Latest ‘Not so weekly’ competition results – 2022

 

Date: 23/9/2022

Course: Growling Frog

The Bloke

‘Bloke Kills Frog’

Well, the second not so weekly competition for 2022 occurred in September, out at a wet Growling Frog in absolutely terrible condition. Despite the adverse conditions, three hardy members turned out including Curtis, Stavros the Greek and The Bloke.

So, the real competition proved to be between The Bloke and Curtis who were pretty close for much of the day. But The Bloke came home strongly shooting 35 stableford points, which was 5 points in front of Curtis (30 points) with Stavros lagging behind on 25 points. Of note was the fact that the Bloke also took out the NTP giving him a clean sweep for the day.

This meant The Bloke took the major points on the Bladder (see YTD 2022 Bladder), and player handicaps were adjusted accordingly (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps).

The committee congratulates The Bloke on a great win. The committee also reminds members of Ray Floyd who famously said “They call it golf because the other four-letter words were taken.”

Course: Yarrambat Park

Stavros the Greek
Winner on nnomads GC handicap

‘Stavros stays the Course’

So, the first not so weekly competition for 2022 didn’t happen until May, or at least no games were reported to the club which is not unusual based on not so recent history. That said, there was a reportable game between Stavros the Greek and The Bloke mid-May in which a result was gained and a prise ball awarded.

As was expected, it was a closely fought battle with players within a stroke or two of each other for most of the game and the lead changing multiple times. However, Stavros (40 points) took advantage of The Bloke’s (30 points) stumble on the last few holes to come out a convincing winner on the day. No one got onto the 16th green so no NPT was awarded.

This meant Stavros took the major points on the Bladder (see YTD 2022 Bladder), and player handicaps were adjusted accordingly (see latest nnomads Golf Club handicaps).

The committee congratulates Stavros on a great win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee also reminds members of Tommy Bolt who famously said “The mind messes up more shots than the body.”
