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)

Next Wednesday:       North Adelaide - 10.30 am
