‘Not So Weekly’ Competition 2020’

Latest ‘Not so weekly’ competition results – 2020
Date: 28/2/2020 Course: Yarrambat Park, Yarrambat, Victoria
Curtis Winner on nnomads GC handicap	‘Curtis Masters the Bat’ This time the not-so-weekly competition was at Yarrambat Park with a miserable turn out of only two players being Stavros the Greek and Curtis. The course was in very good condition after all the rain, which bodes well for the Triggered Major to be played there in a couple of weeks’ time. However, there is not a lot to say about the performance on course where Curtis (30 stableford points), was masterful albeit with a hiccup or two, while Stavros the Greek totally fell over providing almost no competition at all. This meant Curtis took the major points on the Bladder (see YTD 2020 Bladder), while player handicaps remained the same (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps). The committee congratulates Curtis on a great win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members of Bruce Lansky who famously said “We learn so many things from golf—how to suffer, for instance.”

Previous ‘Not So Weekly’ results – 2020
Date: 21/1/2020 Course: Gardiners Run, Lilydale, Victoria
Stavros the Greek Winner on nnomads GC handicap	‘Stavros Runs Away’ This time the not-so-weekly competition was at Gardiners Run which is of course a ‘Club’ Club, or at least that’s what Stavros the Greek was telling The Bloke and Curtis who were the only other competitors on the day. The course was in spectacular condition, except for the bunkers which had suffered badly after solid rain for two days, and the weather was sublime setting up perfect conditions for golf. This week the competition was solid particularly on the back nine where on multiple occasions everyone shot a par, and where everyone earned 18 stableford points or more for that nine holes. However, it is fair to say that Stavros the Greek ran away with the competition gaining 41 stableford points overall, beating Curtis (35 stableford points) who came in second by 6 points. Not to be left out, The Bloke took out the NTP with a sensational shot on the 16^th, which of course meant he won a ball. This meant Stavros the Greek took the major points on the Bladder (see YTD 2020 Bladder), and his GA handicap came down again. with other player handicaps remaining pretty much the same (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps). The committee congratulates Stavros on another excellent win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members of Sam Snead who famously said “If I had cleared the trees and drove the green, it would have been a great shot.”	The Bloke - NTP

Date: 10/1/2020 Course: RACV Country Club, Healesville, Victoria
Stavros the Greek Winner on nnomads GC handicap	‘Stavros Storms Club’ So, the second not-so-weekly competition was a 10am tee-off at the RACV Country Club in Healesville which of course is not a ‘Club’ Club, just a club. As usual, there were two RACV Country Club members in attendance being Rubber Man and Thombei the Mist, and two guests being Stavros the Greek and The Bloke. Of note was the fact that the course was in great condition albeit the greens being a bit slow, and the weather warm but hazy, as has been the case in Melbourne for a few weeks. It would be good to have said the competition was fierce and close and it started out somewhat like that with every player generating a number of great shots. But Stavros the Greek was in fine form, shooting 22 stableford point on the first nine and then 17 points on the back nine giving him 39 stableford points overall. That was eight points better than Thombei The Mist (31 points), in 2^nd place with The Bloke and Rubber Man a little further behind. It should be said that Thombei’s NTP on the 16^th was spectacular giving him a couple of balls for his efforts. This meant Stavros the Greek took the major points on the Bladder (see YTD 2020 Bladder), and his GA handicap came down once again. with other player handicaps remaining pretty much the same (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps). The committee congratulates Stavros on an excellent win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members of Paul Harvey who famously said “Golf is a game in which you yell “fore,” shoot six, and write down five.”	Thombei The Mist 2^nd Place and NTP

Rubber Man Winner on nnomads GC handicap	‘Rubber Man Runs Wild’ So, it was the first not-so-weekly competition for 2020 in which Stavros the Greek, Rubber Man and The Bloke were the only contenders to turn up at Gardiners Run on a beautiful January day. The course was in excellent condition which perfectly set up the day for competition golf. And the competition was fierce for quite a while until Rubber Man put his stamp on the day, leaving the competition in his wake. By the end of the round Rubber Man (34 stableford points), had taken out the only NTP, and beaten second place getter The Bloke (30 stableford points) by 4 points with Stavros limping in a further two points behind. This meant Rubber Man took the first major points on the 2020 Bladder (see YTD 2020 Bladder), with handicaps remaining pretty much the same (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps). The committee congratulates Rubber Man on his convincing win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members of George Deukmejian who famously said “The difference between golf and government is that in golf you can’t improve your lie.”
