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).
