View Full Version : The new 2011 WA Matchpaly Final Thread - JC vs MW

13th December 2011, 09:55 PM
Due to the inability of Veeman and TourFit to even talk to each other in the thread, let alone arrange a game, it has been decided that the only fair thing to do is revert back to last years finalists to have another dash at it this year.

Next Friday. Hartfield. 2:30.

Who wants to watch?

1. JC
2. MW

Can we make it 245? I wouldn't mind a little warm up as I am in a meeting until 2. If we say 2:30, you'll be there for 2:45. So let's keep it at 2:30.

It's hard to play the final without the finalists.

**** just do it.

It's like watching u asking a girl to kiss u when u were 12...I mean 17.

Just you worry about things concerning you...Veeman & I are grown ups and are quite capable of getting a game going by ourselves.

BTW, I didn't have to ask girls for a kiss when I was 17!

Rubin just hit a bomb with an old pinnacle. I'm struggling with putter.

I were so good with putter yesty Yoss. What happened?

16th December 2011, 06:23 PM
we are definately going to run out of light here. I didn't know it was possible for JC to take even longer lining up a putt

Johnny Canuck

All square still. Considering a putt off challenge, but its a bit hard to see

Johnny Canuck

Next week. Same Bat time. Same Bat Channel. If we can do this twice in 8 days, it really says something about Chumpfit's organizational skills.

Everyone is more interested in the Yoss/Lubin stick battle.

rubin
16th December 2011, 11:03 PM
Me 4&3

Johnny Canuck
16th December 2011, 11:03 PM
Rubon surprised 4&3. It wasn't so much he Played great, it relates more to the fact that Yoss could be the worst putter ever.

Pieface
16th December 2011, 11:06 PM
Jeebus Rubin...too many underbelly mega-sessions?

Yoss isn't fit to clean balls.

rubin
16th December 2011, 11:07 PM

Dirty Grannies after the round,once again? Hopefully the puppies will be there again.

Dirty Grannies taste even better after that many holes!

Johnny Canuck
17th December 2011, 12:57 AM
You would hope Yoss picked up something with the putting display you put on today.

Yossarian
17th December 2011, 01:19 AM
I did, i really learnt a lot from everyones approach to putting.

simmsy
17th December 2011, 01:33 AM
What's 3 things you'll put into practice?

Was there some good shootin in the match today Yoss?

Yossarian
17th December 2011, 10:38 AM
Simmsy I learnt.

1. That even a chopper will put better with a pimped putter.
2. I need some kind of blade putter.
3. You are meant to try and get it into the cup, not halfway.

I shot 120 off the stick, if i'd forced Rubin to play to handicap I could have been a chance.

rubin
17th December 2011, 10:54 AM
It helps that i hit fairways this time too.

Yossarian
17th December 2011, 10:56 AM
Lets not get carried away.

Johnny Canuck
17th December 2011, 11:34 AM
Opposite fairways count too.

Pieface
17th December 2011, 01:16 PM
How many putts in total Yoss?

Yossarian
17th December 2011, 01:45 PM
49 I think.

Pieface
17th December 2011, 01:51 PM
Serious?

Ouch!

MegaWatty
17th December 2011, 02:42 PM
It was painful to watch! Funnily enough, that included a 1 putt on the temp green. Go figure.

TourFit
17th December 2011, 08:01 PM
Hey Mega...what's with the Nuun love?

Johnny Canuck
17th December 2011, 08:02 PM
Ask simmsy, he brainwashed us all.

You didn't!

Ouch!

51, shoot 120 odd. Probably not too good.

MegaWatty
19th December 2011, 01:31 PM
So. It seems that this thread got its desired result.

FWIW, there was never a game played. JC and I chewed the fat and had 9 holes together. Rubin and Yoss never played. And as if we could ever justify having a final between last years finalists.

Hard to believe that people didn't see through this to the humorous side. I guess an honour bar just means too much to some people.

Lighten up everyone. Seriously!

idgolfguy
19th December 2011, 01:46 PM
Its just Yoss' putting stats seemed to reinforce the reality. Then again, Rubin's putting performance seemed to indicate otherwise.

MegaWatty
19th December 2011, 01:47 PM

We had to make it a little believable!

idgolfguy

rubin

hard to believe I know, but my putting has improved greatly. now 4 rounds without a 3 stab (granted, the most recent round involved a number of wipes - but still......)

edit: and I still would have beaten yoss. ;)

idgolfguy
19th December 2011, 02:00 PM
Good to see the puttingis improving. I still have the odd 3-Jack which is still frustrating.

I've actually found that the ID special "use the force" is helping. Check the line, and make sure of it before stepping up to hte ball, and hitting it. Not standing over it forever going through the 300 other ways the ball could go. Just trusting that what you saw first was right.

You really think I didn't see it...ask the two Vee's or idgg, they'll tell you that I KNEW you guys were just kidding around.

You really think that I wasn't just having a little fun in return?

BTW, if an honour bar meant so much to me, I'd be a fumbling wreck by now...having NEVER even gotten close before this. I'm not on this forum for honour bars...never have been, never will be.

That wasn't directed at you specifically, TourFit.

idgolfguy

Now trying to 'use the force' with other clubs with varying degrees of success. Thinking about alignment, getting it wrong and trying to swing against it is what generally causes my bad scores.

Hallucinogens no doubt play a large part in the tantric, zen part.

The Jedi stuff is some serious shit though! What do you use the Jedi mind trick for...?

idgolfguy
19th December 2011, 03:56 PM
I don't actually active work out break before putting. I try to take the ball path as a whole and then let my passive mind take over. Think Tim Galwey, The Art of Tennis.

Didn't he do a golf book as well? I'm sure I had one by him years ago. He paid particular emphasis to the way people swing their 3 wood so much more fluidly and purposefully than they swing their drivers etc.

My favourite book on the mental side of golf was Zen Golf. Just the "anyways" which a few would have heard me talk about before two 3 shots off my handicap in 2 months at a time when I was stagnant and had played off the same handicap for 3 years.

We did have a good laugh about it.

I can understand the point of it though and if TF and veeman hadn't already had their match booked I'm sure it would have spurred them into action.

idgolfguy
19th December 2011, 04:17 PM
He did write a book on golf. The concepts the same. The guys who have seen me putt in the past know how brittle my confidence was. The new approach takes away the time investment which removes the intense analysis I use to apply.

The downside is I probably don't make as many birdies as I should. That is still in development and will work that out eventually.

Nuffie
19th December 2011, 11:09 PM
So all the talk and ramp up about this mega/JC match was all to get Veeman's/TourFit's butts in2 gear and seal the deal b4 the fat man in the big red suit comes down the chimney... Nice :)

MegaWatty
19th December 2011, 11:11 PM
Bingo!

We did, however, discover that the 9064 with RIP Beta is an amazing combo on our little 9 hole romp!

Nuffie
19th December 2011, 11:16 PM
So you've found the right shaft for that head now. What about that other 12 degree thing you had a few months ago with a stiff low launch shaft u reckoned u were bombing?

MegaWatty
19th December 2011, 11:23 PM
I have a Geek 12* with a high torque shaft. not a bomber but a great stick.

I've had success with several shafts in that head now. The Gamma, the Beta and the SAGA.

Nuffie
19th December 2011, 11:36 PM
Before I set my alarm and call it a night, I was thinking how important it is to drive well at Hartfield - to carry the doglegs properly as a low capper (if that's the choice taken from the tee). At places like The Vines there are some doglegs but not forced boonge carrying ones. I can think of possibly 5 or 6 holes at Hartfield where if a low marker can't take advantage of getting a teeshot around a corner (which may involve a full carry) they could be giving as many as 4 shots back to the field.
