2014 Vic Champs - Beat Off The Champs Challenge

[Marto65]

It's been suggested that after the success of the Beat Lefty Challenge at the Ozgolf Champs that another is staged in Victoria.

This event will have a slight twist.

There are three current champs (Me, Peter_RS and NK). Nominate the champ you wish to challenge. Throw your $10 into the pool. You can take on one of them or all of them for $10 a nomination per challenge (take on all 3 for $30). As with the QLD champs, proxy challengers will be allowed.

Those offered up for beating off ....

1. Peter_RS. The current Victorian Champion isn't even from Victoria. He's a couple of shots worse off handicap wise than he was last year. Can you take him while he's concentrating on the defence of his title?
2. NK. The Wankers Champ. Threatened to pull out over there ... then turned up and hosed them all. Also comes to Vic with a deflated H'cap. Can you sneak in behind him while he's not watching?
3. Marto. The current QLD champ is actually a ring in from NSW. Take him on State of Origin style.

You must beat or tie with the champ of your choice on Saturday to remain in the pool.
You must beat the champ of your choice on Sunday to win a share of the pool.
Challenge money to be paid to me by tee-off Saturday.

Ozgolf will get one share of the pool. So will the charity Beyond Blue.

I'll be taking on both of the other champs, so I'm putting in $20.

So ...

Marto x 2 - $20.
Titty x 3 - $30
Foxy x 3 - $30
BenM x 2 Marto - Peter_RS - $20
JMac x 3 - $30
Courty x 3 - $30
Waddsy v Marto - $10
Jack Bauer (Spanner39) x 3 - $30
Monsta65 x 3 - $30
BITS (Proxy Lefty x 3) - $30
Lefty x3 - $30
PeteyD x3 - $30


So..... Who wants to Beat Off a Champs Challenge?

[Captain Nemo]

I'll take on all 3.....

[FoxGolf]

I'll take on all 3 thanks Marto.

[BenM]

Ok. I'll take on Pete and Marto.

Pete so that I can hopefully beat his wife then him on consecutive days.

Marto so that I can give him his $10 in 20c pieces. :D

[Jmac]

I'll have a crack at all three thanks. I love betting my hard earned $$ on a long shot.

[Courty]

Put me in for a $30 donation. :roll:

[Waddzy]

[Captain Nemo]

Put me in for a $30 donation. :roll:

Don't be like that partner......
Confidence!

[WBennett]

I could think of nothing less appealing that beating off Mario. Actually, Bob wearing nail polish beating off Mario is worse. #shudder

Mate .. you've obviously read this wrong.

It's Beating off the Champs, not Beating off the Champs.

[WBennett]

Oh! My bad.

I was wondering why people were willing to pay $30 for this dubious privelage.

[Courty]

Don't be like that partner......Confidence! Have you not seen my Champs record?

[Waddzy]

Have you not seen my Champs record?

Atleast you finally shook that 30pt average barrier last champs right? I didnt even break 30 pts in 1 round!

[LarryLong]

I'll take on DC68

[Marto65]

I'll take on DC68

Thanks for your $10.

[spanner039]

Put me in for $30

Mario's game will be shot after his trouncing Friday

[Monsta]

Put me in for $30 Marto, I have no chance on present form (or OZgolf days form as well), but willing to make a donation

[Shadesy]

Wow 2 handicap farmers and Marto who shoots par.

What a choice.

[LeftyHoges]

Wow 2 handicap farmers and Marto who shoots par.

What a choice.

While farming his handicap... :lol:

[backintheswing]

What sort of form are you in Lefty? I am thinking of having you as my proxy against all 3 (if that is allowed)

[LeftyHoges]

Have somehow drifted out to 4, while I shot a 75 on Saturday at a partially strange track, bogeying 2 of the last 3.

Decipher from that what you will... ;-)

[Shadesy]

;-)

[Marto65]

Lots of pots and kettles around here .... I thought Robins Kitchen went bust?

[backintheswing]

Lefty on 4 is a given. Just remember to throw your wedges forward and you will be sweet.

Marto, can I proxy Lefty against the 3 champs.

[LeftyHoges]

Thanks BITS, you've given me a very valid excuse not to get so drunk that the tiles come calling for me.

[backintheswing]

Suckit lives!

[LeftyHoges]

Suckit lives!

Did he ever really die?

(P.S. Yes, he most certainly did, but he long lives on in our hearts!)

[LeftyHoges]

Better put me in seeing as BITS has so much confidence in me and my 5 handicap for the weekend. $30.

[PeteyD]

Put me in too. Who knows, I might surprise myself.

[Waddzy]

screw it , ill take all 3 on. thinking of having lefty as proxy with a 5 handicap but.. wheres the outright betting thread?

[idgolfguy]

I'm in for all three at $30. Just read the thread and realised it was about golf.

[Peppas]

Sure, happy to donate.

[G.K]

I'll have a crack at all 3 Marto so put me down for $30.

Looks like it will be fun to administer:shock:

[Marto65]

Well, Beat Off The Champs Challenge was a huge success.

And the winners is .... THE CHAMPS.

After good scores by NK and myself knocked out most of the field on Saturday in benign conditions at The Dunes, Peter_RS came through on Sunday with a massive 37points in a gale to take out everyone else.

$430 in the pot to be shared by Ozgolf and beyond Blue.

Thanks to those who took part and happily made donations.

Bigger and better again next year.

[Captain Nemo]

Well done Marto, and all those who participated!

[Jmac]

Great effort by the champs. I would have played better on he Sunday but my clubs were wet and smelly.

[PeteyD]

They sure stunk the cart up.

[AndyP]

I can't get the donation page to work to pass on this money. Can someone else test please? If it fails, I might do direct deposit instead, although it's harder to get a receipt that way.

[G.K]

I seem to be able to access it OK. Happy to do the donation by my card and be reimbursed if it helps.

[Ned]

I seem to be able to access it OK. Happy to do the donation by my card and be reimbursed if it helps. Shadesy needs to borrow another CC as as well GK.

[AndyP]

I seem to be able to access it OK. Happy to do the donation by my card and be reimbursed if it helps.Thanks, but I'll try the page at home then; maybe work block it, although I'd expect a firewall message.

[AndyP]

I did it via the phone on 3G to avoid the work network.

All $430 from this fundraising paid to Beyond Blue. Well done OZgolfers.

And I'll put in the remaining once I've banked it. All up it's about $1560ish. Great effort.

[Marto65]

Well done AP.

[Courty]

Excellent work to everyone who contributed!

[Bruce]

That might not be a bad thing to add to our thankyou notes.


eg.
PS. We raised a couple of grand for BeyondBlue while we were at it.
