The Bloke 3rd November 2015 Yarra Bend |
Standardised Event
Report: ‘Bloke Takes 2nd Melbourne Cup Cup’ |
|
November 3rd 2015: So
it turned out to be a perfect day for the annual running of the Melbourne Cup
Cup held at its traditional Yarra Bend home, albeit
starting much later than it usually does. This meant Café-de-Steph opened at
a civilised hour in the carpark but was not enough to lure The Hanging Judge to compete, a man known
to avoid early morning golf whenever possible. |
|
Within this
context, a solid cross section from the cream of the nnomads
Golf Club membership base turned out, creating only what could be described
as a [insert preferred headline]. Preferred headline alternatives – 1) Impressive field, 2) Top class
field, 3) Sensational field, 4) Magnificent field and 5) Awe-inspiring Field: First onto
the tee in Group 1 were event sponsor
Rubber Man, The Cardinal, Stavros the Greek and Slugger, closely followed by Nurse
Min, The Bloke, Billy Bob Thornton and
Markus Octavious in Group 2 with Freddie Five Iron, Don Johnson, Cinders and
event sponsor Pup rounding out the
field in the final group. With such a highly skilled and competitive field
like this, it was clearly going to be a [insert first word from preferred headline] competition (see 2015 Player Groups). |
|
Pure quality on
course: And that is exactly how it turned out
with a truly a [Rotate first words from list of preferred headlines] a display of how to play competition golf. Perfect examples
of such expertise included The Blokes
[Rotate first words from

on the 4th and 10th holes, Billy Bob Thornton’s [Rotate first words from list of preferred
headlines] NTP on the 8h, Cinders’ [Rotate first words from list of preferred
headlines] Longest Drive on the 6th and
Don Johnson’s [Rotate first words from
list of preferred headlines] Longest Drive 15th.
It is fair to say that the adoring gallery got their money’s worth that day
(see On Course in 2015). |

Bloke takes another
one: But there was one player who stood out
from the rest and that was The Bloke (94,21,73)
who ended up with a whopping Callaway handicap that gave him a two stroke
margin over equal 2nd place getters Billy Bob Thornton (98,23,75)
and event sponsor Pup (95,20,75). And as usual, most of the remaining field
were within five strokes, the natute of Callaway
competition (see detailed results
below). Huge presentations: This meant
the presentations back in the carpark were a [Rotate first words from list of preferred
headlines] celebration of The Bloke’s [Rotate first words from list of preferred headlines] performance (see Photos of 2015 presentations). ‘Fabulous’ started out The Bloke replying to the media pack clambering
for a comment from the returning champion, and then on and on he went (see
2015 Champion Winner Speech). |
|
The Club
committee congratulates The Bloke on
his Rotate first words from

and indeed all other winners on the day. The committee also reminds members
to book early for the next major nnomads Golf Club
event – The ‘Shanksy Invitational Tournament’ (The SHIT)
in early December. So see you
there. |
