Front nine: Bronte (19) from Damien (17), Kev & Greg (16)

The forecast 'few showers' didn't arrive and we had a calm, mild day with the course a little damp after the recent downpour. That may have contributed to some ordinary scores.
Six of the regulars. Pring should be back next week.
Whicker took the money (17/18/35) from Methofer (31).
Birdies: Greg on the par 4 tenth, par 3 twelfth and par 3 #`15A (temporary)
Four Point Holes: Phil on the par 5 second
Next Wednesday: The Vines (using vouchers) - Bronte to confirm and advise tee times

Wednesday Competition, EET 2015 Singles
22/04/15: North Adelaide
Only four starters, with most regulars either on O/S holidays or golf tour. Damien back in action but not quite match hardened yet.
Phil Methofer and Bob Batty fought out the first battle of the 2015 EET Singles competition - a high quality match, with Phil starting well, Bob leading after 13 holes, and Phil 'falling over the line'.
Front nine: Bob and Phil (20) - very impressive under match play, from Damien (17)
Back nine: Don (17) from Phil (16)
Overall: Phil (36) from Bob (30)
Four point holes:
Bob: par 4 fourth
Phil: par 3 fifth (Phil's 3 for 4 beat Bob's 4 for 3)
29/04/15: North Adelaide
A lovely autumn day for golf - about 18C, mild and calm. Nine starters, with:
- the three really wealthy Wednesday regulars still O/S on holidays
- the golf tourists back from taming Barnbougle, and
- guest appearances by Tony Jeffries (the Sydney based, better looking brother of Ocky) and Kevin Sampson (the itinerant, cleverer brother of Ocky).
Unfortunately, remodelling of the 4th green till mid-June means two temporary holes and a reduced course rating of 69 compared to the usual 71.
Front nine: Kev C and Eddie (19) from Phil (17)
Back nine: Kev C, Bob (18) from Phil & Tony (17)
Overall: Kev C (37) from Tony (34), Phil (33) and Greg (30)
Birdies:
Tony: Par 4 fourteenth
Greg: Par 4 hole #15A
Kevin Sampson: Par 3 twelfth. Possibly the worst tee shot seen on this hole all year - a bladed 8 iron which ran along the ground, down the valley, up the other side and finished 8 feet from the flag. No apology.
Four point holes:
Phil: Par 3 fifth and Par 4 ninth
Next week:
Wednesday: 11.40 am Patawalonga (Note the later tee time)
