Cinders Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Cinders sizzles Santa’s
Decanter’ Well, the final nnomads Golf Club major event for 2021, the Santa Decanter,
was run at Yarra Bend in glorious conditions. And as expected, there was a
good turnout with 8 double vaccinated competitors stepping onto the tee to
contest the event. While the standard of golf was variable, Cinders
(107,36,71) was in sizzling form, winning by 2 strokes from 2nd
placegetter The Bloke (90,17,73), with The Cardinal (100,24,76)
a further two strokes behind. This meant Cinders took the
major Bladder points (see - year to date Bladder), while the Cardinal
remained in the top spot on the club championship leader board with only days
to go before the end of 2021 (see YTD 2021 championship results). The committee congratulates Cinders on a sensational win and
indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early
for the first major event of 2022, the ‘AMOK to be run on Australia Day in
late January. (See full SD

The
Cardinal Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Cardinal hits home run’ So, the fifth nnomads Golf Club major event for 2021 was run at Queenscliff
Golf Club on Swan Island, down on the Bellarine Peninsular, in pretty windy
conditions. Again, there was a good turnout with 10 double vaccinated
competitors stepping onto the tee to contest the SINC for 2021. While some pretty good golf was played, The Cardinal
(95,26,69) was a standout, winning easily by 12 strokes from 2nd
placegetter The Bloke (100,19,81), with Pup (101,19,82) a
further stroke behind. And The Cardinal really entertained the gallery
with an excellent eagle on the 2nd hole par five, and an fantastic
NTP on the 9th just to mention a couple of more obvious
performances. This meant The Cardinal took
the major Bladder points (see - year
to date Bladder), and he displaced The Bloke to move into the top
spot on the club championship leader board with only one event to go (see YTD 2021 championship results). The committee congratulates The Cardinal on a sensational win and
indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early
for the last major event of 2021, the ‘Santa Decanter (‘SD), to be run on the
last weekend of the year. (See full SINC event report). |

Pup Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Lest we forget Pup’s
performance’ Well, the fourth nnomads Golf Club major event for 2021 was run at the Growling
frog out at Yan Yean, in pretty pleasant conditions. Again, there was a good
turnout with 10 competitors entering the annual competition for the
sought-after ANZAC Day medal. This time it was Pup (90,19,71) who showed up the
field, winning easily by 8 strokes from 2nd placegetter The
Bloke (96,17,79), with equal third placegetters Curtis (95,15,81)
and Freddie Five Iron (116,36,80) a further stroke behind. This meant Pup took the major
Bladder points (see - year to date
Bladder), but he was not able to displace The Bloke who remains at
the top of the club championship leader board (see YTD 2021 championship results). The committee congratulates Pup on emphatic win and indeed all
winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early for the fifth
major event of 2021, the ‘Victorian Open Master Invitational Tournament
(VOMIT), to be run on the Queen’s Birthday weekend, in June. (See full ADM event report). |

The Bloke Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Bloke nails it to the
cross’ The third nnomads Golf Club major event for 2021 was again run at the Bat
on another Yarrambat kind of Good Friday. As usual, was a good turnout under
the circumstances with 10 competitors walking onto the first tee. While the competition was tough on the day, The Bloke absolutely
nailed it (88, 17,71) shooting one under the card, and five strokes
better than 2nd placegetter Billy Bob Thornton (98,23,75),
with 3rd placegetter Pup (94,18,76) a further stroke behind. This meant The Bloke took the
major Bladder points (see - year to
date Bladder), and was able to displace The Cardinal who was
previously at the top of the club championship leader board (see YTD 2021 championship results). The committee congratulates The Bloke on an impressive win and
indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early
for the next major event of 2021, the ANZAC Day medal, to be run on ANZAC
Day, in April. (See full

‘Triggered Major 1 (TM1), March
2021 Date: 8/3/2021 |
|

Nurse Min Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Major winner no minnow’ So, the second nnomads Golf Club major event for 2021 was again run in rainy
conditions albeit warmish, sufferable and with a full field of 12 competitors
on hand. To his credit, Nurse Min showed he is a true champion
(97,28,69), by beating the next best competitor The Cardinal
(96,24,72) by three strokes, with 3rd placegetter Freddie Five
Iron (112,36,76) a further 4 strokes behind. Of note was the fact that
this was Nurse Min’s third Triggered Major win in a row, which
cemented his place in the annals of nnomads golf
club history. This meant Nurse Min took the
major Bladder points (see - year to
date Bladder), but he was not able to displace The Cardinal who
remains at the top of the club championship leader board (see YTD 2021 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 third major event of 2021, the ‘Blessed are the big nose’ cup, to be
run on good Friday, in April. (See the full TM1 2021 event report). |

The
Cardinal Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Cardinal really runs
AMOK’ Well, the first nnomads Golf Club major event for 2021 was run in dismal
raining and cool conditions making competition golf a challenge for all.
Within that context, The Cardinal fared better than
most (104,26,78), beating the next best competitor TJ (103,22,81) by
three strokes, with 3rd placegetter Markus Octavious
(118,36,82) a further stroke behind. Of note was the fact that all players
were not at their best illustrated by not a single player getting a score
below 101 strokes, obviously reflecting the arduous conditions. This meant The Cardinal took
the major Bladder points (see - year
to date Bladder), and started 2021 at the top of the club championship
leader board (see YTD 2021 championship
results). The committee congratulates The Cardinal on an impressive win and
indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds members to book early
for the second major event of 2021, the triggered major to be held on Labour
Day in March. (See the full AMOK 2021 event report). |
