2007 QLD Matchplay

Draw attached

dc68 - do you wanna play our match on Saturday at the champs ?

I'm pretty busy at the moment too, and I haven't played Kooralbyn in 10 years, so it's a neutral venue for me.

[dc68]

Well seeing as I have played there 4-5 times this year and having another hit there on the 18th it sounds ok..... Seriously if we can play before then it would be preferable, last thing I want in a champs round is to be worrying about how the match is going. IF there is no option I have no problem with it though.

This whole event is a joke...punters bailing left right and centre...its got no cred whatsoever...

[PeteyD]

Bail out then 69er, we can slot Jarro back in

[peter_rs]

G69 you never pm me to say you had pulled out

I think we aim for at worse to have the finial played on sat or friday at the champs.

Mate, it's not people bailing that's the problem, it's matches not being played on time that stuffs it all up. I played one match in May then I had to rush to get the next one played because of previous delays. Doesn't work for me so I bailed and I won't make the mistake of putting my name down next year.

[peter_rs]

put your name down choppa next year, I think dead lines have to stand.

[Grunt]

If I can offer any advise it would be to set out to have the Matchplay Draws done before Xmas and enforce the time limits. NSW has been a real hassle due to the difficulty in getting games organised. You guys have way more games than us down here so should have done this much easier. We will have our champ by the end of this week (Sunday).

[AndyP]

Both NSW and Qld have had forfeits, and Vic hasn't even really started. Not exactly a huge success, but I'd rather it stayed.

[goughy]

I agree. I think it'd be a shame for it to be dropped. This year was my first chance to play in it and I got rolled first round. I don't think enforcing the deadlines is gonna do anything other than cause forfeits since they are occuring anyway!

[poidda]

Yeah, the players just need to pull their finger out!

[mikezone13]

Yeah, the players just need to pull their finger out!

Or lose early and stop whinging

[shazza_rs]

How bout if you dont intend to be available to play in the matchplay comp then don't bloody enter... its not freaking rocket science!

[jarro]

Drop it, it's lost it's appeal

[markTHEblake]

where did all this talk about dropping the Matchplay come from. just because one player has pulled out?

There is already a discusson thread about possible changes for next year to make it better. We could also rename it the Jarro Memorial.

[peter_rs]

I think just have it over a shorter time period so people can commit. eg we arrange games ever 2 weeks or something and all try and play on the same day. That way you know you have to commit for 4 games over 8 weeks. and its more of a tourney feel.

[Eag's]

I will be giving it a miss next year as well.

[goughy]

11th hole...both had a good old chop...jarro got unlucky with his approach..5 wins the hole and its handshake time..8 / 7.

Just reading the tiger woods stats etc, I noticed that he won this years matchplay 8/7. Does this mean out g-man's efforts were tiger in stature???

[dc68]

No it was better as tiger had 36 holes to play with....

**** that hurt to say.
