Good Friday and Wednesday Results
Wednesday 23/03/16: North Adelaide
Seven starters on a perfect Autumn day for golf, featuring a guest appearance (donation) from Ken Freestone and some god-awful golf (except for Phil). My border collie is still trying to digest most of the cards.
Front nine: Phil Methofer (21)
Back nine: Bronte Milde (17)
Overall: Methofer (34) from Milde (31)
Phil's birdie 2 for 5 points on the fifth was the only highlight of the day (and no apology)
Good Friday 25/03/16: Oakbank
Fourteen starters for most people's first look at the Oakbank course. Perfect weather, with the fairways in reasonable condition and a beautiful texture on the greens.
Some pretty ordinary scores, except for the brilliance of Oreo (38 points) and the consistency of Crathern K (35 points).
Highlights:
(i) David Oreo: second shot on the par 5 fifteenth was majestic. Wimped the eagle putt, but an easy birdie.
(ii) Helen Cooper: birdie four for 5 points on the par 5 sixth.
Many thanks to the Prings for the BBQ etc. afterwards.
