2010 NSW Matchplay Set up

[Grunt]

Hi All

As Ping Jnr won the Matchplay title last week it now means we can get the ball rolling for the 2010 version.

Some things popped up this year that we have to avoid let happen again. Forfeits, I know some are unavoidable but this year was shocking we had more forfeits than matches played.

What can we do to fix this?

Should we have a post count before you can play in it? Alot of low posters said they would play but later forfeited.
Do we need a pre qual? Small field of 16 maybe?
Do regular players have preference in the seeding? previous Champ is 1
Strict time limits on games?
A round Robin setup like the NQ Matchplay? Regular games wit ha few matches held.
Need to cater for mid week games?

Post ideas to fix the problem so next year flows smoothly. All ideas will be considered.

Also guys & girls register your interest here too.

Draw Done and added here as an excel attachment

I was thinking of the round robin, but we seem to have enough trouble getting 2 games played, let alone 10 !

I will have to pass this year, I'm on the committee for my kids soccer. I'll struggle to get many games in at all (that aren't 6am hitoffs) for those 6 months.

Would Sydney be interested in coming down for another one day State of Origin?

I should be able to organise Parlyboy, TG, Bluescooter to represent the ACT with enough notice - reckon you could get three more from Sydney.

I'm happy to host at Gungahlin Lakes, or we could see if we could play elsewhere.

Sounds good to me Benno, just need to pick my team to defend our Title.

I am thinking


Grunt
Jimandr
Dotty
Andrew

Pretty good team :lol: Jim would come into the team as a replacement for SMS now that he has defected to the dark side.

[ParMaster]

I'd like to play this time around.

[terrys]

i'd like to play in the matchplay. I'm generally good for during the week or weekends.

[KristianJ]

Assuming that my plans to get myself a club membership and handicap by February next year come to fruition, I'm keen to get involved.

[Dotty]

1. Grunt, thanks for organising 2009. As Virge said, you have the patience of Mother Theresa.

2. For 2010, we should set an entry deadline, say 1st Jan, as this will give a chance for 1st round matches during Jan holidays, daylight saving, etc.

3. Condition of entry that must be flexible enough to play within a reasonable timeframe. (3OD has already mentioned that kids' soccer will limit his opportunities.) Ping Jnr is now on his learner's permit, so that should make things easier for them next year.

4. We should have up to 24 players. 8 seeds (2009 quarter-finalists or past record) go straight into the second round. The remaining up to 16 have a first round match. (Similar to this year, but I suggest doing the draw after the entry deadline.)

5. Other than that, pretty much same as 2009, which I thoroughly enjoyed, met some great opponents and great fellow-competitors, who made up the tee-time.

6. Go Dotty !

[ParMaster]

Does Ping Jnr ever post on here?

Also all good points Dotty but I don't agree with number 6. :-k

:razz:

[Scottt]

I think you have to be strict with round completion dates. It might not work smoothly the first year you are strict, but it will very quickly start to come together. This year, even watching from afar, was laughable.

But the main thing is that people need to decide before they nominate whether they are willing to put the effort in to organise and play matches, and like Pete did, assess realistically whether other demands will stop them getting it done. If you're not sure about both of those things, do the rest of the field and the event organiser a favour and don't nominate.

[jimandr]

I suggested this last year, and I'll do so again.

We should have two strands, a midweek group and a weekend group, and the winners meet in the final, if we get enough players for two groups of eight.

Whether that occurs or not, the competition simply depends upon the commitment of the players. It does require a certain degree of willingness to change our normal routine to participate in an event of this nature. In my view, going out of the comfort zone is part of the fun.

Naturally, no matter which format we follow, I am in (unless I've given up the game in frustration by then).

[Jono]

Grunt, put me down as well.

[burger]

wot jim said . .. .

and count me in, if only to give someone an easy passage to round 2 :shock:. I'll need pm notifications tho as work must consider this site a threat to national security as they have banned access :-k :smt108 :smt087. Two young boys limits the spare time at home.

stu.

[Sydney Hacker]

I would be keen, but it would depend on the time frames. Mid week games would probably be my best chance.

[terrys]

Taking the mid-week and weekend streams a little further, if we don't get enough players to do full streams, why not seed the draw depending on who can play when. For example, put guys that can play mid week playing each other for the first few rounds, then the same with the weekend only players. Might help more rounds get completed, then when the scheduling gets a bit tougher, there are less games to try and organise.

[Grunt]

Also would like to add I am open to passing the baton onto some one else to organise this from now on. Not throwing toys out of the cot, just that work and other stuff is up in the air at the moment and maybe someone else can work it all out better,

[wazandnic]

Sounds like an opening for you there Terry. ;)

[jimandr]

Also would like to add I am open to passing the baton onto some one else to organise this from now on. Not throwing toys out of the cot, just that work and other stuff is up in the air at the moment and maybe someone else can work it all out better,

I'll do it.

I did it the second year, so i know what needs to be done. I would've done it again, but Grunt was in ultra-enthusiastic organise everything mode at that time, so I let him find out first hand how many wisdom of solomon moments arise in this thing.

My real personal view is that the winner should be the organiser for the next year. In Pingjnr's case that may not be realistic, so I'll volunteer.

I also need to find a way to manipulate the rules so that I can get the title back while playing woeful golf. That can only be done from a position of power.

[Pinglauncher]

I will be unavailable next year. I am in the middle of a project that at this stage could see me working every weekend from late January to early June.

I will speak to Nathan and see what he wants to do. He should have his "P" plates in April but up until then he will be reliant on me driving him or have to play matches at Carnarvon.

[3oneday]

He should have his "P" plates in April
god help us :shock: :shock:

Still, it coulda been worse if I taught him to drive :lol:

[jimandr]

As Grunt has raised no objection I am going to take control of the running of the 2010 NSW Matchplay.

My first decision is to close off nominations in two weeks time, Sunday 17 January. The draw will be done that day, which will give some fortunate persons who are still on holidays the chance to get a match played straight away.

The draw will not be totally random. I'm going to structure it so that players known to prefer midweek play will be in the same half, and weekend players will be in the other half. I'll seed The Pings so they don't play each other first round, but they might be drawn for the next round if they survive.

Depending on how many starters we have, I'll let latecomers fill up spots instead of having byes, but those latecomers will get no leniency if they find themselves drawn against someone who can't play at a suitable time.

[henno]

Pup's sitting next to me and he's in. (Weekend times, not weekdays).

You didn't leave Pup at Yatala Pies? Kudos to you.

Is he still talking ?

[henno]

Yes and yes.

[Jarro]

[henno]

In the shower. Naked.

[Coffs_Hacker]

put me down for this again - but no games at canarvon

[KristianJ]

After a little think about it, I have a feeling I might not be able to get a handicap in time to participate, plus I don't know if the schedule over the next month or 2 will be favourable. So I'll need to rule myself out...:(

[Grunt]

Jim

I would be in but am not sure of where I would fit into the draw midweek or Weekend.
I am sure to go back on shift work soon as I have had almost 12 months off shift and any longer will be a definite bonus.

Slot me in where you feel best fits. I should know more in where I am headed with work by March/April. I will fit in where you put me.

[Yossarian]

In the shower. Naked.


This seems to happen a lot. :-k

[jimandr]

Time to bump this thread as a reminder to those who haven't nominated, but they are thinking about playing.

I am going to do the draw on Sunday evening, mainly to give those persons lucky enough to be on holidays in January the chance to organise a game if they need to.

At this stage I anticipate a number of vacancies, which I will allow latecomers to fill (but they don't get to choose their opponent) until the end of January. After that, anyone with a bye automatically advances.

[Sydney Hacker]

Depending on time frames I may be able to make a mid week game. After April or so I should be fine for the odd weekend hit also.

If it helps to get more people, I may be able to do a central coast game against an opponent from up that way...

Dotty
Jono
Ping Jnr
Pinglauncher
Jimandr


Grunt, throw me on the list!

[jimandr]

OK, NSW Ozgolfers. The draw is done. I've asked Grunt to make an excel spreadsheet and paste it into the opening post. I'll ask him to change the title of the thread as well.

1. Ping Jnr v 16 (vacant - bye)

5. Coffs Hacker v 12. Jono

8. Grunt v 10. TerryS

14 (vacant - bye) v 3. PingLauncher

2. Dotty v 15. Burger* * = not confirmed as a starter yet

6. Titliest v 11. (vacant - bye)

7. ParMaster (aka Pup) v 9. KristianJ* * = not confirmed

13. Sydney Hacker v 4. Jimandr

The numbers don't mean anything, except for the Pings, who I gave preference to.

As readers can see, there are still some vacancies to be filled if latecomers want to nominate.

The usual other rules apply. Every effort should be made to play at neutral venues, and a comp game under strict rules of golf is preferable to a social round. One of the reasons for this competition is to give us a reason to meet each other, so all matches should be announced in advance to give others a chance to join the group or act as witnesses.

I'll send a PM to Pup and KristianJ. There is an issue to worked out that is best done out of the public eye.

Enjoy your matches everybody.

[Grunt]

Thanks Jim

Will construct draw as you have made soon.

[KristianJ]

To elaborate on my previous post, I've decided to leave the golf membership and handicap obtaining to after my cricket season finishes in early March, since I know my weekends will then be free to play comps and get that number.

If there's an acceptable way to be part of the matchplay in the meantime (which may well come up in the PM you send, Jim), I'll happily work with it, but if not, I'm not going to feel left out or anything. :)

[ParMaster]

Nice job jim.

[Grunt]

Jim did you come up with any cut off dates for games?

Has anyone organised their games yet? I will edit the excel to add venues and dates

[Grunt]

Also the byes are not set yet. If anyone wants to join us they can and will slot in as needed. I will leave where they slot in to Jim.

[GolfBallWhackerGuy]

G'day everyone,
Just wondering when/where/time you guys are holding the matchplay games. If places are still available, I'm interested in playing but it depends on details. Also, do I need an AGU handicap to play?
Cheers

[jimandr]

Whacker,

As none of us have seen you play, I think we'll have to insist upon you having a handicap of some type that can be independently checked.

Your post implies that you haven't got an AGU handicap, but if you had a social club handicap that we could check, we might accept that.

[live4golf]

How'd I manage to miss this? - too late to join I assume?

[Grunt]

Not too late, pm Jimandr for a slot and he will let me know where to slot you into the draw.

[live4golf]

Done and dusted...someone gets an easy ride into the next round :)

[jimandr]

Done and dusted...someone gets an easy ride into the next round :)

That person might be Titliest. I have allocated Live4golf into the bye that was in that spot.

There are still a few opportunities, and some players who indicated their interest have not responded to my PM, so I'm not sure whether they are still interested.

Is he in? 2 spots open in the draw still.

Anyone!!! Other wise byes will be had by both of the Pings!

Lads,

I'd like a spot if still available. Cheers

[jimandr]

Lads,

I'd like a spot if still available. Cheers

I can find you a spot, but the spot I have in mind is dependent upon your prospective opponent agreeing. So, I'll send some PM's first, then report back.

[KristianJ]

Jim, just raising up Grant's query re. cut off dates. Pup and I were originally going to play this arvo, but I've got back troubles that I woke up with this morning. SO we'll reschedule, but want to make sure we don't leave it too late.

[jimandr]

I have made some executive decisions.

Dylcross is in the competition, and he will replace Burger, therefore playing Dotty in a first round battle of relative northerners. Dotty has graciously agreed to this change.

Burger hasn't replied to my original PM message, so I'm assuming he isn't interested. If he comes back from the dead, I'll put him back in against Pinglauncher.

As far as a first round deadline is concerned, I'm not really going to set one. My solution will be to wait until the next opponent gets impatient, then I'll decide which player is most to blame for the game not going ahead, and then forfeit that person. If there is still a first round game unplayed by Easter, I'll rethink that policy.

But, if we take a long time to play the first round, that leaves less time to play subsequent rounds.

So, unless KristianJ is crippled, I estimate he has a good two months to recover and play the Pupster.

[KristianJ]

No crippledness here, fortunately :) We should be able to find a good time within that period before the days start getting shorter.

[Grunt]

Updates as per Jim's post.

[uahmad]

if there are any more spots left Ill join the bandwagon!

[jimandr]

if there are any more spots left Ill join the bandwagon!

I was hoping you would see the light. I should penalise you for taking too long to make a decision, but I don't like conflict in social contexts. I get enough of that when I make unpopular decisions at work.

I'm still not sure of the intentions of PingLauncher and Ping Jnr, but I'm prepared to give them a lot of leeway as the finalists from last year.

At this point Uahmad is slotted into the BYE v Pinglauncher. Hopefully Ping will resurface and a game can be scheduled. You are both weekend players, so if he plays at all it should work out OK.

Grunt: can you do the honours and make the alteration (again).

[uahmad]

Sweet, yes Ill be honest i totally missed this thread! Looking forward to it.
Im available any sat/sun. Prefer metro Sydney. Not sure where Pinglauncher lives but im sure we can work something out

[Pinglauncher]

II'm still not sure of the intentions of PingLauncher and Ping Jnr, but I'm prepared to give them a lot of leeway as the finalists from last year.

At this point Uahmad is slotted into the BYE v Pinglauncher. Hopefully Ping will resurface and a game can be scheduled. You are both weekend players, so if he plays at all it should work out OK.

Jim, after finalising our project resourcing yesterday I will have 1 possibly 2 free weekends between now and mid May :smt093 It is going to be very difficult to commit to any dates whatsoever until then and my only golf may be last minute mid week starts. Happy for UAHMAD to take a walkover or whatever is easiest.

Nathan is caddying for one of our Major Pennant players this year so he is unavailable until early April.

[jimandr]

Ping

I have a solution in mind. I'll send you a PM and see if you agree.

[jimandr]

After discussions with Ping, we have agreed to leave the draw the way it is.

Ping is quite limited in his opportunities to play golf for a while, so if he and UAhmad cannot get together at one of those times, then Ozzie will get a lucky pass through to the next round.

[uahmad]

Im pretty flexible ping, sometimes i can sneak away early on Fridays, and also i have a thursday off in about 2 weeks. and obviously anytime on the weekend is fine..

Ill msg you my number in case you think you can play on the weekends with short notice..

[ParMaster]

Pup won his match against KristianJ today, 2 up.

[jimandr]

Now that we have had another match completed, it is time to put some gentle pressure on the other players to get their games done.

I am going to set a first deadline of Sunday 18 April. If the game hasn't been scheduled by then, I'll make a decision as to which player is most responsible for the delay, and they will be forfeited. However, I'll seek feedback from both players before making that decision. If players beg me for an extension, I'll give them until the Anzac Day public holiday, 26 April.

[Grunt]

Working on Draw/Results update, Any games other than Pup V Kristian been played or planned?

[Sydney Hacker]

I have had to pull out of my and Jim's game due to a dicky shoulder which just won't heal.

[dylcross]

Dotty, are we any closer to having a hit?

[Dotty]

Dotty, are we any closer to having a hit?
Sorry about that. (Been on holiday and a few other distractions.)

I'll send a PM.

[Dotty]

Dylcross and I have re-scheduled our game for next week (either 22nd or 23rd).
We've been taking it in turn to have client problems get in the way of our golf.

(If not done by 30th April, then scratch me, as I've been the main procrastinator.)

[jimandr]

Dotty,

If an effort is being made to get the game scheduled, we can let it go on a bit longer. Nobody seems to be clamouring for news on their next opponent yet.

But the silence from the direction of the other game that is yet to be played may need some more decisive action. I'll send a PM to the combatants later in the week if no news is forthcoming.

[dylcross]

Mate, if it gets to that stage we'll flip a coin.

I forfeit my match...really can't see me getting to play much in the coming couple of months with my surgery coming up...We've been trying to hook up it just has not happened.

Go hard Titleist

Next year will be my year :)

[Grunt]

Ok L4G I have passed you game on to Titleist as a Walk over.

Jono & Coffs are you guys close to having your match?

[Coffs_Hacker]

Jono & Coffs are you guys close to having your match?

I put our match on the back burner a little since jonos dad passed away. I sent a msg through earlier this week with free times. Jono said he'll get back to me. Hopefully should be done in next week or 2.

[ParMaster]

Bump.

[Dotty]

Forfeit for me as well, and sorry to muck everyone around.

Dylcross, I hope you can go all the way with this.


fyi. It's a legal issue with a client's software suppliers and outsourcers. I just happen to be the bunny that's trusted by all parties (and the novelty of going to an office 5 days a week is wearing thin).

[ParMaster]

Coffs, any luck between you and Jono?

[Coffs_Hacker]

This thurs at the Gong -bring on the crapfest

[ParMaster]

Love the gong. Best of luck to the both of you. :)

Past that date Jim. Time for a moderator decision?

[Coffs_Hacker]

Jono won our match 1up - All even down the last until i dunked my second. Have to say jonos putter won the day. He must of sank at least 6-7 25/30 foot putts. All i could do was shake my head (typical jono hole - belt the driver 300mt, duff the second, just make it on for the third, 30footer for par)

[Pinglauncher]

I have no chance of organising anything at the moment with work commitments. Whoever I was supposed to play can have my forfeit.

[Grunt]

Draw updated but I have not added Pings withdrawal until Jim comments as he is administrating the Match play this year.

[jimandr]

I have no chance of organising anything at the moment with work commitments. Whoever I was supposed to play can have my forfeit.

Ummm, I thought Ping had forfeited three months ago. I was waiting with baited breath for the Jono/Coffs result before telling players to start organising the next round.

So... players, start organising the next round of matches.

[Grunt]

Update did not work for some reason. I will add it later today.

Matches to be played are as follows;

Ping JNR V Jimandr

Grunt V Titleist

Jono V Uhamad

Parmaster V Dylcross

[Captain Nemo]

Pm sent mate!

[Grunt]

Has a cut off date been set for this rounds matches?

I was thinking

1st July 1/4 Finals
1st September Semis
1st November Final

How does that sound?

[Grunt]

Draw Update added.

[ParMaster]

That sounds fair Grunt.

I'll send you a PM 2morrow Dylcross.

[Captain Nemo]

Grunt,
Let me know a day you have in mind in June.
Im off the whole month, cant play the 4th or 18th.

[Grunt]

Monday's or weekends in June.

[Sydney Hacker]

Might be able to join you gents for a game on a Monday in June... but don't let that influence your final decision, suit a date that best suits yourselves and I will see what work I have on.

[Grunt]

How's the weekend 19th/20th/21st sound for our game Titleist?

[ParMaster]

Dylcross, does any tuesday round about 1:30 work for you? It's the only time I can play golf outside of weekends.

Unless of course you want to play NSW on the 27th of June??

[uahmad]

Hey Jono did you get my PM, still waiting for a reply for our game..

[Grunt]

Pup, Dylcross works in Newcastle so being available mid day mid week may be a slightly difficult match up.

[ParMaster]

My god I'm an idiot. I totally forgot to think that I can play like somewhere other than New South on sundays. hahaha

Guess we might just make it a sunday, perhaps at Asquith or something. I'm good for the 27th..

[KristianJ]

De ja vu much? :lol:

http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/18848-Pup-V-Dylcross

[jimandr]

I need to announce that my proposed opponent, Ping Jnr, has decided not to play. So, by a strict reading of the rules, I get another free pass.

If winning was the only thing, I'd be happy. But I would be happier meeting other Ozgolfers and playing matches with them. Followers of this thread may recall that my first round opponent, Sydney Hacker, was unable to play before the deadline due to injury. My suggestion is that I give Sydney Hacker a lifeline, and we play our match as a 2nd round fixture. I haven't asked Sydney Hacker whether he wants to play yet, but I can't see why he would object.

Do any of the remaining interested parties (if there are any?) object to this?

[Grunt]

No Objection here Jim

[Jono]

Hey Jono did you get my PM, still waiting for a reply for our game..

Mate, I did. I can't get any weekend days off for the time being. As per my original PM to you, my availability is Monday. Any chance you can get an RDO on a Monday? If not, I'll just have to keep trying and ask for a Saturday or Sunday off. I definitely can't for rest of June and first half of July.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the generous offer and so long as no-one objects I am more then willing to try and get a game in. The only hold up will be timing for me, we have a 2 week old baby now so getting out of the house is a little harder...

Having said that I am sure I can winkle a day off mid-week at some stage and meet up for a hack!

[Grunt]

Titleist has informed me due to commitments and other issues he has forfeited his match with myself. Jim what do you wish to do here, do I just move along to the next round?

How are the other games going?

[jimandr]

At least you have already played a game. That is good enough to entitle you to a free pass.

My game with Sydney Hacker should be happening on Monday 19 July. So some progress is being made.

I may be able to join you for that Game. Still on the Monday's off 4 day week here.

Who won this ?

[dylcross]

Grunt,

I have already passed apologies to Pup for the late response re match this week. I've got a bit too much on the plate at present to get out and about. Had every intention to, but the young bloke has our hands full and I'm not getting a chance to have a hit at Newy let alone somewhere in Sydney.

Good luck for the remaining matches Pup.

I'm not absolutely sure where to post this, as the game had no build-up at all, so I'll post in a few different threads.

The 2010 NSW Matchplay Final was played today at Camden Lakeside, between Jimandr and ParMaster.

The result: ParMaster won 3&1.

He was 3-up after 4 holes after I made a terrible start, then we squared every hole for a while with pars, then he won holes whenever he got birdies. ParMaster then choked big time when looking at a really low round, letting me win a few holes with pars, but I was never going to peg him back all the way.

Congrats to ParMaster.

Good work, MT. Score one for Gen Y!

Nice work Pup.. I thought you had given the game away or something?

[ParMaster]

Given it away? No chance! I just have no 'game' anymore. ;)
