Standardised Event Report: ‘Nurse takes it out twice in a decade’
November 7^th 2017: So, it was raining lightly as the coffee and croissants started to flow 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 while the weather was questionable albeit perfectly suitable for golf, being an all-weather game.
Hence, the scene was set for another great day of competition between the 11 members invited to contest this prestigious event. In fact, it was the cream of the nnomads Golf Club membership base, who 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 Pup, Cinders, Freddie Five Iron and The Bloke, closely followed by The Cardinal, Co-event sponsor Rubber Man and Slugger in Group 2, with Thombei the Mist, Billy Bob Thornton, Nurse Min and Stavros the Greek in the final group. With such a highly skilled and competitive field like this, it was clearly going to be a [insert preferred headline] competition (see 2017 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 Pup’s [Rotate alternative headlines] longest drive on the 6^th and his [Rotate alternative headlines] NTP on the 8^thhole, The Bloke’s NTP on the 4^th hole, Billy Bob’s [Rotate alternative headlines] NTP on the 16^h, Rubber Man’s [Rotate alternative headlines] NTP on the 10^th.It is fair to say that the adoring gallery got their money’s worth that day (see On Course in 2017).

Nurse Min returns to the winner’s podium: But there was one player who stood out from the rest and that was Nurse Min (102,28,74), who ended up in front by a single stroke from a gaggle of player in equal 2^nd including Billy Bob Thornton, The Cardinal, Thombei the Mist and The Bloke. And as usual, most of the remaining field were within five strokes of each other, the nature of Callaway competition (see detailed results below). Of particular note was the fact that Nurse Min won the event in 2011 making this the 2^nd time he was on top of the podium in this aspirational event. Huge presentations: This meant the presentations back in the carpark were a [Rotate alternative headlines] celebration of Nurse Min’s [Rotate alternative headlines] performance (see Photos of 2017 presentations). ‘Well I am surprised really …” started out Nurse Min as he faced the media pack clambering for a comment from the returning champion (see 2017 Champion Winner Speech).

The Club committee congratulates Nurse Min 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.
