WA Champs - Friday Golf (North vs South)

[hocko]

OK OP Updated with the groupings.

We need Teams colours shortly.

Southerners will be in a sea of purple thanks.

[Ashes]

Kiwi ****s

Nothing to do with Kiwis. Black just suits my complexion ;)

[Johnny Canuck]

Southerners will be in a sea of purple thanks. Purple. Nice. Can do.

[simmsy]

Obviously the south will be wearing pink.


You obviously wouldn't want to be wearing horizontal stripes.

[sms316]

You obviously wouldn't want to be wearing horizontal stripes. Not ones that are expected to be parallel anyway.

[simmsy]

Hehe

[hocko]

Southerners are wearing purple, for those who disagree, buy a purple shirt.
Or PM me.

[sms316]

Southerners are wearing purple, for those who disagree, buy a purple shirt.Or PM me. I can't wait to see if Hogges has purple shoes.

[Jeffo1123]

Southerners will be in a sea of purple thanks. Purple... Great. Need a new shirt now!Hahaha Signy Hamilton. You idiot! Haha

[TourFit]

Pink and purple could be a classy combo...you just KNOW that Lefty has a pair of pink shoes!!!

[Shortylook]

Are we seriously wearing purple or is this a piss take, I case I do wear the purple people eater shirt

[Shadesy]

I'll be wearing a variation of purple.. Blue

[Yossarian]

I'll wear red. Red and blue make purple?

[simmsy]

Is that a pick up line to heaf?

[LeftyHoges]

I can't wait to see if Hogges has purple shoes.

You know I do. We all know I do.

[TourFit]

Are we seriously wearing purple or is this a piss take, I case I do wear the purple people eater shirt

The Vikings?

[Shortylook]

The Vikings?
No mate, I've got a purpleish slingo one and a purple striped shirt I can wear,I just didn't want to be the only south of the river member out of sync colour wise. I never can tell if you fellas are for real or just talking crap, In a nice way

[Shadesy]

No mate,I just didn't want to be the only south of the river member out of sync colour wise. I never can tell if you fellas are for real or just talking crap, In a p nice way

I don't know half the time.

[Johnny Canuck]

No mate, I've got a purpleish slingo one and a purple striped shirt I can wear,I just didn't want to be the only south of the river member out of sync colour wise. I never can tell if you fellas are for real or just talking crap, In a nice way Tourfit dressed in purple once and random kids started asking him for cheeseburgers.

[Shadesy]

Tourfit dressed in purple once and random kids started asking him for cheeseburgers.

Golden.

Fortunately for the Fit, the kids didn't want to eat them after they'd been on the floor.

This is serious

[Johnny Canuck]

And stop calling me Shirley.

[LeftyHoges]

And stop calling me Shirley.

All right, Striker, you listen, and listen close. Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle; it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

[Johnny Canuck]

Awesome!

[hocko]

What do you make of this?

[LeftyHoges]

What do you make of this?

Well I can make a hat, a broach! I can make a pterodactyl!

[Johnny Canuck]

Too slow!The question was for Johnny!

[Shortylook]

This is serious

Ok

[Yossarian]

Just get someone else to dress in red/blue shorty to make the purple combo. I am not buying a new shirt.

[Shortylook]

Just get someone else to dress in red/blue shorty to make the purple combo. I am not buying a new shirt.

Nice

[simmsy]

Salvo's?

[Mububban]

I hardly ever buy new clothes. If something is required give me advance notice to hit the op shops :)

[Jackson]

Has the Norths colour been chosen yet?

[simmsy]

yep, nuffie has chosen -

[sms316]

We will just wear whatever the hell we want.

[hocko]

We will just wear whatever the hell we want.

The Southerners seem to be too.

[Jackson]

What happens with Yoss out?
Do I play anyone, or just take the win?

Also will we be playing off the blues?

[simmsy]

Black and Yoss ain't out yet baby

[LeftyHoges]

Black and Yoss ain't out yet baby

If Yoss is really out I'll play right handed.

[simmsy]

U r anyway. It was condition of entry.

With ur LH clubs by the way.

[Mububban]

Off the blacks slope ratings (113 "normal", 155 being the maximum rating):


The Cu*t - 140
Mandurah CC - 135
Secret Harbour - 138
Meadow Springs - 131


Lucky Golfbox and Drummond are both having sales this weekend, might go buy another 6 dozen balls :mrgreen:

[Jackson]

I'm guessing we will be off the blues at secrets if we're entering the pgn comp.

[Ashes]

I'm guessing we will be off the blues at secrets if we're entering the pgn comp.

Guess again. PGN always play off Black at Secrets.

[simmsy]

Rest easy Jackson.
Blues on Sunday at Meadow.


They don't have blacks. :)

[Johnny Canuck]

Rest easy Jackson.
Blues on Sunday at Meadow.


They don't have blacks. :)

Like Augusta.

[idgolfguy]

How am I to win on Sunday, then?

BTW
Went to the Wildcats/36s game last night. Scrappy but good finish.

[simmsy]

Good crowd id?

Want to take the boys to a game this season.

[Johnny Canuck]

Good crowd id?

Want to take the boys to a game this season.

Wildcats games have a great atmosphere.

[idgolfguy]

Capacity!
Son is doing basketball this year.

Will organise!

[simmsy]

does he have your vertical leap?

[idgolfguy]

Capacity!
Son is doing basketball this year.


Will organise!



does he have your vertical leap?

Will be working on it. He has the family propensity for height.

Elvin and Sims on the 36s must have been all of 5'8". We're easily dunking. Elvin shot 22 points by the 3rd.

[sms316]

"Southern Smash Factors".

Who came up with that pooncy name?

[simmsy]

geez your quick.

i guess thats qld time aint it.

[Nuffie]

How am I to win on Sunday, then?BTWWent to the Wildcats/36s game last night. Scrappy but good finish. Yep, it went right down to the last 30 seconds.We have a new player - Beal who reminds me of Will Smith.

[sms316]

Hey Nuff Nuff,

How long should I set aside on Friday morning for your inspiring Team North captain's speech?

[simmsy]

He's posted it online. I suggest you use it as sleep material on the plane trip

[Jeffo1123]

Yep, it went right down to the last 30 seconds.We have a new player - Beal who reminds me of Will Smith. Is that because of the fresh prince of bel-air haircut?

[Nuffie]

Is that because of the fresh prince of bel-air haircut?Haha you got it!

[Golfnut]

Any dropouts in this? I'm could be up for a caneing.

[Johnny Canuck]

Any dropouts in this? I'm could be up for a caneing.

He lives

[simmsy]

Bloody hell. Saw him at the footy but thought maybe he got lost in the crush on the way out.

Busy cutting other men's grass nut?

[Golfnut]

Bloody hell. Saw him at the footy but thought maybe he got lost in the crush on the way out. Busy cutting other men's grass nut? Always cutting someone else's grass mate, no value in cutting your own ;)

[Golfnut]

So who's oot?

[Johnny Canuck]

So who's oot?

The guy skipping champs for a parade.

[Golfnut]

The guy skipping champs for a parade. Thought that parade was next month.

[Johnny Canuck]

Thought that parade was next month.

Lots of prep work.

[Golfnut]

Lots of prep work. Didn't think he was that hairy.

[LeftyHoges]

I can only assume that the uniforms have gone by the wayside.

But to hell with it, I'm going Purple anyway!

[Johnny Canuck]

I can only assume that the uniforms have gone by the wayside.

But to hell with it, I'm going Purple anyway!

I am purpling it.

[Golfnut]

FREO!!!

[Shadesy]

I wont be purple shirting it unless someone has a clean Medium.

[hocko]

I can only assume that the uniforms have gone by the wayside.

But to hell with it, I'm going Purple anyway!

Purple is still the plan

[Jeffo1123]

I also do not own purple!

[LeftyHoges]

I wont be purple shirting it unless someone has a clean Medium.


I also do not own purple!

Still time for a Salvo's run boys. I'll check mine tomorrow if you like?

[Johnny Canuck]

Still time for a Salvo's run boys. I'll check mine tomorrow if you like?

Good plan. Or just don't make the ladies very early.

[Dotty]

$10 at Lowes will get you a purple polo shirt. ($6, if they are on special.)

Do some scouting tomorrow ... http://www.lowes.com.au/StoreList.aspx?state=WA

[Nuffie]

Ok, the chosen colour for the north is green.

[LeftyHoges]

Ok, the chosen colour for the north is green.

Replicating the Easties victorious colour from last year.

Smart choice. ;-)

[G.K]

Ok, the chosen colour for the north is green.

Doh! I just bought a couple of new shirts on the weekend, neither of which are green. Looks like I may be off to Lowes to pick up a cheapy.

[Mububban]

Ok, the chosen colour for the north is green.

As luck would have it, I have one of those in a very tasteful shade of fluoro.

Hopefully the rain won't arrive until Friday arvo/evening and stays light if it happens. I'm more worried bout wind at The Cut!

26914

[Golfnut]

I'd be more worried about the course than the wind....wind just makes it an even bigger C*nt.

[Nuffie]

Doh! I just bought a couple of new shirts on the weekend, neither of which are green. Looks like I may be off to Lowes to pick up a cheapy.They will still serve their purpose on the other days mate.

[Ashes]

Ok, the chosen colour for the north is green.

Black is a very dark shade of green.

[G.K]

All good Nuffie.

I did wear one of the new ones on Sunday and the end result wasn't too good. I'd like to think my poor form was due to the new shirt. Maybe if it was a green one my form would have been better?

[LeftyHoges]

Black is a very dark shade of green.

Dissent in the ranks already.

[Ashes]

Dissent in the ranks already.

No dissent. Just noting that I'll be wearing an incredibly dark shade of green.

[Jeffo1123]

Blue is also a shade of purple isn't it?

[tommyg]

Sorry to mess up the teams guys but Im out. See "pulling a tourfit thread"

[Shadesy]

Guys

The Cut has let me down and cored there Greens Monday instead of when they were supposed to. We were able to get our deposit back and are Scrambling for a Alternative. Some we have rang are not available. so We have to go with what we are given I guess.

Thanks to Simms for doing the reconnaissance and letting me know and saving playing on fresh cored greens and JC for doing the leg work on the alternatives.

[sms316]

Can you get us on Lake Karrinyup instead?

[Shadesy]

Can you get us on Lake Karrinyup instead?

They were happy to move the tourny they have on for the Nully cup.

Some Members might think its too penal.

[Johnny Canuck]

After a ton of driving and green checking by Simmsy and a lot of phone calls, we are pleased to announce that Nully Cup 2 will be contested at Kwinana GC.

The first tee time is 8am, all groups will be off the first.

Cost is $39, with cart.

We will keep $6 of the $75 for novelties: 4 ntp, 1 ld and one mystery birdie hole.

This will give us time to get to the accommodation in the arvo and easily play another 9.

Course Tip: Beer is cheaper by the 6 pack.

[LeftyHoges]

Not to pay myself on the back or anything but I feel like the man who saved Christmas.

Had I not asked Simmsy to grab a Course Guide we would have been none the wiser and turned up on Friday to play on scrapes.

Well done me!

[Jeffo1123]

Course Tip: Beer is cheaper by the 6 pack. But don't get fat yak.

[Jeffo1123]

Deleted

[sms316]

Do they sell eggs?

[G.K]

Will we still get baps?

Many thanks to all involved in sorting out this hurdle.

I'm both relieved and disappointed. But I wouldn't want to play a course like The Cu*t only to be disappointed by the state of the greens. But great work everyone for finding an alternative so quickly.

[rubin]

well done lads - good teamwork on display

[simmsy]

The Cu*t was a disgrace. we could not have had an enjoyable day there with the state of the course. i know several would of loved the chance to play at the cut but given the price you pay there you want to have the course in good condition.

[simmsy]

thanks to Shades and JC for helping out today.


and of course i better not forget Lefty, it was all his doing :)

[sms316]

From the pics I saw it was the only sensible decision.

I think most would agree

[G.K]

Ah...yes. That looks less than ideal.

[MegaWatty]

That apartment block is soooo shit.

[Shortylook]

Sorry guys, I was cutting it thin to come to the cut, I won't be able to organize my kids to get to kwinana in time. Sorry

[Jackson]

Ok, the chosen colour for the north is green.

Sensational!
Just picked up a shirt/hat/glove combo to match my bright green pants.

Also great work by all involved to save us from playing on cored greens.
Can anyone give those of us who have never played there a quick summary of kwinana?

Plays long. Not much roll. Tree lined, but not dead if in trees. Nice greens. Dress code optional.

[Shadesy]

Sorry guys, I was cutting it thin to come to the cut, I won't be able to organize my kids to get to kwinana in time. Sorry

Single tee times and last tee off is 8.30 or so if you were in one of the back groups?

Does this help?

[MegaWatty]

Plays long. Not much roll. Tree lined, but not dead if in trees. Nice greens. Dress code optional.

Trees directly in front of greens.

[simmsy]

shorty really???

c'mon mate, Ashes was just ready to concede.

[Jeffo1123]

I would have thought times aren't that different seeing as kwinana is probably a solid 45 minutes closer to city than the cut too!

[Ashes]

I would have thought times aren't that different seeing as kwinana is probably a solid 45 minutes closer to city than the cut too!

He's driving from Waroona or something though.

[simmsy]

yep Waroona, so probably 35 to the cut or 1hr+ to Ktown and earlier tee time.

[Jeffo1123]

He's driving from Waroona or something though. Oh.. Well that changes everything!

[G.K]

Looks like Ashes is playing with himself..........again!

Ashes, correct me if I'm wrong, but as you are technically a southerner, you can play two balls and go up against yourself? Twice as many chances to pull up sort of the ladies!

[sms316]

That's ok. Shorty's most valuable experience comes with his grouping on Saturday.

[TourFit]

That apartment block is soooo shit.

Rubin would demolish it with his third provisional...

[Shortylook]

Repost at 8.30. Got a plan

[G.K]

Nice work shorty. You can do it!

[Shadesy]

It is based on home club not home.

PGN is north.

[MegaWatty]

It is based on home club not home.

PGN is north.

I know you're a little upset right now but I think he was having a joke. ;)

[simmsy]

Guys!
and this is for everyone!!!

these events don't just arrange themselves on a friday morning and happen. alot of time goes into these weekends by a small number of people. we have all had 11months to prepare for this weekend and yet 4 days away we still have people coming and going. each time someone says they are out it has ramifications on a number of different levels. Please make sure if you say you are playing that you turn up on the given day. if you can't commit 100% then that's a shame for everyone but we need people to make sure they can make it.

hate to rant but the amount of ins and outs this year has been comical.


Tommy PM sent to you.


thanks all and Shorty i hope you can make it on Friday so you can kick baggers arse!

[Shortylook]

Yes sir back in action. Long story short I'm playing again. Yesss. Probably still play like a bucket of shit but I'm playing.

[simmsy]

Good to hear.

[Shadesy]

I know you're a little upset right now but I think he was having a joke. ;)

Ahh yes.. So he was.

I'm slipping.

[MegaWatty]

Ahh yes.. So he was.

I'm slipping.

Need a snickers?

[G.K]

I know you're a little upset right now but I think he was having a joke. ;)

Indeed it was said in jest.

[Ashes]

Yes sir back in action. Long story short I'm playing again. Yesss. Probably still play like a bucket of shit but I'm playing.

Good to hear Shorty, hope you smash whoever you're playing!

[Shortylook]

Good to hear Shorty, hope you smash whoever you're playing!

If I go close to the tonne at any course ill be creaming.
PS I hope I do beat someone ha ha

[TourFit]

thanks all and Shorty i hope you can make it on Friday so you can kick baggers arse!

Bagger sarse...related to Bagger Vance?

[MegaWatty]

Oh dear. So bad.

[Yossarian]

Fits jokes need to do a langer.

[TourFit]

heheh...Turnhard!

[MegaWatty]

heheh...Turnhard!

Good times. I was in stitches that day.

[TourFit]

Still get cold sweats about 6 tee shots/6 lost balls/6 wipes...

[MegaWatty]

Still get cold sweats about 6 tee shots/6 lost balls/6 wipes...

?

Different day?

[Jackson]

Plays long. Not much roll. Tree lined, but not dead if in trees. Nice greens. Dress code optional.

Does the 6th generally play into the wind or with it in the morning?

[Johnny Canuck]

Does the 6th generally play into the wind or with it?

Normally a touch into it, although it will be early.

[hocko]

After a ton of driving and green checking by Simmsy and a lot of phone calls, we are pleased to announce that Nully Cup 2 will be contested at Kwinana GC.

The first tee time is 8am, all groups will be off the first.

Cost is $39, with cart.

We will keep $6 of the $75 for novelties: 4 ntp, 1 ld and one mystery birdie hole.

This will give us time to get to the accommodation in the arvo and easily play another 9.

Course Tip: Beer is cheaper by the 6 pack.

So are we getting $30 back?

[Johnny Canuck]

So are we getting $30 back?

We are donating it to Nuffie so that he can get new woods and a bag.

[Jeffo1123]

Is there still one extra northerner or do I win by unfortunate circumstances against tommyg?? I'm happy to still go round as lefty's right-hand man...

[Johnny Canuck]

So are we getting $30 back?

What do you think?

[hocko]

Simple question.
A simple answer would suffice.

[Jackson]

Will we be playing pgn comp at kwinana too? Or not because it's matchplay?

[Johnny Canuck]

Will we be playing pgn comp at kwinana too? Or not because it's matchplay?

No comp.

[Johnny Canuck]

Simple question.
A simple answer would suffice.

The question doesn't need to be asked. I can check with Shadesy, but I don't think he'll be keeping $600 of people's money.

[hocko]

Beyond Blue?

[Golfnut]

Will we be playing pgn comp at kwinana too? Or not because it's matchplay?

Are you PGN Jackson? I think I might be playing you, now that Yoss is out....I'm in PGN also so I'm happy to play in the PGN comp and put a card in if you want to as well.

[Shadesy]

The question doesn't need to be asked. I can check with Shadesy, but I don't think he'll be keeping $600 of people's money.

I was thinking of paying for everyone's champs next year.

$30 will be handed back to everyone and they can do with it what they wish.

Nut is PGN so will be shuffled into Jeffo's match. So it's 10 v 10.

[Golfnut]

Shades if we need an extra man, my brother might be able to fill in.....up to you guys, nice to keep the numbers even.

[Ashes]

Works out nicely being a PGN comp. Will do enough to get the MP points and then drop anchor to get back out to 18 for the main event. :)

[Jackson]

Are you PGN Jackson? I think I might be playing you, now that Yoss is out....I'm in PGN also so I'm happy to play in the PGN comp and put a card in if you want to as well.

Sounds like a plan, I figure if I'm out there playing it might as well count.

[Golfnut]

Works out nicely being a PGN comp. Will do enough to get the MP points and then drop anchor to get back out to 18 for the main event. :)

I could be out to 19 post Friday....shame I'm not in for the weekend shenanigans. Go Ashes!

[Golfnut]

Sounds like a plan, I figure if I'm out there playing it might as well count.

Exactly.

[Ashes]

Just remember its stroke if you jump on the comp.

[Golfnut]

How do you know it's a stroke round Ashes?

[Ashes]

PGN is stroke for all of October and November.

[Golfnut]

Awesome....19 here I come.

[TourFit]

CHOPPER!

You off 19 is sheer banditry.

[Golfnut]

You got the first bit right.

[Johnny Canuck]

Just remember its stroke if you jump on the comp.

Gentlemen, in a field playing match play with hole concessions, etc, it probably isn't the best move to be putting out for a 9 when your opponent is in for 3.

If everyone wants to play stroke, it would be a different story.

The spirit of the day is based around the match plays.

[simmsy]

Great. The 3 highest cappers playing stroke with each other while the rest play mp.

[Golfnut]

Will there be any PGN groups going off before us?

[Ashes]

Probably. They start at 7.

[simmsy]

??

When did pgn go to Ktown?

They were at Harty on Fridays previously

[Golfnut]

If there are, speedy play may not be the order of the morning.

[Golfnut]

Friday's also simmsy

[Ashes]

??

When did pgn go to Ktown?

They were at Harty on Fridays previously

Been at Ktown for ages. Never used to be Fridays though.

[Ashes]

Apparently there'll be a PGN comp starting up at Melville Glades soon.

[Golfnut]

I'll flow with what the masses want but I'm happy to play stroke with our MP comp on the side....may as well especially if others in the field are playing stroke.

[Golfnut]

Apparently there'll be a PGN comp starting up at Melville Glades soon.

Who told you this?

[Ashes]

Was just a windup for Simmsy.

I won't be going in the comp at Kwinana, hoping to have a fun hit out and don't want to be worried about my stroke score.

[Johnny Canuck]

I'll flow with what the masses want but I'm happy to play stroke with our MP comp on the side....may as well especially if others in the field are playing stroke.

It isn't normally a packed field, so it shouldn't be an issue, in regards to slow groups in front.

[LeftyHoges]

Are only PGN members allowed in the comp?

[Ashes]

Are only PGN members allowed in the comp?

Dunno. I've organised with them to allow everyone in for Saturday at Secrets. Usually it needs to be arranged in advance.

[hocko]

I'll flow with what the masses want but I'm happy to play stroke with our MP comp on the side....may as well especially if others in the field are playing stroke.

I thought this was North Vs South / Nully Cup II?
This is a match play event that is on the OzGolf calendar. It has taken a lot of organising to get this event sorted, I don't think it's fair for people to come in at the last minute and make their own rules.

Apologies for bringing up the idea, I figured the groups in front of ours would be playing stroke anyway.

Scrap the idea then, we'll just play mp.

[Johnny Canuck]

Scrap the idea then, we'll just play mp.

No worries Jackson. There is a big difference between stroke and match play strategies as well.

If you only need a 6 to win a hole, you play smart and take the extra shot to win it safely, which contradicts scoring for stroke.

Friday is 100% match play and we wouldn't want anything being influenced by a stroke round going on at the same time.

There shouldn't be too many groups in front of us to slow Golfnut down.

[simmsy]

Apparently there'll be a PGN comp starting up at Melville Glades soon.


;)
They have already got 8 comps running Monday to Friday at MGGC and plenty of money. They won't be letting the scum in anytime soon.
Gosnells are rethinking it now as well. Many letters have been submitted by members and I wasn't the first to leave due to it either.

[TourFit]

I thought you left to get a much higher handicap?

[simmsy]

Going to melville?

I am expecting to come in at least 1 maybe 2 being there.

[MegaWatty]

Down to 14 or 6?

[simmsy]

Hahaha

I can't believe I called them to clear that up.

I should of waited till at least next week.

[MegaWatty]

Just slow down. I'm only just getting back in to it and you're talking about getting to 6?

[Mububban]

No worries Jackson. There is a big difference between stroke and match play strategies as well.

If you only need a 6 to win a hole, you play smart and take the extra shot to win it safely, which contradicts scoring for stroke.

Friday is 100% match play and we wouldn't want anything being influenced by a stroke round going on at the same time.

There shouldn't be too many groups in front of us to slow Golfnut down.

I hope IDG can give me some tactical advice then coz I've got no clue about anything beyond stroke. I'm playing shadesy who's listed as off 9, 10 shots less than me (tbc).

[bergsey]

Might be an idea to update the OP.. would hate for someone to turn up at a The Cut !

Nuffie are you serious about green? How about white?

[simmsy]

well as ashes has stated he is wearing a very dark shade of green, perhaps you can wear a very, very pale shade of green.

[idgolfguy]

I hope IDG can give me some tactical advice then coz I've got no clue about anything beyond stroke. I'm playing shadesy who's listed as off 9, 10 shots less than me (tbc).If Shadesy is going to give you 10 shots - you have this game in the bag by at least three holes. You drive as long as him. I will explain the strategy on the day.

If he has to give you 9 shots, for example, on 9 holes, after you each drive, he would have 1 shot played and you will still be sitting on 0. It's on a hole-by-hole basis and not the overall score.

[Shadesy]

Yeah my iron game is horrible :-/

I've never lost to a Higher Marker. I'm not sure I understand your theory?

I'm off 10 btw ;-)

[Shortylook]

OP Update with Groupings and Pricing -

For those who have paid for THE CUT your Green Fees and Novelties WILL BE PAID FOR by me. Those that will need to pay for there own Green Fees and give simmsy $6 for the day will be:

Golfnut
Shortylook
Nuffie

Those who have paid for the Cut will be receiving $30 back from simmsy as well at some before during or after the round. He has 16 envelopes to give out, so be patient.

ID.. Bring it on. Starting to find form at my home track and there nay a flat green on the course.

Had my grip, stance and swing changed by a Pro yesterday. No chance to practice as yet so will see how successful I'll be.
I will be busy enough with TWM!

And you are right! PUTTING is the key. I'm off 12 with no chance of moving up or down for the next few rounds. Having played a round with Mubs at Hammersley (which is quite tight), the lad has game and you will be put to task.

BTW, still using your putter!

[simmsy]

has anyone been able to let Nuffie, TWM and anyone else that doesn't frequent here reguarly that we are no longer at the Cut and at Ktown?

[idgolfguy]

Nuffie knows and he'll be coming down with me anyway.

its pretty simple mate.

Basically, the 17 shot difference between you and nuff, now becomes your handicap for the round, with you getting 1 extra shot on the 17 hardest holes on the course.

[rubin]

Nuffie knows and he'll be coming down with me anyway.

he needs the lead in time to do pre work, course reviews, write his own guide, and detail the car correctly for kTown.

[Shadesy]

FTFY

[sms316]

34pts for me around PW today so confirm that my handicap is 0.8. Giving four shots to the Canuck around his home track.

It will be a noble victory.

[Mububban]

I'm looking forward to finishing up as first group and then watching you guys play the last few holes.

[MegaWatty]

Oh god. The blind leading the blind?

You will get shots on 17 evenly distributed holes rather than on the 17 hardest holes.

It's best that someone just post which hole he won't get a shot on.

Your opponent will be playing off scratch.

[Jackson]

Is yoss back in for this? Or are we short one?

so you basically reposted what I had already said?

Clever.

No I didn't. Read again.

[rubin]

Ok.

using your definition, Shorty will get an extra 1.0588235 shots per hole over 18 - that is evenly distributed.

Can you explain what 0.0588235 of a shot is?

[MegaWatty]

Think harder. Matchplay index vs stroke index. Is that hint big enough for you?

[rubin]

which is still the 17 hardest holes - using a different rating system.

to quote the USGA:
Scoring match play using handicaps is not done exactly the same way it is done in a stroke play event. In 18-hole stroke play where Player A is a -10 handicap and Player B is a -19 handicap, Player A gets one stroke off his score on the ten hardest holes (by handicap rating on scorecard); Player B gets two strokes off his score on the hardest hole and one stroke off on the other 17.

note it says "hardest". The fact that we have a seperate rating for Stroke and MP (on some courses) is irrelevant, as it is still the 17 hardest holes.

How about instead of trying to complicate it for the bloke that has never played Matchplay in his life, make life easy for him.

Sorry for trying to give the guy a true and correct answer so that he can actually learn the right way straight up.

If I'm not mistaken I was the one that suggested someone should let him know the hole that he doesn't get a stroke on. Probably doesn't get much easier than that!

Nuffie is playing Lefty in the matchplay.

Shorty is playing the Tall and Pale one. Both have similar handicaps - GOLF!

Thanks Blakey.

Looks like the 1st. Hardest hole?

cause Blakey's always good to simplify things as well....

Is that a generic distribution. I thought every course was different depending on the hole difficulty.

Thank god someone finally posted that. I read through about 30 posts thinking "someone please tell him that I'm playing Nuffie and he doesn't have to worry about it!"

[simmsy]

Not mp

Hardest hole at the cut is #12 I think but mp rating is #14

[simmsy]

Everyone that has NFI of how to play mp
Go home tonight and read about it.


Should take u all of 1minute.

[bergsey]

Simmsy, please put my $30 in the tin. Cheers

[MegaWatty]

So I was right?

[LeftyHoges]

Jesus christ, seeing as this is an unofficial competition we can either decide to play it off the matchplay index, the strokeplay index, or just by whoever gets the most stableford points on the hole wins.

It's not ****ing rocket surgery!

[sms316]

Just as well JC agreed to play me off the stick then. Much simpler!

[MegaWatty]

Rubin the 'Colossal Expert' just tried to complicate things Lefty by giving the uniformed the wrong info.

Well, actually...

Wasn't it decided in here about 12 pages ago that we're doing the same as last year and just doing it all off stableford scores?

So no-one is "technically" getting shots?

Thanks Lefty. I was waiting for someone to post this. I thought this had been clarified earlier but couldnt find it in the thread.

Inner circle, can you confirm the above so we aren't left pondering whether we are playing matchford or stableplay?

Gotta love a thread that's been WAnkered....:)

I will post tonight will a full rundown so that shorty only needs to ask Simmsy every second hole who gets shots.
