Today’s stableford was won by visitor Anton De Ver from the Moe Golf Club. Playing off a 9 handicap Anton scored 37 points. A countback was required to determine the runner up with Neil Webster edging out young Bob Taylor, both just 1 point back on 36. The scores tailed off after this with David “Jack” webster on 32, Russell “Gus The Good Guy” wenzel 31, Kobi Wenzel 27 & Chase Webster 25.
The Mars Bar went to chairman Dick Cleland with a very sad 23.
The big news on Saturday was the return of popular vice-captain, Mark “Mouldy” Millward after a 4 month break due to injury. Mouldy took up where he left off narrowly avoiding the Mars Bar on a countback.
The winner was David “Jack” Webster who put together a very even 39 stableford points. Runner up was Michael “Tickers” Tickner with 37. Tickers was level with Jack at the half way mark but was unable to maintain his form. Scores fell away after this with Chris “Critta” waters on 33, colourful local identity Philip “Thomo Thomson 32, Dick Cleland on 29 & Mouldy & the mercurial Bob Taylor locked on 28, with Bob taking the Mars Bar.
Kobi Wenzel won today’s 9 hole mulligan competition on a count back from David “Jack” Webster, with both scoring a very creditable 23 points. The mercurial Bob Taylor was third with 21 followed by Chase Webster & Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel on 18. Dick Cleland scored 16 while Gordon “The Chook Man” Kakoschke took the Mars Bar with 15 points.
The next Golf Club Auction will be held on Sunday November 5, on the Aberdeen Oval opposite the clubhouse.

Gordon “The Chook Man” Kakoschke had his revenge on Dick Cleland beating Dick in a countback yesterday. Unfortunately the countback was required to determine last not first with Dick receiving the Mars Bar.
The winner was colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson with 39 stableford points. Runner up was David “Jack” Webster with 36 followed by son Chase Webster 34, Kobi Wenzel 33, Dick Secomb & Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel both on 32, then the Chook Man & Dick Cleland on 30 (an unusually good score for the Mars Bar).
Using a unique scoring system based on the par competition and devised by the imaginative Gus The Good Guy, 9 players played golf “football” on Saturday. As can be seen by the scores below the footy scores bear little relationship to the golf score, although Robbie had the best round by both scoring systems. The Crows won handsomely because they had 7 players to the Tigers 2. This is something the Adelaide Football Club should consider next year.
Sadly the Crows performance at the MCG mirrored that of their keenest Burra supporter, Gordon “The Chook Man” Kakoschke. The Chook Man jumped out of the blocks and was 5 up with 6 goals 2 after 9 holes. On the back 9 he was 5 down & added just 4 points to his footy score.
The Mars Bar went to Gus The Good Guy.

Six players took part in today’s 9 hole mulligan event. Gordon “The Chook Man” Kakoschke failed to consolidate a good start and was overtaken by Dick Cleland in a thrilling finish.

The assistant handicapper moved swiftly deducting the 2nd stroke from Gus’s handicap in 5 days. Dick Cleland was runner up with 35 while David “Jack” Webster scored 30. The assistant handicapper gave the stroke he took off Gus to Jack. Colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson took the Mars Bar with 27.
Six players ventured out in gale force winds that had them struggling to stay on their feet at times. Russell “Gus The Good Guy” wenzel & colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson played early in calmer conditions and Gus The Good Guy was able to take advantage while Thomo failed to do so.
Gus was winner with a score of 36 points while runner up was the best of the afternoon players David “Jack’ webster whose 31 points was a creditable effort in the tough conditions. Thomo was next with 29 followed by Dick Cleland 27, Bob Perry 26 & Mars Bar recipient Michael “Tickers” Tickner with 24.
The assistant handicapper rewarded Gus The Good Guy with a handicap reduction, while demonstrating his compassion in increasing Bob Perry’s & Dick Cleland’s handicaps by one stroke each.
