‘Curtis Sticks It to Them While Cardinal Nets the Cup’

 

group2

October 2002: The annual Shanka Invitational Tournament was held at Cape Shank in October 2002. While a somewhat smaller event than in previous years, the twelve invited players (which included a disappointing one South Australian – Pitte Man), exhibited outstanding dedication to the traditions of the event.

Roving Referee and photographer Íron-Guts Crossinski, maintained strict control and all players made it through the tournament relatively unscathed. While there was some debate over the ‘nobbling adjustment factor’ to be applied on the day, Íron-Guts was able to contain any outbreak of violence and the game went relatively smoothly.

While the competition was hot, Curtis prevailed with 89 to win the off-the-stick competition. However, his handicap of 13 (15 with a nobbling adjustment factor of 2 strokes), was not enough to displace the Cardinal’s net 71 (98 off the stick and handicap of 27 – what a gift!), making The Cardinal the Shanka Invitational Tournament Champion for 2003. “I’ve never been so insulted in all my life!” said The Cardinal as he was presented with the trophy.

Winner

The Cardinal also won the nearest the pin competition making it almost a clean sweep. He has agreed to defend his title at the 2003 event.

Five strokes back were Rubber Man, Curtis and the Pitte Man in equal second. Pitte Man’s performance was particularly notable, strongly representing the South Australian Brotherhood.

The rest of the field lagged some strokes behind (although Steff was only 3 behind), but were in good spirits (or drank some). The final results are shown in the following table:
