C - HillitesThe Day

Tee Set knows how to fill a clubhouse!

Tee Set knows how to fill a clubhouse!

What a delight to drive for less than one hour in light traffic and have so much extra time to enjoy refreshments and lunch before hitting the course. And, to top it off, the drive back home was even quicker, although there was little to be in a hurry for with Star Deli closed for the start of Ramadan. Selamat Berpuasa to all our Muslim friends.

C- start of playCommittee members were a bit thin on the ground Sunday despite it being perhaps the most popular course on our schedule with just the Vice President of Exotic Drinks and the Assistant Vice President of Most Things being in attendance to run the show.

Great to see so many Newcomers to Tee Set this week, attracted no doubt by the excellent course – Welcome and hope you will enjoy your golf with Tee Set Sakun, Raia, the 2 Michaels, Kitty and Eric!!

In light of the popularity of the Cengkareng course, 59 Tee Setters today entirely typical, we are discussing with the club’s management adding a couple more events there to the 2016 calendar. Watch this space.

Brenda did an outstanding job keeping track of the finances and taming the rabble of noisy golfers hovering around her table asking what tee box they were on the moment they arrived 😦

It was a considerable pleasure to witness the running of a well-managed golf course today, not least compared to the grief we experienced the previous week at Imperial. Our 12PM tee time was honoured and we were given two tee boxes to start from with a precise 8 minutes between each group teeing off.  Even with 59 players, all managed to finish in a timely manner and be back in the clubhouse before the sun had fully set ready to taste those delectable Margaritas after they had been passed (sic) by Tee Set’s VP of Exotic Drinks.

Even Simon Reynolds couldn’t resist the pull of Cengkareng with its walking layout and fast true greens. However, we believe Simon had a hidden agenda since the following day was his birthday and he didn’t have enough female company booked for his private “party”. Many a pretty caddy was to be seen receiving an invitation card during the round.

More photos of a great day out on the Tee Set Gallery.

The Play

C - Summary

C - SkirtsThe distance from blue tee boxes to the reds was rather challenging as always and a very reasonable crop of 12 Tee Setters golfers succumbed to a “tee box too far” and with the treasurer not unhappy with the result.

Lis Wymer taking advantage of some short holes found herself just one over par after three holes; not bad for a 37 handicapper. Her first ever birdie on number 3 was not early enough for the first birdie prize, however the par on number 2 was certainly good enough for “first par over 30”.

Newcomer Rocky lost his Monkey virginity - best to get that out of the way ASAP, Rocky!

Newcomer Rocky lost his Monkey virginity – best to get that out of the way ASAP, Rocky!

Some steady putting saw John Stewart take the money from 4 others also locked on 29. Rocky Terita was a bit unlucky to get monster putter with just 41. Considering the number of players on the day a much higher tally could reasonably been expected. Bad luck Rocky.

Mike Harling enjoyed the day despite getting most strokes with 12. Five in a bunker and then thinning it out into OB didn’t help his round but getting his credit card back after losing it momentarily in the restaurant brought the smile back.

Pieter (don’t call me Pete) Groen sheepishly took prize money and you will understand why when you see his improvement on the back nine – a mammoth 16 strokes.

All three grade winners were to shoot under par, well done to them all, especially Moragot Krutaroj for his net 66 – expect the swift attention of the Handicap Committee, Moragot!

Next Up

Always a rather a special occasion when we visit what many consider the finest course in the Jakarta area, the quite delicious Rancamaya course, and we are once again making a weekend of it with a relaxed social round on the Saturday afternoon followed by an even more relaxed dinner in the evening.

TrophyJoining us for dinner on the Saturday evening will be some of the Jakarta D.O.G.S who we meet on the Sunday morning in the second of our bi-annual Challenge matches.

The inaugural event was a tie so we are hoping to go one better this time.

Response to the weekend has been great with 26 rooms booked at the R-Hotel, just a gently hit 64 degree lob-wedge away from the Rancamaya clubhouse.

Green fees are a remarkable 630,000 while tee-offs will start from 1 & 10 at 11:30 and, if you are not joining for the weekend but just for the Sunday, then register here for what should be a quite outstanding day. If you have booked for the weekend then there is no need to register again; so please DON’T!

Thanks and respect once again to Juergen Degert for all that he has done, yet again, to get us access to the course and hotel and generally facilitate the event.

WOULD EVERYBODY PLEASE CHECK IN AT THE CLUBHOUSE NO LATER THAN 11.00AM to give us time to get the groups together.

If you have booked for the weekend then you will be receiving an e-mail later in the week from Event Supremo, Jan Janda, filling you in on all those pesky but useful details.

See yah at Rancamaya!! … Tee Set

PS and it’s goof night from the tree too ….

A degree of urgency sets in …………

Posted on May 31, 2016 by Tee Set

RancamayaAll, really good response and take up already for the Rancamaya weekend on the 11/12th June, so it is set up to be a lot of fun and competition!

Today we were informed by the R-Hotel that we must finalise our booking by Thursday 2nd June, though a time was not mentioned. So if you are planning on taking advantage of the heavily discounted rates they have offered us and haven’t done so already, then PLEASE complete the form you can find here now – otherwise you will have to pay the considerably less attractive walk-in rates should you book later.

Two rounds at the finest golf club in the Greater Jakarta area according to many including you scribe today- and another brilliant dinner in the company of friends at Tee Set expense on the Saturday night in the best hotel in the area. No brainer really – and we were not surprised to see some people extending their stay on the Sunday night!

In the interim, see ya at Cengkareng this Sunday! … Tee Set

Imperial Golf Klub Monthly Medal, 29th May 2016

Posted on May 31, 2016 by singing

2016-05-29 Tee Set Golf 'Monthly Medal' in Karawaci (7)

 

The Day

IMperial290516

No negatives in this write up…we will vote with our feet. Neither the late start nor the intermittent rain would steal the glory away from Pastis Pascal’s triumph in the third cycle of the Tee Set Eclectic. Well done Pascal, a much deserved victory! Your name will be on the trophy in no time.

Fifty seven Tee Setters, including the immediate Past President for Some Things, Robert Bellavance after 127 weeks, Murray after 61 and Edward after 51 weeks away,  made the trip to Imperial Golf Klub with a K. A big welcome to first timers Rocky and Doug.

The Play

IMperial2905162

 

27343594255_f4bcb23e76_m

After recovering from a back injury after attempting to carry the Singing President through 18 holes in the Interleague pairs last week, Joseph  D’Cruz had a stellar round of 42 stableford points to win the May Monthly Medal.  He topped other tables including Low gross but this had to be awarded after a four way count back to Jeff Landau.

 

El Guapo not to be denied snuck in for Low Net A Grade and Ric topped the B Grade leaderboard for the second week in a row.  Bas again paid for his round by taking Low Net C Grade after Jana (psychedelic below) snuck in on the first hole to deny Bas his traditional prize of First Par Over 30…good start Jana!

2016-05-29 Imperial

The ladies also took out Low Putts with a fired up Wina putting well with only 26…although no doubt wanting to get the driver out to the starter….oops I slipped. Wina was OB in presentations so no photo here.  Nearest to the pin waswon by Mo but he had also taken off. Fortunately Robert on his welcome back game was still kicking on and was awarded Longest Drive.

Pocket rocket Daniel and Ronald flew off the tee to get birdies on the first hole.   Short game specialist Roger (in pink) had a sandy par on the first to claim the redback there.

And now for the skirts….

26736468224_e5a13c45e5_z

As Tiger watches on ominously, 9 out of the 15 players who didn’t make the ladies’ tee joined the photo.  Edward had a rough day on the greens with 50 putts, one off matching his number of weeks away, and Irene who is enjoying her start to golf made the most of one hole with 12 strokes.

Next Up

Before dealing with next week please make sure you register for Rancamaya on 11-12 June weekend here.  The hotel urgently needs to know numbers or they will give our rooms away.

Now, next week we return to the excellent Cengkareng Golf Club.  Please register here as usual. Fast play is a must next week as we will no doubt have plenty of interest.

We are back to Imperial for the Monthly Medal and the fifth and deciding round of the third cycle of the Tee Set Eclectic.  We are hoping to announce the winner on the day.  Perennial Bridesmaid Pastis Pascal is leading, three shots ahead of the Singing President, who is unavailable, so no challenge from there.  El Guapo came from behind last time with a run of birdies to snatch the coffin, so let’s see who is lurking this Sunday.

Register here if you haven’t already.  A word of warning – Imperial has a tournament in the morning so it will be busy and there may be a delay in getting carts….so stay cooooool….

Jagorawi Golf & Country Club, Sunday 22nd May 2016

Posted on May 23, 2016 by singing

26911036660_90b30be30d_z

The DayJagorawi resultsNumbers can be deceiving and while only 27 Tee Setters formally registered, about 20 more more were hidden among the competing Interleague teams, making it a solid turnout.  It was a good way to support Interleague but not sure we will be rushing back too quickly, given the other courses available, the less than helpful male caddies and the return trip on the toll road.

Tee Setters filled in a number of shortages in other interleague teams while our own Tee Set defending champions sunk to rock bottom (again) with another crushing 10-0 defeat to rivals Cloggies.  Captain Ric was forced to reconsider his bid for captaincy for life and will no doubt take the blade to the side and bring in himself and new recruits next round in order to salvage some honour. In the meantime he looks like he is coping just fine.27152465366_4d1d6945ac_z

Big welcome back to Pekka after 17 weeks and welcome to newcomer Prannoy, who had to quickly access our spare set after his clubs were broken in shipping.  Prannoy previously played off 13 but not sure he was too happy after this drive or his baptism of fire at Jags.

27090318192_cc54c6ce12_z

The Play

Jagorawi results 2

Some reasonable and some horrible golf was played.  Stuart’s 38 on the front nine was a shining light, Ric’s 68 net was the round of the day and Roger’s even net par 84 off the stick were all worth celebrating.  Prize giving was a little confused by the mixed Tee Set and Interleague cards, and presentations were more difficult in the middle of the cackling interleague crowd.  But we managed.

First, the winners’ circle.

Roger took Low Net A Grade, with Stuart taking Low Gross, Ric won Low B Grade and Cucu Low C Grade.  Prannoy took first birdie and first sandy on his first outing but could only keep one prize and Mark and Jaco shared Low Putts with 29 (tied with Ric who had won already, noting Roger’s impressive 27 but he too had won).  Malty took First Par Over 30 and Carm was rewarded for sticking at it, after threatening to go home on the second hole, with Most Improved – keep at it Carm!  Carm, Tank, Tony and Drew were huddled up in the opposite corner from the Tee Set table so we missed them for presentations but caught up later.

27090344502_b1186d8303_z

Ricardo was such a good sport in hanging around for the skirt photo that we excused him from a fine for Most Strokes.  No Monster Putter was awarded either as nobody passed the 40 limit.

In the only matchplay battle of the day outside of the hapless interleague matches, Mick snuck past Cucu with a putt on the last to win 1 Up.

Next Up: Monthly Medal, Imperial Golf Klub, 12 Noon,770k Rp

Yes its time again to return to Imperial Golf Klub with a “K” for the Monthly Medal and final round of the third cycle of the Tee Set Eclectic.  With last cycle’s runner up and Monthly Medal El Supremo “Pastis” Pascal leading the Singing President by three strokes, and desperate to take “The Coffin” home to his man cave, there will no doubt be all sorts of tactics at play.

Given a tournament at Imperial in the morning, we may be in for a later start but we are negotiating a shotgun start to speed up play and allow all flights to finish.  This proved very successful at Jagorawi on the weekend with most flights completing rounds in 4 hours 20 minutes, a reasonable target for competition golf.  We are also encouraging players to pick up on double par to speed up play (mark an X on your score card and minimum 2 putts, more if you had more).

Register here as usual.

Posted on May 19, 2016 by singing

Jags

While our interleague team ventures each month to Jagorawi Country Club, it’s been a while since we scheduled a Tee Set round there.  This week we are all there – a bizarre mix of interleaguers, Jags members and Tee Setters – for what should be a great day of golf and laughter.  It’s a good chance to meet and mix with other Jakarta golfers.

Jags gives golfers a chance to use every club (and every ball) in their bag, so take the challenge, confront your demons, and come and support your team.

If you haven’t registered do so here as usual.  The price is 975,000RP and your Tee Set registration has been reduced to 50,000Rp to effectively bring the green fees down a fraction more. Registrations will go to support interleague.

Tee off will be a shotgun start at 1230 or 1245 (whatever we can agree with management) incorporating interleague and Tee Set.

Reminder: Upcoming Events

Three important upcoming events on the schedule – so save the date:

  1. 11th and 12th June – Rancamaya Weekend Away incorporating DOGS versus Tee Set Challenge.  Registrations will be called for next week once Event El Supremo Jan gets the best rate possible out of the hotel.
  2. 3rd July – Golf in the City Weekend – sponsored Saturday Dinner at Shangri-La, Stay Option then Sunday Golf at Senayan.  Registrations will be called for soon. Event El Supremo VP Mel is finalising details…it’s taking him multiple visits to BATS to tease out the finer points.
  3. 23rd and 24th July – Battle Royale Team Event at Nirwana, Tanah Lot in Bali with Par 5 Golf Society.  Register here. I have just spent 4 days there, the course is outstanding and the sunset drinks above the signature 7th hole, followed by a trip to Canggu, are not to be missed. Any questions to Event El Supremo Roger Finnie.

Damai Indah Golf & Country Club (BSD), Sunday 15th May 2016

Posted on May 16, 2016 by Tee Set

BSD - Hilites

The day

An unstressed drive out to BSD on a Sunday morning was just what the golfing doctors ordered. Tee Setters were filling up the restaurant a full two hours before tee time and the club was doing a brisk business on the breakfast menu not to mention the beer trade with prices dropped a mouth-watering 10% in our honour after the ex-President of Most Things found it hard to swallow draft beer offered at Rp75K a glass and lobbied the F&B to get real or suffer 50 golfers bringing their own beer esskies. 10% discount offered and accepted but was considered rather pitiful, however, most had brought their own tinnies along anyway 🙂

First time up for Patrick Sim, welcome to Tee Set Patrick, we hope you will enjoy your golf with us.

BSD - The JellysSad to lose another two regulars with Leona Jelinkova and Jan Jelinek (“The Jellys”) heading back to new postings in the Czech Republic.

It’s been really great having you guys along over the last 3 years and we wish you happy golfing wherever you decide to tee up next. Suggest using your Shangri-La discount cards before you go. Not sure the card will be recognized outside Indonesia but give it a try and let us know how you get on.

The first SNAFU of the day was discovering the Tee Set computer battery was flat and the charger was nowhere to be found. Nevertheless a quick call to Grab –Bike and it was on the way from Pejatan for the paltry sum of Rp80K. On the upside it released Brenda to hit the course with the camera and over 80 rather better than usual photos on the web site Gallery was the result. A lot of creativity shown by some players and one or two copycat poses.

BSD - RelaxedStinking hot day with no wind and the Poms were falling like flies. The second nine cooled off considerably with a bit of wind and some cloud cover.

A reasonably steady round time wise but the group was in no hurry for a fast round – it is such a lovely course so why be in a hurry to leave it behind?

Current VP of a few things (Mel) deserves a mention since he arrived at the very last tee box with his first skirt-free round in some considerable time in prospect. Rather unkindly, some might think, the former President of Most Things and playing in the same flight, brought to Mel’s attention that the red tee boxes were quite a substantial distance away. Beads of sweet formed on Mel’s brow and the over-tightening of those muscles needing to be loose for a free-flowing swing led to the inevitable result. Better luck next week Mel.

The play

BSD - Summary

Play

BSD - skirt

Perhaps the biggest highlight of the playing day was not all those skirts, there were only 7 of them today anyway, but rather Peter Bush getting Tee Set’s very first eagle of the year, in fact our first since that of Anlo at Jagorawi in September last year. Well done, Bushy!!

Bushy’s joy on the day was however not to be unalloyed as he managed to pair it with 15 stokes on a single hole later on to ensure that his winnings were not to go home unbroken.

BSD - grade winners

Happy grade winners, Axel, Gerald and Ric …

Detailed player by player results here while more photos of the day can be found on the Tee Set Gallery.

Next up

We usually offer an alternative venue on Interleague match days, however, not this month when everyone will be at Jagorawi for the fun and challenge of a fine course; and with a full array of all the usual Tee Set prizes on offer.

A shotgun start at 12:45 will ensure we all finish in good time – green fees of 975,000 including shared cart but with a reduced Tee Set participation fee of just 50,000, all of which all goes to the Interleague.

Sign up here as usual for what should be a great day.

See ya at Jags! …. Tee Set

And it's goodbye from them too ......

And it’s goodbye from them too …… including “Eagle Boy” Bushy on the far right

HOGFesthogfest 1

Yes, the time for you to do a good deed AND have a great time for just 700,000 roops has arrived with the event now on Saturday evening at the conveniently situated for many Balai Sarwono in Kemang. Come along and enjoy the food and the free flow beer with a wide cross-section of Jakarta’s expat community and more, not least your own committee.

If you have not yet got your ticket then drop Keith a line and he will make sure that ticket(s) are waiting for you when you arrive on Saturday.

Tee Set Membership Card

Some very positive feedback on the use of the Tee Set Membership Card at the Shangri-La from Mick Dodsworth ….

I took 7 people yesterday to Satoo buffet restaurant.

I informed Shangri-La about the Tee Set card when booking.

Food and service great as always.

When paying the bill, the staff were a little confused. Took about 15 minutes to pay. They said that they have never seen the card before, but checked with some manager and honoured.

So, I received a great 30% off the bill and made the cost 298,144Rp per head. ….an overall saving of 844,800Rp.

Well worth a short wait !  Good work whoever was behind setting this up – I owe them a beer!

Thanks for that Mick – and we would very much appreciate any feedback others may have on their own use of the card.

See yah at BSD on Sunday!! …… Tee Set

Matoa Nasional, Sunday 8th May 2016

Posted on May 10, 2016 by Tee Set

No, it’s not deja vu all over again, merely a premature button press – this one has rather more stuff 🙂

Matoa HilitesThe Day

Our last visit to Matoa was back in January this year, a full 16 weeks ago, and we have to ask ourselves, why so long between rounds at this very attractive and well priced course?

Excellent question but easily answered by Tee Set being spoilt in having so many premier courses in the schedule. Matoa is always fun but given a choice of Cengkareng, BSD, Gading Raya, Riverside, Imperial, Permata Sentul and others, it is a little difficult to get people down that appalling kampung road known as Jl Mohammad Kafi 1.

Once you have dodged about 1,000 bikes riding mostly on the wrong side of the road with a full family on board, getting to Matoa safely is such a relief that the first calming Bintang doesn’t even touch the sides.

Before we get to the events of the day let’s tell you of our first strong Vasco de Garma candidate for the year. All golfers arrived prior to tee time with the exception of one Chris Lever who was to arrive a full 30 minutes after the official start time – complaining that we had tee-ed off on time. Haha.

The cause of Chris’s tardiness was, we were to be informed, due to his taxi driver not having the faintest idea where Matoa golf was located, compounded by his also having no idea on how to get there. Number one rule when hailing a taxi in Jakarta is of course to ensure you know the route to your destination. First fine of the day. On top off this when he did manage to get to a tee box he had not even one golf ball available in his bag!! Second fine of the day. Third fine was not finishing the two holes he missed by being late.

Matoa - newcomers

Illina and Efsi dip their toes in the water …

A warm Tee Set Welcome to a couple of young recruits brought along by Wina, Ilinna and Efsi. Enjoy your golf with Tee Set ladies!!

Matoa - EvaldoWelcome Backs were led by that previous regular, Evaldo Roos, back after a 40 weeks absence, closely followed by Geoff Thompson who has been a Tee Setter since 1987 who was to be longest-serving member on the day,  and one who always makes the effort to turn out when we are at Matoa.

Good to see that Evaldo has not toned down his taste for, erm, colourful golfing rigs in the 40 weeks he has been away 🙂

The Play

Matoa arty

Our photographer gets all arty today…

Play was to go a little pear shaped due to the rain interruption experienced by all but the 1st groups out. Where was our resident pawang hujung tasked with keeping us dry?

The most disappointed player was Mike Riley who lost his playing partners to the club house and Bintangs at the first downpour. Mike is on a mission to break a hundred by year’s end and not completing the round was not to help his cause.

Mike’s driver has been on fire at the driving range lately but that form was to desert him today and a skirt was recorded against his name, as it was for Jeff Durham, Ricardo Oliveira, Mick Dodsworth, Chris Till for the second week in a row, Laurie O’Connor, and Graeme Paterson.

Worthy of mention that Ricardo took 5 shots to get past the ladies tees on his very first hole but picked up his game after that to record only one more skirt for the day – and was just to miss out on Most Improved.

Leading scores etc. were as follows:

Matoa Summary

More detailed, player by player results here and more photos of the day on our gallery.

Next Up

The house that Jack built, BSD (aka Damai Indah Golf and Country Club), is of course one of the very finest of Jakarta’s many great courses and after just 4 (?) weeks away we have a quick return there on Sunday.

1st Tee time at 12 noon from 1 & 1o and green fees of a rather odd-looking 909,000 including compulsory shared cart. Sign up here to join us for another fine and hopefully rain-free Tee Set Sunday.
