Sunday Competition - Barossa Valley & Gawler

Saturday 08/08/15:   Gawler

Fourteen ventured to Nuriootpa Caravan Park for the traditional August weekend trip.  
Nice weather - fine, cool, generally sunny and relatively calm conditions, with the course in very good condition (with no sign of mud or slush).

Ten players entered Gawler's Saturday competition, with only George & Bronte (31) and Damien & Dave Bartlett (30) avoiding embarrassment.

After a titanic, long-hitting contest George snuck in over Dave Oreo on the final hole.  Both played well, with Dave fighting back mid-round to even the match.  A couple of excellent shots by George late in the round sealed the win.

Sunday 09/08/15:   Barossa Valley (Nuriootpa)

Sixteen starters on the Sunday, including the four ladies.   Absolutely perfect conditions - probably the best weather all winter, with the course in good condition.     
Noel noted in his after-match speech that the conditions were a true test of golf in which the best players prevailed.

Noel                       35 points
Greg                      35
Damien                  30
