake for his 79 off the stick. First Birdie was awarded to joint winners David Baglivo and Roger Finnie for their effort on hole 3 and First Sandy went to Anna Wilson for her effort on hole 6.

Barbora Gaislerova (71), Mike Webb (73) and John Suermondt (70) won Low Net A, B  and C divisions, respectively, with John slipping out just before the prize giving and this missing out on his picture.

Nearest the Pin was won by Barbora for her effort which stopped 2m from the hole and Tony Howarth was able to console himself in taking home long drive for his 245m effort.

Last and by no means least, the Monthly Medal saw our 3rd repeat winner of 2017 with Arthur Mallari returning after his summer break from Tee Set golf to secure October’s honours with 40 points.

Congratulations to Arthur for taking home the monthly medal and Grand Slam Golf voucher. Detailed player by player results can be found here and all the photos of the day here.

Finally a thank you to Brenda for all her efforts in making the day run smoothly as usual.

Sunday 22nd October 2017: Pondok Cabe

Posted on October 24, 2017 by rogerfinnie

The Day

With 2 very popular golf events in Bali this week-end, Sunday’s game was always going to be a smaller affair with 21 Tee Setters turning up to join us at Pondok Cabe. The course was in good condition and the fairways relatively firm despite the recent on-set of the rainy season. Pleasantly, there was also not many other players out on the course so we were able to get off on-time and enjoyed a smooth 4 hour round. This meant that we were all safely in the clubhouse by the time some heavy droplets started to threaten the skies.

2 new-comers this week,  Ryan Douwes and Harun Pravanta, who were both given a warm Tee Set welcome and we were pleased to welcome back Ivan Byriel after 20 weeks.


A thank you to Brenda for all the arrangements during the week and the scoring on the day.

The Play

Whilst there were many good putting returns, led by President Roger Finnie’s 25 putts, at the other end of the putting table was new-comer Ryan Douwes who was recognized for his Monster Putter effort of 43 putts. Most strokes went to VP of almost Everthing, Ric Wymer, whilst a modest return of skirts resulted saw Andrew Chee, Ivan Byriel, John Suermondt and Richard Bolton digging into the Tee Set bag for their photos.

Daniel Brown was awarded 1st Sandy for his effort on hole 1 and also had Most Improved but with the 1 prize rule did not get to take home further winnings and with other potential winners already left this went unclaimed for this week. Ivan recouped his loses by sharing 1st Par for Handicaps =>30 with Renny Sperry for their efforts on hole 4.

Low Putts and 1st Birdie were won by winners in other categories so we were just left to recognize Fitrat Ameer for his excellent Gross 76 off the stick for Low Gross and the winners of the respective flights, Roger Finnie Low Net A, Glen Menyennett Low Net B and Richard Bolton Low Net C for their efforts of 75, 65 and 68, respectively.

 

More detailed results can be found here and photos of the day here.

Next Up: Monthly Medal Padang Modern

As usual for the last Sunday of the month we are back to Padang Modern for the monthly medal where Laurie O’Connor will be looking to retain the shield for another month as he defends the Monthly Medal.

Sunday 15th October 2017: Cengkareng World Cup R2

Posted on October 17, 2017 by rogerfinnie

The Day

Sunday saw us return to Cengkareng for the final round of the World Cup event. We arrived to slightly threatening winds and sky but the day remained dry and as usual it was a very enjoyable walk around the rolling fairways. Although we teed off pretty much on time,  the pleasant walk obviously was being enjoyed too much by some as we ended up being slightly slower going round this week albeit we all just finished in time.

Several changes to personnel in teams this week and quite a few extra players outside of the World Cup teams made for some additional administration but it was, as always, handled with the minimum of fuss by VP of almost Everything Ric Wymer and Secretary Brenda; a huge thank you to both of them for the organization over the 2 week-ends in making the event run smoothly.

Amongst the new players this week, we had 4 new-comers, Christian Sinz, Jack Fox, Sofie Bright and Desmond Wright. A warm welcome to each of them and we look forward to seeing you at future events. We also has a number of welcome backs of which Markus Veikkola (49 weeks) Mikko Koskivirta (45 weeks) and Chris Cromarty (31 weeks) were the most notable.

With both daily prizes and the overall  World Cup prizes to award we had a late finish in the club house rounded off by wishing Simon Reynolds a warm “au revoir” as he departs in a week to take up a new position as GM for Finna Golf course in Surabaya. Once Simon has settled in we will look to arrange a trip over to play I am sure.

The Play

Whilst the main event was the overall World Cup team event with the best 3 individual stableford  scores counting for the team, we also recognized several individual performances and results on the day.

Although hard and fast on the fairways, there were still some long carries from the Blue to the Red tees and so an impressive 8 skirts were recorded on a day. We managed capture most of them in the photo: Jaco Zaayman, Andrew Waite, Pekka Kiviola, Pascal Bekaert, King Tirto and Andrew Abram along with new-comers Markus Veikkola and Mikko Koskivirta.

First Birdie went to Stuart Wigley for his effort on hole 1, Low Putts to Desmond Wright for his 28 putts and First Sandy to Simon Reynolds for his double sandy effort on hole 5.


 

 

 

Best of the non-World Cup players was won by King Tirto for his net 72 effort for which he took home a bottle of wine donated by President Roger Finnie. Last of the individual prizes awarded on the day was shared between Anna Wilson and Wina Nugraha who both had 42 stableford points for their respective teams of UK and Srikandi1.

Best team scores on the day was won by Team UK of Simon Reynolds, Anna Wilson, Frank Wilson and Roger Finnie who each took home a bottle of wine for their team 109 points, just edging out Team Srikandi2 who scored 106 points on the day. Overall however the positions were reversed with Team Srikandi2 recording 195 points over the 2 days combined to win by 4 points from Team UK with Srikandi1 placing 3rd.


 

 

 

 

Final team placings are as above and the individual scores on the day here and as usual the photos of the day here.

Match-play

The match-play is down to the final with the departing Simon Reynolds sure to have played the winner having beaten Kunning finalist Jari Antikainen in the preliminary round and lost to Tony Horwath in the Emas bracket final. Good luck to both players and a reminder the match is due to be finished by 12th November so we can award the winners trophy at the Championship on 26th November.

Next Up: Pondok Cabe 22nd October 2017

Next Sunday see us return to Pondok Cabe for our second visit of the year. Whilst not the most challenging layout we play during the year, it is always a relaxed round and exceptionally good value both on the course and in the club house.
