Stavros the Greek
Curtis Non-winners on nnomads handicap |
‘Debatable result at the
club’ Well it was a fascinating
day when Rubber Man, Pup, Curtis
and Stavros the Greek turned up at
the RACV Country Club for a not-so-weekly competition. A full range of
weather was on display (from rain to windy to sunny and perfect), and the
course was in fantastic condition. And some excellent
golf was on display with Curtis
shooting 81 off the stick, Stavros the
Greek shooting 91 off the stick, and Rubber
Man just a couple of strokes behind Stavros
with 94. All we had to do was apply the handicaps to see who won eh! But it wasn’t
that simple because this week’s group played off the white tees which don’t
exist in the Golf Australia ratings (no slope rating or scratch score). And
the white tees were a long way forward from the Blue tees (Men’s tees) on
which the nomads GC daily handicaps are based. And when we asked the pro-shop
for the slope rating for the white tees, they explained the white tees are
for the ladies rather than men. This meant the nnomads
GC daily handicaps were overly generous on the day making the results
debatable. Further, if the slope rating for the blue tees was used then Stavros the Greek (net 66 strokes) won
by a stroke from Curtis (net 67 strokes). However, if the slope rating for
the red tees was used then Stavros
and Curtis were equal winners on
net 68 strokes. In the end it
was too hard so not winner was announced, no
major points on the Bladder were awarded (see year to date Bladder results), and
the GA handicap were calculated using the states for the red ladies tees (see
latest handicaps). Subsequently, the committee didn’t congratulate anyone on a win due
to the questionable and debatable outcomes. The committee reminds members of Bob
Hope who famously said “If you watch a game, it’s
fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s golf.” |

Thombei the Mist |
‘Misty’s slashes
Gardiners’ Again, it was
a gorgeous Friday afternoon when Thombei The Mist,
The Bloke, Stavros the Greek and
Pup turned up at Gardiner’s Run for
the second not-so-weekly competition for 2018. Well to be strictly correct, Pup turned up unannounced on the 4th
hole, which while was a welcome sight, put him at a disadvantage in terms of
the competition. Not that it
really mattered because Thombei The Mist
was in dominating form shooting 21 stableford points on the first 9, then 17
points on the second nine and also took out the NTP on the 16th
hole. While The Bloke shot a credible 35 points, no
one really got a look in from start to finish. This meant Thombei took the major points on the Bladder (see year to date Bladder results),
which resulted in his GA handicap coming in by over a stroke (see latest handicaps). The committee congratulates Misty on an impressive win and indeed
all winners on the day. The committee reminds members of Mickie Mantle who
famously said
“The only sure rule in golf is he who
has the fastest cart never has to play the bad lie.” |

Stavros The Greek |
‘Greek bats his way to the
front’ So, it was the
first not-so-weekly competition for 2018 as Curtis, Pup and Stavros the
Greek took on Yarrambat Park on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. And being
only a week after the club’s first major event of the year – The AMOK, you
would expect all to be in good form (except Curtis who did turn up for the AMOK and was thus coming in cold). And somewhat
surprisingly, Stavros was in
blistering form shooting 20 stableford points on the first nine and then
fifteen points on the 2nd nine putting him six points in front of Pup at the 19th with Curtis a further point behind. This
meant Stavros took out the major points on the Bladder with Pup getting minor points with a
sensational NTP on the 16th (see year to date Bladder results).
There was little change in the handicaps (see latest handicaps). The committee congratulates Stavros
on a great first up performance and indeed all winners on the day. The
committee reminds members of Alice Cooper who famously said "Mistakes are part of the game. It’s how
well you recover from them, that’s the mark of a great player.” |
