2016 Singles Competition: - first round

(i)    Bronte Milde snuck in over Paul Crathern on a play-off hole.   There is absolutely no truth to the rumour that Paul's lost ball during that play-off hole was later found in Bronte's pocket.
(ii)   Damien Mensforth snuck in over Dave Bartlett (headline reads "Past defeats Future")
(iii)  Steve White snuck in over Greg Whicker - deja vu all over again !!

Wednesday Competition

15/06/16:  North Adelaide

Nine starters, who once again wish to remain anonymous, on the most perfect day for golf - sunny, calm and ~20C.   Tees still well back, with little fairway run.  Again, no-one reached 30 stableford points and my border collie is refusing to eat any more score-cards.

Front nine:    Whicker (15), Boyle (14)
Back nine:     Gordge (15), Crathern (14)
Overall:         Whicker (28), with several very talented, handsome & witty golfers on 27 & 26

Birdies:                   Whicker - par 3 sixth (another lucky putt)
Four point holes:     Yeah, sure !!
Eclectic holes:
Gordge:           10th, 11th, 13th, 17th
Mensforth:       3rd
Whicker:          6th

Next week:      North Adelaide - 10.30 am

Wednesday Competition

07/06/16:  North Adelaide

Five starters, who all wish to remain anonymous, played on the Tuesday to avoid the forecast wet Wednesday.   A beautiful day (cool & calm) on which golf was the clear winner - helped by (i) a total lack of run on the fairways and (ii) the blue tees being as far back as possible.

On such a lovely day, participation was far more important than competition - so scores will not be publicised.

No birdies, no four point holes and only Eddie (doh !!) improved his eclectic score.

Next week:    Wednesday, 10.30 am tee

Wednesday Competition

01/06/16:   North Adelaide

Back nine:     Whicker (14) - slightly embarrassed to take the money
Overall:         Mensforth (32) from Gordge (31), Whicker (30)

Birdies:                 Whicker:  par 4 first
Four point holes:   Nil

Eclectic Holes:
Gordge:        holes 3, 4 and 13
