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)
