Event Report:

‘Rubber Man Reigns Supreme’

September 22nd 2014: So it was Curtis who started it all off with his moaning about the inclusion of the Western Australian Invitational Tournament (WAIT) as a nnomads Golf Club sanctioned event and his threat to run a series of nnomads competitions that no one was invited to except a select few. “Well that’s what the Mild Colonial Boy did. I wasn’t invited to the WAIT. I read about it after the fact.” In fact Curtis had even come up with new event names such as the RORT before suddenly finding that eight players were going to turn up for a weekly competition which automatically made the outing a Triggered Major, the second for 2014.

Quality field: As you would expect, the cream of the nnomads GC crop turned out including Rubber Man, The Bloke, Nurse Min and Pup in the first group, followed by Stavros the Greek, Markus Octavious and Curtis in the second group. Unfortunately Freddie Five Iron was a late cancelation and sorely missed – get well soon Freddie (see TM 2 14 player groups).

Another Yarrambat day: As readers may or may not know, Yarrambat has been a no-go-zone for some months because of damage to a series of greens which made the course unplayable. But players were delighted to find the course in lovely condition which complimented the magnificent weather making it another Yarrambat kind of day. Such conditions set up a perfect scenario for some exceptional on course play which was exampled by Curtis’s sensational NTP on the 5^th, Pup’s brilliant NTP on the 8^th, Rubber Man’s amazing longest drive on the 9^th, The Bloke’s exceptional NTP on the 12^th and Pup’s eye boggling longest drive on the 15th (see on course at the TM2).

Rubber Man Reigns Supreme: But the story of the day was Rubber Man (92,23,69) who produced a three strokes under the card performance and edged out a two strokes under the card performance by Nurse Min (105,35,70) by one stroke. And both players were strokes in front of anyone else in the field illustrating just how good these performances really were. Logically, this meant universal and acclaimed recognition during the presentations in the car park as previous Triggered Major champion Markus Octavious passed on the fabulous trophy to Rubber Man. “Thanks for a beautiful day and thanks to the organisers ….” started out Rubber Man in his acceptance speech which incidentally was considered one of the better speeches given so far in 2014 (see 2014 Triggered Major 2 Champions speech and TM 2 Presentations).

The Club committee congratulates Rubber Man on a truly sensational performance and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also notes that standings in the club championship are getting tighter and tighter as we enter the business end of the 2014 competition season. This means that all nnomads GC members need to be entering the remaining competitions, starting with the Tulum Sands Callaway Classic (TCSC) and the Balnarring Invitational Tournament (BIT) in two weeks’ time. So see you there!
