Murray Bridge & Lake Albert Results
Saturday 26/05/18: Lake Albert
Five starters on a pleasant day with the Lake Albert course in very good condition and fast greens - a big improvement on our last visit. Reasonable scores, with no-one disgraced !
Steve White (33), from George Cleland (32), Ross Townsend (31).
Sunday 27/05/18: Murray Bridge
Ignoring the forecast of rain, the day turned out beautifully - warm and calm throughout. Thirteen starters, with reasonable scores generally.
Well done to:
Ross Townsend (34)
Paul Crathern & Peter Harding (33)
Steve White & Kevin Crathern (32)
George Cleland (31)
Greg Whicker (30)
Birdies:
Kevin Crathern: par 5 twelfth
Highlight:
Ross' drive on the par 4 fifteenth (the mongrel with the 90 degree dogleg) went to the right of the dogleg trees, bounced along the brick path next to the 16th tee, rolled over several mounds and finished on the fringe of the green, about 12 feet from the flag. Scrambled the par !!

Wednesday Competition
Wednesday 28/03/2018: North Adelaide
A nostalgic return to the South Course on a perfect autumn day for golf. Just the four starters, with George Cleland being the only one to play two good nines. The back nine was downright embarrassing for some. Probably won't rush to play there again.

Overall: Cleland (36) from Whicker (31), Crathern (30)

Sunday Competition - Patawalonga
11/03/2018: Patawalonga
Fourteen starters in perfect weather (although a touch warm by the finish) with a clear blue sky and a slight breeze (~ 1 club). The course was in excellent condition.
Highlights:
- As is usual at the Pat, scores were generally good. Kev Crathern made a mess of the competition with 46 points, including 25 on the back nine. Vin-like.
- First EET appearance (and 40 points) by Sam Wellman, aka 'Son of Noel'. His modesty, talent and quietness-on-course suggests he was adopted.
- The Acting-Captain's speech after the game was outstanding.
EET Singles Competition 2018 - first round. Four matches decided:
- Jill Thomas by 1 shot over George Cleland. George's 19/19/38 round didn't quite overcome the 28 shots he had to give Jill.
- Stephen Gordge def Noel Wellman (who was dogged by bad luck, as usual)
- Helen Cooper def Peter Harding (despite a slightly sluggish start - 14 on the first)
- Greg Whicker def Paul Crathern (Steve White will be surprised)
Stableford Competition - Ball winners:
Kevin Crathern (46)
Sam Wellman (40)
Jill Thomas & Greg Whicker (39)

Wednesday Competition
28/02/2018: Willunga
Six starters on our first visit to Willunga for a long, long time. On a perfect day for golf, the course was very busy, well maintained and interesting, with a number of huge greens. Overall, a pleasant course which is relatively short, but worth an occasional visit.
The highlight of the day was Bronte (henceforth "the new Damien"), arriving at the course without his golf clubs. Scores were generally pretty average, with Mal Freeman winning the day on only his second round with EET.
Front nine: Harding (17) from Freeman (16)
Back nine: Crathern (18) from Freeman & Methofer (17), Whicker & Cleland (16)
Overall: Freeman (33) from Harding & Crathern (32), Methofer (31)
Next Week: TUESDAY Mt Osmond 12.30 pm (two tees)
Whicker has 3 Entertainment Book vouchers - can someone please bring one more (just in case).

Eight starters on an excellent day for golf, with the course in very good condition for mid-February. A special welcome to Mal Freeman for his first game with EET.
