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
