Wednesday Competition

Thursday 08/12/16:   The Vines, Reynella

Seven starters used  Pring's vouchers for the Vines on a cool, windy day that included a torrential downpour that drenched the second group on the eighteenth green.   The first group of Pring/Gordge/Batty, who were in the clubhouse having a beer, thought it funny.   A fitting finale for those who forgot 'the greens always slope to the sea, except for the ones that don't'.  Fortunately, the wet scorecards were mostly unreadable.

Front nine:     Milde (19) from Pring (16)
Back nine:     Milde (16) from Pring (15)
Overall:         Milde (35) from Pring (31)

Birdies:
Milde:      par 3 sixth - 190+ metres from the back of the elevated blue tees, into a howling gale, onto a visciously sloping green, with the sun in his eyes .......etc.....

Four Point Holes:
Gordge:     par 4 eleventh

The team of Milde/Whicker (OK, just Milde) too good for Methofer/Mensforth

Next week:    Wednesday North Adelaide, 10.19 am

Echunga Results

04/12/16:   Echunga

About 16 starters for the annual Xmas round at Echunga, with the traditional early tee time followed by BBQ lunch at the Prings.  Many thanks to the Prings, Bronte, Ross etc for the organisation, except for the fairly constant drizzle (which at least provided an excuse for the scores).

Prizes to:
Noel Wellman:                                37 points (no, really !!!)
Peter Pring & David Grybowski      35
Greg Whicker & Bronte Milde         34
Graeme Kewen                               32  
Paul Crathern                                  30

Long Drives:
Men:         Steve White
Ladies:      Kerri Oreo  (no, really !!!)

NTPs:      Noel Wellman, Bronte Milde, Kerri Oreo

Birdies:
Kevin Sampson     par 3 second

EET Singles Competition:
Bronte Milde snuck in over David Oreo to advance to the 2016 Singles Grand Final - the match didn't apparently reach great heights.

Bronte is most likely to be up against Damien Mensforth in the Grand Final - we're just awaiting the Boyle/Freestone quarter-final, with the winner to play Damien in the semi-final.

HIghlights:     
(i)    Given the Echunga results, Kerri is currently the 'winningest' golfer in the Oreo household.
(ii)    Helen Cooper bolted in the women's competition.
