Standardised Event Report:

‘Cardinal beats Bat’

December 29th 2019: Once again, the final nnomads Golf Club major event for 2019, the Santa Decanter, was played at its new spiritual home - Yarrambat Park, in extreme heat and ducky poo conditions.

Being the final event for the year, a solid cross section of the nnomads Golf Club membership base turned out, creating only what could be described as a [insert preferred adjective] field.

Preferred adjective 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 Pup, TJ and Nurse Min closely followed by The Cardinal, Rubber Man and Freddie Five Iron in the 2nd group, with Stavros the Greek, The Bloke, Slugger and the Hanging Judge in the final group. With such a highly skilled field like this, it was clearly going to be a [insert preferred adjective] competition (see 2019 Player Groups).

Pure quality on course: And that is exactly how it turned out with a truly a [insert preferred adjective] a display of how to play competition golf. Perfect examples of such expertise included The Hanging Judge’s [Insert preferred adjective] NTP on the 8th, and Slugger’s [insert preferred adjective] Longest drive on the 9th. It is fair to say that the adoring gallery got their money’s worth that day (see On Course in 2019).

Cardinal beats Bat: But there was one player who stood out from the rest and that was The Cardinal (92,26,66) who ended up six strokes under the card, and eight strokes better than 2nd place getter Freddie Five Iron (110,36,74) with The Bloke (92,17,75), Rubber Man (106,31,75), Slugger (100, 25,75) and Nurse Min (106,31,75)  further back in equal 3rd place (see detailed results below).

Of note was the fact that the entire field gave up after 9 holes blaming the extreme heat for their unwillingness to soldier on. In addition, after doubling the score to get a result, Nurse Min was not recognised for his equal 3rd place (didn’t get a ball), which was an oversight to say the least.

Steaming presentations: This meant the presentations back in the carpark were a [insert preferred adjective] true and very hot celebration of The Cardinal’s [insert preferred adjective] performance (see Photos of 2019 presentations). “Well, it the first time for the Santa Decanter …” started out the newly crowned champion as the on-course media clambered for an interview (see 2019 SD winner’s Speech).

The Club committee congratulates The Cardinal on his [insert preferred adjective] win and indeed all other winners on the day. The committee also announces that the 2019 club champion is almost definitely The Bloke who has been leading the championship for most of the year (unless another Triggered Major occurs in the next two days). This also means that members need to prepare for the 1st major event in 2020, the Australian Masters Open Kup (AMOK), to be run at the Growling Frog on Australia day in late January, at which the new champion will be formally presented with his trophy. So book early and see you there.
