11/03/2018: Patawalonga
Fourteen starters in perfect weather (although a touch warm by the finish) with a clear blue sky and a slight breeze (~ 1 club). The course was in excellent condition.
Highlights:
- As is usual at the Pat, scores were generally good. Kev Crathern made a mess of the competition with 46 points, including 25 on the back nine. Vin-like.
- First EET appearance (and 40 points) by Sam Wellman, aka 'Son of Noel'. His modesty, talent and quietness-on-course suggests he was adopted.
- The Acting-Captain's speech after the game was outstanding.
EET Singles Competition 2018 - first round. Four matches decided:
- Jill Thomas by 1 shot over George Cleland. George's 19/19/38 round didn't quite overcome the 28 shots he had to give Jill.
- Stephen Gordge def Noel Wellman (who was dogged by bad luck, as usual)
- Helen Cooper def Peter Harding (despite a slightly sluggish start - 14 on the first)
- Greg Whicker def Paul Crathern (Steve White will be surprised)

Wednesday Competition
28/02/2018: Willunga
Six starters on our first visit to Willunga for a long, long time. On a perfect day for golf, the course was very busy, well maintained and interesting, with a number of huge greens. Overall, a pleasant course which is relatively short, but worth an occasional visit.
The highlight of the day was Bronte (henceforth "the new Damien"), arriving at the course without his golf clubs. Scores were generally pretty average, with Mal Freeman winning the day on only his second round with EET.
Front nine: Harding (17) from Freeman (16)
Back nine: Crathern (18) from Freeman & Methofer (17), Whicker & Cleland (16)
Overall: Freeman (33) from Harding & Crathern (32), Methofer (31)
Next Week: TUESDAY Mt Osmond 12.30 pm (two tees)
Whicker has 3 Entertainment Book vouchers - can someone please bring one more (just in case).
