An unfortunate quirk of the draw sees the match which would have most likely be the final take place in the first round.

Venue is to be settled on but the date will be Sunday the 6th of Februay.

As long as the venue isn't ridiculously south, I'm pretty happy to play this anywhere. Ideas?

Does Rusty still play golf?

^not much - rain, camping trips & doing other things, and other things getting in the way. been doing a lot of hot yoga lately.

Shaun and i have pm'd a bit about date and venue - the date's now locked in.

folks Nudgee North is having an Opening Day 4Ball Multi Cards. i've got no idea what that is. folks, would it work there?

other alternative was Oxley. they've got a single stab.

Shaun, we could Wantima too, if you've played it before. it's a bit closer to you. proshop advised no timesheet out yet but they'll have an open single stab or stroke, $20.

Wantima sounds good. Played it once before. I'm pretty flexible on times.

I might come along and play too (when you decide the date)

Haven't played Wantima in a while.

You might get lost in the rough, according to some reports.

I must have missed the thread. Has SMS left the golf industry and become a parking inspector?

Went down this morning to hit balls on the range, course is looking pretty good.

I'll tell you more after tomorrows round.

Excellent. You get paid for your normal life. Marvelous effort that.

ah, let's make it Wantima then, unless ddasey gives us some good reasons otherwise. i've played there 2 or 3 times, so it's pretty even for both of us.

comp times will be around midday once the sheet comes out.

Played today, course nice & dry.

I'll check my roster Monday to see if I can make this. At this stage I am driving back from Rocky on Saturday.

booking made for a 4 at 12:14pm off the first. confirmed single stab.

2. Rusty

now that this thread is the actual game, should it be moved up a level to be in the straight 1st Tee section, rather than in the matchplay subsection (where the sledging and organising takes place)? ah i guess those that might be interested may look in the matchplay subsection anyway.

You start a separate thread for the actual round that involves other people.

Would love to, but don't think my roster will be kind.

Open it up to someone who will be a definate starter. Thanks anyway, next time.

Thanks Scoop. I was keeping it subtle until the Super Trooper and the dwarf committed either way.

Pumped for this. Haven't hit a ball all week. I'm claiming serious underdog status.

Well done Rusty for a well deserved 2 up victory. About 10 minutes before we hit off it pissed down from a great height and a delay of 30 minutes followed. What followed after that was a stinking hot sweatbowl.

Rusty got 11 head start. All of the even numbered holes plus 7 and 11. Summary as follows...

1. SMS bogey. Rusty double. SMS 1 up.
2. SMS bogey. Rusty plenty. SMS 2 up.
3. SMS double. Rusty bogey. SMS 1 up. This is a quality match so far. :shock:
4. SMS par. Rusty par. All square.
5. SMS par. Rusty double. SMS 1 up.
6. SMS double. Rusty bogey. All square.
7. SMS par. Rusty plenty. SMS 1 up.
8. SMS par. Rusty par. All square.
9. SMS par. Rusty bogey. SMS 1 up. Thank Christ the front nine is over. Shaping up to be the worst matchplay ever.
10. SMS par. Rusty par (good sand save). All square.
11. SMS par. Rusty shit loads. SMS 1 up.
12. SMS par. Rusty par. All square.
13. SMS birdie. Rusty birdie. All square. First halved hole of the match. :lol:
14. SMS par. Rusty par. Rusty 1 up.
15. SMS par. Rusty par. Rusty 1 up.
16. SMS par. Rusty par. Rusty 2 up. SMS in deep shit.
17. SMS birdie. Rusty bogey. Rusty 1 up.
18. SMS bogey. Rusty bogey. Rusty wins 2 up.

The moral to the story: if you are going to hit a heap of shitty shots in matchplay, hit them all on a couple of holes.

All in all pretty decent. Probably wasn't the best day to judge given the greens weren't mowed and there was a heavy storm.

After the storm there was a shit load of water on the 2nd and 3rd. At the path on the 3rd the water was halfway up our shins. So around the green on the 2nd and off the tee on the 3rd we played in bare feet.

thanks for the game Shaun. well played and it could've gone either way. as Shaun said "play all the bad shots on 1 or 2 holes" and i had an absolute shocker on both 2 and 11 - heeled tee shots, mullygrubbers. it was quite painful.

yes, that's the first time i've ever played barefoot around and on a green, and then off the next tee. some older fellas in a cart a bit further away (on 13 tee) were giving us some concentrated looks as we were teeing off on 3 in bare feet. as Shaun said at the time "it's just like barefoot bowls".

a highlight was us both birdieing the par 5 13th, to halve the whole.

pretty happy with the round, given all the water on the course and not hitting much at the mo.

highlights for me was watching sms hit in from 75 - 100m on a few holes and nailing them. quality stuff.
