Victor Harbor 3 February

The following teams have been nominated by EET for the Group 4 championship at Victor Harbor on Sunday 3^rd Feb,  8AM SHOTGUN START

Pring                       Townsend             Burrett                Hammond              Milde

Wellman                Bartlett                  Crathern             Virgin                     Methofer

Meiers                    Mensforth             Freestone        Trestrail                  White S

Boyle                       McCaw                   White D              Moyle                     Zielke                

Fees for all the above have already been paid in advance by the EET Club, and the BBQ lunch has also been paid for (subsidised by EET).

Try to be there early - please!  It’s a reasonable walk to some of the tees, and it would be good to start on time!

 A good weekend to use up Victor friends (if you have any).

We have a reserve or 2, so please advise asap if you cannot make it, as we will need to change nominations, handicaps etc. with the organisers.

Format is Stableford, with both individual honours and combined team scores winning prizes (we usually clean up big time in the raffle prizes, although Rossco will be defending B Grade champion).

First named I believe will be captains on the day, and will need to pick up cards, ensure handicaps are recorded correctly, and maybe even place lunch orders.

Can everyone also please respond to me in the affirmative, and can you chase up your team members if they are not on the distribution list for this email, and advise me.

RSVP by 30 January.

Cheers

Meister

Sunday 13 January 2013

Cool morning with constant light rain for opening few holes.  Dried up and we got on with it.  Almost a blue sky trying to show through by the time we finished.

14 starters, 5 carts and 4 walkers, three of whom carried, and one pulled, and two of whom looked very cute in matching blue tie down waterproof hats (didn't help their scores, as you'll see by the names absent from the ball-winners on the day).

Dave Hammond won the day with 38 points, Steve White 35, Nick and the Meister on 32, Bronte and Phil Methofer 30, and no-one else scored a ball, except Rossco who got both NTP and Long Drive.

Slug came back to the field after the Handicapper ripped into him for having 43 points off 15 at McCracken on the Thursday prior, and couldn't continue the great form.

A couple of the carts probably covered close to 13 km's which is impressive, given the course is only 5697 metres long.  It was a long walk, as Bronte eventually got the cart couple he was playing with to carry his clubs.

Thanks to Phil for the post game BBQ at his shack down at Carrickalinga, and the funniest thing ever concerning his ex-wife and a video.

Next game is 3rd February, and is the Group 4 competition held at Victor.  We had 4 groups last year, and have nominated the same number again.  We will need the confirmed nominations for this game, as we have to pre-pay for the round.  More info to come out on this one.

I will also forward by email the Ambrose nomination form for Victor, but you will have to arrange your own groups, payments etc.

Wednesday competition

02/01/2013:  North Adelaide
Teed off at 9.30 am to beat the forecast heat.   The conditions were warm, but bearable, with a faint cooling breeze.
Six starters, including Damien (returning after surgery) and Bronte.   Damien's sore shoulder affected his golf score and his ability to reach any pocket to shout drinks afterwards (good one Paul).
Front nine:  Pring (21) from Milde & Boyle (19)
Back nine:   Whicker (19) from Pring (17)
Overall:      Pring (38) from Milde (34), Boyle (32) & Whicker (30)
No changes to handicaps:
Highlights:  Bronte's remarkable putting all day.
Note:  No game scheduled for next Wednesday due to the forecast extreme heat.
