Barossa Valley and Wednesday Comp

Wednesday 24/08/16:    North Adelaide

Five starters, including the welcome return of Bob Batty (9 holes), on a nice day for golf.

The very ordinary run of scores throughout this winter continued, with 30 points never threatened.    Milde triumphed, but it was a bit like watching the Power beat Gold Coast.  


Sunday 28/08/16:   Barossa Valley (Nuriootpa)   - Report from the Meister

Sunny with a cold breeze to start with, but eventually everyone had their jumpers off.  Glorious day indeed.

NTPs                  Kenny Freestone, Paul Crathern, Slugger, Jenny Wellman, and the Meister
Long Drives      Helen Cooper and Kenny Freestone
5 point holes   Helen Cooper – par 4 sixteenth (Geez!  Parred it with three handicap shots!)
4 point holes   
-     Kerri Oreo - Par 4 eighth and Par 4 eighteenth
-    Jenny Wellman - Par 3 fifteenth
-    Helen Cooper – Par 5 second and par 5 fourteenth
-    Kenny Freestone – par 5 second, par 5 fifth, par 4 eighth (then fell away badly after 23 points on the front nine)
-     Meister – par 5 second

Winner on the day
The Meister with 38 points!

Second – daylight, closely followed by Kenny Freestone on 33, Helen Cooper 32, Don Boyle 32, and Dave Oreo on 30 big ones were all the ball-winners.

Comments:

-      Good to see the women improving, even if a little  inconsistent still, but dominating the four point hole leaderboard.    Just need to eliminate a couple of scrubs per round.

 -      We are all eagerly anticipating the day that Jenny Wellman has a lower handicap than the Vice President.  It is getting closer!
