ACT Matchplay Challenge

[sms316]

I haven't even gone close to winning a net golf match so the challenge is laid out to tg01 and wbennent - two of the finest matchplay golfers in history.

Home and away format, so 6 matches in total. Scoring is 20 points for a win, 10 for a squared match, with a point per margin (eg 2&1 is 3 points, 5&3 8 points).

These 2 couldn't beat an egg :lol: - so surely this will be when I break my duck.

The matches, in no particular order;

[Bruce]

That's a nicely formatted challenge.

I hope the boys take it up.

[sms316]

Benno is in and I'm sure that tg will oblige.

It could be golf's first nil-all draw though!

[schanop]

That sounds fun. When is this going to happen?

[sms316]

I think an sms v benno match will be played in the next fortnight, pending negotiations.

[chappy1970]

SMS, looks like Schanop wants in

[sms316]

I was under the impression that Schanop only plays 9 holes early in the morning, midweek.

[schanop]

It sounds fun but a probably a touch difficult to join the whole lot at this time though.
I don't have any official handicap at Yowani yet, still have to manage to get time to play in a Sunday comp there to get my score card marked. So handicap-wise, it is a little bit unfair even though I know that it's around 7 or 8, but I'd like to be a spectator if you guys don't mind. However, every other weekend when I am in Canberra (every other would be in Sydney), my girl friend (also a golfer, beginner ) friend is visiting from Sydney, so she probably will have to tag along as well.

[Andrew]

Gee, it's pretty close so far.

[sms316]

SMS at home to Benno this Saturday. Will book a time around 12.15pm. Anyone else keen to watch the carnage?

1. sms316
2. wbennett

[schanop]

Will be in Gold Coast this weekend, so I will have to give the match a miss.

[WBennett]

You are on for this weekend SMS. And 27 points from one of us should be enough to win 3 and 2...

I have spots booked for the following weekend at GL - 12:20 Saturday.

Which track will TG nominate as his home for this event?

[tg01]

Just catching up with this

I am in on this crazy adventure. How could I not be, given the whole world is watching.

I need to check access rights over the next few weeks for Fed, otherwise I can do GC anytime (before I rid myself of the membership there). My preference is for Fed so hopfully there will be no issues.

Either way you pathetic homos are history, looking forward to taing this much regarded prize of being ACT's best ....?

[PeteyD]

Is this like Forrest Gump playing Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder?

[schanop]

wbennett, is it possible that weekend at GK for players without official to play in the time slot? I'm afraid not.

[Scottt]

My money is on TG. Granted he lost the only matchplay game I ever saw him play, but the dude that smashed him was a once in a lifetime ballstriker and putter on that day :lol:

[adlo]

Does 3 players qualify for a state matchplay comp?

If so, the WA boys can follow the lead of the ACT boys in a 3 way showdown.

[Dotty]

My money is on TG. Granted he lost the only matchplay game I ever saw him play, but the dude that smashed him was a once in a lifetime ballstriker and putter on that day :lol:
And I've seen Grunt beat him at Federal.

My money is on Not-So-Squeezy.

[Grunt]

And I've seen Grunt beat him at Federal.

My money is on Not-So-Squeezy.

Was pretty easy too, I was spraying it everywhere and he still couldn't do it. No killer instinct I think. Some may even say weak ;)

[tg01]

All loses mentioned are appropriately supported with good excuses...

The form has picked a up from when we last played. I am not concerned about wb, he is a an easy beat. If SMS keeps getting shots back he will certainly loom as a contender for the title.

Grunt, you will get yours at the Mt B game, as soon as Andrew organises it (he has some nice prizes to as a result of his NTP at Federal)

[WBennett]

Adlo

From little things big things grow.

Who knows, in 18 months time we could have a dozen competing in the ACT Matchplay titles...

Schnappy - you will need an AGU handicap to play.

Dotttttttie - my form has gone further downhill since our encounter. If these clowns can't beat me, they are the worst players in the world.

[schanop]

Will practice hard for 2009 match then! I'll be off to Bangkok next Month to play some golf with old mates. Luckily, it will be not so hot climate during December.

[sms316]

2. wbennett
3. Chriso gigolo (a fellow left-handed spaz who will fit in quite nicely)

You never know. When schanop gets a handicap, and welshy gets his deportation overturned we will be up to 5. I reckon at least 8 is a viable number to aim for in 2010.

[WBennett]

What time SMS? I need to psyche myself up for this monumental flogging

[schanop]

I met Huckles the other day. He's Federal member and seems to be keen on good golf. So that's likely one more.

[tg01]

Is this happening? Who is this gigolo, does he post?

[sms316]

wb - all set for 12.06. I would say that your arse is mine, but tht would belong in g69's thread.

tg - gigolo is a mate of mine - not a poster. Grunt has played with him (and beat him by about 10). He isn't even at our lofty standard.

[Grunt]

Yeah he made some comment about me playing Hybrid off the tee on 18 at Yowani. I got birdie I think he bogied it.

[sms316]

First matchup between sms and benno aborted due to predicted cryogenic conditions in Canberra tomorrow. Predicted 15 degs, with high wind and showers.

Think I'll go and watch the new Bond movie instead.

[Scottt]

You f**king pussies! It was 10 and blowing a gale here today. Man up!

[sms316]

OK - you got me. I had better be honest. I fear wb.

[WBennett]

Exactly. Meow.

I'm still playing at GLGC, only one of us is a cat. Is sms short for siamese? meow

[sms316]

You f**king pussies! It was 10 and blowing a gale here today. Man up!
I just saw this. 10 and blowing Gale? That's just wrong.

[tg01]

What a joke. This is becoming a farce, worst thread ever

[sms316]

You'll be lucky to win a match. Without a match being played, this has you in the best position you will be in for the entire comp.

[tg01]

At least I will show up for the match sooky boy. Disgraceful effort

[Grunt]

How come Welshy is not in this?

[WBennett]

Deported

or disappeared off the face of the planet anyway.

[tg01]

Deported

or disappeared off the face of the planet anyway.

Never did like him...

Wb, surely this weekend must go down as a win to you, failing to turn up due to weather is an instant loss.

[WBennett]

I'd like to think that its a win, based on the fact I am not a big nancy

[sms316]

How come Welshy is not in this?

I think he said something about going back to the mother country for a couple of months.

[razaar]

Did I hear "an early crow"?

[WBennett]

Welshy is booked in for tomorrow... Where are you Welshy?

For anyone not in Canberra, its about 1 degree, the wind is howling and its about to continue pissing down.

good call sms

[sms316]

Surely you are not playing at the Gung today? No protection from the elements out there!

[razaar]

Welshy is booked in for tomorrow... Where are you Welshy?

For anyone not in Canberra, its about 1 degree, the wind is howling and its about to continue pissing down.

good call sms

Might have to play it off the mats at Pete's Golf Connection in between cuppers. :mrgreen:

[WBennett]

Its currently 1.4 degrees after windchill. The rain has sort of stopped... I'm considering it....

[tg01]

22 degrees this weekend lads, still too cold?

[sms316]

Wb was unavailable this weekend. I'm playing Yowani on Saturday and ACT Champs at Goulburn on Sunday (I believe mountain goat is provided as part of the entry fee).

[WBennett]

Could be a late change - am good now, and have two spots booked at GLGC at 12:22. TG is confirming his availability. Round 1 might be underway!

[3oneday]

ACT Champs at Goulburn on Sunday (I believe mountain goat is provided as part of the entry fee).for Goulburn ? Must have moved the course then ? From memory it's pretty flat.

[sms316]

for Goulburn ? Must have moved the course then ? From memory it's pretty flat.
Then your memory is shot.

[3oneday]

Must be due for another trip there then, I reckon there are only 5 or 6 holes a little hilly, the first few on each nine are flat. You tee up high on that par 3 that is 220ish ? The hole before that is on the side of a hill, the hole before that there is a mild incline to the green.

Nah, you're just unfit.


:lol:

[WBennett]

TG v WB at GLGC tomorrow is on. Who is the worst match player in Canberra? This will be resolved by 5pm tomorrow...

Do we use the stroke index or the matchplay index - I am getting 4 shots and probably needing 10....

[sms316]

Matchplay index.

I predict an easy win to tg. His lack of height will provide a distinct advantage in the windy conditions at Gungahlin Lakes.

[tg01]

Wb are we in the comp? I hope so, because I drink too much when playing social golf.

I have two newly re-shafted drivers for tomorrow, have no idea which one to use...I am predicting wb gets a floggin on his home track.....did you say 4 shots?

[WBennett]

Last group in the comp... Single stableford. Two drivers? Which one will you throw further :mrgreen:

[WBennett]

Just a quick update. WB went 4 4 4 4 4 to open a 4 up lead that was never a chance of being caught up...

5 up at the turn, wb makes an up and down for a 4 from centremetres from OOB, then centremetres from lake to go 6 up. And a win on the 12th made it 7 and 6, thanks for coming...

TG did manage to back a great winner on the punt, and we saw Walshy liquored sitting on the okey badokeys. Hope he had another win there after his 47 points last Wednesday!!!!

[tg01]

It was close match all the way, with wb only just getting up, some may call it luck, some may call it skill...I hate the wind

**** I suck

Thanks to wb for hosting the match. The lakes is in very good condition and has obviously undertaken quite a few improvements.

[sms316]

7 and 6. A real nail biter...

wb takes a massive 33 points. tg gets **** all, and rightly so.

[WBennett]

17 is still shit. But we never got that far to discuss!!!

SMS - this weekend is out, the two weekends after could work. Let me know

[sms316]

I'll have to let you know. I'm supposed to be playing the Murray DGA champs at Albury that weekend, but the MDGA captain couldn't organise a root in a brothel - so it could well be a possibility.

[tg01]

wb played well, he was 'on' from his second shot. This is a long chapmionship - plus walshy mentioned he was keen to join.

[welshy]

I'd be keen to sign up for this, never won a matchplay either, but then again I have never played in one!

[Grunt]

I'd be keen to sign up for this, never won a matchplay either, but then again I have never played in one!

Where have you been hiding Welshy?

[welshy]

Been a bit busy thee past couple of weeks and then ran into benno and TG last nite, which prompted me to jump back on...and no, I was not deported !

[sms316]

Hope nobody draws the welshmeister on one of his 47 point days. I would hate to think of the ribbing a forum member would receive if they were to be beaten 8 & 7. :mrgreen:

[WBennett]

SMS, Welshy

I am free tomorrow, and playing like Matt Hayden. Who wants an easy 7 and 6 victory?

I'm away from tomorrow night until next week...

[sms316]

I'm back at work.:cry:

How about Australia Day at the Gung?

[WBennett]

I'm in for it. The course is always set up tough and its a good day to play well - the prizes are big

[sms316]

Mark January 26th in your calendar as when Benno's winning streak of 1 comes to an end.

[sms316]

Like a typical public servant, wb has completely stuffed this up and booked us into separate groups.

Go back to jamming the photocopier and taking a dozen smoko breaks.
:twisted:

[tg01]

Nice work benno......What time are you guys down to play?

[sms316]

Dumbarse is off at 8am. I'm down for 7.30am with 3 people with combined age of over 200, and combined handicaps over 100.

[WBennett]

I can't help if the committee off my club are incompetant.

What is Yowani worth a year? I'm thinking of moving...

[tg01]

Join Federal.

You blokes you come over for a beer once you leave the club

[schanop]

Yowani is ~$1200 a year or ~$51 every couple of weeks, no joining fee untill the end of this month. However, $110 admin fee applies. I just got my GF to join as a country member since she's living in Sydney. Once we have AGU handicap, we then can join you guys for the fun.

[sms316]

Join Federal.

You blokes you come over for a beer once you leave the club
Is there a wedding scheduled?

[tg01]

Is there a wedding scheduled?

No but my sister inlaw will be there

[Grunt]

No but my sister inlaw will be there

Does she partake in the Bum crack wipe thing too.

[tg01]

I hope so....

[WBennett]

SMS

GLGC, Australia Day Cup.

You, me, Bluescooter and Robbo, off the 10th at 8:08. Don't bother bringing fireworks to this one...

I'll concede 10 now as I'll hook it straight out of bounds, but I have 13 more shots to play with after that. Bring the a game princess!

[WBennett]

And SMS's run of rubbish matchplay results continued today after going down 2 and 1 to myself at Gungahlin Lakes.

After SMS was one up after one after WB hooked it OOB as predicted, and the next few holes were swapped and it was all square after 9 with SMS dopping a long bomb for a 3/4 on the 18th.

WB made it one up after par on 1, then SMS went for glory and hooked it into the soup on 2 when trying to clear the 250 carry... After both found the water on 3, WB made a 15 footer for 4/2 to go three up.

It was looking all over with WB having a 15 footer for birdie on 4, but a three stab opened the door. SMS won 6 with a par from out of the muck to get it back to 2 down, and 7 could have gone either way if both players putts had been a foot harder.

Come the par 5 8th and both were a chip away for 2 - WB hits a lob wedge to a foot from an impossible spot, and SMS blades a chip through the green. Match over

Rematch at Yowani in a couple of weeks...

[sms316]

I'll concede 10 now as I'll hook it straight out of bounds, but I have 13 more shots to play with after that. Bring the a game princess!
Nice prediction Nostradamus.

Thanks for the hit. The Gung is in pretty good nick, although the greens were a bit shaggy. Thanks to tg01 for the kind text messages of support he sent to me last night (presumably whilst half cut).

3&1 was pretty much on the money. Unfortunately.

[WBennett]

As discussed during the day, leaving the greens shaggy so something still exists after the predicted week of 35-38 and hot northerly winds was a surprisingly good piece of management by the greens staff.

And it helped you left everything 2 foot short all day.

Bluescooters 40 points saw him come 9th overall, and 6th in C grade. The winner had 47 points!

My 6 and out on the 9th cost me third place in B grade. Bugger...

[tg01]

Nice prediction Nostradamus.

Thanks for the hit. The Gung is in pretty good nick, although the greens were a bit shaggy. Thanks to tg01 for the kind text messages of support he sent to me last night (presumably whilst half cut).

I don't remember sending any text msgs...

Nice win benno, I will get you out to Federal shortly, I just maybe finding some form....maybe

[sms316]

I don't remember sending any text msgs?
You sent me 3 or 4 of them at around 8pm. Been drinking much?

[WBennett]

Hey SMS, TG

When are you clowns lining up for your next lessons in matchplay?

I am out the next two weekends, but free to spank you both the weeks after that.

[sms316]

That's friggin handy. I thought you were coming over to Yowani for a spanking this Saturday.

[WBennett]

I was waiting for the invite. Thought you might have been scared off...

[littledoug]

Ever the gentlemen Benno

[sms316]

Oh Sweet Jesus. He brings others.

[littledoug]

Oh Sweet Jesus. He brings others.
Somebody has to work with him, heck I'll even play golf with him on occasion.

SMS, I believe you are a rarity much like myself, a talented left handed golfer, okay so the "like myself" can probably stop at left handed.

[sms316]

SMS, I believe you are a rarity much like myself, a talented left handed golfer, okay so the "like myself" can probably stop at left handed.

You much more than that in common..... He also likes to play with his littledoug...

[WBennett]

What favours did you perform to earn 'gentleman'?

I struggle to comprehend :)

[WBennett]

And another 24 points to me after a 3 and 1 away win against everyones favourite crime against fashion SMS.

SMS fought back to be one down after 15, then a 3 putt 4/2 on 16 dormied the match.

SMS pulled out driver on 17 and smoked it, but a sand wedge from 103 to a metre gave me the 3/1 win...

On a 40 degree day, it was a high quality match with SMS having 36 stableford points, one shy of my 37.

Thanks to Chris Jigolo for joining us in the heat.

And Sol may be nice on a hot day but its a gay beer - just like anything else which needs lemon or lime added to make it drinkable

[sms316]

This hurts in a manner which words cannot describe. Benno has played to his handicap 3 times in 2 years, and two of them were when he played against me.

I doubt I could even beat jarro at the moment.

[WBennett]

SMS is right - but he has now been beaten by Canberras worst 12 marker (actually 14 and 13 at the time we played) twice.

You should be embarrassed.

TG - when are you ready for your lesson?

[tg01]

WB - How about next saturday at Federal? Let me know

[tg01]

OK Benno v TG this saturday at Canberra best golf course. It is going ahead, no wait......yes its now going happen

[sms316]

OK Benno v TG this saturday at Canberra best golf course.

Gold Creek?
:lol:

[tg01]

I said 1st not 4th.

When are we playing Yowani?

[sms316]

You pick a Saturday, except for next week and the Canberra Day weekend.

[WBennett]

We're on TG.

I am confident I can still choke from here...

[tg01]

I had a nice warm up in Pennant last week with a hard fought win. So I am match ready for this, except I can't ****ing walk...

[WBennett]

And if you are three up at any point, I will kick you in the injured foot in the hope you will fall down sobbing like a little sissy girl...

[tg01]

typical Collingwood supporter...needing to kick opponents

[sms316]

Please win your match Benno. If tg knocks you off, then he could beat me twice and you could get rolled.

Oh, the pressure!

[WBennett]

you summed it up in the title of this Matchplay challenge SMS - you are the worst grudge match player ever (I can say this knowing I have a 2-0 record over you, taking my overall grudge match record to about 4-7!)

[WBennett]

Congrats to TG for a hard fought victory at Federal 3 and 1 today.

It was a big fightback after I was two up and one under after two, and three up at one stage.

TG fought back as my driver become a hooking beast, and played some very good and consistant golf as well as never looking like missing a putt all day.

For Grunt and Dotttie - on the 7th, I found the fairway bunker, went 9i, pitch, one putt birdie. The 4 putt demons are dead

On a very disappointing note, there was no wedding reception after the round and absolutely nothing to perve at.

[Grunt]

Bugger, on the loss and more importantly the after match action. But to lose to TG, he is easy you can hit it crap and do him over. If I can beat him he is an easy beat.

[Dotty]

Ahhh, 7th at Federal. Benno's impersonation of Lindsay Jacobellis.

I promise that's the last time I mention it.



Edit. I promise that's the last time I mention it, tonight.

[Grunt]

Dotty, I just use that memory every time I three putt. I think it could be worse I could 4 putt like Benno ;) Always calms me down LOL

[tg01]

It was a good day out there yesterday. Benno played very well on the front and was 3 up after 6 holes. Kept me in it with some missed putts early.

I knew however, the choke was coming and by 12 holes I was one up. The driver left him and I started to make some good numbers. A good birder to wb on 7 (out 16th) ensured we went to 17, only for benno to bogey (damn fine bogey it was) and me to par with a well excuted iron onto the green....

What do you mean nothing to perve at, didn't you see the chick on the 12th hole?

Your next SMS - only you stand in the way of me taking the crown.

[WBennett]

After rolling in a 20 footer on 1, I didn't make a putt outside 4 foot for the rest of the round.

Finding 9 bunkers didn't make it easy either.

SMS - I tried the trick smack it into the face of the bunker shot. If I wasn't a retard with the flat stick it would have been the best par of my life...

I thought it was impressive that Federal put up a car for a hole in 1 on 12, and NTP got the hand shandy off the old duck! No wonder you love it there ;)

[sms316]

Scores updated in 1st post.



Your next SMS - only you stand in the way of me taking the crown.
Yep - only a complete 'tard stands in the way. If you don't win this thing you should be shot. You will need to wait at least 2 weeks for the crack at the title though.

Strangely, I won my first pennant match this year comfortably. Thank Christ nobody in ACT pennant posts on Ozgolf or I would be in deep kaka.

[WBennett]

SMS

Surely you can win one matchplay challenge. Come on, its only TG....

So long as you take both matches to the 16th hole each time, that should be enough for me to hold on to the title. You can do it!

[tg01]

This "only TG" beat your miserable choking arse.

SMS, it may have to wait a few weeks before I get the chance to beat you, maybe late March.

[WBennett]

are you two ever going to finish this comp off?

[sms316]

My Saturdays are all clear up until Easter. If tg can tear himself away from the mirror long enough he can decide when I will pop my cherry.

[tg01]

I am busy for the next couple of weeks, but will hopefully be able to lock somethin in shortly. My social calendar is just crazy......

[sms316]

One month on, and still not a peep out of our resident dwarf. Is fear holding you back little man?

[tg01]

No just busy, and besides if I wait a little longer my handicap will only get bigger.

Lots of travel on at the moment on weekends, making my golf schedule rather difficult.

[WBennett]

You blokes are pussies and I should win this thing by default...

[razaar]

What does the winner get besides "bragging rights"?

[tg01]

maybe Sunday week? 10th May (is that mothers day?). Not sure yet only 50/50

[sms316]

No good for me. Playing pennant semi this week, and after we beat Gold Creek the final will be on the 10th. If we lose, I will be in Albury.

Of course you could play pennant for Gold Creek this Sunday.

[WBennett]

ffs, are you clowns ever going to finish this thing?


ps - How about we all sneak out of work next Friday and play in the pro comp at Federal - no green fees for ACT players for May (http://www.fgc.com.au/upload/wysiwyg/welcome2/may%20promo%20flyer%202009.pdf)

[sms316]

Next Friday is no good for me - on a road trip to Hay/Albury (how exciting :roll:). I do have Wednesday off though...

[tg01]

Gold Creek will flog you guys

Benno thats not too bad an idea, although I am taking tomorrow off to go to Melb for the footy.

Maybe in a couple of weeks time, late May might be workable?

[sms316]

Gold Creek will flog you guys
Maybe. After playing #1 in every game this year, I think I am playing #4 so I can draw that big turd Harris. Some serious order shuffle going on.

[tg01]

You're just soft cocking it, knowing how good GC #1 is....Harris playing 4 now? That team is pretty good

[sms316]

You're just soft cocking it, knowing how good GC #1 is....Harris playing 4 now? That team is pretty good
I'm doing nothing of the sort. I would love to play Mick (nobody is unbeatable).

We don't have the depth that GC do, so we are going to try to nail down 6&7 (with our 3&4), and play our 1&2 mid-order. As much as I hate throwing matches, this order has a lot of merit.

[WBennett]

Isn't Mick Gerstenberg just a ring in from Goulburn anyway?

I am available next Wednesday SMS - want me to try and get two spots at Federal?

[tg01]

Benno

They cored the greens in mid April and they haven't quite come back due to the cold weather. Maybe worth waiting a couple of weeks but then if its only the costs on comp fees worth a hit anyway.

[WBennett]

I have a week left until I go back to work - that's why next week looked good!

[sms316]

I'm keen for a hit. Only catch is I need to play between 8-8.30, or close as possible to 11am. Even happy to play GL. I thought the course changes there actually made the course a little more interesting.

[sms316]

Time for the monthly bump to see if tg01 is;

a) still alive
b) over his fear of being beaten by me
c) sick of watching Carlton playing like 22 'tards
d) all of the above

[tg01]

tg01 is:

a) Alive and now have time on my hands
b) There is a certain fear I have of you I will never get over
c) Sick of watching Carlton play like 22 'tards

So lets line something up

[sms316]

If you play Mon 8/6/09 at Gold Creek does that count as a home match for you?

[WBennett]

You blokes are never going to finish this comp off....

[sms316]

tg is soft. What can I say?

[parlyboy]

when parly gets his handicap....lookout. I can drive good and really good at 3 putting...awesome actually.

[schanop]

Where do you play Parly?

[tg01]

What about a mid week game? Anytime inthe comp over the next few weeks is good for me (except this week).

[Grunt]

So are you playing SMS on Monday TG01?

[tg01]

Nope it has to be at fuddies farm or Federal...

[Grunt]

Oh OK.

Where is Fuddie Farm, is that SMS's home track?

[sms316]

Where is Fuddie Farm, is that SMS's home track?
:lol: I've never heard Yowani referred to as the Fuddie Farm, although it is 100% spot on.

I'm happy to do a Qld, and give up my home match to play at Goldie. I've probably played it more than Yowani anyway.

[WBennett]

With the departure of SMS from the sunny wilds of Canberra, I declare myself the 2008/09 ACT OzGolf Matchplay champion due to

a) Welshy getting deported
b) SMS and TG being too ghey to actually play against each other despite having a year to make it happen.

Do I get a Victory banner in my signature now?

[sms316]

Do I get a Victory banner in my signature now?
Done.

http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/1720/benno.jpg

[sms316]

I could always forfeit a couple of 10&8 losses and make tg01 the winner.

[WBennett]

Now that is a banner to be proud of. Thanks Shawn!

[parlyboy]

Hold the phone, Parly wants a crack....

[WBennett]

Feel free to join us for the 09/10 challenge... This one should have been wrapped up in bloody January!

[sms316]

I can't help it if tg01 was held back by fear.

[parlyboy]

Congratulations, and we'll have to have a ACT-NSW rematch later in the year.

[WBennett]

Woo hoo!

NSW vs ACT rematch as the long awaited Mt Broughton event?

[tg01]

Benno

Happy for you to be the winner, where has SMS gone?

I still have 4 Callaway Balls for Andrew's NTP for this Mt Broughton match in my bag...

[WBennett]

TG

You are alive. I thought you must have ended up wherever welshy disappeared to!

[AndyP]

Sooooo...was wbennett declared the winner by default?

[WBennett]

Andy

I'd like to suggest it wasn't by default. I smacked SMS 2 from 2 home and away, after I rolled TG 7 and 6 at home, then lost the rematch one down or so.

Not quite by default, but they couldn't catch me under SMS ridiculous scoring system.

[AndyP]

Sorry. I can't view the image for the points table. I'll archive this thread in the 2009 forum.

Are you guys doing something in 2010?

[WBennett]

Working on it - TG vs Parlyboy vs Me. As TG hates Parly and my home course, he is no chance - so I may as well do a best of 2 matchplay vs Parly - unless he walks of course....

That system is fine. All it does is reward large margins if 2 people have the same number of victories.

Anyways.... it would be very unlikely that TG would be able to catch Benno. TG's handicap is realistic, which means he wouldn't roll me twice. :mrgreen:

This tournament needs reviving in 2015 :)

[WBennett]

We have a few posters - DannyCallaz, Nug300, Jerry Springer and myself all at GL.
Any other Canberra types around?

[Buzz]

You forgot Monsta at GLGC!

Dunteachin at Gold Creek.

I also have a work colleague who I think has joined the forum but not yet posted ... he's at Federal.

I've got a few other mates who are members at ACT courses I am working on to join ozgolf .... I am trying to up the ACT numbers as much as possible!

[JustABear]

I'm another Canberra boy, member at lakes.

[sms316]

*Gungahlin Lakes.

The Lakes is in Sydney mate.

[Grunt]

I'll be in for this. Just need a golfer to play like Trent to destroy.

[JustABear]

That's me :)

Probably heating formula or changing nappies.

[WBennett]

Since becoming a father again, he disappeared off the face of the planet. Monsta had a hit with him at Belcompton, but he bailed out of a round with me and we never got around to it.

[Buzz]

Here I am :) Hey guys! The assessment is pretty well accurate. Little Blake is 9 months old now and going great guns in every way but one ... His sleeping. He's still all over the place, no pattern and some nights were lucky to get an hour before he wakes again.

Golf unfortunately has taken a big back seat :( I have thought of you guys though and I'll try and get back into forum participation.

What's been happening ??

Awesome mate.

Baby bluu was terrible between 3-9months waking up 4-5 times a night. But he settled down after that and it's been pretty smooth sailing, so I hope your little bloke does something similar.

How u are back in the swing of things soon!!

[Buzz]

Ahhhh I hope it happens soon! Biggest problem is he's just so erratic. No pattern to it which makes it hard to plan or take turns.

Definitely hoping to get on course more in spring. I did get to the Holden Scramble at Mt Broughton - that was a fun day and a nice course.
