View Full Version : Qld: 2013 NQ Matchplay



Courty
27th October 2012, 04:12 PM
Scoring is 20 points for a win, 10 for a squared match, with a point per hole bonus (eg 2&1 is 3 points, 5&3 8 points).

Everyone plays everyone once. If we can agree on a suitable day, we'll get together roughly once a month to play as a group. Some have expressed that it may be difficult to get through so many matches in the required timeframe. If it looks to be an issue, Fireball matches could be a suitable solution.

Proposed courses:
Mossman GC
Sea Temple CC
Paradise Palms
Half Moon Bay GC
Cairns GC
Gordonvale GC
Mareeba GC
Atherton GC
Millaa Millaa GC

Proposed match dates:
November 18th
December 16th (Cairns GC)
January 13th (venue tbd)
February 10th (venue tbd)
March 10th (venue tbd)
April 14th (venue tbd)
May 12th (venue tbd)
June 9th (venue tbd)
July 7th (venue tbd)

The dates may be altered if it means we’ll get more players on the day.

The choice of venues for each round is open for discussion and should be based on course availability (corporate days etc.), course condition & weather forecast. Obviously the coastal courses should be avoided from December to March. If circumstances dictate it, I have no issues with playing some courses twice (eg. Mareeba) and skipping others (eg. Half Moon Ghey GC) due to weather/ course conditions.

I think there should be points awarded for almost winning.

There is... for that you get 00 pts. ;)

Excellent.

Also points should be deducted for being over 6 foot.

Courty

Ok. 0.000 reduction for being over 6'. Anything else I can assist with?

I think el bobbo is worried about the likely possibility he will play all 9 matches and end with zero points....

No I would put money on it that it will be me.:)

No way, Julie. Mike's your bunny.

Ned
28th October 2012, 10:23 AM
The one time I am sensible and it all goes downhill 😃.
I still like my idea anyway. Guy could only just loose by a little each week (sorry Mike there's that word again) and have no points to show at the end. Every else is in the hundreds.
Oh tell me to shut up.

Shudup!

Guys, I have a suggestion; not original coz I know most of it was posted here before however I've added to it & posted for comment. Here goes;

FNQ match play days to be organised monthly with dates & locations published in advance. If you can't make it for some reason, you will be given a stipulated amount of time to get the match played (maybe two weeks). Failure to get the match played will result in a forfeit.

This way, not only does the match play get done but, we get a once a month FNQ Ozgolf get together! Days could be shared around golf courses various so we get to see what's around the area too.

I await the howls of protest eagerly:-)

mike
1st November 2012, 09:05 PM
Sounds good. Don't know about the forfeit though. I do like the idea of a monthly get together. I wanna play you at HMB.

But, we play off scratch :-)

Bump. I want to hear some more feedback on the monthly matchplay rounds ideas. We could play the regions courses on a rota...

How about matches get decided on the day by toss of balls.
That way, nice surprise and no burgalring of handicaps......yep, that's correct.... lookin' right at you Bigus Birdus.

If you want to run the Matchplay, you can score it however you want. If not, get over it.

6th November 2012, 04:18 PM
I like the point system. Keep it. Am I winning?

haysey
6th November 2012, 04:25 PM
DC is winning

Johnny Canuck
6th November 2012, 04:33 PM
When DC is involved, winning is finishing second.

haysey
6th November 2012, 05:05 PM
Still think get rid of points system.
Just list who won each match, at the end if its a tie, then it goes on countback between the tied people eg Courty and Mike level at the end on wins, then it goes back to who won their match (Courty) during the season. Courty goes thru.
Top 4 into finals anyway, so it should work out really good.
Hate points.
All in favour say "fk Courty".

I'm sensing a breakaway match play competition. Superleague anyone?

haysey
6th November 2012, 05:07 PM

Can't catch a break in FNQ. One way or another we're always playing for second place.

It'd be rude of me to pull out of that commitment at this late stage.

mike
6th November 2012, 08:18 PM
As this Sunday is the 2nd Sunday of the month, can we start on the third Sunday this month and make it the second Sunday from next month onwards? I'm no chance this Sunday.

This is getting messy. My work here is done.

Edit: in grades. 3/4 caps and all played on neutral courses thanks.

7th November 2012, 05:05 AM
So, another year without NK means another year with a giant * beside it on the trophy. However that means another year when four or five people are genuine contenders.


Here’s the market for the rest of you NQankers. Get on it.

$1.20 - DC68. Always the bookies favorite. He’ll win this too.

$5.00 - Dcanto. Overhandicapped, underhaired and an accountant. Suspect short game stops him being up there beside DC. That and being toweled up in the last two finals. Should figure again.

$7.50 - haysey. Ozgolfs answer to an octopus falling out of a tree. If he’s timing it well, you’re in trouble. If he’s not, fore left. Overhandicapped according to my sources so he’s in with a chance.

$7.50 - Stuartmac75. First year in the competition. Be careful if you get a lead. He’s a prison guard so you know he likes to come from behind. Plays more golf than haysey.

$9.00 - Tomson. Flusher, but the imminent birth of two baby silverbacks may see these odds wound out quicker than Solarman gets out of his nighty when Courty comes a calling.

$10.00 - Courty. Needs to get rid of those three million swing thoughts swirling around his head. Hasn't been the same since Lefty stitched him up for best dressed at the champs. Don’t waste your money.

$12.00 - Outcast. Heaven help you if Captain Pugwash can hit four iron all day. Otherwise little to fear. Bring earplugs!!!

$15.00 - Julie. Tough to beat on her home track. Take Courty with you, she’ll be so distracted by the outfit she’ll have no chance.

$20.00 - Toots2711. Tall, very tall. Makes haysey look like a midget. Hamstrung by using a putter that looks like a VW engine block.

$25.00 - Mike. Not Mike in 2009, 2010, 2011 or 2012. Won’t be Mike in 2013 either.

$500 - Solarman. Bahahahahahahahahahaha. ($1.50 for the Naga award. $5.00 to not score a point.)

7th November 2012, 05:34 AM

I suspect the one where you drove the green. Lucky shot, Mike. It'll never happen again.

mike
7th November 2012, 03:22 PM
No no no no no. The hole where he lost his tee shot, yanked his third long and left and then hit that stupidly impossible shot over the trees to a coupla feet from the pin. I was thinking I'd go one up with three to play. Allof a sudden I'm one down instead.

haysey
7th November 2012, 03:42 PM
Oh yeah. That one we both said was impossible. Massively lucky.
