Stavros The
Greek - Winner on
Curtis - NTP |
‘Stavros
Sticks it out’ Well once again,
it was the reliable three that turned up to Yarrambat for the not-so-weekly
competition namely Stavros the Greek,
The Bloke and Curtis. And once again it was a Yarrambat kind of day with
beautiful weather and Yarrambat kind of conditions (questionable greens but better
than last time). But this
time somewhat different because it was Stavros
the Greek (94,25,69) that stuck it out to the
end to gain a three strokes under the card result and the claim to be a clear
winner on the day. That is not to mention Curtis
who took out the NTP on the 16th hole with a sensation ‘not in the
bunker’ shot, but that’s another story. All this
meant that Stavros the Greek took
out most of the points on the Bladder with Curtis taking minor points (see updated Bladder). And Stavros came
in a Stroke while the other remained the same (see latest handicaps). The committee congratulates Stavros
The Greek on a stunning result and reminds members of Phil Mickelson who famously said “The object of golf is not just to win. It’s to
play like a gentleman and win.” |

Curtis - Winner on |
‘Curtis
Cleans Up’ “So why don’t we ever play at Ivanhoe” asked Stavros the Greek
when trying to work out where to play? “What
a stupid question that was” commented The
Bloke to Curtis after the game “Because it’s a short, quirky, shity golf course. That’s Why!” retorted Curtis at the time. And of
course Curtis was right. Note to
self - Never play at Ivanhoe again! But it didn’t
matter because the weather was fine and the company awe-inspiring. And
despite the poor on-course conditions, Curtis
(81,15,66) blasted his way to two stroke under the
card result leaving The Bloke and Stavros in his wake. In addition, Curtis took out the only NTP on the
day giving him a clean sweep and all the available points on the Bladder (see
updated Bladder). Mind you the
slope rating was so low (103) that handicaps didn’t chasnge
(see latest handicaps). The committee congratulates Curtis
on an impressive result and reminds members of Arnold Palmer who famously said “Golf
is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated” |

Don Johnson - Winner on
The Bloke - NTP |
‘Don in
his domain’ So after
numerous rejections (not available type excuses), Stavros the Greek, The Bloke and Don Johnson played the first ‘Not So Weekly’ competition for 2015.
And of course Yarra Bend is one of Don
Johnson’s favourite courses - NOT. But the
perfect 28 degree sunny day with a light cool breeze type conditions, lifted
the trio’s spirits, setting up the perfect scenario for perfect golf. And while
that didn’t quite happen, perfect golf I mean, Don Johnson excelled on the day (96,24,72)
showing that he has recovered from injury and is setting the pace in the
2015. Mind you, The Bloke and Stavros were in the running right up until the
end in part exampled by The Blokes sensational NTP on the 3rd,
edging out The Don by less than a metre. This mean The Don and The Bloke took
the points on the Bladder (see updated
Bladder) while the handicaps were updated for the first time in 2015 (yes
very slack) resulting in numerous changes (see latest handicaps). The committee congratulates Don
Johnson on an excellent result and reminds members of Ted Ray who famously said “Golf is a fascinating game. It has taken me
forty years to discover I can’t play it” |
