Event Report:

‘The Bloke runs AMOK at the Frog’

January 26^th 2015: As is often the case with this event, only eight of nine confirmed players turned up on the day for the annual running of the Australia Masters Open Kup at the Growling Frog (What happened to the Cardinal?). “Look I was renovating at the time and I gave you a few hours’ notice. What more do you expect” explained the Cardinal by text after reading this article. But it didn’t matter because this meant there were two groups to battle it out on a somewhat windy but pleasant sort of day.

Cream of the crop: And what quality groups they were with Billy Bob Thornton, The Bloke, Rubber Man and Markus Octavious in the first group and Pup, Nurse Min, Stavros the Greek and Freddie Five Iron in the second group illustrating that the cream of the crop were in attendance. Once again, it meant it was bound to be a fierce competition (see AMOK player groups 2015).

Fierce competition on course: And that is exactly what happened, in that, the quality of the golf on display was as good as it ever has been, fully entertaining the adoring gallery throughout the day (mainly made up of disinterested kangaroos). “Now that is not saying very much. So it was probably a good call to go sailing” tweeted Don Johnson on Twitter after reading the previous line. “Look here Don, we aspire to be the upper echelons of mediocre golf and we achieved that admirably” retweeted soon to be crowned 2014 club champion Rubber Man on receiving The Don’s tweet. And of course Rubber Man was right, perfectly illustrated by The Blokes sensation NTP on the 2^nd, and his fantastic Longest Drive on the 8^th. Equally illustrating this point, was Nurse Min’s glorious NTP on the 16^th and Stavros the Greek’s magnificent Longest drive on the 15^th. Hence, as you can imagine, it was a truly sensational day (see on course at the AMOK 2015).

The Bloke ran AMOK: However, by the end of the round a clear winner emerged being The Bloke, who put in a one over the card performance (91,18,73) to beat Pup (97,21,76) three strokes behind, with Rubber Man (101,21,80) a further four strokes behind. The Bloke was also best off the stick on the day which when combined with his Longest Drive and NTP, made it a truly memorable performance. “I had to do something to offset the depression generated by passing on the club champion’s trophy.” added The Bloke later in the day.

Appropriate presentations: As you can imagine, the presentations in the car park afterwards appropriately celebrated all winners on the day. And as you can imagine, the gallery burst into cheering and applause as The Bloke was handed the perpetual AMOK trophy for 2015. “It’s been a terrific event. Windy, but a great day for golf …” started out The Bloke who then went on and on and on about his new driver being a key reason he won the event (see video of the 2015 AMOK Champion’s speech and photos of the AMOK 2015 presentations). This of course means that The Bloke leads the club championship at this point in time albeit very early in the 2015 competition year.

The Club committee congratulates The Bloke on taking out the first major of 2015 and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members that the next nnomads Golf Club major event, is a ‘Triggered Major’ to be played on Labour Day, Monday the 9^th of March. So book early for this not-to-be-missed event to avoid disappointment.
