2021 Xmas Round

11th December:

2021 Playing Group

As you can see, the skins golfers made an effort to look Hawaiian again this year. It is pleasing to note that all players are keeping in good shape as you can see by browsing through the xmas round archives.

The rules for the xmas round this year were elaborately kept under wraps until 5 minutes before tee time. The object of this subterfuge was to prevent any pre-round practice by the professional golf faction.

One of the pro faction took the 5 iron rule as a personal challenge and proceeded to play to his handicap and dominate the event.

On the other hand some players did struggle with the club restrictions, especially around the greens.

Special Conditions for Xmas Round 2021

The playing conditions were finalised by the founding members, Craig and Mark, while car-pooling to the golf course.

1. All players to wear their finest Aloha shirt.
2. Club use is restricted to 5 iron and longer plus putter.
3. Nibbles supplied by each player.
4. Standard stableford scoring applies with Golflink Handicaps and Skins Social Handicaps to be used.

Individual Stableford Scores:

• PeterD (8) 36
• Craig (23) 31
• Steve (27) 31
• PeterH (20) 29
• Mark (20) 23
• Kim (15) 21

Nth Turramurra 2BBB Scores:

• PeterD & Steve 42
• PeterD & Kim 40

Interesting Shots:

the entertainment for the day was provided by the varied approach shot attempts with 5 irons.

2021 Champion Presentation

N.T.C.C. Champion

The 2021 Champion is PeterD.

The trophy was presented by the 2020 winner Kim.

2021 Longest Drive Winner

Longest drive (13th hole):

after PeterD missed the fairway, the lie of the PeterH drive was inspected closely by the remaining founding members. It seems that if the drive was 30cm longer it would have rolled into the rough. However, ... the drive did stay on the fairway and recorded a distance of 211 metres.

2021 Joint NTP Winners

Nearest to the pin (15th hole):

the NTP was shared by Craig and PeterD this year after extensive measurements were taken. The result was 9.26 metres from the flag.

2021 Bradman Award Winner

Bradman Award:

The Bradman award goes to Kim giving him an enviable double after the win last year.

Catering:

all players provided their own nibbles and the drinks were supplied by the newly licensed NT Pro shop.

Annual General Meeting:

some sarcastic discussion points were raised but no decisions were put to the vote.

Rules of the Round:

NTCC Champions

Round 23: Rain.

27th November:

Three hardy skins golfers showed up ready to play, took a look at the rain, the wind and the flooded greens; then quickly ordered coffee and resorted to chatting in the pro shop.
