29/07/15: North Adelaide
Seven starters on a cool (14C), overcast but calm day. Nothing outstanding, but a return to form by the old fox (Damien) and Pringmeister.
Front nine: Greg (18) from Peter & Bronte (16)
Back nine: Damien (19) from Bronte (17)
Overall: Damien (34) from Bronte (32), Peter (31). Damien scrubbed the last hole to protect handicap.
Birdies:
Greg: Par 5 second
Four Point Holes:
Damien: Par 4 eleventh
Bob: Par 3 sixth
Phil: Par 4 ninth
Teams:
Bronte/Damien snuck in over Phil/Greg on the final hole. It's probably not surprising that, with the match all square after a titanic struggle all day, Bronte's one point on the final hole was enough to win. Doh !!!!
Next week: Wednesday, South Course, 10.30 am

Wednesday Competition
22/07/15: North Adelaide
Once again, the playing conditions were much better than forecast for the seven starters - mild (~15C), sunny and fairly calm. The overall scores were very ordinary, undoubtedly due to the absence of several stars (Crathern, Beggs & Gordge).
Front nine: Greg (16) from Damien & Bronte (15)
Back nine: Don (17) from Greg (16), Phil (15)
Overall: Greg (32) from an unlucky Don (31) and Phil (30)
No birdies or four point holes.
As expected, Mensforth/Whicker triumphed over Milde/Pring. Bronte again requires physiotherapy.

Wednesday Competition
15/07/15: North Adelaide
Ordinary weather forecast, but turned out OK except for one brief shower. The only people to get wet were those who took Dave Bartlett's advice that an umbrella wouldn't be needed.
Ten starters, including a guest appearance by the birthday boy (Bartlett) and his mate Alby. It's always disturbing to realise that Dave represents the next generation of EET. One of his Phil Walsh jokes was borderline OK, the others were far too early !!!
Front nine: Bartlett (20 points) from an unlucky Methofer (18), Milde (15)
Back nine: Beggs (19) from Batty (17), Pring & Whicker (15)
Overall: Beggs & Methofer (32) from Batty (30)
Birdies:
Batty: Par 3 sixteenth - a two for 5 points (oh please!!!)
Four point holes:
Methofer: Par 5 second
Bartlett: Par 5 second
Next week: North Adelaide 10.30 am

Sunday Competition - Fleurieu Results
12/07/15: Fleurieu
Ten hardy souls braved the forecast arctic, wet and blowy conditions. There were only a couple of very brief sprinkles of rain but the moderate/strong breeze, multiple layers of clothes and damp course made good scores difficult. Except, of course, for Ross.
Ross played a blinder, scoring 35 points in a round that was really worth about 40 points. It included a penalty on the par 5 seventh after his magnificent drive into the teeth of the breeze. Unfortunately, it was hit from the ''yellows" about 2 metres ahead of the "whites". Like the mushroom issue a few weeks ago, R&A rules were scrupulously applied (blame Bronte !!!).
Several really talented golfers tied for second on 26 points. Quite a few others dreamed of 26 points.
Long drive: Townsend
NTP: Pring. Somewhat surprisingly, Paul Crathern's magnificent tee shot to within 10 feet of the flag was followed by 4 putts for double bogey.
Birdies:
Ross: Par 3 fifth
Teams: The White/Mensforth pairing snuck in over Milde/Pring. Bronte's shoulders now require physiotherapy.
A special mention for Bronte yet again winning the Victor comp ("square" in the par competition on a freezing cold Saturday)

Wednesday Competition
01/07/15: North Adelaide
Seven starters on a perfect day - mild, sunny and calm. Reasonable scores given the lack of run on the fairways. The temporary green will be gone for our next round.

Back nine: Damien (19) from Greg (18), Don (17) & Bronte (15)
Overall: Greg (37) from Damien (33), Don (31) and Bronte (30)

Greg: Par 4 ninth.
Four Point Holes:
Phil: Par 4 thirteenth.
Next week: Likely to be Oakbank about 10.30 am. Bronte to confirm.
