The Cardinal 29th December 2019 Yarrambat Park |
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. |
