Standardised Event Report: ‘Pup returns to MCC winner podium’
November 2nd 2016: As usual, Cinders was on the scene at 6.15am to sample a coffee and croissant at Café-de-Steph, in the carpark at Yarra Bend golf course, the traditional starting point for the annual running of the Melbourne Cup Cup. The course was in superb condition and the weather perfectly suitable for golf, setting the scene for a great day of competition between 10 players fortunate enough to have gained entry to this prestigious event. Then came news of Slugger’s withdrawal (tripped over a step and broke a rib on the BBQ), followed by Freddie Five Iron’s withdrawal (forgot to set alarm and slept in after going to bed very early in a sober condition), which left eight players. But as tee-off time approached, then arrived and then passed, there was no sight of The Cardinal (who later explained he couldn’t be bothered).
But it didn’t matter because the remaining 7 players, the cream of the nnomads Golf Club membership base, teed-off into a glorious morning as what could only be described as a [insert preferred headline] field. Preferred headline alternatives – 1) Impressive, 2) Top class, 3) Sensational, 4) Magnificent and 5) Awe-inspiring. First onto the tee in Group 1 were event co-sponsor Rubber Man, Cinders and Billy Bob Thornton, closely followed by Nurse Min, The Bloke, Stavros the Greek and event co-sponsor Pup in Group 2 With such a highly skilled and competitive field like this, it was clearly going to be a [insert preferred headline] competition (see 2016 Player Groups).

Standout quality on course: And that is exactly how it turned out with a truly a [Rotate alternative headlines] a display of how to play competition golf. Perfect examples of such expertise included Cinder’s [Rotate alternative headlines] NTP on the 4^thhole, The Bloke’s NTP on the 10^th hole, Stavros the Greek’s [Rotate alternative headlines] NTP on the 14^h, Pup’s [Rotate alternative headlines] Longest Drive on the 6^th and Stavros the Greek’s [Rotate alternative headlines] Longest Drive 15^th. It is fair to say that the adoring gallery got their money’s worth that day (see On Course in 2015).	On course at the MCC 2016 Photos.
Pup returns to the winner’s podium: But there was one player who stood out from the rest and that was Pup (84,23,61) who ended up nine strokes under the card and best off the stick. However, this was a Callaway event which of course Pup won easily being nine strokes under the card and best off the stick. And as usual, most of the remaining field were within five strokes of each other, the nature of Callaway competition (see detailed results below). Huge presentations: This meant the presentations back in the carpark were a [Rotate alternative headlines] celebration of Pup’s [Rotate alternative headlines] performance (see Photos of 2016 presentations). ‘Well I haven’t played much golf recently so maybe that’s the secret’ explained Pup to the media pack clambering for a comment from the returning champion (see 2015 Champion Winner Speech).

The Club committee congratulates Pup on his [Rotate alternative headlines] return to the MCC winners podium 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 2^nd Triggered Major in early December. So see you there.
