Standardised Event Report: ‘Bloke Growls at Santa’
December 27th 2016: Predictions started at 35 degrees, then dropped to 32 degrees, and then 30 degrees. But the temperature settled at around a very pleasant 28 degrees for the final nnomads Golf Club major event for 2016, being the Santa Decanter, played at The growling Frog in truly superb condition
Being the final event for the year, 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] field. Preferred headline alternatives – 1) Impressive field, 2) Top class field, 3) Sensational field, 4) Magnificent field and 5) Awe-inspiring: First onto the tee in Group 1 were Reigning Santa Decanter Champion Pup, The Bloke and The Cardinal, closely followed by Stavros the Greek, Markus Octavious, Freddie Five Iron and Nurse Min in the 2nd group. With such a highly skilled field like this, it was clearly going to be a [insert preferred headline] competition (see 2016 Player Groups).	SD Player groups 2016 Photos
Pure quality on course: And that is exactly how it turned out with a truly a [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] a display of how to play competition golf. Perfect examples of such expertise included The Blokes [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] NTPs on the 2nd and 5^th holes, Pup’s [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] NTP on the 12^th hole, The Cardinals [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] Longest Drive on the 8^th and Stavros The Greek’s [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] Longest Drive on the 15^th. It is fair to say that the adoring gallery got their money’s worth that day (see On Course in 2016).	On course at the SD 2016 Photos.
Bloke Growls at Santa: But there was one player who stood out from the rest and that was The Bloke (90,17733) who ended up one stroke over the card, and four strokes better than 2^nd place getter Pup (96,19,77) with Nuse Min (109,31,78) further back in 3^rd place (see detailed results below). Hillarious presentations: This meant the presentations back in the carpark were a [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] celebration of The Blokes’s [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] performance (see Photos of 2016 presentations). “Well, it would be better if I held the trophy the right way round …” started out the newly crowned champion to our roving reporter which was deemed to be too boring to record so the cameraman gave up (see 2016 SD winner’s non-Speech).

The Club committee congratulates The Bloke on his [Rotate from list of preferred headlines] win and indeed all other winners on the day. The committee also announces that the 2016 club champion doesn’t exist because The Bloke and Pup ended up with exactly the same average score meaning they will be joint club champions in 2016. This also means that members need to prepare for the 1^st major event in 2016, the Australian Masters Open Kup (AMOK) to be run at the Growling Frog on Australia day in late January at which the new champions will be formally presented with their trophy. So book early and see you there.
