WA 2009 Matchplay - Johnny Canuck is your winner. Bring on 2010.

[Golfnut]

Anyone got a quick link to matchplay rules as this will be my first crack at a matchplay round?

[adlo]

Soft.

That picture is beautiful JC, you just made me smile. Bless you :smt060

Golfnut, see you tomorrow, 740, Kwinana GC

[Golfnut]

Alright.....it's ON like Donkey Kong!! :)
(Now wishing I spent a bit more time at the range hitting my 3w :( )

[adlo]

Go to the range and try and fix your swing. That'll mess you up good.

Matchplay is easy, I play off scratch and you will get a shot on the 9 hardest holes as per the matchplay index. Each hole will be a half, win or loss. Once I have won more holes and you can no longer catch me, for example when I am up by 10 with 8 to play, you lose.

You can concede a putt in matchplay.

I'm a champion at matchplay on TW09 on the PS3 so this should be a peice of cake....NOT!

What does "You can concede a putt in matchplay" mean?

[adlo]

You can give me a putt and vice versa. "Gimmes", basically.

[Golfnut]

Obviously they still count towards the strokes for that hole don't they?

[Golfnut]

Interesting forcast for tonight & tomorrow:

Give him nothin Golfnut. Make him putt out even the 2" lipouts.

Matchplay is a great format to just basically bag out your opponent at every opportunity.
When Adlo is on the first tee ask him how he has been hitting it lately.

[simmsy]

Adlo, i just checked your score from yesterday mate! ouch!!!
Did you snap any clubs on your way around KB?

[adlo]

Nah, wasn't in that kind of a mood. Stopped caring after 6 holes. Rebjon just kept marking my card, had a much better back 9. Scary thing, I was only 75% of the way down the leaderboard. Some real shocking scores and a heap of NCR's.

Rebjon, well done mate, finished 2nd. You lost 1.2. Playing off 13 next week, hard luck :)

[adlo]

When Adlo is on the first tee ask him how he has been hitting it lately.

Parred 17 and 18 yesterday. That is how I have been playing lately.

[Golfnut]

I'll have enough demons of my own to fight without having to enrage someone elses simmsy......but who knows, by the 10th if we're both playing well the sledging may commence :)

[adlo]

Played match against Golfnut this morning at Kwinana GC.

Great day for golf. Was great to be allowed to head off as a 2-ball on a public holiday. Kwinana's definition of "busy" obviously varies greatly from most golf courses.

Adlo was victorious 2&1.

I turned 2 up only to watch Golfnut par 10 (with a stroke vs. my par) & 11 (to my bogey) to square it up. I took 12 and 13 to get back to 2 up.

I should have closed it out on 16 when I was on the par 3 green with a birdie putt and Golfnut was in the crap. I three jacked to give him a sniff, and he had shots on 17 and 18. He could have halved 17 if not for 2 chucks inside 100m. That's what I like to see!

Was a great match. Some big putts were sunk, some chips went awfully close.

I was happy to play to handicap and feel like some form of a golfer again after a dismal 2 weeks of golf.

Cheers Golfnut.

I'll update the matchplay spreadsheet. Now to take on Stephen Abootman :roll:

great stuff Adz. Sounds like a match very similar to mine and JC's.
Bad luck there Golfnut. Would of been pretty friendly conditions down there as well I think, hey?

Thanks for the morale boost Just!

We actually had a few 3 putts each today. Greens were so glassy, anything slightly downhill was near impossible to stop.

Beautiful conditions. Perfect golfing weather.

[Golfnut]

Thanks for the game Adlo.....as usual, very enjoyable out at KGC.

Yeah worked hard to square it up after the 11th only to give it back by the end of the 13th :(

I had a shot on each of the last holes hoping to square it up as per JC V's simmsy but it wasn't to be with the chunkers coming back to haunt me. The second chunker was just wrong and was my own fault which is what basically cost me any chance of a square up.

Would have been nice to have played the 18th with my own ball too hey Adlo (b!oody midday golfers in jeans :smt093)

Positive for me is I hit under the ton which was a good improvement from when I last played.

Go Adlo in the 2nd round!!!

[adlo]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the bogan locals hitting BOTH our balls on the 18th from the holes than ran parallel. Glad the match was over.

Bloody bogans. I bet they love AC/DC.

[Yossarian]

Sounds like a good match guys! Did anyone putt into the bunker on the par 5 12th?

[adlo]

Here is a bombshell, neither of us hit a bunker all day.

That hole is crazy by the way, will be much easier next time. That green sucks you in.

[Yossarian]

Wow well played! There are a couple of real opportunities to find sand on that course.

A bloke in the group in front of us putted into it, chipped out, putted into it again, chipped out, putted into it again, chipped out and finally managed to hole out.:lol:

What did you think of 16, the par 3 with the trees?

[adlo]

Weird hole when I walked up to it. Put hybrid onto the back RH part of the green, so I thought it was a great hole after that :)

[Yossarian]

I can't decide if its a really well designed hole or just silly. The trees really mess with your perception of the shot needed.

Oh there were a lot of bogans on the course on Sunday as well... :)

[adlo]

At the end of the day, it is quirky. Forcing an approach that is all carry. Nothing wrong with that, but some people will hate it.

[Johnny Canuck]

how did you boys go on 5 and 6?

good work aldo, can't wait to play you at kennedy.

or would you prefer a neutral venue:).

warn rebjon, next week he is getting the tiger experience.

I joined your group and tiger called me right after that...

there is no way he can repeat yesterday's performance with the mental case in the group.

reb got second, as well as $30 for best back nine. should get $70 or so on the day!

[adlo]

par-bogey I think.

Neutral venue please!

Rebjon cleaned up, I told him that he would get best back 9 at the very least. And believe it or not, he is keen to see the FIGJAMilton show.

[Johnny Canuck]

We are both members at Kennedy. We play at Kennedy. You are in my world now, bitch!

(PS. Kennedy match play record including pennants, 15-2-1)

[adlo]

You have been a member for years, hardly a neutral venue, bitch.

[Johnny Canuck]

Thanks Just, I was thinking the same thing. He has been there for at least 6 months.

[adlo]

Don't go getting grumpy bum to back you up, it counts for nothing.

I do not consider KB neutral, but I will play there to shut you and your big mouth up, bitch.

[Johnny Canuck]

I will take you for all of your internet money if we play there, or anywhere for that matter, Steven.

Don't call me your guy, I'm not your guy, fwend.

[adlo]

Mangs, fwends, guys and Just.

Chill oot.

[Scottt]

Adlo,

I gave this some thought, and I reckon you're best off - if a course you know way better than he does isn't an option - playing at Kennedy.

If there was an area of the game you were superior at, it would make sense to play on a course that exploited that strength, but with the difference in handicaps between you and JC, I don't reckon it's likely there is one.

At least at Kennedy you know the course well and can play to a plan on - and with JC's last two matches there going to extra holes, he's far from a cert, isn't he?

[adlo]

Scottt, JC is a good match play player. I need to play very well to beat him, esp. at KB.

Parklands golf gives me a slight advantage, in that my strength over JC is finding fairways. Granted, my driver doesn't fly much further than his 4 iron, but it is my slight advantage nonetheless.

[Johnny Canuck]

Match play is a different kettle of fish. The driver hardly leaves the bag. Granted, my last two matches went to 19 and 20 holes, but I also shot 75 and 76. Can't play much better on a course rating 74.

And you are correct, I am far from a cert on Kennedy. I forgot about another two matches I have had there. Correct record in match play comps is 16-3-1 including Simmsy and also when I had to give Shank Merkel 4 shots. (I had honestly forgot about that for 3 years until I was forced to remember who else I lost to). Now I am bitter....

Scottt, help Aldo out, you need to fins a course that favours a guy that likes to hit hybrids.

[Golfnut]

Funnily enough the hybrid only came out twice today if i'm not wrong, Adlo.......I was expecting it to make an appearance on most holes the way you guys were carrying on about it :)

[adlo]

Not Kwinana then. Hit it twice. Once on the par 3 16th and another time out of the crap on the 15th.

[Scottt]

How about a track you both dislike: The Cu*t?

[adlo]

How about noooooooooooooooo?

[Scottt]

Don't tell me you are paying for that shit, Adlo?

[adlo]

$10 for a year, so yes.

[Scottt]

Wasn't it $30?

[Yossarian]

This sold yet?

[adlo]

We got a deal at Kennedy Bay. Wouldn't have done it otherwise. It is decent, but not worth $30.

[adlo]

This sold yet?

So did I:oops:

Thank ad, that makes me feel special.

And a little disturbed... :shock::D

[adlo]

So JC, in conclusion, I'll see you at Gosnells for our match, bring my Entourage DVD's and that $50 you owe me. I'll be the guy in the Cross jacket.

[Johnny Canuck]

i would not play gosnells if you paid me $50

[adlo]

That is some serious Gosnells hatred right there.

[Bruce Dickinson]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the bogan locals hitting BOTH our balls on the 18th from the holes than ran parallel. Glad the match was over.

Bloody bogans. I bet they love AC/DC.

He is here most days. He is a member at KB chopper, just come down and have a hit with us one week.

Bruce - any idea when you want to play and where?

[Bruce Dickinson]

Bruce - any idea when you want to play and where?

would prefer later in the month as the club situation is still not resolved, happy to play anywhere North of the river.

Haven't played Sun City for ages...good neutral venue :lol:

[idgolfguy]

Sun City is fine for me haven't played there in years. Have pennants starting mid June. I can probably swing a mid-week round at some stage.

[adlo]

OK..... am I to make my match against JC the final of this thing??

[Golfnut]

What a Fizzer.....who hasn't played their round yet?

[adlo]

rebjon v qbnchopper
Bruce D v idgolfguy.

I have no doubt Bruce D and id will play if they are reminded. Bruce D was without a set of clubs for some time.

[Yossarian]

I'll join in off 27. :)

[simmsy]

I'll join in off 27. :)


p!$$ off!;)

[Bruce Dickinson]

Got the new I10's 3 weeks ago and they're still not used. Haven't played at Joondalup for 9 weeks and the next game aint going to happen until at least the middle of September.....works a bit busy at the moment :(

What's the maximum timeframe allowed for a match....end of November would be good :)

[adlo]

That would be undesirable, was hoping to finish the 2009 Matchplay IN 2009!

[Golfnut]

What's the maximum timeframe allowed for a match....end of November would be good :)

Merry Christmas :)

[Johnny Canuck]

didn't this start about 7 months ago?

we should try and wrap it sooner than later.

[adlo]

Agreed. Priorities gents.......

[adlo]

See post number 1 and Kwinana thread, post modified to change draw and finish this damn WA matchplay debacle.

2 matched to be played at Kwinana. If TourFit does not show, idgolfguy advances to semi's to play winner of Yoss vs Zues.

We cop enough crap on OzGolf for dominating the forums, so lets at least finish this damn matchplay!!

[adlo]

Idgolfguy through to semi against winner of Yossarian and Zuesgolfer, played tomorrow at Kwinana.

[Yossarian]

Sweet sweet victory.

[adlo]

Well done. First post edited.

Semi finals to be played before November 30:

adlo (15) vs Johnny Canuck (5)
TourFit (10) vs Yossarian (25)

[adlo]

OP edited, match 3 still alive.

MUST be played at Mandurah CC 7/11, as Bunbury will be seeded groups.

[adlo]

OK, OP edited again after the weekend match.

Both semi-finals to be played at Joondalup on 24/11/09. If possible, we will send the matches out in 2's.....

Joaquin (15) vs SnuggieThePokerman (5)
Destroyer of Bed Rolls (25) vs TourFit The ThreeStripe Talking Tank (10)

I will be MIGHTY impressed if TourFit can defeat Yoss giving away 15 shots......

[Yossarian]

Love the match ups.

Yoss is dangerous off that handicap..

[adlo]

I am tipping a 5&4 thrashing, in favour of the iGen-cardigan wearing, Tartan-shorts loving, Bedroll-destroying bandit.

I am predicting our match will be much closer. I hope 18 holes is enough to get a result, I know what you are capable of on the 19th.

[Johnny Canuck]

fair call. we're on dunes/quarry and i'm getting you 2up.

[adlo]

Lakes is the easiest 9 to sneak on for the 2nd nine, so we'll have to see.

[Johnny Canuck]

quarry is by far. tees on the other side of the road.

[TourFit]

Don't open that can Yoss...it has chilli in it !!

"AND YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE CHILLI"

After Sunday, I'm predicting Yoss 10 & 8 :roll:

Even if he hits that 6" cut shot toe down left handed ALL DAY!

I may abandon the 3Stripes...I'm not worthy, and will punish myself by not wearing it anymore until I can redeem myself!!!

[MegaWatty]

These new Avatars are killing me!!!

[adlo]

quarry is by far. tees on the other side of the road.

Good point, we will be at their mercy to see where we start. I'll try to book for Dune, but from memory they assign the 9 holes on the day.

[Yossarian]

Only a few days away boys, who wants to run a book?

[adlo]

It would look something like this:

Johnny C: $3
Yossarian: $4
Adlo: $5
TourFit: $101

[Johnny Canuck]

I would have it:

JC $2.10
Aldo $2.10
Yoss $2.70
TourUnFit $1001

[Pieface]

I'll put $.50 on TuF at those odds. Every dog has his day and all that

[Yossarian]

I dunno Tourfit has played joondy before, and I have been known to play some less than spectacular golf...

[adlo]

True, bookie shifting the odds:

JC $2.50
Adlo $3

Yoss $4
TourFit $99

[Pieface]

True, bookie shifting the odds:

I'll be collecting my $.50 at the next golf day.

[adlo]

Well done, OP edited.

Yoss through to the final, to play winner of Adlo v. JC.

JC, we need to set a date, as the final needs to be played by the years end as well.

[Johnny Canuck]

I don't get much mid week golf. Usually Wed afternoons if I start early and can cut out from home early. 3pm or so. I usually only get to Kennedy, but I could enquire about Secret. Sat is comp day. May be able to swing the odd Sunday, but I can't commit too far in advance.

[adlo]

I am happy to play KB if it is easy for you. Wed after 3pm is fine, we will have a result by 15 or 16 knowing the erratic nature of our games together.

If you beat me, you should play Yoss on neutral territory. We can't have you winning all your matches on home soil.

[Yossarian]

Can someone lend me a range finder for the final :) Or we can play freo public where i know all the yardages.

[Johnny Canuck]

You were a member at Kennedy for ages, so it isn't 100% home course advantage. Granted, I have been there longer.

KBay is easy, as I should be able to swing a cart for it. Worst case Ontario, have price. If it is a sunny day, we should have no problem finishing before they "close".

I can still test the waters with my Secret connection, but the few times I went, I was followed by security who was collecting the pins, so they too close a little early. This was months ago, before it got dark much later.

I have no problem beating Yoss at a neutral venue. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Even with my handicap decreasing by 20% in the past week and his only by 12%, I will overcome these seemingly insurmountable odds and beat him on any course, with the exception of Freo public.

Best case scenario, I beat you soon and then take out Yoss at Mt. Lawley, if I can make it.

[adlo]

I have played KB enough to not cry foul if I lose. I was referring to the final.

Secret Harbour is a crap track for matchplay IMO, much happier with the sundowner at KB.

Next Wednesday, 3pm?

[Yossarian]

If I play JC I want to play him on a course with lots of ladies on it so he gets kicked off before we finish and he has to concede.

[Pieface]

I'll be collecting my $.50 at the next golf day.

Assuming you saw this JC?

[Johnny Canuck]

Yep. Should be good. Have already called to check and it's a go. Hopefully cheap rates for you too.

[adlo]

8)

Cool, pencilled in, will wait for your confirmation.

[Yossarian]

Want some company? :)

[Johnny Canuck]

Worst case Ontario, we have to play the last few holes without flags. We may also have to move our cars outside the gate. We'll go in one car, to keep it simple if it arises. On a warmer day with more golfers, it should be open later too.

[adlo]

No offense, but I think we will be against the clock depending what time JC can get off work, so maybe not.

I'll leave it up to the "worker".

[Johnny Canuck]

Want some company? :)

You asking to be my caddy?

Would love it, but time is of the essence. We'll be a little pressed.

[Yossarian]

Ah didn't think of that, no worries guys. I'll play freo public instead. :)

[Johnny Canuck]

watch out for that tree, George, George, George of the Jungle...

[Yossarian]

Haha, great movie, what is it about chicks and horses.

[Johnny Canuck]

Getting close to 4000 Yoss, be careful!

[Yossarian]

Its alright I've got some plans for post 4000. ;)

[adlo]

If I go down in the semi, I will offer up my services as caddy for the final.

[Yossarian]

Do we have to fight for you? I could be interested in a photo of you carrying my bag while I stroll down a particularly scenic fairway. :D

[Johnny Canuck]

Maybe he carries both bags, like a Sherpa.

Yoss' handicap is bad enough. He doesn't need course management help!

[Yossarian]

You've seen me play, I'm gonna need all the shots I can get! I get aldo!

[adlo]

A second caddy may appear, that was my hope anyways.

This might take place at Mt Lawley, and my caddy services will be taken off the table.

[adlo]

The conclusion of the saga draws near. Excel attachment in OP edited.

2nd semi final to be played tomorrow.

Its Adlo vs. Johnny Canuck. The wild beard vs. The groomed beard. Australia vs. Canada. Buddy vs. Fwend. Bushnell vs Leupold.

Winner to take on Yossarian. Possibly at Mt Lawley. Must be wrapped up in 2009!!

Odds?

I'd have them pretty close, probably a slight advantage to the Canadian, on his beloved home soil and a crappy round out of his system last Saturday. Will he bounce back? I don't know guy.

Johnny Canuck $1.80
Adlo $2.20

[Johnny Canuck]

Skins, pins and long putts for added fun?

[adlo]

Indeed!

[Yossarian]

I wait with bated breath fwend. Go Adlo! And JC! I don't know who gives me a better chance...

[adlo]

If I win this semi, 2 things.

1) Forget the advice I gave you in the Yossarians swing thread. It was lies. All lies.

2) Buy the Adams @ Freo. And start gaming them straight away.

[Yossarian]

:lol:

How aboot NO!

[Pieface]

Good luck today guys. I give the Mountie a slight edge as he has that cattle prod to fall back on if Adlo looks to be in form.

Does Adlo get...9 strokes? Mountie has home course advantage. Should be close.

[Johnny Canuck]

10 strokes. Bandit.

[Pieface]

10 strokes...make sure you bring the prod.

[adlo]

10 strokes..... I need them. I don't have a JC cwazy short game.

Let's get ready to rumble.......

Rowdy Roddy TF is done and dusted!

[adlo]

I like it!

[Johnny Canuck]

Roddy's not fat enough to be Tourfat.

[TourFit]

After that comment...C"MON ADLO !!!

Save The Seals...Club A Canadian.

[Pieface]

Roddy's not fat enough to be Tourfat.

The mountie always was a villain :lol:

[Johnny Canuck]

Exactly Pieface!

I have to play to the role.

No offence, Tourfit.

I am so glad to see you got back to "work" JC.

[simmsy]

good luck lads, should be a cracker of a match.

i'm predicting Adlo in an upset to win on the 20th hole.

JC will have a chance to wrap it up on the 16th but blow it big time.

cmon aussie!

I can't believe you're not watching Green V Jones jnr!

[adlo]

What is that? Boxing?

Barbarians sport.

[Johnny Canuck]

I am now back to work.

There is no way it will go to a 20th, not enough daylight.

I'm predicting 3 and 2, for me, of course.

[Pieface]

Be careful if you spot any of these on the course today Andre

Mountie 2 and 1 for mine.

[adlo]

:lol:

Looks like I am the underdog. Excellent.

[Johnny Canuck]

10 strokes..... I need them. I don't have a JC cwazy short game.

Let's get ready to rumble.......

10 strokes vs. crazy short game.

good call. great fun. cheers for the match.

[adlo]

I didn't even get to use 3 of my strokes!!

Thanks again, have no time, will post an update after 11pm tonight.

I went down. Hard. JC wins 5 & 4.

I have never played 18 holes of such extreme weather golf. Normally when the wind is that bad, the front 9 would have been still.

[Golfnut]

Very funny last dozen posts lads.....brought back memories.

Hard luck Adlo....nice to see someone get beat as bad as you beat me :twisted:

Bring on the FINAL!!!! (Can't believe we got there in the end:))

[Yossarian]

Good work JC, bad luck ads.

The wind today was a bit cwazy up here so KB musta been a lot of fun. Look forward to the rundown.

[simmsy]

yeah had a bit of a giggle to myself when i left work today and it was blowing like 30knots.
Hard day to play against a bloke who hits his LW neck high.

Bad luck Adz.

Yoss, you have to beat this punk, he's going to win everything in 2009 otherwise, and you know he'll be telling us all about it for ever.

Make sure you don't bring your h/c in anymore before then.



oh. and well done JC that is a very good win mate.

[Yossarian]

Roger that simmsy. I won't come and clean up at Hartfield next week.

Oh that reminds me I got a golf ball for you. Your driver is going to love it.

[Golfnut]

One of these....?

I won't ruin the suprise, good thing Hartfield is not a young club otherwise the kids would be flocking around for their breakfast feed.

Pity JC doesn't share the weak stomach like TF has.....you could have a chunder on the first tee just to put JC off his game....

This picture sums it up......

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv48/adlo_2009/02122009423.jpg

The sun setting on my matchplay hopes and dreams.

What a day for it. Blowing 3-5 clubs all day. Across breeze on the front 9 and your typical downwind 10-13 and back into the teeth 14-18.

I blew 1 and 3. JC didn't play much better on those holes, but held things together well enough to win the holes.

When I did play well, JC would pull something out of the hat...... every time.

A near eagle on 4 after playing 2 iron/6 iron into the green (500m hole!)
An up and down from 130 on 5.
A punch shot on 7 that would be the envy of any professional golfer.
A scramble bogey 6 from the deep shit on 8 including a unplayable.
A ridiculous up and down with a bomb of a putt on 9.

A 365m drive downwind on 10 to set up a tap in bird (My 280m drive was far too mediocre).
A mishit PW from about 150 on 11 that somehow stuck on the green.
Reaching 13 (500m par 5) with 2 iron, 6 iron (again......)
Another unbelievable punch shot to 15 feet on 14 for a bird and the win.

Apart from a few wipes, JC played great golf. Handled himself on the greens extremely well given the conditions. I had no idea how to handle wind so strong on the (now pure and fast) Kennedy Bay greens. Wind was affecting the speed and break quite badly.

JC, I am not saying this because you thrashed me, but apart from 1 and 3 (and you hit a nice approach into 3) that is some of the most controlled golf I have ever seen you play. I really didn't deserve to be a chance today. You handled the conditions remarkably well.

As always, a great time to be had around the KB layout. And a great time joking and laughing at the expense of other Ozgolfers as we went.......

Highlights for me were few and far between. Almost driving the 12th green, reaching 13 in two and almost rolling the eagle putt in would be about it. A few 3 putts cost me very dearly, and only using 7 of my 10 strokes by not making the home stretch killed me.

Bring on the final!

I am going to spectate. If it happens at Mt Lawley my caddying services are off the table, but I will be the official scorer.

[Pieface]

Well done JC. I thought it would be closer than that but it sounds like you managed the conditions better and closing the match while Adlo still had a third of his shots in the shed was great work!

Will the final be a repeat of Summerslam '92?


SummerSlam 1992 - Hacksaw Jim Duggan Adlo and the Bushwhackers defeats the Mountie and the Nasty Boys in a non-televised match http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/Videlion/golf/Hacksaw.jpg

Or will the Mountie overcome Bushwhacker Luke!?!

[Johnny Canuck]

The Mountie always gets his man.

Mountie def. Luke 4 and 3.

Does that mean you are NOT playing at MLGC...or will play in the same group (and score for them at the same time)???

[Johnny Canuck]

He said yesterday that he would play in the same group so that he could watch the final.

[Golfnut]

Great review Adlo......I still tremble in fear when I think of any Sea side links course on a hell windy day like yesterday.

Well done JC.

Great write up Aldo.

You failed to mention the 20-4 skins match though!:mrgreen:

[Yossarian]

I think this thing is gonna come down to the last couple of holes, JC is gonna have to birdie a lot of holes to stay in it, which I know he can do unfortunately. So I am gonna have to play some solid golf to get up.

I think the course might suit me a little more, in that there are great big trees to get in the way of his low hooks. :D

Should be good looking forward to it.

Get that handicap down!

I'll be back to 5 this weekend.


If I've got more than 18 points at the turn on Sat, I'm drinking 8 beer on the back nine.

[Yossarian]

Sorry no comp rounds available between now and then ;) So 22 it is. Its ok JC it is only 17 shots.

[adlo]

I would have much preferred to play JC around Mt Lawley.

It is going to be a tight one, as Yoss can handle himself around parklands tracks pretty well.

I have a funny feeling 18 holes is not going to be enough. TourFit, you need to formulate a back up plan for playoff holes.

I am going to play in the same group and score. Joined by River Phoenix.

[Johnny Canuck]

i think i am in trouble giving up 17 shots. from what i have seen, yoss is much better than Simmsy a 22 handicapper.

should be a good match.

playoff will be a long drive comp.

[TourFit]

My back up plan is of the Tonya Harding variety on JC...if it's tight coming down the stretch !!! :mrgreen:

You know the saying..." Save the seals etc etc"

10 and 18 make perfect play-off holes BTW...not far to walk. Away and back to the clubhouse. A short Par 4 risk and reward, and an uphill dogleg Par 4.

If they are needed it shouldn't be a problem at that time of the afternoon!!!

[Johnny Canuck]

Why you thinking about taking me oot? I was going to try and avenge your loss.

I like his shorts!

And if you could get the boots in Kumquat then you could wear the matching shirt and have a full ensemble...think Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia.

[Yossarian]

Its getting closer. Do we have confirmation of stephen abootman attending this event yet? I need to know if I should start ramping up my game and preparing my game plan.

[Johnny Canuck]

Confirmed, buddy.

[Yossarian]

Oh ITS ON!

My game plan is to take full advantage of my shot holes. Which ones will they be? :D

[Johnny Canuck]

what are you off, 22?

i can't wait for the hole that you don't get a shot.

[Yossarian]

22 indeed, good thing I am not playing Hartfield again this week or it would be 20.

I can't wait for you to bogey and square that hole with me!

Oh can I borrow someones rangefinder?

Continuing his 2009 WA OzGolf dominance, Johnny Canuck thoroughly thrashed Yossarian in the final today.

Thanks to all the 2009 entrants, and to those of you who got scratched, you suck!

As we all know 2010 is very close, a dedicated thread is active and very close to having the 2010 draw made.

I will continue to run the thread as long as no one objects.
