‘Santa Decanter’, December,
2020 Date: 30/12/2020 |

Stavros
the Greek Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Stavros Devours Santa’s
Decanter So, the last nnomads Golf Club major event for 2020 was as usual, the
Santa Decanter, again run at Yarrambat Park on a very pleasant day. You could
say it was another Yarrambat kind of day. But it wasn’t a usual day because Stavros
the Greek (94,21,73) blitzed the field, ending up one over the card, and
a full 5 strokes in front of 2nd place getter Slugger
(101,23,78), with Markus Octavious
(115,34,81), a further 3 strokes behind in 3rd place. This meant Stavros took the
major Bladder points (see - year to
date Bladder), but it also meant he displaced The Bloke on the
club championship leader board, which means Stavros will win the 2020 nnomads Golf Club championship, unless there is a Triggered
Major event played on the 31st of December, which is today!
(see YTD 2020 championship results).
The committee congratulates Stavros the Greek on a sensational win
and indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book
early for the first event of 2021, the Australian Masters Open Kup (AMOK) to be held at the Growling Frog on
Australia Day. (See full
SD 2020 event report). |

Nurse Min Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Front Line Nurse Beats
Field’ Finally, the fourth nnomads Golf Club major event for 2020 was able to happen
after many months of lockdown. And wouldn’t you know it, in near perfect
conditions for social distancing on an island in Port Philip Bay. And for the 2nd time this year, Nurse Min
(101,32,69) easily beat the rest of the field with The Cardinal
(104,26,78), in 2nd place, and Stavros the Greek (106,23,83)
and Pup (102,19,83) back in equal third place. This meant Nurse Min took the
major Bladder points (see - year to
date Bladder), but once again he couldn’t displace The Bloke who
continues to lead the club championship (see YTD 2020 championship results). The committee congratulates Nurse Min on another brilliant win and
indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early
for the final major event of 2020, the Santa Decanter (SD) to be held
at Yarrambat Park late in December. (see Full TM2 2020 event report). |

‘Victorian Open Masters
Invitational Tournament (VOMIT), June 2020 Date: 7/6/2020 |

Stavros
the Greek Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Stavros Scissors beats
Pup Paper’ So, the third nnomads Golf Club major event for 2020 finally happened in
near perfect conditions for social distancing and with another great turnout.
This time Stavros the Greek (92,18,74) and Pup (91,17,74)
ended up equal lowest score beating The Bloke (93,16,77), and Billy
Bob Thornton (100,23,77) back in equal third place, by three strokes. This of course meant a play-off was required to determine the
final winner which under the nnomads GC rules can
involve a paper, scissors, rock competition. An so it was with Stavros the
Greek prevailing using ‘scissors’ over an inspiring Pup using
‘paper’ in front of a very excited gallery. That meant Stavros took the
major Bladder points (see - year to
date Bladder), but he couldn’t displace The Bloke who continues to
lead the club championship (see YTD
2020 championship results). The committee congratulates Stavros on a sensational win and indeed
all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early for the fourthj major event of 2020, the Swan Island nnomads Cup (SINC) to be held on the Bellarine in
August 2020. (See full
VOMIT 2020 event report). |

‘Triggered Major 1 (TM1), March
2020 Date: 9/2/2020 |
|
Nurse Min Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘On-Course-Medic on
Course’ Well, the second nnomads Golf Club major event for 2020 also went off without
a hitch, in perfect conditions and with a great turnout. This time Nurse Min ended up one stroke over the card
(102,29,73), easily beating Slugger (102,23,73), by six strokes, with Stavros
the Greek and TJ tied a further stroke behind in third place.
Hence, it was a convincing performance by the on-course-medic, which
the large gallery of kangaroos enjoyed watching immensely. What was not known at the time was that Rubber Man
didn’t add up his score properly. He diddled himself out of xxxx place, but that’s another story. Once prizes have
been won, they stay won. But it does emphasise the need to check score cards
properly. That said, this all meant Nurse
Min took the major Bladder points (see - year to date Bladder), and is on-course
to climb up the club championship leader board where The Bloke
maintains his lead by 1.5 strokes (see YTD 2020 championship results). The committee congratulates Nurse Min on a sensational win and
indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early
for the third major event of 2020, the Blessed are the Big Nose Cup to
be held on Good Friday in April. (see Full TM1 2020 event report). |

‘Australian Open Masters Kup (AMOK), January 2020 Date: 27/1/2020 |
|
The Bloke Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Bloke runs AMOK’ So, the first nnomads Golf Club major event for 2020 went off without a
hitch in perfect conditions and with a great turnout. And it is fair to say that other than TJ (93,26,67), the newly
crowned club champion – The Bloke (86,20,66) had little competition in his
first outing for 2020, winning by one stroke from TJ and ending up 5 strokes
under the card. This meant The Bloke took the
major Bladder points (see - year to
date Bladder), and again started 2020 at the top of the club championship
leader board (see YTD 2020
championship results). The committee congratulates The Bloke on a brilliant win and
indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early
for the second major event of 2020, the triggered major to be held on Labour
Day in march. (See the full AMOK 2020 event report). |
