Event Report:

‘Teflon Runs AMOK on Australia Day

January 26^th 2012: There was an excellent turnout for the annual running of the Australia Masters Open Kup on Australia Day. As usual, the Growling Frog golf course had been prepared perfectly by the ground staff and the weather proved kind (although the wind came into play at various times during the day). Hence, the scene was set for another day of fearsome competition.

As usual, the AMOK attracted a high quality field of competitors as was exampled by the first group off the tee - current club champion The Bloke, immediate past Club Champion Pup, 2009 club champion Slugger and aspiring club champion Shags. They were followed by an equally impressive second group consisting of Teflon, The Hanging Judge, Freddie Five Iron and Markus Octavious. And not to be outdone, the final group was also as equally impressive including Brendoon, Nurse Min, Timmo and Bull. It was clear there was potential for a low scoring day (see AMOK player groups 2012).

Freddie gets a birdie: As it turned out that wasn’t the case although some fine golf was certainly played. For example, Freddie Five Iron played the shot of the day resulting in a birdie on the 9^th. He was in the right hand side bunker for two shots. He then proceeded to hit out of the bunker straight into the hole for three shots and a birdie. And yes, of course Freddie used his five iron to hit out of the bunker, a masterful stroke if I ever saw one. That put him an excellent mood for the second nine, as illustrated by his ongoing long animated conversations with the refreshment cart lady (but that’s another story). Suffice to say, the on-course conditions were great and the competitors lapped up the course (see on course at the AMOK 2012. Note: There aren’t any photos of Group 3 because they were so far behind play. Why was that guys? I never did find out).

Teflon Runs AMOK: As I was saying, scores at the end of the day were not all that low; in fact they were quite high because only one competitor ended under the card on net score. It should be said that club champion The Bloke played to the ACR (73) giving him outright second place, a pretty good performance (95,22,73). And indeed Markus Octavious was only one stroke behind him in outright third place, another pretty good performance (108,34,74). But the performance of the day came from Teflon who clearly ran AMOK putting in a five under the ACR performance and winning by five strokes (99,31,68).

Full Clubhouse for Presentations: As you would expect, the presentations were sensational with a long list of prize winners. The Hanging Judge got an NTP, as did Slugger, as did Timmo, as did The Bloke. Telfon won a Longest Drive as did Pup. And of course Freddie got a ball for his shot of the day. Then of course there was The Bloke getting balls for 2^nd, a ball for Octavious for third, and multiple balls and the trophy for AMOK 1012 champion Teflon (see AMOK 2012 presentations).

Thanks from Bloke: Consistent with most years, the presentations were all the more exciting because new club champion The Bloke was also presented with his nnomads Golf Club championship trophy for 2011, once again making it a glamorous affair. The Bloke’s acceptance speech was truly motivational and kept the gallery’s attention throughout. Note: It is extremely difficult to keep the attention of a nnomad for any length of time. Hence, The Bloke did a magnificent job keeping the full attention of everybody for the full length of his speech (see presentation speech from 2011 club champion).

The Club committee congratulates Teflon on his convincing win in the first major of 2012 and indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members that every game of golf adds a day to your life. So make sure you extend your life by booking for the next nnomads Golf Club major event, the ‘Blessed are the Big Nose’ Cup to be played on Good Friday. See you there.
