Standardised Event Report:

‘Greek successful in play-off’

March 19th 2019: Once again the annual running of the Blessed are the Big Nose Cup was run at Yering Meadows in the picturesque Yarra Valley with beautiful views on a lovely warm autumn day….

And once again a solid cross section from the cream of the nnomads Golf Club membership base turned out to compete, creating only what could be described as a [insert preferred adjective] field.

Preferred adjective alternatives – 1) Impressive, 2) Top class, 3) Sensational, 4) Magnificent and 5) Awe-inspiring:

This year’s Group 1 contained The Cardinal, Slugger, The Bloke and Billy Bob Thornton, while Group 2 contained Markus Octavious, Rubber Man, TJ and Stavros the Greek. With such a highly skilled field, it was clearly going to be a [insert preferred adjective] competition (see 2019 Player Groups).

Brutal on course: And that is exactly how it turned out with a truly a [Rotate from list of preferred adjectives] a display of how to play competition golf – NOT! Better performances included Slugger’s [Rotate from list of preferred adjectives] NTP on the 22nd, and his [Rotate from list of preferred adjectives] longest drive on the 23rd hole, with The Bloke’s [Rotate from list of preferred adjectives] longest drive on the 5th hole the only other highlight on the day. That said, it is fair to say that the adoring gallery got their money’s worth that day (see limited coverage of On Course in 2019).

No result after tough conditions: So, at the end of the day Stavros the Greek (102,23,79) and Billy Bob Thornton (108,29,79) were equal on net 79 strokes, which according nnomads Golf Club rules, requires a play-off to determine the winner. However, Billy Bob decided to skip the presentations which proved problematic (see detailed results below). Eventually, the problem was solved after a play-off (see below).

Partial presentations: So, the original presentations on the night, back in Slugger’s place acknowledged TJ as 3rd place getter, and even The Bloke (103,20,83) was given a ball for 4th place (go figure?). And of course, NTPs and Longest drive prizes were presented. And of course, the fantastic sausages on bread cooked personally by Chef Slugger were devoured in minutes just prior to the presentations – Thanks Slugger!

Stavros eventually successful: Of note was the fact that a play-off to determine the winner was planned for the ANZAC Day Medal to be played the following week. However, this time Stavros the Greek didn’t turn up (claimed to be sick or some lame excuse), once again making it impossible to determine the winner. Eventually, the situation was resolved after the team’s event at the VOMIT, where Stavros and Billy Bob finally had the play-off in the dark at Casa-de-Pup on the Bellarine peninsular (see play-ff video). ”It was a long hard fought battle” started Stavros as he briefly addressed the media on hand (see BBNC Winner’s speech)
