Monthly Comp

09 June 2013

Overcast and cold for some - the men still turned up in shorts!  Day didn't get much warmer, but a lot better when the sun came out.  Some magnificent golf, and some crap golf!

14 starters.

Winner on the day
Nick Meiers - 41 points
NTP - Murray Virgin
Long Drive - George Cleland (about 270-280 metres drawn around a dogleg - WOW!)

Other balls to Burrett (33), Oreo (31), Rossco (30), Cap'n Kev (30), and the other 9 players didn't get a ball, and this may suggest the standard of the play on the day.

Birdies:

Nick on Par 5 seventh and par 4 sixteenth (glad he was my partner!)
Noel on par 4 seventeenth
Pring on par 4 sixth
George on par 4 fourth
Damien  on par 5 tenth
Murray on par 3 ninth

And so amongst these birdies were 4 five pointers!  Scary really, given the number of golf balls given out as prizes.

Next game Murray Bridge 14 July - 10.00am

New Handicaps (and a lot of them)

Nick now 22 (21.9)
Damien now 28 (27.7)
Murray now 22 (21.7)
Pring now 15 (14.6)
McCaw now 26 (25.5)
Cap'n now 25 (24.5)
Noel now 24 (23.5)

Old Handicaps George still 4.6 BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday Comp

05 June 2013

Cool and overcast with a smidgin of a breeze from the Nor Nor West.  Fantastic day for golf, and only got a light sprinkle towards the end, but it was very dark by the time we all left at about 4pm.  Certainly down to shirtsleeves for the majority of the round.  Apologies from the Cap'n, who claims to have caught a recent cold, and wants to be right for Sunday at Mount Compass.

6 starters - P Crathern, the Hanging Judge, Damien, Pring, with special guest appearances by Kenny Freestone (for the second week), and a cuntry member, Brian (Percy) Henson, who now plays off nine at the Royal and Ancient Port Lincoln Golf Course.

Late debate (very) wonders whether Percy is actually financial with the EET Club, and actually eligible to play in an EET Golf Club sanctioned competition.  Maybe the boys can take it off him on Friday night at the Bonzo card game..........

Results

Front nine P Crathern 18 points
Back nine Pring 20 points
Overall P Crathern 35 points

Certain amount of abuse after the round re some scores apparently missing from last week's comp, so:

P Crathern - 35 points
HJ - 33 points
Pring - 31 points
Kenny - 29 points
Damien and Percy - 23 points

Obviously Percy couldn't cope with the quality (or was that the sledging?) of his two playing partners, or was it the concern for his dog left locked in the car for 3 and a half hours (you monster)

Next week, game is Tuesday, as Wednesday is long term forecast for heavy rain, (and Pring is unavailable for Wed, as in training to bring you the best election possible)

Next game Sunday 9 June Mt Compass at 9.30am.
