The World Cup of Golf at Jags New

Posted on June 5, 2024 by mgfu

Well, this picture may not look like a cup but this was what we were playing for. San Mig the great brew from the Phillipines now available here alongside the great old classic Anker. TeeSet is very thankful for the sponsorship provide by Dan and his team at PT Delta Djakarta Tbk. Also sponsoring the event was Dean Merrilees a big thank you for that also.

We had a full field of 24 teams a nd speed of play was important. The Kilted Warriors disappeared into the distance first off the 10th and were home just on 4 hours. The rest took their time, particularly the Napoleonians who disappeared into the background after 1 hole behind the Melburnians. A little bit of rough weather saw a short delay for any team on the course after 4.10pm. Most importantly all were finished before dark and now it was up to the scoring Maestro to do his magic. Thanks everyone who sent me their score cards they went no further, as I was busy looking for my balls. Following instructions is not a strong suit of TeeSetters, we are social golfers and things just miraculously get organised by the Golf Fairy.

Rather than me waffling along about all the trials and tribulations that the teams experienced on the field, shopping trips, slips, thins, fats, clunks, birdies and eagles let’s just enjoy photos from the day and some smart arse comments where appropriate.

The Low Net champions. I am pretty sure Bill snuck all the beer into his bag and headed for the door leaving teammates empty handed. Well done on the Net 201, Richard, Bill, Mark and David.

Equal second place net goes to the Canadian Avro Arrows, most who pre-dated the Avro Arrow by a decade or two but have outlasted it. Then we have the team of dubious backgrounds, Invicta. Now those of you with a Latin language background will realise that invicta is a feminine singular noun.

Well done to the mob from AA; Andrew, Tom, Robbie & Craig. Thumbs up to the team of Invicta; Jude, Diarmuid, Patrick & Alessandro, well done girls.

Low Gross winners were the Red & White team, a scoring glitch meant that they missed out on a prize but we were lucky enough to get a team photo of them earlier, well done boys with a pretty handsome 236 off the stick. Pin Up boys for Weight Watchers International. We are saving up for your prize be there this Sunday to get it.

Early winners but knocked off when the machine kicked out the right info on Monday morning. Well done to Eric, Olivier, Nicolas & Antoine on second place

The luckiest lads the boys from Nations United. There was no prize for 3rd place gross but on the night they were second and these guys did Asia Pacific proud. Viboon, Gavin, John and an absent Daniel.

Jon from Aussie Crawl nails one down the middle for a 300 metre drive. Well done. You can never have enough sprinkler heads to bounce off on a fairway. This must have happened early in play as the boys from AC were a bit unruly when spotted latter on the course.

Andrew will be taking this to his next AA reunion. A Nice Aussie wine for nearest the pin. 60cm which is about 2 foot in the old imperial measurements, when the Brits still had an empire, all they have now is a antiquated system of weights and measurements. I digress, well done Andrew.

Kayla takes Ladies long drive 270 metres and nearest the pin 70cm. Later on to add to her prizes a carton of San Mig. On Friday it was a flight to Bali win. Party on Kayla.

Best Dressed Team

Best dressed team went to the Nelis who should have stayed in the kitchen.

More photos can be seen here

Things were buzzing in the clubhouse pre game.

The Aussie Battlers getting their first beer order in. It wasn’t their last.

The most romantic team Suamistri

The Japanese/Indonesian team looking more Japanese.

The dour Brits, not very photogenic is about all I have to say.

The Jockindos who went very close to best dressed and so much more photogenic than the lads above.

The ladies of TeeSet, less a few who missed this photo.

On the putting juice.

Yep, still dour.

These duffers missed their tram, their fairways, their putts and their mushrooms. A soulless performance.

Gavin nails an eagle to keep the Nations United in it. Cracking achievement.

The final Standings

Well that ends The World Cup roundup. You can click on the link above for more photos. A special thanks for Roger for organising the teams, handicaps and scoring. Social golf is only successful with blokes like him. Thanks for the Singing President for helping with the lucky draws.

A special thanks to all the special people who asked me during the lucky draw what were they winning a bottle for. Yes you are very special. Lastly a special thanks for all the golfers who made the day such a great success. We look forward to seeing you next Sunday.

Kojo Monthly Medal

Posted on May 31, 2024 by mgfu
San Miguel Light 330ml

This will be a very brief report due to a couple of things. 1 being vey busy at the moment; 2 off to play golf in the Josef Fuchs memorial today.

A small but highly skilled and competitive field turned out for Sunday’s Monthly Medal. Ex-President Thwaites was keen to get amongst the beers early but a stern warning from current President left him dry not high. Big Ed was amongst his cups well before tee. I had overindulged the evening before at Poksia and polished the evening off with a few large whiskies left me in a particularly fragile state of both mind and body.

What happened that day well the first 9 was pretty slow. Diarmuid chipped in fro a second hole birdie which he convinced himself that would put him in the money. Several hours later we had a dirty Diarmuid at the presentations. Alessandro had a wonderful round of bogie golf. Missing 1 metre putts to nail the bogie in effortless fashion. Many of the bogies were achieved playing from parallel fairways. So if you are looking to be a bogie golfer always consider using other fairways besides the one the club presents for you. It’s not how you get to the hole it’s how you bogie the hole. Alessandro had an issue it seems with a stump/root no relief, no relief no root.

A well placed shot on the 5th by Diarmuid saw him up against the face of a fairway bunker. This will stuff him and maybe even break a wrist or at least an iron I thought as I calmly put my second shot in the water from a very good lie. Diarmuid takes his 7 iron clunks it out of the bunker straight as a die 140 metres. Heard about that shot for quite awhile. To make matters worse he nailed the sandy par. And picked up cash mainly due to Richard forgetting to tell Adhe about his earlier sandy par. Remember folk you need to tell Adhe about these achievements if you want the money and your photo in this illustrious publication.

Some who’s photo we will be seeing a bit later is one Bill Lloyd, a golfer I saw hacking his way around this course on Saturday. His early departure Saturday evening saw him fresh and raring to go Sunday and go he did tearing up the course like it was a mini golf layout. Hitting it long pitching and putting display that had to be seen to be believed and taking the coin from his playing partners.

To the winners

Bill takes the MM and the biscuits for low putts 29 with the flat stick and a net 65 woohoo go Billy Biscuits.

the birdie Twins, Jens & Simon, on the first hole 1&10 and low gross to Simon with a gross 75. I think we’ll have him off the blacks next month.

Sam slams one down the middle for long drive 243m. Boom

Siti takes the ladies long drive with a booming 130m down the middle

Jude takes nearest the pin 6.30 metres from the hole to put himself in 3 putt range. Well done.

Diarmuid takes the lolly for a wonderful Sandy par on the 5th Alessandro made a bogie.

Two weirdos spotted on the course. If you see them stay well clear.

World Cup of Golf Jagorawi June 2nd

The day we have been waiting for. Please read the information below carefully.

With 96 players speed of play is important – please keep up. Everyone is playing their own ball stroke play. We need a gross score only for each hole for each player. Best 3 net scores and best 3 gross scores on each hole will count to the team score, on a hole by hole basis. If you have 3 good counting scores and a blow out, the blow out can pick up. Men play from whites/Ladies from Reds. Team prizes for Best Net teams 1/2/3 & Best Gross teams 1/2 + best dressed team. LD (m+w) on 9 and NTP on 11 as individual prizes & a small lucky draw. Please register by 11.30 so we can load carts for a prompt shot gun start as soon after 12pm as our starting holes are free. Rp200k to be paid to Adhe on registration. Any questions please ask Roger or myself

To speed up scoring after the round, captains are asked to send a copy of the score card to Adhe after 6 holes are completed and after 12 holes are completed. Details to be briefed on Sunday …

A special thanks to Dan Xavier and his team at PT Delta Djakarta Tbk, the brewer of Indonesia’s finest beers, for sponsoring the World Cup Prizes this year

Below are the teams and the starting hole. Once again speed of play on Sunday is essential. There will also be a poll for the best dressed team on Sunday via a Whatsapp poll. Be fair and vote for the team you considered to be the best attired.

Aloha

Imperial Karawaci Sunday May 19th 2024

Posted on May 22, 2024 by mgfu

TeeSet were joined by the DOGS on Sunday due to a comp preventing them from playing on the previous day. TeeSet was set up on the back verandah of the clubhouse overlooking the 18th green. Golfers were spread randomly across the room. Adhe strategically positioned to collect the fees of incoming golfers.

It was good to see the return of Sam Westen. Jens & Shinta were there after a brief US vacation. Axel was there enquiring mischievously about my health. Steve from the hash showed up as did the elder lady of hash Rosita. The room started to fill as the warm up wowsers returned from the driving range and the usual late golfers arrived. Yep you guessed it, Allesandro and Diarmuid, the two most likely golfers to be late to their own funerals.

Having a chat with John Brown and a couple of others we remarked that it looked like it was going to ba pretty hot Sunday on the course. John referring to his handheld device said it would steadily cool before becoming overcast at 4pm. John, pay for the subscription. After 2 holes down came the rain and we were forced to seek shelter from the deluge. The rain abated after 15 minutes and it was back to the task at hand.

Before we go on this weeks music theme. Hit the play button

Back to the game we had a shotgun start and away we went and a very good pace all day taking 4.30hrs not bad for a field of 56. I was in the same flight as Richard, Axel & Ian, and we were having a private matchplay hence the choice of the video above. It started fairly even, with the 26 handicapper landing his drive 5 or 10 metres in front of the single figure lads. A quick chat not to give too much away, saw on the next hole a well placed ball in the water. Ian and Axel were grinning. Par 5 I drive on to the cart path followed with an iron straight into the back of a tree, which was rectified by a nice rescue just shy of the green, Axel chips in for birdie, I putt for bogie, hole squared. Do the hustle.

Starting the back 9 our foes edged a head and the hunt was on.

The video was shot at the 11th tee box.

Axel and Ian nice drives down the middle of the fairway. Me, once again on the cart path, Richard in the tree line on the right. My second shot clips a tree, third shot lands short of the green. Ian fails to get his ball up the hill on the green and is looking at a long uphill putt for birdie, Richard in a similar position on the right of green. Axel nails his 3rd to within 4 or 5 foot of the hole. My 4th leaves a 6 foot+ uphill putt. In it goes, par beats Axel’s birdie. Everyone, let’s do The Hustle! The look on our opponents faces was priceless. I am now off their Xmas card list. But best of all they won’t be voting me to continue as President, no more 4 more years from these two.

The match swung to and fro a magical shot out of the rough by Richard saw us extend the led to 2 with 3 to play. A sandy par on the 17th from the deepest bunker on the course saw Sandbagger Seabrook with Ever Steady Mau taking the chocolates with 3 up 2 to play. Yes I am a crap golfer but I do have a few moments from time to time.

Prizes

Only a few today as DOGS were handing out a bunch also and there was valuable drinking time being wasted if presentations took too long.

Our man Daniel, stalwart of the Matchplay Team takes low nett with a pretty handy 67

Ian on #3 takes the first birdie money. Well done.

Here’s a picture of the President with all of his friends. First Sandy on #8

That’s it for prizes this week read the DOGS blog for other winners. I know we had TeeSet Sam taking the low Gross and R. Mau a close second.

Last week at JIL

TeeSet got pumped by Jaws. The only good news is that Daniel Park remains undefeated as does our pair of Seabrook/Ure. We expect better things next month with both Captain & Vice Captain back in town. Still plenty of time to climb the ladder to success. Gremilins in WordPress failed to launch last weeks report.

Kojo Monthly Medal Cengkareng Sunday 25

Make sure you sign up for the monthly medal this Sunday and join some of Jakarta’s finest golfers as they battle it out in this Stroke Play Classic. Cengkareng also has the best wind down atmosphere after a day on the greens, and their happy hour deals are to die for!

LONG LIVE THE GREAT VICTORY OF THE VICTORIOUS TEESET MATCHPLAY TEAM.

Posted on May 8, 2024 by mgfu

Some of you may not have recognised the close similarity the President has with Kim Il Song, but it was blind determination that saw the Teeset team turn back the imperialist D.O.G.S. for a rousing victory. I learnt a lot from my golfing holiday to the Hermit Kingdom, Juche!

Inspirational it was, DOGS having had 5 weeks honing their game and pre-selecting their team. But we knew that every heart beats true for the TeeSet crew and side by side we stick together and in any weather you will see us with a grin risking head and shin, if we’re behind then never mind, we’ll fight and fight and win! 11/9 down to the wire, some good luck and bad luck was experience by both teams. As they same the cream always rises to the top and so was the case for this famous victory. So this Sunday when you see the team let them know how happy you are with their performance, as once more the team ventures forth onto the fields of battle to joust with last years JIL champions JAWS. You know we will always fight for victory and we will always see it through, premiers we’ll be this year.

Enough of the nationalistic hoo ha it is just social golf. The weekend at ranch a may was a great couple of days a little bit of team uniform mix up with both teams choosing yellow and a couple


The two teams and two winners in Tom & Cucu

The frustrated top dog with two blokes who came dressed to play for another team that weren’t there then played on the team that came a close second. Yellow was the colour.

The Team Ian &Axel, Anirudh & Holger, Vijay & Bobby, David & Daniel, Simone & JP, Gary &

Sari, Tom & Cucu, Geoff & Michael, Ezra & Bill, Diarmuid & Roberto. Forever part of TeeSet history, forever known as The Victorians.

The charity raffle organise by TeeSet raised Rp 13 million for the orphans with a bottle of Vodka raising 3 million extra in an auction run by Bill Lloyd with a raffle bottle re-donated by Geoff ” I’m on the wagon” Thwaites and bought by David B. The orphans love ya all. Thanks to the donations from Mayapada, Schlumberger, Asian Tigers, Dean Merrilees & David Moore. Another 14 million was raised on the Sunday scramble through fees and mulligans. A great weekend and remember we join the DOGS again at the end of June when we co-host a weekend at Krakatoa. (see last weeks post for details)

World Cup of Golf at Jagorawi 2nd of June

We are happy to say that we have a full field, a few teams are missing a player of two, so you may have a chance of signing on as an individual. Send us your name ASAP so we can put you on a list. It will be a great day with great prizes. Get to work on your uniforms.

Jakarta Interleague and TeeSet at Jagorawi on the 12th of May

We have great looking team this Sunday led by our captain Sam, Gurtke, Thwaites, Ure, Seabrook, Park, Viboon & Arcenas.

We hope to see a lot of other TeeSetters there on Sunday offering your support and enjoying a round of golf. The rainy season is behind us hard fairways and fast greens ahead.

I was having a chat on Saturday with young Axel, a golfer whose services we were lucky enough to procure for the Matchplay event. He asked me how things were and I said fine. Axel then pointed out that he and most other TeeSet members were very appreciative of the efforts of the committee. I was most appreciative of this show of support and said to Axel that the committee, as a group, makes things happen and you shouldn’t be afraid of getting involved as it is a team effort. Thanks Axel.

On On TeeSet

Kojo Monthly Medal at Cengkareng

Posted on May 2, 2024 by mgfu

A smaller than usual monthly medal turnout last Sunday. A bit of a clash with a big Pocksia turnout on Saturday with a long warm down event at Hitoshi and Velma’s house may have led to a slight drop off in numbers. But there was a keen number of golfers and the course looked quiet. 8 flights with a couple of matchplays being completed on the last day before the cut off. The greens were in a rather interesting condition. Looks like some of the Riverside blight may have arrived. The expert team at Cengkareng will soon have at under control.

The weather was perfect overcast but not dark, hot but not blazing midday hot. Starting in the last group i got to see all the others tee off. Vijay was most impressive in group 1, as he should be having played there the previous 5 days. There was a flight of beginners at the teebox before TeeSet set off and the cry of Fore was heard as each player teed off. This may have led to a slow round but a slow round it was. 5 hours, nursing a sore head from the night before I teed up with Dean and Riccardo. Dean was nursing a sore head and body and was in an electric cart. The game started slowly with the trees being punished for being in the wrong place. At the swing things had started to improve and as the sun faded the scoring improved. Good to see Riccardo back and his driving and pitching was much improved. His putting on the other hand needs a bit of work.

Let’s get down to the day’s winners as there is a bit of housekeeping that needs the scribes attention later in this report, and your attention when you read it.

Jason was this month’s Medal winner. With a net 68. A game well played I saw some great tee shots from Jason and he capped the win off with a victory over Claudio in the Matchplay.

Low gross was Mr Mau with a handy 78 off the stick.

First birdie and low putts to Nic. These prizes fall in the new tax year.

Mr Skills, Simon takes long drive and nearest the pin. Well done.

Axel with first Sany on the last hole. Two thumbs up to that effort.

Rancamaya Charity weekend with the D.O.G.S.

We have nearly a full field on Saturday when 20 of TeeSet’s finest do battle with the D.O.G.S.

The D.O.G.S. have taken the last 5 weeks to sharpen their game up against the early pace setters in the Jakarta Interleague comp. The skill and coolness under intense competition should be enough to see off the opposition. If you are in the TeeSet Team please wear the 2022 yellow TeeSet Shirt.

This is a charity day so please buy tickets to support the Orphans. 1 ticket for Rp100k or 3 for Rp200k. Some great prizes kindly donated by Bill from Asian Tigers, Dean, Nic, TeeSet and myself. Thanks guys for going the xtra yard for the kids.

If you are not playing in the matchplay you will be in the DOGS regular Saturday comp and can win the prizes that have each week, which are always good. The fee for Saturday is Rp100k and will be collected by the D.O.G.S.

Sunday we have a charity Scramble where the fee is Rp200k with it all going to help those Orphans. If you have a team let Rod know or he will place you with the other orphans. I got placed. The format is a Florida Scramble. This being the shot that the team chooses to played is played by everyone except the player who put the ball there. Rules will be further explained on the weekend. Great prizes for the winning teams.

JIL TeeSet Hosts at Imperial

Posted on April 25, 2024 by mgfu

Not a lot to say about last Sunday’s JIL except the mighty TeeSetters went down 6 and 4 to the Sandbaggers. A couple of late withdrawals led to a few last minute shuffles to field the team. The usual suspects won and a couple of slow starts left the others running out of holes but we all fought to the end.The team sits 1 point adrift of the leaders but there is plenty of time and plenty of fire in the belly of the team to get the job done. Hoorick Hoorah TEESETTERS

A big thanks to VC Dean and his team on Geoff, Steve, Vincent, Craig, Peter, Doug & Mike.

We play last year’s champions next round so they will have their hands full as we bring TeeSet pressure to the fore.

For those playing in the TeeSet day we saw an outstanding performance from Irene who carded a most impressive 66 net. Irene will be happy to hear we have a few more games ahead at Imperial during the course of the season. Other prizes below.

Gading Raya Mudik Bliss

Posted on April 18, 2024 by mgfu

No folks this was not the mob fighting their way to Gading Raya to join TeeSet. It was the mob that each lunar calendar marking the Holy Day of Idul Fitri embark on the second largest seasonal migration of humankind. It is also a season where city folk take flash manufactured biscuits to the villages of their grandparents and return with a staggering array of krupuks and kripiks and other traditional snacks.

Back to the golf, Gading was pretty empty last Sunday morning as Jakarta empties out and expats take advantage of the long break to head home or to Bali. A big mistake this is when Jakarta is at its best. No traffic low,pollution, drinking beer out of coffee mugs and cheap golf on uncrowded courses. A few late cancellations meant some late rejigs but the course said we could tee off when ready. So the first group off tee box 10 was away before 11.30. It was a very quick round even with Gading getting up to their old tricks of slipping in a flight or two on the swing. The greens were in reasonable knick but a bit slow with most needing a trim. This is the usual case this time of the years as courses take time to work the greens whilst playing numbers are low.

Conditions were hot at the start, like oven hot but as the day progressed the temp dropped and a thunderstorm cheekily threatened to rain upon TeeSet but was seen off. The round produced some very good scores and most found the greens playable. A bit of a sorehead so off to the prizes and other stuff

Other Stuff

Siti, Rey, Sri & Juju ready to tear it up at Gading Raya

The sign says no smoking, drinking water is not encouraged at TeeSet warm downs.

A few of the golfers headed to Sale for a feed and a few drinks. TeeSet camaraderie

The Winners

Best Stableford Nic with 39. Seems Mr. Moore had a 39 also and mentions of a count back? Anyways we will fix it at Imperial well done to Nic and David

Well done Richard on taking low gross with a handy 78 off the stick and a lovely birdie to finish the round.

First sandy par to David on the 6th with a lovely pin hitting chip.

Joe with his range finder was always going to be hard to beat in the low putts. Well done on 27 slaps with the flat stick.

The First Lady prises the money out of Nic’s hand for first birdie on the 3rd hole.

What’s Coming Up?

Jakarta Interleague this Sunday at Imperial. Vice- Captain Dean will shortly announce the team for Sunday as we do battle to retain top spot on the Table.

A visit to Pangkalan Jati

Posted on April 10, 2024 by mgfu

No we weren’t playing on a course by the sea we were playing PJs. The golf course that is the pride of the Indonesian Navy. Money has been spent on carts and drink stops and some cart paths but the fairways were the usual PJ stuff the rough was a bit clingy but the greens were very nice after playing through Ramadan on cored and heavily sanded greens. These greens were pretty bloody good. The beer price at the drink stops was as close to perfect as possible I may start drinking at the drink stop on the 7th a bit cheaper then the B&V and EP. Maybe rockets to the top of the Albert Beer Index Chart.

The usual PJ delaying system of not being able to pay before 11am in case we try and sneak on for morning prices. Let’s put it this way there were maybe 20 others at the golf course at this time, including GAry Milburn’s father. An elite field of TeeSetters took to the course with hopes of great scores, elusive eagles but in the knowledge that they were in good companionship with their TeeSet brothers and sisters. Vijay was in the FIRST flight and he was a different person. Not because of the flight but the lack of hair, a completely hairless orb. It might catch on but I doubt it.

The day started well with 4 great opening drives from Dean, Ex-President Thwaites, Alberto and myself. They were so good Dean mentioned that we may as well return to the shed as they would be hard to improve on. How right he was, in my case. Bad shots were bookended with course language, the sort of language an Indonesian sailor would use. The day got hotter and hotter, the group in front moved further away, my shots moved further away from the fairway. Man it has hot, Dean was huffing and puffing, Geoff was checking his pill supply, Alberto was checking his reflection. On the 7th hole of the day I checked the temperature and it was birds falling out of the sky hot.

In Perth, which can also get pretty hot you have the Fremantle Doctor which hits the coast mid afternoon on most summer days. In Jakarta we have the cloud build up and after a couple of holes on the back 9 the temp hand become bearable. Our pace quickened and our spirits were lifted as we faced the final 6 holes. Then I started swearing again as the 3rd double par was etched into MyGolf2u forever. It was a hard slog but we made it back in one piece. My ball bag had taken a beating but.

The first groups were well into their cups or mandi time. I order what was first to be one of quite a few cold cleansing Bintang pilsners (unfortunately no Anker). Soon all were gathered and the winners were announced.

Low gross on the left, Alberto and low net on the right, Jens. Well done lads Hang on also first bird on 2 for Alberto and a Sandy par on 10 for Jens

Low putts for Geoff wink, wink, nudge, nudge say no more.

Gading Raya this Sunday sign up on MyGolf2U will be an absolute cracker greens in post Ramadan perfection. Don’t delay sign up today to avoid disappointment.

Things to put in your Calander
