25/01/17: North Adelaide
Five starters on a perfect day for golf - about 27C and sunny. However, I can verify that the rough was long on each of the eighteen holes.
A couple of good rounds, with some great scores on the front nine by Don & Bob.
Front nine: Boyle (22) from Batty (21)
Back nine: Whicker (18)
Overall: Boyle (36) from Batty (35), Whicker (33)
Birdies:
Batty: Par 3 fifth - a curling, downhill putt of 4 metres, into the wind, sun in his eyes for a 2 for 5, thanks very much. He had a handy 11 points on three of the par 3s.
Next Week: Note the early start time of 9.50 am, North Adelaide, South Course

Wednesday Competition
18/01/17: North Adelaide
Just the four starters on a perfect day for summer golf - 26C and sunny, with a light breeze. Was pretty warm when the breeze died. Once again, the standard of golf didn't match the day, particularly on the back nine.
Following a few outstanding rounds recently, Phil went for a lesson from the professional at Lady Bay. That should stuff up his scores for the next 6 months or so.
Front nine: Whicker (18) from Milde (17), Batty (16)
Back nine: Methofer & Whicker (14)
Overall: Whicker (32)
Birdies:
Whicker on par 4 eighth
No four point holes.
Next week: North Adelaide 10.20 am

Wednesday Competition

Back nine: Boyle (15)
Overall: Boyle & Whicker (31)
Birdies:
Whicker: par 5 seventh
No four point holes;

Wednesday Competition, EET Singles Semi Final
25/12/2016: North Adelaide
Just five starters for the last Wednesday of 2016, on a hot, humid day, with forgettable scores all round. Generally, the GA handicap exceeded the stableford score, which can't be good !!
Front nine: Batty (14 points)
Back nine: Methofer (12)
Overall: Milde & Crathern (29 points)
04/01/2017: North Adelaide
Eight starters on a sunny day which proved that 33C is the maximum temperature for old farts to play golf. It also established a new rule for 2017 that bloody Methofer has to advise the rest of us, in advance, when he is going to have an "on" day - to save our time and trouble !!
Front nine: Methofer (24 points) from Freestone (19) and Whicker (18)
Back nine: Paul Crathern (23) from Pring (19)
Overall: Methofer (41) from Crathern-the-Younger (38), Pring (34), Whicker (33)
Birdies:
Whicker: Par 3 sixth
Four Point Holes:
Crathern: Par 4 thirteenth
Freestone: Par 4 third
EET Singles Competition - Semi Final
Freestone blitzed the course early to win 6 of the first seven holes. Boyle fought back strongly to lead by one on the eighteenth tee, but Freestone halved the match. Given the hot conditions, both players thought for a nano-second about extra holes, then decided to toss a coin.
Under extreme pressure, Ken triumphed (tails won it !!) so will play Damien in the prelim final, with the winner to play the perennial EET Singles Champ (Bronte).
