Michael “Tickers’ Tickner trounced yesterday’s stableford field with a scorching 40 points. Runner up was Mark “Mouldy” Millward with just 36. Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel & Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen tied for 3rd with 35, followed by Chris “Critta’ Waters 33, Andy Spackman & David “Jack” Webster 32, David Norman (Peterborough) 31, colourful local sporting identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson 30, Dick Cleland 28 & the Mars Bar went to Trevor Maxted on 27.

Tickers will play Thomo next Saturday in a Jennison semi final while the other semi final will be a battle of the long hitters with Critta & Jack facing off. Despite the handicapper taking a stroke off Tickers he is fancied to carry the day against Thomo.

Dick Secomb wins today’s mulligans comfortably.

Dick Secomb scored 23 stableford points to win by 2 points. Runner up was Gordon “The Chook Man” Kakoschke on 21. The Chook Man survived a titanic battle with colourful local sporting identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson who finished with 20 points. Bill McMahon was next on 17, followed by Dick Cleland 14 while the mercurial Bob Taylor took the Mars Bar with 12.

 

Chris “Critta” Waters blew today’s field away with an incredible 49 stableford points. Critta reached the turn with an extraordinary 28 points and coasted home scoring 21 on the homeward nine. Runner up was Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel with 40 points. Things fell right away after that with David “Jack” Webster 35, colourful local sporting identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson & Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen 34, the mercurial Bob Taylor 30, Andy Phillips 29, Klaus Heymenn (Tarcowie) 24 while the Mars Bar went to Dick Cleland with 23.

Fourteen players hit off in Saturday’s stableford competition but it was the Wenzel family that dominated the results. The winner was Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel with  41 points just one ahead of grandson Kobi. Mark Millward & Bob Perry both scored 39 followed by David “Robbie” Robinson & Dick Secomb 37, Dick Cleland &  Michael “Tickers” Tickner 36, Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van keulen 35, David “Jack” Webster 34, colourful local sporting identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson 32, Klaus Heymann (Tarcowie Golf Club) 31, Trevor Maxted 30. The Mars Bar went to former member John Robinson (North Adelaide) 25.

Dick Secomb decided that it was too hot for golf today and spent time on the chainsaw clearing up some fallen trees instead. This left it open for someone else to win the mulligan contest. Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel stepped up scoring an impressive 23 points to win comfortably. Runner up was Trevor Maxted with 19. Andy Phillips scored 18 points and Peterborough visitor David Norman scored 17. Dick Cleland was unable to reproduce his Tuesday form taking the Mars Bar with 14.

Five players defied the heat forecast for Tuesday. Dick Cleland showed he was not going to brood over his first round defeat to Andy Phillips in the Jennison Match P{lay Cup. Putting together a first 9 that looked more like a Dick Secomb mulligan score, Dick reached the half way with 25 points that included a 5 point eagle on the first hole and a 4 point birdie on hole six. Nearest were colourful local sporting identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson, Andy Phillips & Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel all on 17. Dick cruised through the back 9 adding another 19 points for a total of 44, which matched Andy who was the best of the rest finishing on 36. Gus finished with 35 & Thomo finished with 34. David “Jack” Webster took the Mars Bar with 30.

 

There were no standout scores on Saturday with Andrew “Spacky” Spackman winning comfortably with 36 stableford points. A count back was required to find the runner up with David “Jack” Webster successful over Michael “Tickers” Tickner, both scoring 34. There was then a big gap to Dick Secomb on 30. The rest of the field tailed away with Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel 28, colourful local sporting identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson 27 & Kobi Wenzel on 22.

In the Jennison Handicap Match Play matches Andy Phillips was untroubled beating Dick Cleland 4 & 3. The other match scheduled between Spacky & Chris “Critta” Waters did not take place as Critta did not turn up. It is understood the players have arranged an alternative time.

Dick Secomb demonstrated his superiority over his fellow mulligan players yet again but in an even more emphatic manner. Players had to cope with cold & windy conditions which held scores down, that is with the exception of Dick.

Dick got off to a flyer with 8 points after 2 holes & finished almost as well with 9 points on the last 3 holes finishing with 24 points all together. The best the rest could muster was 19 points by Andy Phillips for a distant 2^nd. Dick Cleland was 3^rd with 18 which included 21 putts. Bob Taylor scored 17 followed by David “Jack” Webster & colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson 16, Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel 14, Andrew Lenartowicz (Peterborough) 13 & the Mars Bar went to David Norman (Peterborough) 12.
