‘ANZAC Day Medal, April 2025 Date: 25/04/2025 |
|
|
Nurse Min Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Lest we forget The Nurses’ So, the third nnomads Golf Club major event
for 2025, was the ‘ANZAC Day
Medal run at Yarrambat Park in less than perfect conditions. Again, turnout
was down with seven contenders in the comp, but again the quality was top
shelf. The predicted rain held off until the 13th and was
easy to contend with. However, the course condition was shocking with dry
hard fairways driving huge bounce and roll, not to mention cement like
conditions everywhere else. Despite the
conditions, some excellent golf was played with several great performances.
But none could beat the standout performance of Nurse Min (98,30,68),
who came in 4 strokes under the card, and 4 strokes in front of the next best
player TJ (92,20,72), with The Bloke (88,15,73) a further stroke
behind in 3rd place. This meant Nurse Min took the major Bladder points (see - Year to date Bladder), and also maintained top spot on
the club championship leader board (see YTD
2025 championship results). The committee congratulates Nurse
Min on an emphatic win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee
reminds members to book early for the next major event of 2025, the Victorian Open
Masters Invitational Tournament (VOMIT) in June 2025. (Full event report
available shortly). |

‘Blessed are the big Nose’ Cup (BBNC), April 2025 Date:
19/04/2025 |
|
|
Nurse Min Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘The Nurse has a Big Nose’ So, the second nnomads Golf Club major event
for the 2025 year, was the ‘Blessed
are the Big Nose’ Cup, again run at the Growling Frog on ‘Nail-up’ day.
This year turnout was down with only six contenders, but the quality of those
stepping onto the 1st tee was standout. Of note was the
extremely strong winds on the day, making the conditions arduous to say the
least. At the end of
the day Nurse Min (108,32,76) and Billy Bob Thornton
(103,27,76) were both on Net 76 strokes with The Bloke (97,16,81) and Stavros
the Greek (99,18,81) five strokes further back in equal 3rd
place. Normally, this
meant there would be a chip-off between Nurse Min and Billy Bob
but for a number of controversial reasons (Mums the word), the chip off was
delayed for a week, due to be played at the ANZAC Day medal the following
Friday. And to the gallery’s dismay and disappointment Billy Bob was a
no-show, cancelling at the last minute, and giving up any claim to the
trophy. This meant Nurse Min was the rightful winner, took the major
Bladder points on offer (see - Year to
date Bladder),
and moved into top spot on the club championship leader board (see YTD
2025 championship results). The committee congratulates Nurse
Min on an excellent win and indeed all winners on the day. The committee
reminds members to book early for the next major event of 2025, the ANZAC Day Medal
on the 25th of April 2025. (Full event report available shortly). |

|
|
Circuit Board Winner on nnomads GC handicap |
‘Circuit Board Sparks at AMOK’ As always, the first nnomads Golf Club major event
for the 2025 year,
was the ‘Australian Masters Open Kup’ run at The
Growling Frog on Invasion Day. As expected, the turnout was good with eight
contenders stepping onto the 1st tee in perfect conditions for golf. With the
absence of reigning champ TJ, it was Circuit Board (109,36,73)
who stepped up, winning by 2 strokes from 2nd placegetter Curtis
(93,18,75), with Stavros the Greek (99,21,78) a few strokes further
back in 3rd place. This meant Circuit Board took the first major Bladder points for
2025 (see - Year to date
Bladder),
and moved into top spot on the club championship leader board (see YTD
2025 championship results). The committee congratulates Circuit
Board on a sensational win and indeed all winners on the day. The
committee reminds members to book early for the next major event of
2025, the Blessed are the Big Nose Cup in April 2025. (See Full AMOK 2025 event
report). |
