Standardised Event Report: ‘The Greek Gets a Gift from Santa’ |
|
|
December 29th,
2024: So,
the last nnomads Golf Club major event for 2024, the
Santa Decanter, was played at Yarrambat Park in absolutely magnificent
conditions. |
|
|
Being the
final event for the year, a solid cross section of the nnomads
Golf Club membership base turned out, creating only what could be described
as a [insert preferred adjective] field. Preferred adjective alternatives – 1) Impressive field, 2) Top class
field, 3) Sensational field, 4) Magnificent field and 5) Awe-inspiring: First onto the
tee in Group 1 were The Bloke, Billy Bob Thornton and Curtis
closely followed by Thombei the Mist,
Slugger Fairweather, and Circuit Board in the 2nd group,
with Stavros the Greek, Freddie
Five Iron and Markus Octavious in the 3rd and final group.
With such a highly skilled field like this, it was clearly going to be a [insert preferred adjective] competition
(see 2024 Player Groups). |
|
|
Sheer quality on course: And that is exactly how it turned out with a truly a [insert preferred adjective] a display of
how to play competition golf. Perfect examples included Circuit Board’s [insert preferred adjective] NTP on the 8th,
The Bloke’s [insert preferred adjective] NTP on the 12th and The Bloke’s longest drive on
the 15th. It is fair to say that the adoring gallery got their
money’s worth that day (see On Course in 2024). |
|
|
Greek Gets a Gift: But there was one player who stood out from the rest and that
was Stavros the Greek (94,20,74)
who ended up 2 strokes over the card, and 1 strokes
in front of 2nd place getter The
Bloke (90,15.75), with 3rd placegetter Circuit Board (112,35,77)
a further 2 strokes behind (see
detailed results below). Sensational
presentations: This meant the presentations
back in the carpark were a [insert preferred adjective] celebration of Stavros
the Greek’s [insert preferred adjective] performance. Of note was the lack of mistakes in scoring and
the correct presentation to the winner unlike the debacle last year (see
Photos of 2023 presentations). “It is a privilege to win this trophy once again …” started out the newly crowned champion as the on-course media
clambered for an interview (see 2024 SD winner’s Speech). |
|
|
The Club
committee congratulates Stavros the
Greek on his [insert preferred adjective] win and indeed all other winners on the day. The committee
also announces that the 2024 club champion is The Bloke who edged out the
2023 club champion Stavros the Greek by 2 strokes. This also means
that members need to prepare for the 1st major event in 2024, the
Australian Masters Open Kup (AMOK), to be run at
the Growling Frog on Australia day in late January, at which the new champion
will be formally presented with his trophy. So, book early and see you there. |

This month’s competition: What was
the excuse for a lack of on course photos?
