The Bloke |
‘Bloke steal Curtis
Thunder’ Well, the third not-so-weekly competition for 2021 was held at
Gardiner’s Run in the middle of the week and to celebrate Curtis’s Birthday. Being organized at the last minute, it was a quiet threesome
who presented on the day including The
Bloke, Stavros the Greek and of course Curtis. From the very beginning both Curtis and The
Bloke were at
their best staying within a point of each other until the last two holes at
which point, Curtis (29 Stableford points) finally fell over with two wipes in
a row, handing the competition to The Bloke (32 Stableford Points). This meant The Bloke took the major
points on the Bladder (see YTD 2021 Bladder), and player
handicaps were adjusted accordingly (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps). The committee congratulates The Bloke on a great win
and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members of James Barrett Reston who famously said “Golf is a plague invented by the Calvinistic
Scots as a punishment for man’s sins.” |

Curtis |
‘Welcome back at the Bat Well, the second not-so-weekly competition for 2021 was finally held
at Yarrambat, a full 10 months after the first. This was of course due to
COVID-19 which has slowed up play somewhat during Melbourne’s 6 lockdowns.
But the minute we were able to play we did with a pathetic turnout of only 4
players including Curtis, The Bloke, Nurse
Min and Stavros the Greek. Of note was the fantastic condition of the Yarrambat course and the
magnificent weather (sunny and 30 degrees with a light cooling breeze). This
made the event a truly memorable day. Or at least for some players, for example Curtis who was pretty
consistent all day winning the event with 29 points, a good effort after not
playing golf for months. Other players were not so consistent with Stavros
the Greek coming in second with 27 points and the others just behind. This meant Curtis took the major
points on the Bladder (see YTD 2021 Bladder), and player
handicaps were adjusted accordingly (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 Lee Treveno who famously said “You don’t know what pressure is until you play for five bucks
with only two bucks in your pocket.” |

Thombei The Mist |
‘Misty at the Run’ Well, the first not-so-weekly competition for 2021 was a beauty held
at Gardiners Run on a threatening weatherwise sort of day, which didn’t
eventuate, making it a perfect day for golf. There were four contenders who
stepped up to the first tee including Curtis,
The Boke, Thombei the Mist and Stavros the Greek setting up perfect conditions for a real
competition. But in the end, the competition really was
between two players, both in fine form, with Thombei the Mist (40 stableford
points), edging out Curtis (37 stableford
points), in the final few holes. And Thombei really stamped his mark on the
game with a magnificent, had to be seen to believe NTP on the 16th
just to rub salt in the wounds of the other players. This meant Thombei took the major
points on the Bladder (see YTD 2021 Bladder), and player
handicaps were adjusted accordingly (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps). The committee congratulates Misty on a great win
and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members of Gary
Player who famously said
“Golf is a
puzzle without an answer. I’ve played the game for 50 years and I still
haven’t the slightest idea of how to play.” |
