Wednesday Competition

19/07/17:  North Adelaide

Five starters on a pleasant, cool day with the course in very ordinary condition following recent heavy rain.   Good to see Damien back in full swing after a lengthy recovery period from his heart scare.    He recorded 5 eclectic holes on the day.

Front nine:        Mensforth (17)
Back nine:        Whicker (18) from Methofer (16)
Overall:             Mensforth & Whicker (31)

Highlight:   Due solely to the Milde prize-giving system,  Whicker & Mensforth (as joint overall winners, and winners on the front & back nine respectively) pocketed $2.50 each.     Pring (second with 14 on the front nine) and Methofer (second with 16 on the back nine) pocketed $5.00 each.   Multiple protests were simply outvoted, including a vote by Boyle (who didn't bloody play).

Next week:   Wednesday  10.12 am and 10.19 am  North Adelaide

Sunday Comp: Thaxted Park

16/07/17:   Thaxted Park

Seventeen starters on a cold, windy, day with a shower mid-round just to cap it off. 

Scores ranged from ordinary to appalling, but were memorable for the fact that Helen Cooper won not only the Women's Comp, but also the Overall Competition (on a countback from Kevin & Paul Crathern).   

Helen is thought to be the first female 'overall' winner in EET history.  As she outscored each of the Ferals on both nines and she is currently leading the footy tipping competition, she is really starting to piss people off. 

Ball Winners (on a really cheap day for the Club):
Cooper, Crathern K and Crathern P   (30)

Birdies:
K Crathern:      par 4 sixth
D Oreo:            par 4 thirteenth

Long Drives:
Burrett and Cooper

NTPs:
Cleland

Wednesday Competition

05/07/12:   North Adelaide

Phil reports:

A splendid day of golf with few people on the course, so no hold ups - and some impressive golf.    Batty & Methofer were joined by Peter Harding on the third after he had 'restyled' his garage door!!

Front nine:   Methofer (16) 
Back nine:    Methofer (23) from Batty (19) & Harding (18).

Eclectic Holes:
Batty:         10th (4)
Methofer:   15th (4) and 18th (4)


12/07/17:   North Adelaide

Seven starters on a magic day for golf, with guest appearances by Ross & George (who took the honours after an even-par back nine).    Milde, with 38 points, must have thought he was playing at Victor Harbor.

Back nine:         Cleland (24) from Milde (20), Batty (17), Whicker (16)
Overall:             Cleland (39) from Milde (38), Townsend (31)
