Kurnia\/GolfinStyle.<\/h4>\n<p>Salah satu pionir dalam industri pariwisata golf Indonesia, Dennis Kloeth, meninggal dunia Selasa (24\/10) di R.S. Cinere dalam usia 77 tahun. Pria yang sejak 1998 mendedikasikan dirinya untuk mempromosikan golf di Indonesia ke seluruh dunia ini harus mengakhiri perjuangannya menghadapi penyakit jantung yang telah cukup lama ia derita.<\/p>\n<p>Jauh sebelum menjadi salah satu promotor wisata golf di Indonesia, Dennis berkecimpung di industri musik global. Ia sempat menjadi promotor bagi sejumlah nama legendaris, seperti Black Sabbath, Elton John, Rod Stewart &amp; The Faces. Ia juga menjadi saksi transisi dari Peter Gabriel ke Phil Collins dalam grup Genesis. Selain itu, ia sempat pula menjadi manajer bagi musisi legendaris lainnya, Billy Preston, yang sempat dikenal sebagai Beatle kelima akibat peran krusialnya bagi sejumlah lagu The Beatles\u2014termasuk ketika menjadi bagian dari Konser di Atas Atap yang terkenal pada 30 Januari 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Ia mulai menemukan hasratnya terhadap golf sejak pulang ke Indonesia pada akhir 1980-an, dan mulai mendedikasikan dirinya untuk mempromosikan golf di Indonesia sebagai pintu masuk menuju kekayaan keindahan alam dan budaya pada 1998. Melalui Indo Golf Travel dan Golf Promo Indonesia, ia secara rutin memublikasikan The Golfers\u2019 Guide Indonesia setiap tahunnya sekaligus secara aktif mempromosikan keunggulan golf di Indonesia kepada para penggemar golf, baik di Eropa maupun Amerika Serikat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36892\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36892\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"xa-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Genesis-Dennis-Kloeth.jpg\" alt=\"Dennis Kloeth dan Genesis.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full xa-image-36892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Genesis-Dennis-Kloeth.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Genesis-Dennis-Kloeth-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Genesis-Dennis-Kloeth-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Genesis-Dennis-Kloeth-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Genesis-Dennis-Kloeth-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36892\" class=\"xa-caption-text\">Dennis Kloeth (tengah) bersama grup musik legendaris Genesis.

Pribadi Dennis Kloeth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Upaya gerilyanya ini termasuk meyakinkan Kementerian Pariwisata untuk menyadari potensi besar dari industri wisata golf sebagai sumber devisa yang sangat menjanjikan. Selama bertahun-tahun ia melihat bahwa wisatawan golf adalah wisatawan yang paling banyak melakukan belanja, tidak hanya untuk golf, tetapi juga untuk leisure. Mereka yang bermain golf akan sangat menikmati aktivitas lain, di antaranya spa dan diving, dan tak jarang menghabiskan waktu hingga berhari-hari dengan tingkat pengeluaran yang lebih daripada sekadar wisatawan biasa.<\/p>\n<p>Selain aktif mempromosikan golf Indonesia ke mancanegara, Dennis juga aktif mendukung industri golf dengan terlibat dalam pendokumentasian lapangan-lapangan golf. Karya-karya fotografinya banyak menghias halaman web sejumlah lapangan golf di Indonesia. Hubungannya yang erat dengan almarhum Suprapto Pegeng juga membawanya mengabadikan New Kuta Golf dari udara dengan menggunakan helikopter pada Juni 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Saya mulai mengenal beliau secara pribadi sejak memulai karier jurnalisme golf dengan Golf Asia Indonesia pada tahun 2011. Situs web Indo Golf Travel menjadi referensi utama saya untuk mencari tahu lapangan-lapangan golf yang ada di Indonesia. Dari beliau pula saya mengetahui bahwa Indonesia memiliki sekitar 250 lapangan yang tersebar dari Sabang sampai Merauke. Beberapa telah tutup, sementara sejumlah lapangan baru telah dibuka.<\/p>\n<p>Melalui wadah Golf Media Jakarta, kami kerap menikmati bermain golf bersama dengan awak media lainnya, khususnya pada tahun ketika komunitas tersebut masih aktif.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36893\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"xa-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Bob-Moore-Qamal-Mutaqin-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Frasure-Dye-the-Shaper-Dennis-Kloeth.jpg\" alt=\"Dennis Kloeth di Suvarna Jakarta Golf Club.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full xa-image-36893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Bob-Moore-Qamal-Mutaqin-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Frasure-Dye-the-Shaper-Dennis-Kloeth.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Bob-Moore-Qamal-Mutaqin-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Frasure-Dye-the-Shaper-Dennis-Kloeth-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Bob-Moore-Qamal-Mutaqin-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Frasure-Dye-the-Shaper-Dennis-Kloeth-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Bob-Moore-Qamal-Mutaqin-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Frasure-Dye-the-Shaper-Dennis-Kloeth-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23-GOLF-REPORTS-OKT-Bob-Moore-Qamal-Mutaqin-Dennis-Kloeth-dan-Frasure-Dye-the-Shaper-Dennis-Kloeth-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36893\" class=\"xa-caption-text\">(Ki-ka) Arsitek golf Bob Moore, Qamal Mutaqim, Dennis Kloeth, dan shaper Frasure Dye di area konstruksi yang kini menjadi Suvarna Jakarta Golf Club.

Pribadi Dennis Kloeth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sebagai seorang Belanda, sikapnya yang tegas dan tidak neko-neko dalam banyak hal terkadang membuatnya menjadi pribadi yang sulit untuk dihadapi. Akan tetapi, semua itu bersumber dari hasrat dan kecintaan yang mendalam terhadap golf di Indonesia. Meskipun posturnya terbilang kecil untuk seorang Eropa, bagi saya tidak diragukan lagi bahwa ia merupakan salah satu raksasa dalam industri golf di Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Selama beberapa tahun terakhir, Dennis tidak hanya menjadi sahabat bagi saya, tetapi juga mentor yang kerap menekankan pentingnya literatur golf dalam bahasa Indonesia. Penekanan itu pula yang, di antaranya, menjadi alasan mengapa GolfinStyle tetap hadir, meskipun secara independen.<\/p>\n<p>Jelas hanya Tuhan yang mengetahui usia kita. Di tengah rencananya untuk kembali ke Belanda dan merintis bisnis baru dari sana, termasuk ikut mengantar keponakannya, Juara European Young Masters 2022 Denny Kloeth mencapai jenjang profesional, Dennis justru harus mengembuskan napas terakhirnya di negara yang menjadi tempat kelahirannya.<\/p>\n<p>Selamat jalan Pak Dennis. Terima kasih untuk persahabatan selama lebih dari satu dekade terakhir.<\/p>\n<div class=\"angwp_40847 _ning_cont _ning_hidden _ning_outer _align_center responsive\" data-size=\"custom\" data-bid=\"40847\" data-aid=\"0\" style=\"max-width:728px; width:100%;height:inherit;\"><div class=\"_ning_label _left\" style=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"_ning_inner\" style=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/golfinstyle.id?_dnlink=40847&t=1792168447\" class=\"strack_cli _ning_link\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;<\/a><div class=\"_ning_elmt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfinstyle.id\/wpc\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GolfinStyle\u00ae-Issue-27-Horizontal-Banner.jpg\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salah satu pionir wisata golf Indonesia selama lebih dari dua dasawarsa terakhir, Dennis Kloeth, berpulang dalam usia 77 tahun.
