Wednesday Competition & EET Singles Update

30/07/14:  North Adelaide

A perfect winter's day (sunny and 17C) although the course continues to play very long. 

Only four starters, with:
-   Kevin injured (bicycle malfunction) after hitting peak form last week.
-   Don recovering from his eye operation - but came out to caddy and coach (for a modest fee)
-   Phil on holidays, headed towards Darwin and sunshine/warmth.

As expected, the team of Mensforth & Whicker proved too strong for Milde & Pring (who were 3 up after the front nine, and square on the 18th tee).   Ordinary individual scores, but a great  contest between the two teams.

Front nine:    Bronte (15)
Back nine:    Greg (19) from Peter (17)

Highlights:  
No birdies, but Pring's drives were worth seeing on 10 of the 14 driver holes.

EET SIngles Competition:  First Round

Paul Tatterelli snuck in over Bronte Milde at Mt Compass last Sunday.

Bronte is arranging to delete "EET SIngles Champion" from his email signature & voicemail. 

Wednesday Competition

23/07/14:  North Adelaide

Drizzle set in after a few holes.  Cleared up towards the end, but only the hardy souls out of the six starters flourished.

Front nine:   Kevin (18 points) from Damien (17), Peter (16) and Phil (15)
Back nine:   Kevin and Peter (15), daylight next
Overall:        Kevin (33) from Peter (31)

Highlights:
None.  Kevin's 4 for 4 on the eighth and Phil's 3 for 4 on the sixth don't count.

Five starters, including a guest appearance by Craig Burrett.   Don & Peter unavailable.
No run on fairways, and blue tees as far back as possible - pretty tough !!

Back nine:    Greg (18) from Craig (17)
Overall:         Greg (35) from Craig (32)

Wednesday Competition

25/06/14:  North Adelaide

Cancelled due to a lousy forecast and heavy rain on previous days.

02/07/14:  Patawalonga

A perfect winter's day - sunny and calm, 16C and a relatively dry course.
Seven starters, eventually (a formal GAW apology for the mixup with emails - it had nothing to do with Phil winning the money last time !).

I am informed that the conditions suited real golfers - those with the full range of skills etc etc etc.

Front nine:  Don (21) from Peter (19
Back nine:  Peter and Damien (20) from Don & Kevin (17)
Overall:       Peter (39) from Don (38), then daylight.

Highlights:
Pring:       No scrubs, seven pars.
A par 3 for 4 points doesn't count, Damien.
