The final will be played Wednesday morning - and the weather reports say another stinker :( I think I will be carting it - Saturday & Sunday in the heat pretty much flattened me :smt073 .

I think I will be carting it
We weren't allowed carts in our matchplay comps.
Are you sure you are allowed?

Good luck! 8)

Hmmm - will check this out. My opponent has one of those battery operated push carts - so that might make it ok.

those electric "powacaddys" are okay....
I don't think electric rideon carts are tho...

The blonde trainee chic in the proshop? Her name is Rinatta or something? I kept myself away from the heat by staying inside the proshop for 30mins yesterday :lol:

Just got some info from the Ladies Captain - the matchplay is classed as a "Special Event" (rather than "championship event" - I think maybe because there is no qualifying) and therefore I can use a cart :D It just looks too bloody hot - plus I have to go to work afterwards.

So how did you get in the event, if there was no qualifying? Were all ladies eligible?

We put our names down on a sheet if we were interested in playing, then they did a random draw - I think we had 24 people - which meant it was completely random who got a bye and who had to play to get it down to 16.

I believe the Men's Match Play requires 36 hole stroke even to determine Top 32, then it's a seeded draw.

Yeah, mine was 36 hole stroke. I just didn't know I had played those 36 holes, because the two rounds were played over two months.

[Keza_G]

Ok mandy,

Is it tomorrow ?????

Go and tear that course up girl..... Confidence and Routine..... you've done it before, now it's time to do it again......

Bring us home that "Dust Collector"......Match play Champ......

[amanda]

Keri - yes - tomorrow! Can't wait - I am very much looking forward to this - a completely new experience as I've never had to give someone shots in matchplay before - must concentrate on every shot!

We are teeing off at 8.30am to try and beat some of the awful Sydney heat.

[Keza_G]

Thanks for the positive support everyone - but I lost 2 down on the 18th (she was 1 up going into the last hole and I just had a shocker).

Had a horror day with the driver - I couldn't control/predict the damn thing and it was going fade/slice/draw/straight in no particular order! I had my ball nestle up against the root of a tree 3 times :shock: Same issue with my longer irons as well. I tried not to think about fixing whatever was going wrong - just tried to compensate - but the ball would just go the other way!

I'm actually amazed I managed to keep the score as close as 2 down.

My putting was also awful - couldn't read a putt to save my life - nor judge the speed. She put in anything within 4m.

She has a handicap of 28, so I gave her 7 shots, but today, we calculated our scores and she played to about 23 - so she was definitely the more deserving of us to win. It obviously wasn't meant to be my year after my horrendous golfing display - I'll get it next time :D

Sorry to disappoint you all :cry: - but thanks for all the support! At least I'm still B-grade champion :D :D

Was there any sign of the niggle or mind games as suggested?

No harm done is going down 2-down. At least you took her to the last!

[amanda]

Was there any sign of the niggle or mind games as suggested?
On Sunday there was a bit - but not today - we just had a good old chat & gossip as we went around!

[AndyP]

Oh well, Mandy. :(

You did well to get as far as you did.
You will be all the more wiser, next time around.

That was Mandy's semi final opponent. Pay attention.
