THURSDAY 6th MARCH
FATCAT'S 'NRL TIPPING COMPETITION WITH A DIFFERENCE'

The Earlwood Social Golf & Euchre Club, a magnet for under-performing golf and euchre players from Earlwood and surrounds, is again hosting Fatcat's innovative 2. 'NRL Tipping Competition With A Difference'.  An $80 entry fee, which must be paid prior to the start of the competition, ensures participants a season of weekly angst.

There are a few things that make this competition stand apart from all the others.  The first is so very simple and yet fiendishly difficult - you don't make a selection in every game.  WTF !?!  On a normal weekend, you 'only' need to pick 3. 6 winners from any of the 8 games.  These 6 picks are known as your scratch selections.

Second, another class of selections is added to the mix - handicap selections.  The underdog in each game is given a points start and you must select a further 4 winners, again from any of the 8 games, taking the starts into account.

Besides the major prizes, there are 4. 11 opportunities during the season to win some cash.  And finally, Fatcat conducts an entertaining, professional and most importantly a transparent competition as evidenced by the fact last year nearly half of the tipsters (48 of 103) had been playing for 20 years or more and 66 had been involved for at least 10 years.

1. With Round 1 split over two weekends and the first two games being played in the US, the tipping competition will begin on Thursday, March 6, with the remaining 6 games

2. Although sharing sporting, pseudo-celebrity, gambling interests and greatly admiring the now defunct charity's business acumen and chutzpah, Fatcat's 'NRL Tipping Competition With A Difference' was regrettably never associated with The Shane Warne Foundation.  However, in a step up from registered charity status, the Earlwood Securities Exchange has accepted our bona fides as an accredited Tier 1 Ponzi (or Pyramid) Scheme

3. Too easy to just pick 6 scratch winners?  Last season, with 103 tipsters and 24 full rounds, there were only 30 occasions when all 6 selections won or about 1.2%

4. Based on the 2024 competition

SATURDAY 17th MAY
THE EVERYTHING'S COMING UP $TRUMPS TOUR

Like every one of the past years, the ESG&EC will soon pack up it's bag of tricks, multiple decks of Queen's Slipper playing cards, golf sticks and 5. Scanlen's footy cards and travel up to the NSW Central Coast to conduct it's week-long festival of sport and provide solace and cheer to the 6. good burghers of The Entrance.

To assist players with their preparation, the club offers voluntary but extremely popular pre-tournament 1, 2 or 3 day sea-level acclimatisation and intensive hydration certificate programs run by the Shearman Institute, the self-accredited industry leader in hydration theory - but certainly not practice.  Program graduates are invited to apply for their Hydration PhD at Wednesday's 7. 10 to 10 session at The Lakes Hotel under the watchful gaze of institute supremo, Dr. Dick.

5. Visit the 'Fatcat's NRL Tpping' area of this website to see our extensive collection of 1980 Scanlens footy cards

6. Not to be confused with Jose-Mumma Olazabal, a rather bad burgher

7. The 10 to 10 may start at 9.00am if the hotel's morning Happy Hour is operating

WEDNESDAY 21nd MAY
WORLD SERIES OF EUCHRE

The lesser tournament of the week is played at The Lakes Hotel Euchredome.  The knock-out event is held after Wednesday's races and begins with the all important draw for partners conducted under the Blue '6 Card' Sheedy B.Eu (Hons) protocol.  '6 Card', who threw in his hand for the final time in September 2023, was the Earlwood Euchre University's professor emeritus.  According to the wily old matchmaker's protocol, last year's winners, Dick Faldo and Davidson Love, will start at long odds to team up let alone go back to back.

OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER
MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Dating back to 1989, The Championship is the ESG&EC's second major tournament.  Once famously described in Federal Parliament as ".. combining the pomp, ceremony and tradition of a British royal coronation with the appalling drunken behaviour of Munich's Ocktoberfest patrons ..", the tournament continues to draw record fields and boisterous crowds to the challenging Cooks Peninsula links course, the R&A Marrickville.

The tournament is a handicap match play event spanning 3 consecutive weekends and, with the possible exception of the semi-finals on the Friday before the final, competitors must 8. walk the course and comply with the Tournament Competition Committee's (TCC) nominated playing schedule.

All members are welcome to play socially in the tournament's opening day, The Don Lane Invitational (a stableford event this year), even if they are unable to participate in the match play rounds.

The Royal & Ancient Marrickville Old Course will host the Match Play Championship for the 37th consecutive year.  This internationally renowned public course, featuring the toughest and most picturesque holes on the Cooks Peninsula, provides competitors with the ultimate golfing challenge.

8. A medical exemption to play in a cart is available for eligible members
