Workers

Grim (c)

Massive beanie, in more ways than one.  Deserved captain after years of faithfully chasing the Jacob Oram award.  

Gold Jacket Odds - $45.20

Likely award - Best tallest, curly haired, lefthanded accountant from Blenheim

 

Woody

Loves the JRC, probably too much.   Will annoy the opponents into submission.  On course drinking an issue.

Gold Jacket Odds - $15.50

Likely award - Colin Montgomerie

 

Pernice

Given his love for sport, should be better at golf.  Analysis will eventually pay dividends.   Long shot.

Gold Jacket Odds - $98.80

Likely award - TP award for most frustrated

 

Motor

Needs to keep his drinking in check to stand a chance.  Likely won't bother, leaving little on course chance.

Gold Jacket Odds - $58.90

Likely award - Best talker

 

Reido

Loves golf, loves lads and loves trivia the most.  Will struggle if the wind gets up.  Scotty won't save him.

Gold Jacket Odds - $28.00

Likely award - Cutest golfer

 

Webster

Great man to have on your team.  Struggles away from home, but underestimate at your peril.

Gold Jacket Odds - $7.60

Likely award - Flattest swing

 

VB

Ronaldo lookalike who bowls medium pace at best.  Not much better at golf.  It's Miln without an E.

Gold Jacket Odds - $101.00

Likely award - Person to say "Oh Brad" the most

 

Mulvey

Solid performer.  Opponents will know of handicap fraud in 2020.  Will win matches, hangover dependent.

Gold Jacket Odds - $15.50

Likely award - Most excited

 

Hurricane Ed

Powerful man with powerful hair.  Drinks and laughs like a champion.  Is he an accoutant?  Really?

Gold Jacket Odds - $35.00

Likely award - Biggest calves

 

JBW

Should play more golf.  A wasted talent.  But given he plays off the max handicap, always a threat.

Gold Jacket Odds - $12.40

Likely award - Fastest runner

 

Brad Reid

Does he really want to be here?  If puppetry translated to on course he'd win all day.  Money safer elsewhere.

Gold Jacket Odds - $71.65

Likely award - Worst golf shoes

 

Bundy (welcome back)

Huge return for a former stalwart.  Expectations and own excitement will be too much to bear.  Will crumble.

Gold Jacket Odds - $81.00

Likely award - Best overseas player

Marsden (c)

Competitive as the day is long.  Struggles if gimmes not given.  But will fight through banter all bloody weekend.  

Gold Jacket Odds - $9.70

Likely award - Best captain

 

Wakey

Shoots real good occasionally.  Rest of the time dishes up weak tripe.  Best short game ever still not enough.

Gold Jacket Odds - $18.10

Likely award - Best organiser

 

Paddy

Best natural talent for miles.  Always contends.  Fuck with his finely tuned plan for best results as an opponent.

Gold Jacket Odds - $6.80

Likely award - Smallest mouth

 

Paddles

Weight of expectation will see him fold yet again.  Knows he should do better, but won't.  And not for the first time.

Gold Jacket Odds - $9.30

Likely award - Most sensible drunk

 

Baz

Hasn't won a JRC for 6 years.  Single-handedly lost his team 2 of them.  No fortitude.  Do not back.  

Gold Jacket Odds - $1001.00

Likely award - Most repetitive banter

 

Boof

Can use rookie tag as an excuse only once.  Will try his best but unlikely to do much more than look good.

Gold Jacket Odds - $36.30

Likely award - Sexiest voice

 

Boner

Just no good at golf.  Tries hard, but that doesn't count on the leaderboard.  Of which he'll be near the bottom.   

Gold Jacket Odds - $62.00

Likely award - Shittest story about a 9 he made

 

Hughnit

Oh gosh.  He's back is he...?   Needs to remember its a boozing and golf trip.  If the former, would win easy.

Gold Jacket Odds - $1001.00

Likely award - Drunkest

 

Rosco

Top performer.  Unflapable nature extends to not caring about shit dance moves.  Big chance with a crap swing.

Gold Jacket Odds - $5.80

Likely award - Quietest golfer

 

Hummer

Surprising plays quite a bit of golf.  You wouldn't know it though.  Will get eaten alive by Cape Kidnappers.

Gold Jacket Odds - $31.00

Likely award - Nandor Tanczos for biggest hippie

 

Syddall

His focus on handicapping the non-handicappers will again be a distraction.  If only he looked at his own game.

Gold Jacket Odds - $17.60

Likely award - Earliest to bed

 

Nancy

Great banter.  Great passion.  Great smile. 

All great except for on the course.  Will struggle.  Again.

Gold Jacket Odds - $51.00

Likely award - Best popped collar
