Wednesday Competition - TTG

16/09/15:   Tea Tree Gully

Nine starters plus Rob Lubcke and two mates on a day that had everything !!!    Thunder, lightning, a very brief shower, the threat of drenching rain, plus sunshine and moderate warmth.    First look at Tea Tree Gully for many of us - quite a pleasant course, but the inverted saucer greens minimised the overall scores.    Many thanks to Pring & Lubcke for arranging the event.

Front nine:    Whicker & Pring (16) from Burrett (15)
Back nine:     Milde (16)  from Methofer (14)
Overall:         Milde & Whicker (29)

Best Team:   Milde/Pring from Lubcke/Whciker

Birdies:
Whicker:     Par 5 ninth

Wednesday Competition

08/09/15:   North Adelaide

Five starters on a mild, calm, dry Tuesday - failed to avoid the Koreans, who apparently play slowly Monday to Friday mornings.   Will revert to Wednesdays next week.

Reasonable scores from everyone, but it's hard to beat Damien when he doesn't scrub any hole.

Front nine:       Mensforth (20) from Batty & Crathern (17)

Back nine:       Crathern & Whicker (16)

Overall:           Mensforth (34) from Crathern (33), Whicker (31), Pring (30)

Birdies:                  Whicker (par 4 eleventh)

Eclectic holes:       Mensforth (third)

Next week:     Wednesday - 9.40am tee

Sunday Competition (McCracken) & EET Singles

14/09/15:   McCracken

Fifteen starters on a hot (29C), sunny day with a mild breeze.   Fairways in fairly ordinary condition with the recently cored greens furry and very slow.

EET  Singles Competition 2015 - second round

(i)   Craig Burrett (reigning EET Singles Champion) snuck in over Ken Freestone

(ii)  Phil Methofer over George Cleland on the last hole after a very tight contest.   Phil's success was attributed to his meticulous pre-match preparation, in that he:

-  forgot to bring golf shoes and had to purchase a new pair from the pro-shop

-  played the match with his EET golf shirt inside out (the logo read OK in a mirror) 

-  warmed up with a cigarette while George was on the practice fairway  

Phil has now overtaken Damien in the EET Alzheimer's award (Damien recently cleaned his car before golf, then left his clubs & buggy in the garage and had to hire everything).

Peter Pring (38 points) dominated the Stableford competition, with daylight second.  Detailed descriptions of each hole were provided during the drive home.  Mere mortals included:

Beggs                         (32)

Milde & Methofer        (31)

Gordge & Townsend  (30)     

               

Long Drive:    Townsend - by a hundred metres

NTPs:             Cleland (on at least two par 3s), Mensforth

Wednesday Competition

03/09/15:  North Adelaide

Six starters on a cool, overcast, calm Thursday to avoid the downpour yesterday and the slow Koreans.  Found out that slow Koreans play on Thursdays as well.

Two teams of three, with team aggregate score winning.   Pring/Mensforth/Milde murdered Batty/Boyle/Whicker.

Front nine:      Pring (17) from lots with 14

Back nine:      Mensforth & Whicker (20) from Pring (19)

Overall:          Pring (36) from Mensforth & Whicker (34)

Birdies:

Greg:     Par 3 twelfth and par 5 fifteenth
