Wednesday Competition

Monday 21/12/15:  North Adelaide

Five starters in beautiful 25C conditions which, according to Pring, were a true test of golf identifying the best golfers.  With only small prizemoney on offer, Damien was always going to save himself (and his handicap) for a larger pot.

Front nine:    Pring (23), from Whicker (18)

Back nine:     Pring & Methofer (18)

Overall:         Pring (41), daylight second, Whicker & Methofer (32)

Birdies:

Greg:            Par 3 fifth

Four point holes:

Phil:          Temporary par 4 hole 15A

Next week:    Lady Bay - Tuesday (contact Bronte)
                    North Adelaide - Wednesday 10.30 if not too hot.

Wednesday Competition

16/12/15:   North Adelaide

A day for only the hardiest souls - forecast 39C, but reached 41C.   A 9.20 am tee meant beers by 1.00 pm for the 3 starters (Crathern, Batty & Methofer).   Pretty reasonable scores for what was a hot, but not stifling round.

Front:      Phil (19)
Back:      Kevin (21) from Bob (17)
Overall:   Kevin (34) from Phil (33) & Bob (31)

Four point holes:
Phil:    par 5 second
Bob:   par 3 fifteenth.

Next week:      Monday 10.30 am  (to avoid hot weather on Wednesday)

Wednesday Competition

09/12/15:  North Adelaide

Eight starters on another perfect day for golf - about 25C and sunny with a faint breeze.   Very good conditions and scores, with every player exceeded 30 points.   Pring and Crathern played well, their team surprisingly sneaking in over the Boyle/Whicker combination (with Don in no doubt as to who let his team down).  Bob Batty had his best score to date.

Front nine:      Batty, Gordge, Pring & Boyle (18), Beggs (17), Mensforth (16)
Back nine:      Crathern (25) from Pring (21), Whicker (19), Batty (18), Beggs (17)
Overall:          Pring & Crathern (39) from Batty (36), Gordge & Beggs (34), Boyle & Whicker (33), Mensforth (30)

Birdies:
Boyle:         Par 4 tenth (a superb 3 wood approach after a deliberately short drive)
Gordge:      Par 5 seventh

Four point holes;
Batty:        Par 3 fifteenth
Crathern:  Par 4 fourteenth
Pring:       Par 4 seventeenth

Eclectic Holes:
Boyle:       tenth and fourteenth
Crathern:  eleventh
Gordge:    seventh
Batty:       eighteenth

Next week:   North Adelaide - 10.30 am tee

Echunga and EET Singles Final results

06/12/15:    Echunga

Hot - damn hot for the twelve starters, but the early tee time and cloud cover made it just bearable.  Reached 41.5 C after we finished.

EET Singles Final:

Steve White continued his outstanding recent form with a blistering front nine (20 points) to triumph over Kevin Crathern.   It's a bit hard to win in match play when your opponent scores 37 stableford points.   Well done to Steve.   

Surprisingly, the 2015 Singles title was actually won during 2015 - well done to all. 

Sunday Competition results:
Well done to:
Bronte Milde & Steve White:            37 points (Bronte on  a countback of course)
Helen Cooper & Greg Whicker        34
Jenny Wellman & David Oreo          31
Lots of really good golfers on 29

Birdies:
Whicker:     par 3 second, par 4 thirteenth and par 4 fifteenth

Four point holes: 
Helen:      par 4 holes -  fifth, eighth and sixteenth

Long drives:
Helen and Ross

NTPs:
Greg

Wednesday Competition

02/12/15:  North Adelaide

Eight starters on a perfect day - 25C and sunny with a slight, variable breeze.  Course in very good condition with the greens quite quick (for Nth Adelaide).

Fairly forgettable golf all round, with the back nine scores generally poor.

Front nine:     Pring (19), from Mensforth (18), Crathern & Methofer (17)

Back nine:     Gordge (20), Crathern & Methofer (15)

Overall:         Pring (33) from Crathern & Methofer (32), Mensforth (30)

Birdie / Eclectic Holes:   

Pring - par 5 second.      His third shot was uphill, from long grass with multiple large trees precluding a view of either the green or the flag.  As it finished two feet from the hole, with no apology forthcoming, the score is subject to administrative review.

No other highlights, birdies or four point holes.

Next week:    Wednesday 10.30 am North Adelaide
