25/05/16: Patawalonga
With North Adelaide unavailable, five hardy souls drove through steady rain to the Pat and played the first hole or two in drizzle. Miraculously, the rain then held off for the rest of the round and back nine scores were pretty reasonable.
Front nine: Crathern & Boyle (16)
Back nine: Boyle & Whicker (23), from Crathern (22) and Batty (18)
Overall: Boyle (39) from Crathern (38), Whicker (37) and Batty (31)
Birdies:
Boyle: par 3 twelfth
Crathern: par 4 eighteenth
Whicker: par 3 twelfth
Four Point Holes:
Boyle: par 4 eighth
Batty: par 4 tenth
Mensforth: par 3 twelfth
Next week: Wednesday, North Adelaide, 10.30 am

Results from Glenelg, The Vines & Nth Adelaide
Wednesday 11/05/16: North Adelaide
Seven starters on a lovely autumn day for golf, with diabolical scores - no one reached 30 points.
Front nine: Whicker (17) from Methofer (16)
Back nine: Beggs (14)
Overall: Methofer & Whicker (29)
Sunday 15/05/16: Glenelg
Many thanks to 'The Future' and his long-suffering wife for the pre-match BBQ.
Eighteen EET members were then let loose on the Glenelg course in beautiful weather, although darkness disrupted the last hole or two for some.
Only Beggs (33), Gordge & Freestone (31) walked away with their heads moderately high. Note that:
- With Welmann overseas, no-one landed on the clubhouse roof
- Jill Thomas confirmed that all 57 bunkers on the course were in excellent condition.
Birdies:
Oreo: par 4 sixth
Burrett: par 5 twelfth
Four Point Holes:
Beggs par 4 thirteenth and par 4 fifteenth
Freestone: par 4 eighth and par 4 tenth
Batty: par 5 twelfth
Crathern P: par 3 eleventh and par 5 eighteenth
Cooper: par 4 eighth and par 4 seventeenth
Thomas: par 4 thirteenth
2016 Singles Comp:
Darkness prevented futher play with Oreo one-up after 17 holes. Pring is adamant that he would have won the 18th (his signature hole) and any subsequent play-off. However, since he is about to swan off overseas again, he has let Oreo progress to the next round - what a guy !!
Thursday 19/05/16: The Vines
Nine starters took advantage of vouchers for the Vines on a day when forecast showers held off. Only three beat 30 points, with Bob Batty having a career-best 39 points. I am told that his short game & putting was outstanding.
Question: Having seen Bob putt on the flat greens at North Adelaide, how the hell can he sink putts on the Vines' greens that are either unreadable or optical illusions ??
Batty (39), from Methofer (33) and Milde (30)
