[Yossarian]

No dates mate, it takes place throughout the year. You are more than welcome as long as you have some form of offical handicap?

[MegaWatty]

It's normally four rounds and you and your opponent just have to play your match in time.

NB. I am not trying to take over from The Don. He is mire than welcome to run this. :)

[MegaWatty]

Seldom. Nuffie. Vee4. Veeman.

Who else is missing?

[simmsy]

V4 is oot.

[MegaWatty]

V4 is oot.

Just read the post. Cheers.

[dean0820]

thanks guys. still working on the official h'cap, japanese one not being recognized here unfortunately.
any advice on how to get one would be appreciated.

[MegaWatty]

You don't want to join a club?

[dean0820]

oh i want to alright, but i wouldn't know where to go and even if i did, there's always the money to think about.

[MegaWatty]

Yoss will help you get a country membership at Bunbury to start with and get yourself a handicap.

You're up Scarborough way from memory?

[dean0820]

yep, scarborough.
i looked at bunbury online but saw that i needed references from members and gave up.
i'd be grateful for any help yoss or fellow ozgolfers could give me.

[MegaWatty]

I reckon they'll let you in without references. Most clubs just get two board members to forward and second you.

[dean0820]

in that case, i'll give it a crack.

[simmsy]

ADLO could also help u.
Bunbury has some good recip clubs in Perth.

We need to finalize numbers pronto to get this up and running.

I am happy to PM all and sundry but can we get a list of WAnkers that need a poke in the ribs.


Seldom
Veeman
Qbnchoppa
Nuff

[simmsy]

Yoss was keen as.

[simmsy]

Max field of 16 hey???

Need to be able to complete in the year, I reckon close off by Sunday and post up draw for next week hey??

[TourFit]

Can anyone tell me what happens if I get to Rnd 2...?

[simmsy]

can they let me know too please!

[simmsy]

i will do the draw on sunday night so if your name isn't on the list and you are keen let us know.

[hocko]

Anyone heard if Bergsy is keen?

[idgolfguy]

Played Vines with him today - meant to ask.

He didn't last year but I'm sure he could be coerced.

[simmsy]

PM sent to Mr Bourbonater.

[dean0820]

PM sent to Mr Bourbonater.

is that me?
( i didn't get a pm if it is. i'm just paranoid about my drinking if it's not).

[MegaWatty]

is that me?
( i didn't get a pm if it is. i'm just paranoid about my drinking if it's not).

Paranoid. ;)

[simmsy]

Don't worry Deano it's not u.

[adlo]

Cheers OMS, yep I'll be in but need to get the 'cap to a realistic number first!

[hocko]

Time to drop the anchor you mean?

[simmsy]

yep he's gonna push himself out to 16 like IDG and then be the bandit of 2011.

watch the aldo go.

how was the trip mate? all good?

[simmsy]

nuffie is in.

[simmsy]

list updated:


1. MegaWatty

[idgolfguy]

yep he's gonna push himself out to 16 like IDG and then be the bandit of 2011.

I was off 17 two weeks ago but now off 15. I will be off 14 if I have a good round this Saturday.

[idgolfguy]

Where is Zeus? Has he gone the way of the other Greek gods?

[adlo]

Time to drop the anchor you mean?
No, I need my handicap to reflect my form. Need a few more comp rounds.

yep he's gonna push himself out to 16 like IDG and then be the bandit of 2011.

watch the aldo go.

how was the trip mate? all good?
Great trip, cheers.

Handicap should be 18 or so I think. Apart from some good form at KB in the 2 man ambrose a few weeks back, my golf game has been more unpredictable than OMS's crook knee!

Where is Zeus? Has he gone the way of the other Greek gods?
I wouldn't wait on him.

[Pieface]

Well at least I'm in the top 10 to start with!

My early tip is for id. If he hovers around 14-15 he'll be hard to beat when the chips are down.

[simmsy]

Haha. I hear ya pie. Nice to be somewhere near the top at sone point of a comp.

[idgolfguy]

Not me - should be back to 11 or 12 by the end of Jan or Feb.

Are we ready to do the draw? Perhaps we can all get together and do a cockroach race for the 1st round groupings.

[idgolfguy]

Dazgolfer where are you? He has a handicap now.

[simmsy]

Draw will be done soon. We have 14 ATM and a random draw will take place.

If u can confirm Dazgolfer is in, JC will play in rd1 if not both JC & Mega get 1st rd bye.

[adlo]

Surely we can get 16.

Topdog?

[simmsy]

A number of guys not popping they're head hey!

[Golfnut]

Update the op please MW.

[Johnny Canuck]

Can anyone tell me what happens if I get to Rnd 2...?

A second OzGolfer ends up with a headache.

Besides Yoss, who else in WA loves coq?

[bergsey]

Bergsey

[Johnny Canuck]

Sold.

[simmsy]

Bergsey

U in for mp bergsey?

[idgolfguy]

Dazgolfer will be in, have just texted him. There shouldn't be any reason why he won't play.

He hasn't responded yet cause its early,

... And that would make 16! May the best matchplayer win.

[bergsey]

U in for mp bergsey?

Well better that than coq !

[Johnny Canuck]

Well better that than coq !

Well played!

[simmsy]

Mega can u put the list of Punters into the OP pls mate.

[Daz_Golfa]

Thanks ID, Daz Golfa here, I'm in, handicap 10..... let the games begin !!!

[simmsy]

I think that makes 16.
Draw will be up soon.

[idgolfguy]

Let's get ready to rumble!

[simmsy]

so the list is this Mega:

1. MegaWatty
2. Johnny Canuck
3. OMS
4. IDG
5. GN
6. Yoss
7. TourChoke

12. qbnchopper
13. Veeman
14. Nuffie
15. Bergsey
16. Daz golfa

I hope i didn't miss anyone out, our usual confusing WAnker thread. V4 has put himself down as a reserve if we need one.

Mega do your thing!

[hocko]

Not me - should be back to 11 or 12 by the end of Jan or Feb.

Are we ready to do the draw? Perhaps we can all get together and do a cockroach race for the 1st round groupings.
I should be out to about 11 by then too ID.

[simmsy]

are you on the list Hocko?

[idgolfguy]

I should be out to about 11 by then too ID.

I'll be able to say bandit! Without the pot calling the kettle...

[hocko]

are you on the list Hocko?
I don't think so, i'm just putting my two bobs worth in!


I'll be able to say bandit! Without the pot calling the kettle...
I have a red kettle.

[MegaWatty]

Wow!

Some big first round matches came out!!!

Will post shortly.

[MegaWatty]

The two halves of the draw seem very very skewed.

If everyone's happy with a totally random draw, then let me know.

From memory last year, the two finalists were put on either ends of the draw. Simmsy, can you check that please as that would make a big difference here.

[Yossarian]

Go simmsy! This year is your year!

[simmsy]

the two finalists are put at either end of the draw!

ideally 1&2 should not meet until final unless knocked out.

[MegaWatty]

OK. New draw on the way. Sorry Simmsy, you had a pleasant half of the draw!

[MegaWatty]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7570988/2011%20MP%20Final.jpg

Apologies for stuffing up the first one.

This is final!

[Yossarian]

I can't see it.

[MegaWatty]

Really?

What's it showing?

[Yossarian]

Red cross thing.

[MegaWatty]

Now?

[Yossarian]

All good! Go Yoss!

[hocko]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7570988/WA%20MP%20Draw%202011%20jpg.jpg

Is this the updated draw?

[MegaWatty]

NO!

Damn it!!!

[simmsy]

get your sh!t together man!

[simmsy]

im glad that ain't it - Nuffie first round would have cooked me for sure. Mega/Hocko can you remove that in case of protests?

[MegaWatty]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7570988/2011%20MP%20Final.jpg

OP updated as well.

Look right now?

[simmsy]

..

[hocko]

That looks better, Golfnut should take care of JC in the first round!

[simmsy]

Veeman - make sure you schedule your match for Hartfield, you'll win by forfeit!

[simmsy]

IF and i mean IF i can get past Bergsey then redemption is in order.

[dean0820]

just as well i picked up that shaft from adlo yesterday, after he saw the draw he may have decided it wasn't for sale after all :)
looking forward to participating for the first time gents.

[idgolfguy]

Daz where and when shall we play. Look to play in Feb or March.

[simmsy]

Bergsey - my peoples will talk to your peoples and we'll get it on!

[hocko]

Veeman - make sure you schedule your match for Hartfield, you'll win by forfeit!

Not playing any matches at Hartfield!
I think all matches should be on neutral turf.

[dean0820]

if only i could find some neutral turf. it all looks like enemy territory to me.

[qbnchopper]

im glad that ain't it - Nuffie first round would have cooked me for sure.

That fills me with confidence then - I'm toast !

[bergsey]

IF and i mean IF i can get past Bergsey then redemption is in order.

Nice one velvet sledgehammer.....

You would be happy to know that i have recently gone out to 19 :)

How about The Cut ?

[hocko]

Veeman, do you have any ideas on where to play?

[adlo]

Tough draw. Oh well, will definitely get a few comps in while I wait for dean to get an official cap. I need to be off 18 if I get through to round 2 and take on the champ!

[Golfnut]

Who drew this pile of cr@p ;)......if I don't get a golfing lesson in rnd 1, I'm certain to get one in rnd 2.......nah, all good. I look forward to the challenge and learning from these guys.

[hocko]

Easy pickings GN, round 1 will be a peice of cake for you.
Just make sure you play a course with a limited amount of par 3's.

[Veefore]

How about a tipping comp for round one finishes?

$5 in and the person who picks the most winners takes all. In the event of a tie split the winnings.

[MegaWatty]

Has good intentions Vee but there's still outstanding monies from last year and we still have no trophy.

[Johnny Canuck]

Tipping comp would be cool. I'd be in for that.

Golfnut, start telling the wife now that you'll have to play on a weekend at some point in the next few months.

[Johnny Canuck]

Mr. Negative. Suddenly concerned with a trophy because he won something. I owe Aldo $5 to put towards the trophy. Yoss is covering my other $5.

Who else owes.

[MegaWatty]

Homo.

I'm only in it for the merit bar.

In all fairness, these things start out with good intention and end up like Eclectic 2010.

[simmsy]

trophies while they sound nice are next to useless in comps like this. better off monies going to the victor and a merit bar for fist pumping exercise on this forum.

who is going to hold the monies for entry fee?

i would be in for tipping comps.

but you would have to sort something out re- h/c's one or two point swing in h/c is alot.

[Golfnut]

Tipping comp would be cool. I'd be in for that.

Golfnut, start telling the wife now that you'll have to play on a weekend at some point in the next few months.

Plenty of public holidays coming up mate....we'll work something oot.

[Pieface]

Looks like plenty of fun was had with the draw!

opefully I can put up a challenge along the way. What is that sandbagging whippersnapper off now?

[MegaWatty]

Stoopid draw!

[Yossarian]

18

[Pieface]

18

****. Bandit

[Shadesy]

Completely Missed this Thread!!!

If anyone pulls out, can I be First Alternate??

Cheers

[MegaWatty]

Yes you can!

Pressure now to get games played on time for round one lads!

[Pieface]

Got a round schedule MW?

[MegaWatty]

Got a round schedule MW?

It's above each round in the draw buddy.

[Pieface]

I am a muppet. Remedial reading classes here I come.

[Yossarian]

When do these matches have to be played by?

I think I'm off 19 actually.

[MegaWatty]

Read the last three posts Yoss!

[Yossarian]

;)

[Pieface]

Noice Troll!

[TourFit]

Mega in Rnd 1...WTF ???

Will my first round exit hoodoo continue? (That'd make it a hoodoo by Voodoo).

I think I'm screwed, I haven't played to my h'cap in about the last 6 rounds and not looking like I will either. May have to employ the idgg/hocko technique and get myself higher up the number scale. Have 4 rounds in single figures aboot to drop off in the next 4 rounds... Playin' MW off 15 sure looks like fun!!!

[veeman]

Veeman - make sure you schedule your match for Hartfield, you'll win by forfeit!

I am already think somewhere with lots of doglegs wannaroo, whaleback, rosehill, even Royal Embleton

[Nuffie]

I am already think somewhere with lots of doglegs wannaroo, whaleback, rosehill, even Royal Embleton

Wembley old is another option veeman. Or there's always dogleg city :)

qbnchopper, what is your handicap mate?

[Pieface]

Thought it would be fun to have a guess at the outcomes of the first round matches...

MegaWatty to take the W. TF won't like the pressure.
Deano to beat Adlo. Just a guess on Adlo being rusty.
Nuffie to beat qbn - Nuffie is just the little engine who could IMO.
ID to best Daz in a tight one
Pieface to dominate Yoss and also win the MP (Heck I have to talk myself up a little, no one else will! )
Bergsey vs Simmsy. 2011 won't be the year for OMS to get the monkey off his back unfortunately.
NFI for Hocko vs Veeman. I'll just randomly pick Vman on the basis of him getting a few shots (? )
GN vs JC - Sorry 'nut I'll have to go with JC. This guy just loves to win...a lot...and your 'nut cap won't help your cause.

There we are, likely to have just alienated half of the WA Ozgolf fraternity in a single post! :)

Depending on where they play the Hocko vs veeman match should be interesting. veeman has his bad spells but he has one of the best pennant records in our club. He is a matchplay machine.
Wins I think:
TF (needs to win eventually)
Deano
Nuffster
IDGG
Pieface/Yoss - haven't decided yet.
Simmsy
veeman
JC

What the...? Are you completely out of your mind?

Mega's handicap (& weight) are tumbling down faster than a $2 hookers' g-string...

My handicap (& weight) is ballooning out like, well, a balloon!

I'VE GOT NO CHANCE !!!! My game is nowhere at the moment.

[Yossarian]

MegaWatty, he beat me, I beat TF last year or the year before. MW wins 2 up. TF despite his positive thinking will play ok.
Deano. After the skins towelling and adlo's lack of match practise it could be deans day. However will the bunbury bandit, dean hopefully playing of scratch like he should be ;), fold to the other bunbury bandit? Who knows. dean 4 up.
Nuffie V QBN. If Qbn can handle the gossip he will go a long way towards winning. Qbn 1 up
Daz to defeat ID. The man can putt! Although ID has hybrids now. Daz 3 up.
Yoss to make PF his bitch. Squeal piggy!
Simmsy has been one of the form golfers lately, as long as his hip isn't playing up. Simmsy 2 up. If bergsey drinks a case the night before, bergsey 2 up.
Veeman is very solid. Hocko is a little less solid but plays some awesome shots. This will be a really good match IMO, Veeman wins on the sudden death hole.
GN vs JC , GN to cause a suprise upset, with a the ribbing he has been copping from JC he will be driving the ball a good 280! GN 1 up.

[simmsy]

I'm playing the berbenator at yokine and I play that course as bad as yoss does at picking up girls. I'm no chance of ending my streak.

[Yossarian]

Oh I didn't know that. You're screwed!

[idgolfguy]

I'm not playing Daz till I get to 12 or 13 - hopefully end of this month.

We'll probably try to choose a venue soon. I think Daz is off 10 which means, I will probably get caned. The upside is that whenever I play with Daz, I always play better.

[bergsey]

I'm averaging 6 shots over my hcp over the past 5 rounds. How is everyone else's form looking ?

[MegaWatty]

Average.

[Johnny Canuck]

I shot ever par last week if you count the first 3 and last 8 holes.

[Pieface]

I have no recent form. I have been battering my H'cap for 9 hole jaunts but they have been easy tracks. Haven't played anywhere decent since October at Joondy.

[Yossarian]

My last comp game is played to 12.

[Veefore]

Oh I didn't know that. You're screwed!


+1.

Looking for an early out Simmsy?

[MegaWatty]

My last comp game is played to 12.

What are you playing off homo?

[Yossarian]

19 I think.

[MegaWatty]

Have you joined, or are you going to waste this spot on Wednesday that IDG hates me for? ;)

[Yossarian]

I've joined. GL should be good to go by then.

[MegaWatty]

Good. What time we off? 8?

[Yossarian]

No idea. When are we off?

[idgolfguy]

Have you joined, or are you going to waste this spot on Wednesday that IDG hates me for? ;)
Yup, this was going to be my last weekday game for awhile. It is likely that I will be working from next Monday (fingers crossed).

Just rubbing it in, .MW

[MegaWatty]

I hate me too ID.

[idgolfguy]

No hate mate, playing Vines in the morning and Chequers in the afternoon. Will be hot for 36 holes. Hopefully get my hc to around 13 by the end of the day.

Happy that I got paperwork for a Monday start with the new company but it is subject to a background check that I have been waiting for a week now.

[MegaWatty]

Hey, contrats on the job mate. I bet that's a massive relief for you.

I'm playing The Vines early next month. Really looking forward to it.

[idgolfguy]

Let me know the day, might pop around for a drink if I can swing it. I will be based out of my home.

[MegaWatty]

Playing with Rick and other guys from his company. I'll let you know.

[Pieface]

My last comp game is played to 12.

Put another effort like that in tomorrow mate. I could use another stroke or two!

[Golfnut]

Thought it would be fun to have a guess at the outcomes of the first round matches...

MegaWatty to take the W. TF won't like the pressure.
Deano to beat Adlo. Just a guess on Adlo being rusty.

There we are, likely to have just alienated half of the WA Ozgolf fraternity in a single post! :)

PF.......you suck!......'nut cap', what nut cap ;)

[Pieface]

PF.......you suck!......'nut cap', what nut cap ;)

You playing JC off scratch? Definitely JC!! ;) :p

[Nuffie]

No hate mate, playing Vines in the morning and Chequers in the afternoon. Will be hot for 36 holes. Hopefully get my hc to around 13 by the end of the day.

Happy that I got paperwork for a Monday start with the new company but it is subject to a background check that I have been waiting for a week now.

Congrats on the new job offer ID. Put two good ones together today mate, you can do it.

Similar to JC, I played ok last week but not fantastic. Been shooting some handicap cards but no standout numbers.

With the car back on the road now, new house stuff settling down, good 3 month review in the new job (and also the CG1 blades coming back after 3 months in the TourFit House of Golf), it's time to get to work and tune in that swing.

[Johnny Canuck]

You playing JC off scratch? Definitely JC!! ;) :p

Excellent. No nutcap, no problem. I love getting 5 shots.

[idgolfguy]

Congrats on the new job offer ID. Put two good ones together today mate, you can do it.


Played rubbish. Too many wipes and single pointers.

I'm supposed to turn up on my Monday at 9am in business casual to meet my manager ... he is in Sydney.

Don't know how that is going to happen. My orientation is the 7-9 March in Sydney. Going to try to get there a day or two earlier (Sat/Sun) to play. Have reciprocals with Concord and Castle Hill. Perhaps try to get to Long Reef on Sunday.

Concord and Long Reef are truly worth a look. But not sure if you'll have time.

[hocko]

Mega, can you update the draw in the OP with winners and losers of the first round thus far?

[Yossarian]

I can do it for you. Yossarian. 2 Up.

[Yossarian]

I'm pretty sure that is it?

[Pieface]

10991

[bergsey]

Simmsy and i are pencilled in for next Friday, which will result in Bergsey v Yoss in round 2.

No progress in the other brackets ?

[qbnchopper]

The Nuffster is due to kick my arse on Sunday and the Hocko / Veeman match are our companions ... as long as hocko doesn't bring those ****en yellow nads of his, we should have a good time :-)

[adlo]

Dean is still waiting on handicap, and is heading away to Japan. We might need an extension.

[Yossarian]

Two sweetest words in the English language. De Fault.

[Johnny Canuck]

Golfnut asked his missus. We'll be playing our match in Sept 2012.

[MegaWatty]

Simmsy and i are pencilled in for next Friday, which will result in Bergsey v Yoss in round 2.

No progress in the other brackets ?

i get a one shot adv seeing as we are playing your home track don't i?

dont like my chances at all of advancing in MP11 maybe 2012 will be the year for me.

[bergsey]

no making yourself the underdog simmsy !

[simmsy]

I called dibs.

[Johnny Canuck]

Simmsy, this is by far the longest that you've ever lasted in a match play.

[TourFit]

:smt046

Oh hang on...I can't talk, can I?

[Johnny Canuck]

At least you've never been eliminated in the year prior.

[Golfnut]

Golfnut asked his missus. We'll be playing our match in Sept 2012.

Thought you were asking for me!

[rubin]

Out of curiosity, when you boys are playing your matchplay, do you play the mind games like some of the pro's do?

I was reading a book a little while ago, and it was saying that many of them will play one club shorter, so they can be first on the green and try and make their opponent hit it inside their ball, putting that little bit more pressure on them and stuff like that.

[simmsy]

Simmsy, this is by far the longest that you've ever lasted in a match play.

All part of the stategy jc, I m def not the 1st knocked oot in 2011, so this year is already a success on the last two years.

[Pieface]

i get a one shot adv seeing as we are playing your home track don't i?

dont like my chances at all of advancing in MP11 maybe 2012 will be the year for me.

If Bergsey plays like he did last friday Simmsy you are in strife. If you are lucky he will show you his wang :)

We are not at that level. Most of our guys are just happy to hit the green. Yoss is really the only guy that's concerned with sliding inside his opponent.

That strategy is also flawed in a game involving handicaps.

[Shadesy]

Dean is still waiting on handicap, and is heading away to Japan. We might need an extension.

I can take his spot and play ya Ads, if OK by firstly DEANO and then the Match Comittee??

[bergsey]

Got a call from Simmsy today and due to personal circumstances won't be able to play our match anytime soon.

Mega, i see the options as either substitute someone else in or proceed to round 2. I'm happy either way.

Cheers

[rubin]

im happy to join in as well boys.

Easy pass for bergsey really.....

[idgolfguy]

I'm still waiting on Daz to come up with venue and time.

[Johnny Canuck]

Golfnut and I will play our match on the Secret Harbour day. A little late than the original plan, but GN has too many Sunday brunches that he can't miss.

[bergsey]

im happy to join in as well boys.

Easy pass for bergsey really.....

You are playing at Mt Lawley on Sunday right? if so then perhaps you can sub in for Simmsy and we can play the game on Sunday?

[idgolfguy]

I'm still waiting on Daz to come up with venue and time.

Daz just called me and we're playing The Vines - Ellenbrook, 27th March at 8.20am. 2 slots free if anyone is interested in teeing off with us. See the 1st tee thread.

[rubin]

You are playing at Mt Lawley on Sunday right? if so then perhaps you can sub in for Simmsy and we can play the game on Sunday?

i am indeed.

if mega allows it

[MegaWatty]

I don't care. As long as we have a winner by December 31, then all's cool. Although, didn't someone nominate as a reserve earlier?

I just started the thread. The Don has his finger quietly on the pulse. ;)

[bergsey]

I think Shadesy registered some interest. Would be convenient for me to take on Rubin given we are already playing on Sunday and getting a time agreed is most of the battle !

If no permission is required then i'm going to make an executive decision

Bergsey v Rubin this Sunday ! side benefit is that we will be able to zone out Nuff and TF ! :)

[rubin]

if bergseys good for it, im happy to jump in. That way there is one more match down.

I think shadesy was looking to sub in for Deano

Unless the don is on prior to sunday and 'dis-allows' it, we'll go with that.

[bergsey]

f**k the Don !

[MegaWatty]

f**k the Don !

Enjoy the horses head tonight mate. :)

[rubin]

ok... so we need a replacement for bergsey as well........... he wont be able to make the sunday!

[MegaWatty]

:)

[rubin]

:horse:

[MegaWatty]

Nice work.

[adlo]

Mega can have the final say here boys. Cheers.

[MegaWatty]

**** me.

Rubin. If you buy my X20 Tours, then you're in.

[rubin]

if ur willing to sell them for $10, then no worries mate.

Thats about all i have left until i get paid!

[MegaWatty]

Oh trust me. I can wait 'til pay day!

[Yossarian]

You should smelt them down and make a trophy out of them.

[MegaWatty]

I will if WA OzGolfers chip in the $200 I demand for them and then some for the smelting and trophy building...

[rubin]

In all honesty mate, what r u asking for them, and what shafts?

I may know someone who can take them off your hands.

[Johnny Canuck]

Cliff Manley?

[rubin]

nah, this bloke can actually play.

[Shadesy]

Happy for Rubin to play Bergsey although I maintain that I still register my Interest.

I am happy to take Deano's spot if he cant make it!

[adlo]

PM deano Shadesy. Up to him really. If he can play with a legitimate handicap soonish then all is well. If not, we'll talk turkey.

[TourFit]

Hang on...is Bergsey IN or OUT for Sunday at Mt Lawley...?

[rubin]

Hang on...is Bergsey IN or OUT for Sunday at Mt Lawley...?

its undecided.....

We have yet to hear from him since the f*** the don incident.

he may be with the fishes.......[-o<

[bergsey]

Hang on...is Bergsey IN or OUT for Sunday at Mt Lawley...?

What the?... confirmed i was in on Monday night.... (that's what she said..)

Is Rubin trying to play mind games with me ?

[TourFit]

OK...must've been a cross contamination of posts.

I think you were referring to Rubin replacing simmsy for the MP... and ergo replacing simmsy at Yokine Friday to play the MP...then NOT being able to make Friday as a game...

My head hurts!

[Yossarian]

Go Yoss!

[Shadesy]

Rightio ADLO! Been given the ok from Deano! You can now take the easy win against the WAnker newbie! I have the element of the unknown though!!!

[adlo]

No worries Shadesy. Don't get too excited. I am a roughie in this years MP, a game full of cobwebs will do that to you.

[Yossarian]

You both have similar handicaps. Will be interesting who comes out on top!

[Johnny Canuck]

Both have big hair. Conditioner is the winner here.

[Yossarian]

haha!!!

[rubin]

Both have big hair. Conditioner is the winner here.

on that you'd have to go the don for the W then!

[Johnny Canuck]

Exactly. 1/2 bottle to 1/5 of a bottle.

[Shadesy]

Good from you Canuck, butI've been shorn recently, took the girl 40 minutes! So based on that, ADLO for the win obviously! :-)

[Johnny Canuck]

Sounds like Aldo's head and shoulders above him.

Can I get a boom tish?

Love your work.

Terrible!

[Nuffie]

Who has a clip from that Adam Sandler movie, think it was off Billy Maddison:

"Shampoo is better, I go on first and clean da hair"
"Conditioner is better, I leave da hair silky and smooth"
"Ohh really fool, ohh really, (bash) (bash) (bash)!"

[adlo]

OK, Shadesy and I are needing a 2 day extension please Megawatty. Locked in for April 2. Course of choice is Binningup.

[MegaWatty]

Fit and I need a 3 month extension, so yours is cool.

Binningup Golf Course, April 2.

I have suggested in making it a scratch MP but I am not sure what Adlo is off. I play to anything under 17 this weekend (KB, Black Tees, Stroke) and I drop to 13 for the first time in my short golfing career.

[rubin]

KB, Black Tees, Stroke

Thats going to be a tough day on saturday. Monthly medal of the blacks.......

[TourFit]

You gonna post the result of yesterday rubin...in here, so MW can find it?

simmsy may have been replaced in the MP...but the early exit result remained UNCHANGED!

Bourbonator 3 & 1. Hansel made a remarkable comeback down the stretch.

[Shadesy]

ACR 76 Rubin so great chance to get cut. If you shoot anything under 98 mate, you will get cut!

I'm hanging on 13.5 but the next 6 rounds are not in my top 10. So anything under 94 for me Saturday will see me drop. But that if I can keep it in the park for large portions of the round.

[bergsey]

In WAnker tradition, too many threads to keep track of !

Final result was Bergsey 3 & 1

I think in the end it was equal parts meltdown from Rubin, part comeback from Bergsey

The 6 foot putt to win the hole and halve the match on 14 was pivotal though

[TourFit]

Rubin losing a ball on 16, then taking 4 shots to get past your drive on 17 was equally pivotal. It meant little pressure was on you toward the end & let you off the hook.

[Pieface]

Well done Bergsey. I gave you the comeback formula at WAGC the other week but you improved the recipe for the win.

Tough luck Rubin. Sounds like you guys had fun out there.

[TourFit]

We ALL chopped it all day actually.

Plus we had to listen to Nuffie explain the swing changes he now has to make to his new swing changes, to compensate for the new shafts and weights of his clubs...

[rubin]

The 16 was a killer IMO. I thought that even though it was right, it would be a nice little knock onto the green and i could keep it in play. 17 I just tried to kill the ball of the tee meaning i bounced the driver into the ball and a dirty duck hook into the left crap.

Well played to Bergsey though.

[Nuffie]

Well played yesterday Bergsey, good effort to hold the nerve for the last few holes. One would hardly tell that the matchplay thing is new to you. Thanks to Tourfit for inviting us onto a course that truly feels a treat to play.

Unlucky Rubin, but chin up mate and stick at it. I agree with what Fit suggested yesterday - if some X100 shafts go into your clubs I reckon you will be hitting it a lot flatter and straighter. You are certainly strong enough to play X-stiff shafts (unlike my pint-sized whippet self) and I dont think your swing is too bad really (besides the slight overswing), it just might seem worse by your shafts loading and flexing a lot at impact - exaggerating the outcome of the poorer shots. As you get the ball going further and straighter again, your confidence will grow and the rest of the game will come back. It wont need lessons mate, you've been off low numbers before. Its a mind game, you know you can do it.

As for me (and I'm going to lay off this topic now, as you guys are prob sick of hearing about it on here, and I'm just as sick of talking about it to be honest) - this will be the last time my clubs change for ages (and I really mean it this time).

It was a struggle at first to get the hang of the new heads/shafts and was getting them heavy during the round. BUT after just moving the ball position an inch further back on the range yesterday after the game, the irons really started coming out nice. This will be the focus of the next few weeks, getting this right.

No swing change Fit, just needed to catch that ball a little earlier on the downswing. Chunkier heads and slightly bigger cavities in the irons and wedges (than the old irons, wedges were blades), will launch higher and bottom out earlier. This was happening with full shots, even chipping with the wedges. But I was starting to see improvements after the game, with a bit of 'innovative' thinking. I am onto this and need to keep on it...

The Scotty Newport has also been CPR'd back to life - thanks to TourFit adding weight to the head. It felt great yesterday, but there is work to be done on the other aspects - getting consistency back in the chipping and the iron play. Staying positive is the key and this will come 8-).

[rubin]

Cheers nuff...... I managed to read the whole post as well!

I know i'm doing something wrong though. Today is the first time in my life I have woken up stiff and sore from golf the previous day. I think it would have to be down to the over-rotation. I didn't know i was going so far on the backswing!

[Nuffie]

Least someone appreciates my comments (thanks Rubin). Nuffie never minds lending someone a hand - AND they can then choose to either take my advice or leave it.

Just work on getting that club to the horizontal or just before mate, it's all the backswing you'll ever need and ur a strong enough lad. I most often than not, dont get all the way to the top - and lots of players don't, because the truth is they dont need to.

I played with a 3/4 swing until I was about 15 yrs old, when I was tall enough to learn how to hit a driver properly. What's more important than the length of your backswing...? It's getting everything into the right position at impact (something I am not doing quite so well atm).

Yeah, we can play off scratch. I'm off 14.1, won't change before the 2nd.

Looking forward to this.

This will be a good dule indeed. Let us know how good the course is looking Adlo. It will be two weeks before our champs and can't wait to finally play Binningup.


Yep, but no more of that!

Thats right, +1!:roll:

[adlo]

I'm confused.

Binningup is looking great at the moment. Greens not the prettiest to look at, but they are rolling great.

[hocko]

What shafts are you running now nuff?

I'm confused.

Which bit?

[adlo]

Which bit?


Yep, but no more of that!

This bit.

[TourFit]

What shafts are you running now nuff?

Black Nickel KBS 'S' flex...at 3/8" shorter than standard (5 iron is 37 3/8"). D1 in long / mid irons to D2 in the shorter irons. 1* flat (plus being a little flatter due to under length).
