Golf equipment issues in SE Asia / Indonesia

Does anyone know a good clubfitter / shop / teaching professional in Jakarta / Indonesia / SE Asia? I sometimes feel like I am on a desert island golf wise...the courses are cheap and fantastic like a goregous beach on that island, but there is little support for us. I broke a shaft last year and had to reshaft with a different flex because they did not have and would not order what I needed. Customs takes their pick on any personal shipments, and store policies here are to sell what is in stock, and the rest is otherwise not available (I wear a size 14 US/ 49eur and had to wait a year to buy a new pair of shoes when I took a trip to the US...I bought 8). Suggestions?

Sorry to say that I can’t help you out but do know what you are going through I spent some time on the island of Java (city of Surabaya) and on the island of Sumatra (city of Pekanbaru). You are so right if you are an American (with any size on you at all) and trying to get clothes, shoes and etc to fit it's almost not going to happen.
