Wednesday Competition

19/06/17:   Blackwood

Six starters used vouchers for another round at Blackwood.   The scores did not reflect the lovely weather and excellent course, with only "Mr Consistency" (Bob Batty 36 points) and Kev Crathern (30 points) holding their heads up.

From the scores, it appears that our Secretary pulled out after 9 holes - but maybe not !!


21/06/17:    North Adelaide

Pring reports:   another glorious day - tops, vests, etc came off after the second hole, and stayed off until the end.   Probably raining next week, so we enjoyed it while we could.  

Winner on the day – Phil Methofer 34 points, from Bob Batty and the Meister 33.

Methofer 3 for 4 on the temporary 12^th – no apologies!

Peter Harding 3 for 4 on the par three 16^th.   He promptly made up for it on the 17th .

Meister lipped out about 5 times (comment: he has always been the second-most unlucky golfer in the EET).

Next week:   Wed  28/06/17:   South Course - 10.19am & 10.26 booked

Sunday Competition - Murray Bridge

11/06/17:  Murray Bridge

Fourteen starters in perfect weather for golf, including a guest appearance by Joe Manning, a foundation member of the EET.       Lots of really good golfers with scores in the high 20s.

Ball winners (if we had any): 

Gordge:                      38 points
Batty:                          34
Whicker & Milde         32
Townsend:                  31                     

Birdies:
Gordge:           par 3 seventeenth

Womens' Competition:

Best score:     Helen Cooper - and nearly won the long drive and six NTPs.

Helen also had a highlight on the ninth hole (a par 4 and one of the easiest on the course).   Her five for 4 points, with no sign of an apology, would have made Damien blush.

Wednesday Competition

31/05/17:   North Adelaide

Seven starters on a perfect day for golf for the last day of Autumn (sunny, calm, 16C), featuring a welcome return from injury by Don Boyle.  The course is in excellent condition, with the greens unusually quick.   Lots of eclectic holes today.

Front nine:     Whicker (18) from Boyle (17), Milde (15)
Back nine:      Batty (20) from Boyle & Whicker (18), Milde & Harding (16), Crathern (15)
Overall:          Whicker (36), Boyle (35), Batty & Milde (31)

Birdies:
Whicker:        par 3 sixth, par 3 eleventh, par 4 thirteenth (apparently, a 70m chip-in is pure arse)

Eclectic Holes:
Harding:          8th (6), 17th (5), 18th (5)
Crathern:         7th (5)
Milde:              13th (4)
Batty:               2nd (6), 11th (4)
Boyle:              2nd (5), 14th (5)
Whicker:          11th (2)

Highlight:
Boyle, stymied behind the pine tree just short and left of the tenth green (with the flag back and extreme left), used the steep embankment on the RHS of the green to finish within 4 feet and sink the putt.   Described as the "greatest up & down ever played in the history of golf".    Wasn't bad.

Next week:    North Adelaide - 10.19 & 10.25 am
