Event Report:

‘Pup’s performance leads to a VOMIT

June 10th 2012: Well, The Cardinal was true to his word as he blessed all nine competitors with a Kahlua communion prior to tee off for the annual running of the Victorian Open Masters Invitational Tournament at Yarrambat Park early in June.

Team bonding on display: And as this was both an Individual and Teams event you could see the teams bonding as they stepped up to the tee. For example, event organiser The Cardinal, reigning champion The Hanging Judge and Rubber Man all went for a second communion before leading the field away. Stavros, The Bloke and Pup in the second team gathered around the cross for a quick prayer before teeing off while Freddie Five Iron, Shags and Slugger in the final team did all of that then upstaged the other teams with a group hug in front of the media (see VOMIT player groups 2012).

Another Yarrambat sort of day: It had been raining all week implying that Yarrambat Park may have been a little heavy underfoot for the event – wrong!  Well sort of, but it didn’t throw these hardy competitors. In fact, the bunkers were GUR on the day which competitors used to advantage. Indeed, the fine breathless conditions made it the perfect platform for some really exciting competition golf. Even Curtis turned up to taunt and jeer players on the last five holes. And all the while, competitors received leadership and guidance from The Cardinal in the form of a huge white cross to follow (bolted to back his of cart). It was a sight to behold (see on course at the VOMIT 2012).

Pup’s Performance lead to a VOMIT: Whether or not Pup’s sensational 90 strokes off the stick (90,21,69) was as a result of the blessing from The Cardinal was a fierce point of debate. Either way, Pup ended up a full three strokes under the card and three strokes under the ACR, a brilliant performance in anyone’s language. Stavros came in second with one stroke under the card (97,26,71) followed by Slugger a further stroke behind and even with the card (95,23,72). Nice work chasps! Team Bloke-Teflon-Pup took out the teams’ competition while Shags grabbed the longest drive, The Cardinal an NTP and The Bloke the remaining NTP.

VOMIT at Presentations: So that set the scene for the presentations, and true to his word The Cardinal demanded that the new VOMIT champion Pup - skull a tankard of The Cardinals slightly warm vomit before presentation of the trophy. And believe it or not Pup , being the man he is, faced up the task and took it like a fool, I mean man! Well, the gallery went crazy as it watched this MACHO-manly display truly worthy of a VOMIT champion. The scene was a nothing short of a visual delight for one and all (see photos of VOMIT 2012 presentations and video of VOMIT Champion 2012 speech or if you are game…. see the Full Monty Presentation and Speech ).

Some controversy with teams’ event: As you would expect, there is always some controversy with these major events and this time it was a stuff up in the team event scoring. Stavros was left on his own to calculate the results (a mistake at the best of times), resulting in Team Three - Shags, Freddie and Slugger being announced as winners. Then after a quick recalculation (prompted by Curtis who could still add up at the time), the result was withdrawn and Team Two – Stavros, The Bloke and Pup were announced as winners (see video of Team Presentation Debacle). Now it wouldn’t have been such a problem if the prizes hadn’t involved beer. But they did, which meant that Freddie, Slugger and Shags were handed a six pack of German beer each and then asked to return it. Shags was particularly outraged because minutes before he had also mistakenly been given two additional balls for his longest drive and asked to return those as well. “I don’t mind playing in these competitions but all this taunting with balls and beer does my head in” professed Shags as he shook his head in disbelief while refusing to be photographed with his single prize ball for the Longest Drive.

The Club committee congratulates Pup on his very convincing win, Team Bloke-Teflon-Pup on their controversial win and of course all other prize getters on the day. The Committee extends particular thanks to The Cardinal for putting on another brilliant and memorable event, albeit with some visual bits you might want to forget.
