‘ANZAC Day Medal (ADM), April 2023 Date:
25/04/2023 |
|
|
TJ Winner on nnomads GC handicap after
play-off |
‘TJ Does it in the
Trenches Well, the fourth nnomads Golf Club major event
for 2023, was the ‘ANZAC Day Medal, again run at the Growling Frog in perfect
conditions. The turnout was good with another eight competitors stepping up
to via for the ANZAC Day Medal and perpetual trophy. At the end of
the Day, it was TJ (101,23,78) who won the event in a play-off, well a
chip off closest to the bucket, from Curtis (94,16,78) with The
Bloke (94,14,80) a further two strokes behind in 3rd place. This meant TJ took the major Bladder points (see - Year to
date Bladder),
while Stavros the Greek and The Bloke remain on top of the club
championship leader board (see YTD
2023 championship results). It should be noted that TJ has the lowest average score across
3 major events meaning he should easily take the lead in the club
championship after the next event he plays in (assuming he maintains his
form). The committee congratulates TJ on
another fantastic win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee
reminds members to book early for the next major event of 2023, the return of the
Monarch of the Tulum (MOTT), to be run sometime in May. (See Full ADM 2023 event
report). |

‘Blessed are the Big Nose’ Cup (TM1), April 2023 Date:
7/04/2023 |
|
|
Stavros the Greek Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘The Greek Does It Again’ So, the third nnomads Golf Club major event
for 2023, was the ‘Blessed are the Big Nose’ Cup, again run at Yarrambat Park
on a pleasantly better weather day than was expected. The turnout was also
much better than previous 2023 events with eight competitors stepping onto
the 1st tee. It should be noted that Billy Bob Thornton and
Slugger both pulled out at the last minute based on predicted
inclement weather which did not arrive. Hence, both missed out on and
excellent day – Bad luck guys! What was not
expected, was that Stavros the Greek (92,19,73) got up once again
winning by 2 strokes from 2nd placegetter TJ (96,21,75),
with Markus Octavious (114,35,79) a further
four strokes behind in 3rd place. This meant Stavros the Greek took the major Bladder points once
again (see - Year to
date Bladder),
and moved into 1st place in front of The Bloke on the club
championship leader board (see YTD
2023 championship results). However, it is early days in the 2023 club championship, exampled by
strong contenders like TJ, The Bloke, Marcus Octavious,
Slugger, and Billy Bob Thornton all within striking distance of the top
of the ladder. The committee congratulates Stavros
on another fantastic win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee
reminds members to book early for the next major event of 2023, the ANZAC Day Medal,
to be run on Anzac Day later in April. (See Full BBNC 2023 event
report). |

Triggered Major 1 (TM1), March 2023 Date: 13/03/2023 |
|
|
Stavros the Greek Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Stavros Stays the Course’ Well, the second nnomads Golf Club major event
for 2023, was the first ‘Triggered Major’ for 2023 run at Yarrambat Park on
Labour Day. The turnout was again atrocious albeit a 50% increase on the last
major event (up from 4 to 6 players). Again, there were a wide range of very
poor excuses being submitted for not playing although Freddie Five Iron’s
was certainly the most creative (damaged himself when using a power saw – See
photos in main report). That said, the members that matter were there with an
exclusive group of six stepping onto the 1st tee on a glorious day
for golf. And again some excellent golf played creating a very
competitive competition. At the end of
the day, it was Stavros the Greek (94,19,75) who just got there,
winning by 1 stroke from 2nd placegetter The Bloke
(90,14,76), with Markus Octavious (112,35,77)
a further stroke behind in 3rd place. Of note was the fact there
was only 3 strokes between the winner and last place, illustrating how close
the results were across the field. This meant Stavros the Greek took the major Bladder points (see
- Year to
date Bladder),
and moved into 2nd place behind The Bloke on the club
championship leader board (see YTD
2023 championship results). The committee congratulates Stavros
on a magnificent win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee
reminds members to book early for the next major event of 2023, the Blessed are the
Big Nose Cup, to be run on Good Friday in April. (See Full TM1 event report). |

Australian Master Open Kup (AMOK),
January 2023 Date: 26/01/2023 |
|
|
TJ Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘TJ Starts the Year in Top
Form’ So, the first nnomads Golf Club major event
for 2023, was the ‘Australian Masters Open Kup’ run
at The Growling Frog on Invasion Day. The turnout was absolutely atrocious
with a huge range of very poor excuses being submitted for not contesting
this year’s event. That said, the members that matter were there with an
exclusive group of four stepping onto the 1st tee on a glorious
day for golf. And some excellent golf played on the day creating a
very competitive competition. However, at
the end of the day it was TJ (98,23,75) who was a standout, winning by
5 strokes from 2nd placegetter The Bloke (96,16,80), with Stavros
the Greek and Freddie Five Iron well off the pace. This meant TJ took the major Bladder points (see - Year to
date Bladder),
and moved into top spot on the club championship leader board (see YTD
2023 championship results). The committee congratulates TJ on
a sensational win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee reminds
members to book early for the next major event of 2023, the first Triggered
Major for the year to be run in March. (See full AMOK 2023 event
report). |
