[AndyP]

Just amended the time, as we would both prefer that only half our day would be taken up.

Timesheets would have come out now too.

steve - do you need to borrow a low-lofted driver for this one???

or have you sorted that out already?

Got it sorted BV - TM R580XD 8.5*. Makes a hell of a difference. Not getting any plug marks in front of where the drive lands anymore.:shock:

no fun is it :(

i used to have the same problem with my old Cobra SS370 driver :roll:

[steverawlo]

I'm hitting it at least 15 - 20 metres longer with 2* less loft. The club feels sweeter at impact too.

[BrisVegas]

cool. glad to hear it! Good luck in your match. Don't think I'll be able to make it to watch you guys play.

[Keza_G]

i'm out.. sorry Ap....

[Moe Norman]

if the spot doesn't fill I'm keen, but won't know till about 24 hours before.

[990B Luva]

Moe we could play our matchplay here.... and get it over and done with

[Moe Norman]

sounds good to me

[shazza_rs]

that would be all good if 990B had a valid hcp.... seems to be lapsed to me.... but he is playing pennants..... go figure

[Moe Norman]

i've brought this issue up and I'm not too concerned about it.

as far as pennants go, who givres a rats?

Pennants is real golf - off the beater.

[markTHEblake]

that would be all good if 990B had a valid hcp.... seems to be lapsed to me.... but he is playing pennants..... go figure

Point of order !

From the matchplay rules.

5. *Full AGU Handicap as at the date of the match applies, verifiable by golf link or other official source. * *AGU matchplay index to be used

Obviously "IF" a person does not have an AGU handicap they play off scratch.

Moe- might not make a difference to you, but what about the next person - and the next?
(he is not called 990_Burglar for nothing)

[goughy]

Looking at golflink I'd guess he still has a valid hc. Golf link requires 5 valid cards in a 12 months period for it to stay active on golflink otherwise it reverts to a club based hc. But since you can have a valid agu hc at a club that's not on golflink then I'd say he's still ok. How many cards must be handed in over what minimum period at your club to keep a valid agu hc.

[Moe Norman]

if he doesn't have it sorted by the time we play the match we'll both play off scratch.

seems fair to me.

[steverawlo]

Andy,

Do you want me to get our names down on Tuesday or will you call them?

[990B Luva]

The problm is Golflink, my handicap is not lapsed, anyone can ring Jindalee (32793073 - ask to check Brett Warren's Handicap if you are that desperate) and confirm it if they wish but it is 15.1 or 15.2 (not sure if my McLeod round has gone through)

[AndyP]

I'll let you do the honours, Steve. I've organised a few games on the forum this month.
At this stage, we definitely have four people (the two matches). Not sure what A-Lo's status is.

andylo??

[markTHEblake]

Brett - please read the rule again. and the onus is on you to prove your handicap not the other way around.

Given that you openly admit you dont play comps, and If i also remember correctly the last time i saw your Golf link there was only a couple of scores showing, and handicaps are lapsed at the beginning of every year, your pushing your luck trying to convince anybody it did not lapsed. With all due respect though - I do know that golf link should still show your record and state that it is lapsed.

based on your performance in some ozgolf days your damn lucky you dont get a special ozgolf handicap anyway - shall we have a poll :-)

honestly if Golfer69's handicap had lapsed not many people would complain if he continued to use 11, but lets face it your closer to a 5 handicap than a 15.

[BrisVegas]

if he doesn't have it sorted by the time we play the match we'll both play off scratch.

seems fair to me.

I wouldn't joke about that... :neutral:

990B (along with choppa) is someone who doesn't need much of a handicap when he has a good day. :shock:

[Moe Norman]

I wasn't joking. It's better than giving him 8 shots.... ;)

[990B Luva]

Doesnt bother me Moe... if you want to play off the stick then we will it doesnt really matter to me

[Moe Norman]

mate,

if you say you're hcp is 15, thats enough for me.

we'll play as normal.

[andylo]

Yes I am in

[andylo]

Wait how come I become the 5th person!?

[AndyP]

Wait how come I become the 5th person!?
Because you were in pencil.

Do we have anymore takers? 5 isn't very workable.

[andylo]

If not then I might as well just spend time with Christine.

[steverawlo]

Righto we're booked in for 12.06pm off the first.

1. AndyP
2. Steverawlo
3. Moe Norman
4. 990B Luva

$19 comp fee.

[AndyP]

Excellent work, Steve.

Now should I still play my tennis fixtures that night, I should I go out on the booze celebrating/drowning my sorrows.

[steverawlo]

Excellent work, Steve.

Now should I still play my tennis fixtures that night, I should I go out on the booze celebrating/drowning my sorrows.

You've got three shots on me now.:shock:

[AndyP]

That's funny.
When we first started discussions on our match, we had the same handicap.

[steverawlo]

All my stuffing around has cost me!!

[nudgee]

If there happens to be any last minute pullouts, count me in for this one.

Cheers

[AndyP]

A-Lo was in pencil, so we could make it 6, if he is still interested. The matches plus a spectator in each group??

[Moe Norman]

I only just noticed the tee-time.

are you guys adverse to an earlier start??

i'm in either way, just means I won't get to see the pies pummel the dons live :(

[AndyP]

The approx time has been on the thread title the whole time, as that's what we were aiming for and I think the comp tee times only start about 11 anyway.

[andylo]

In this case I am interest again.

[BrisVegas]

Do you have 2 groups booked? I'm a chance at late notice if you need numbers.

[steverawlo]

I've only booked for one group but by the sound of it there was plenty of tee times available when I rang last Tuesday.

[AndyP]

I've PM'd Nudgee to get his confirmation.

[Jarro]

I've PM'd Nudgee to get his confirmation.

good luck getting a reply :roll:

[AndyP]

Why's that, jarro?

[Jarro]

Why's that, jarro?

didn't somebody have to post in here to tell him that his inbox was full :roll:

[AndyP]

Yeah, but he since cleaned it out. So hopefully he hasn't had 100+ messages since then. Mind you, I haven't heard from him yet.....

[Jono]

If BV, Nudgee and Alo are playing and you need one more player, I'll drive up one day earlier than planned to play in this. 8)

Oxley is somewhere between GC and Brisbane?

[nudgee]

Hey guys count me in for this one! BTW I have been a busy boy so havent had much chance to look at the site.

BTW Jarro I hear there is a small package coming my way with an extra goodie in it!

I'll have to start working on permission for this one, but Jono's participation could be the clincher....

[Moe Norman]

Jono - Oxley GC is about 1km from tezza's house.

[steverawlo]

Do you blokes want me to book another group or will you sort it out yourselves?

[AndyP]

Great. See you gents next Tuesday. 8) I won't have internet access on the road so if there are any changes, please call or SMS me on 0416 055 791. Thanks.

[Jarro]

you are a golfing s_l_u_t Jono :razz: :roll:

[AndyP]

Now that we are playing from the 10th Tee, are we meant to change the matchplay indexes over???

3 shots.
Index 1 - Hole 8
Index 2 - Hole 12
Index 3 - Hole 4

What did you guys do at McLeod?

[Moe Norman]

12 being a Par 3 would be a good one to get your shot on.

[Jono]

you are a golfing s_l_u_t Jono :razz: :roll:

Next week, I am. 7 rounds in 7 days! :shock: I don't think I've ever done that before ... 8)

You should change it over so that index 1 is the 17th (ie. our 8th) and so on. In the end, it's whatever you two agree on. 8)

make sure you pack the Panadol mate :smt002

I don't care either way Andy. Whatever you choose is fine by me.

[AndyP]

OK, I'll decide after each hole whether I got a shot on it or not.....

Easy tiger.........

Crikey this has come up fast. Haven't swung a club for a couple of weeks, so tomorrow should be fun! See you all there.

P.S. Go Steve! :smt002

[AndyP]

Feel weird having a weekend, then one day back at work, then a day off. Looking forward to having a hit tomorrow, I've only played Oxley a couple of times.

See y'all tomorrow.

P.S. Go Steve!

Nice p!ss take. :-D

Looks like being a top day. See you all soon.

[AndyP]

Congratulations to Steve on his 2 and 1 victory today. He is in a nice little form patch, and I was definitely outplayed.
He's a great putter and hit some really nice drives. Three super drives on the home stretch, come to mind, that really set the win up.

I started the round with two pars, yet was 2 down thru 2 as Steve had birdied both. What a start. I got it back to even by our 5th and it was a tight match from there.

I really enjoyed the match, as I don't get to play matchplay and it's good to see how your game (especially putting) holds up under pressure.
I actually played quite well, to my handicap, but was beaten by someone
playing better.

For the record, the margin was never more than 2 either way, and there were results on 12 of the 17 holes.

Well done, Steve.
Look out, Dave/Kee.

---------------------

I'll put the day results in a new thread in the 1st tee area, so Blakey can pick it up for the POTY money.

[Moe Norman]

Lost to 990B 4&3. It started off weird for the first 5 holes as we traded holes and all were by 2 shot margins, so there was very little pressure.

Then I made a few birdies and got 2 up before losing 6 holes straight as 990B played some good golf and my putting went missing, even losing some of the holes where 990B didn't have a shot, which really cost me.

He sealed it nicely with a birdie on 6 (our 15th) after I drove the green and only managed Par.

Well done Brett - look out Stoney.

[AndyP]

AndyP and I had a very close match with the big turning point coming on the 3rd (our 12th) when Andy found a bunker and lost a hole that he had a shot on. :shock: That squared the match and was the last shot I had to give him. :p
That did hurt a little bit, and you seemed to hit your straps a bit after that.
Really wish I had of sunk that birdie putt on 1 though.

I was a bit dirty about my lie in the bunker on 3, as it was just in front of a mound of sand (I was surprised to be in the bunker in the first place), and didn't prepare myself properly for the shot. The second bunker shot wasn't too good either.

After that you parred 4 of our last 5 live holes, without giving up a shot, so didn't really give me a look in at the end.
Your drives on 4, leaving 40 or so in, 6, leaving a greenside chip, and 8, to about 100 in, really set the holes up.

You played well when it counted.
