Month: November 2020

In a dramatic change of form Richard “Pickles” Matz scored a miserable 16 points in today’s stableford. Pickles has been the most successful player in the club in recent months and was unable to explain this dramatic change of fortune. His fans will be hoping that this is just a one off and that Pickles bounces back on Saturday. Today’s winner was Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel with 39 points, a fine effort in extremely windy conditions. Runner up was Pat “The Rat” Hallion who beat Dick Cleland on a count back, both scoring 35. Both were effected by the unfairness of trees as a hazard in golf although Dick was affected more than Pat.

Chris “Critta” Waters blew the field away scoring 39 stableford points. Peter Weiss was an embarrassing 6 points behind on 33. What made Critta’s performance all the more impressive was that that the strength of his gave, driving from the tee was well below his best demonstrating the improvement of his game overall. The handicapper was so impressed that he reduced Critta’s handicap by one stroke.

There was a dead heat for the Mars Bar between Bop Perry & Mark “Mouldy” Millward with Mouldy picking it up. The may explain Bob Perry’s rush to get away before the presentations.

Tuesday, November 3rd.

Today we welcomed 4 ladies from the Barossa Valley golf club to play in the Stableford competition, and they took home the prizes. Several local gals were missing today due to Melbourne Cup functions. The winner with an impressive 35 points was Gloria Potter (BV). Runner up on 34 points was Sandy Schultz (BV). Sandy also won the extra comp of Drives on Fairway with an outstanding 16 drives on fairway! Other scores were: Fiona Hockings (BV) 33 pts, Sonya Irwin (Burra) 32 pts, Glenys Pierce (Burra) 31 pts, Leanne Roberts (BV) 29 pts, Jo Gebhardt (Burra) 24 pts. Jodi Lehmann played 9 holes before ducking off to a Melb Cup luncheon. The nearest to the pin ball stayed in the trophy box, with no one hitting the green!

Despite his recent elevation to the committee, Richard “Pickles” Matz has not let the added responsibility weigh too heavily upon his shoulders. Pickles won Saturday’s stableford on a countback after a 3 way tie. Pickles, Peter Weiss & Mark “Mouldy” Millward all finished with 36 points with Pickles finishing the strongest of the 3. Peter Weiss was runner up while poor old Mouldy was left to contemplate the nemesis that the 16th hole has become for him. Dick Cleland collected the Mars Bar.
