[Moe Norman]

Dave defeats Moe 4 & 2.

Was a pretty average display really, surprised I lasted until the 16th.

Quick rundown.

1. Dave hammers it down the centre, Moe in the rough left under a tree. Dave pulls left into the trap, Moe hits a punched draw but puts too much on it and also goes in the trap. Daves blasts out about 30 feet bast hole, Moe puts bunker shot to about 8 feet. Dave burns the edge and taps in, Moe misreads and never hit the hole. All square.

2. Dave blocks it right, out into the shit. Thommo on left side of fairway. Dave punches out about 60m short of green, Thommo puts 7 iron to about 12 feet. Dave pitches on and leaves about 8 feet for par and again burns the edge. Thommo races birdie putt way past and misses the return 6 footer with another bad read. All square

3. Dave smashes another hefty tee shot and flies the traps, Thommo goes down the leftside into casual water. Dave skanks his hybrid short and right, Thommo hits hybrid pin high about 20m left of green. Dave puts it in the front trap and Thommo hits a flop to about 15 feet. Dave nearly holes bunker shot and taps in for par. Thommo leaves biirdie putt short, and taps in for a half. All square

4. Dave puts tee shot about 25 feet left of pin. Thommo misses green to right and kicks into hazard - less said the better. Dave makes par and goes 1 up.

5. Dave hits solid tee shot, but it stays on the ridge above the hole, leaving a VERY difficult putt accross a ridge and down the hill from about 20 feet. Thommo sticks it to about 10 feet. Dave makes a decent fist of his putt, leaving about 5 feet for par. Thommo hits a good putt, burns the edge and stays out. Dave rams his par putt into the back of the cup for a solid half to stay 1 up.

6. Dave hooks left and short, kicks off tree into centre of fairway. Thommo in light rough to right, both knock it on the green and two putt for a half. Dave 1 up

7. Daves skanks hybrid left, Thommo stripes it down the centre. PeteyD then confuses us all by telling us the distance markers aren't right. We all guess..Dave guesses right, Thommo doesn't. Thommo hits a pure 9 iron straight over the flag, but goes long. Chips on and misses 6 footer for par, another bad read. Dave 2 jabs to go 2 up.

8. Dave smashes tee shot down the right, Thommo takes on the corner ang gets over. Dave has a little 80m pitch he puts to about 3 feet. Thommo is in casual water about 40m out, gets a flyer and dumps it in the piss, drops one and gets up & down. Dave safely makes the 2 putts to go 3 up.

9. Dave hits it up the middle, Thommo hits it in light rough right. Thommo now 3 down takes aggressive approach and smashes 3 wood but just catches the front greenside bunker. Dave lays up safely then knocks a wedge to about 10 feet. Thommo decels badly on his bunker shot, then gets up and down for par. Dave holes 10 footer for birdie to go 4 up through 9.

10. Dave smashes it down the centre, Thommo blocks it way right out onto the 11th fairway. Thommo really struggling off the tee now. Dave pulls his approach left, Thommo hits it to about 20 feet. Dave fails to get up & down and Thommo safely 2 putts to get 1 back and be three down.

11. Thommo elects to take 'safety club' off the tee and pulls 3 wood way left onto 12th fairway. Dave hits into light rough left. Thommo hits a hilary swank and gets a luck bounce off tree to fairway. Pitches on and misses 10 footer for Par. Dave pushes approach into right bunker and fails on sand save for a half. Dave 3 up.

12. Dave stripes another one down the middle, Thommo again pulls left into the trees. Dave hits approach about 30 feet long and left of pin. Thommo leaves 9 iron about 20 feet from flag just off green. Thommo holes his little pitch shot for birdie and Dave leaves it short in the heart. Dave 2 up.

13. Thommo stripes 4 iron to about 10 feet, Dave skanks it short and right. Pitches right next to Thommo's ball and misses putt for Par. Thommo lags it down there and taps in for Par. Dave 1 up.

14. This is the one hole on the course Thommo gets his shot, after a small fightback he is confident getting a shot on a Par 5 to get it back to square. Instead he continues to struggle from the tee, and pulls it WAY left onto 15. Dave hits a monster down the middle. Thommo has 100 foot pines between him and the hole, tries to hit a massive high draw with hybrid and doesn't get through trees. Ball is lost, meanwhile Dave is struggling but taps in for 7 to WIN the hole :( Dave 2 up. Disaster for Thommo there, to have a shot and lose the hole to a double bogey.

15. Dave hits perfect cut to corner of dogleg, Thommo has now given up on the driver and hits 'safety' 3 wood and skies it....then chips up to dogleg and leaves wedge at front of green. Dave pitches on and 2 putts for par to go Dormie 3.

16. Writing is on the wall here for Thommo after a mini fightback. Dave asserts his authority, having the honour he nearly makes an ace. Leaving his tee shot 80cm from the hole. Thommo now needs an ace to stay in it! Misses the green to the right, Dave taps in and takes victory 4 & 2.

Not a bad match in the end, I couldn't hit a fairway to save my life and Dave burnt the edge of the hole all day without really holing anything. I think the 510 TP Tour has seen the D2 lurking in the cupboard!

[3oneday]

Moral of the story ?

New driver and glasses for Thommo ?

[BrisVegas]

Well played dc68. Bad luck Moe. Time for a 460cc beast...or whatever dc68's using!

[PeteyD]

I think he has one in the cupboard (a 460 beast that is, DC has an R7 Shallow)

[Moe Norman]

Moral of the story ?

New driver and glasses for Thommo ?
already got the new driver :mrgreen:

considering I couldn't hit 3 wood either, I think it was just one of those days on the tee.....

[dc68]

Oi It was only a bogie not a double.
Thanks for the game mate I was worried after the 13th, trust me.

[Moe Norman]

I had budgeted to be all square through 14, thats for sure.

Then you went birdie, birdie on 16 and 17 so it would have been over anyway.

[dc68]

No, but we are both playing Nambour so I would presume that it will be completed by then.




PS. Eags is gonna smash you.

[dc68]

Good to see you know it.

[BrisVegas]

Rich v Dicky
Barny v chop chop


some good matches coming up!

[Courty]

After this match, we'll know once and for all who is the biggest Dick. ;)

[Eag's]

Dion...its being promoted as "The battle of the Dicks" thank you very much.

:lol: top stuff Rich :smt023
Oh buy the way, nice use of reverse psychology ;)

[markTHEblake]

Dion...its being promoted as "The battle of the Dicks" thank you very much.

yeah, Battle of Big Horn was definitely not an appropriate title.

[dc68]

It was Little Big Horn wasn't it?

[Jarro]

2 dicks going hard at it ..... sounds like a movie you might find in Blakes closet.

[dc68]

already got the new driver :mrgreen:

Get rid of that 3-ball sack of shite too.

I dont wanna know what you were doing in my closet Jarro. =;

[AndyP]

He's definitely out of the closet now.

[Eag's]

Off topic but AndyP, who the hell is that crack head looking dude as your avatar??

[dc68]

It is Shane Crawford's lover I believe.

[Courty]

He's the lead in Poof's of the Carribean

[AndyP]

Off topic but AndyP, who the hell is that crack head looking dude as your avatar??
It's my identical twin brother.

[Jarro]

You mean you have a twin brother that's gay too ???

[AndyP]

Wow! Aren't we all a bunch of homophobes.

[Jarro]

bloody oath !!!!!

[Courty]

Wow! Aren't we all a bunch of homophobes.

Failing to deny is as good as confessing. :shock:

[AndyP]

So it's meant to be an insult then? Seems rather prejudiced to me.

[Moe Norman]

Get rid of that 3-ball sack of shite too.no chance (this week anyway)

[dc68]

It's my identical twin brother.


See.... Told yas.

[BrisVegas]

Eag's v golfer69 at Newcastle


And the winner is.........

[Moe Norman]

i'll have a bet on 69'er.

Eagsy wouldn't be used to those slick bent greens :)

[Courty]

I'm on Eags. 69er is a hack. :p

[Moe Norman]

no arguments there!

[peter_rs]

I want eags to win, but hey I have never play golf with G69 so that could be fun.

[BrisVegas]

As long as golf is the winner, I'm happy. :roll: Although I suspect Eags will be too good for the bunter.

[PeteyD]

Apparently the conditions were pretty shocking with a bit of a blow about.

[BrisVegas]

golfer69 def Eags 1 up.

[markTHEblake]

:shock: your kidding?

On an easy track Golfer69 has got game, especially if he gets his nose in front early, but when the going gets tough, 99's and 13's a plenty.

[goughy]

At least Eag's took him to the 18th! I wonder how many times they mentioned that to Jarro??

[Grunt]

Was talk in the clubhouse that G69 was 5up at one stage.

[AndyP]

I don't think the result was ever in doubt. 69er had Eag's rattled from the moment we got off the plane.

[Eag's]

I don't think the result was ever in doubt. 69er had Eag's rattled from the moment we got off the plane.

Pffft!!!! :roll: Yeah Rich was a real scary opponent :roll:
It had nothing to do with the fact I played the worst round of my life :oops:
Both of us wanted to pull the pin on more than one occasion :shock: anyways congrats to Rich and good luck next round mate :smt023

[peter_rs]

Do all the semi's have to be played before the 30/9 or is it ok if they are done before the champs?

I have to give G69 a chance with his back and all ;)

[peter_rs]

Moe and choppa - are you guys gunna have your game played and then the victor played rusty by the sept 30 deadline????

As per my original question above, do i have to have my match played with G69 by the end of next week???

PeteyD?? Admin?? Matchplay committee??

[Moe Norman]

i'm out, so not sure what I have to do with this?

[AndyP]

As per my original question above, do i have to have my match played with G69 by the end of next week???

PeteyD?? Admin?? Matchplay committee??PeteyD is the man now, but IMO with Nov champs, I wouldn't think Sept 30 would be a strict deadline.

I think you can get rid of the blinkies now that you the merit bars too.

[peter_rs]

moe sorry If I missed it. I didn't see you post you were out or choppa had won.

AP I will keep both as I like the blinkies :) and my signature could be empty after the champs .

[Moe Norman]

I din't play Choppa, I never got that far

[peter_rs]

My bad moe..... shazza gave me wrong information.... can't get good help round here!

[goughy]

Here's a $1.00 pete, pass it along ;) :)

[AndyP]

AP I will keep both as I like the blinkies :) and my signature could be empty after the champs .The whole point of the userbars is to get rid of the blinkies.

[BrisVegas]

peter_rs is POTY, so he's the king. If that means we gotta put up with his fit-inducing signature, then so be it....

[peter_rs]

so if its a choice I will drop the userbar's back out. I was only being nice :)

[markTHEblake]

probably make sense to make them animated gifts. cos you blokes will get all cranky about how much space they will take up when i get 10 or more of them.

[AndyP]

so if its a choice I will drop the userbar's back out. I was only being nice :)What makes you think that you have a choice? :razz: I certainly don't see the point in having both.


probably make sense to make them animated gifts. Animateds are out. Painful to create and a bit annoying.

[Choppa]

On our side of the draw there are 2 games to be played by the champs. Me and DC, then the winner plays Vegas (not Rusty). More than enough time to get 2 matches played before a champs final.

If there September 30 deadline is enforced then I am out.

[peter_rs]

crap thats the last time I let shazza post under my login :) peteyd can you fix your draw image.

and have you say on the dead lines?

[PeteyD]

OK Updated. Ideally the final needs to played before or at the champs. This does mean that Chop and DC need to get their game done soon.

[markTHEblake]

not that its a good idea to wait that long, but given that there is two days at the champs, and everyone left in the matchplay is playing, then there is a fair chance things will sort itself out!

[peter_rs]

the rs & G69 match will be played asap once one or both of us get over injuries. hell could even be this week end ;)

[poidda]

Animateds are out. Painful to create and a bit annoying.

Hawthorn are out. Can you get rid of your userbar now?!?! ;)

[Choppa]

I have lost a bit of interest in this matchplay comp because of the length of time it's taken to get to my second match, so I am pulling the pin to give DC and Vegas plenty of time to get their match done.

Chop.

[BrisVegas]

nonsense chop. Plenty of time for a game. The semi & final can be played at the champs. so you only have to get a game sorted by mid-november.

[dc68]

Yeah come on chops. Lets get it sorted.

[Choppa]

Thanks guys, but I am just not going to be able to make it in time. I am a very busy boy between now and the champs.
It's all good though, DC would have wiped the floor with me anyway :(

[dc68]

:shock:


Highly unlikely.

[BrisVegas]

dc68 - do you wanna play our match on Saturday at the champs ?

I'm pretty busy at the moment too, and I haven't played Kooralbyn in 10 years, so it's a neutral venue for me.

[dc68]

Well seeing as I have played there 4-5 times this year and having another hit there on the 18th it sounds ok..... Seriously if we can play before then it would be preferable, last thing I want in a champs round is to be worrying about how the match is going. IF there is no option I have no problem with it though.

[PeteyD]

Bail out then 69er, we can slot Jarro back in ;)

[peter_rs]

G69 you never pm me to say you had pulled out ;)

I think we aim for at worse to have the finial played on sat or friday at the champs.

[Choppa]

This whole event is a joke...punters bailing left right and centre...its got no cred whatsoever...

Mate, it's not people bailing that's the problem, it's matches not being played on time that stuffs it all up. I played one match in May then I had to rush to get the next one played because of previous delays. Doesn't work for me so I bailed and I won't make the mistake of putting my name down next year.

[peter_rs]

put your name down choppa next year, I think dead lines have to stand.

[Grunt]

If I can offer any advise it would be to set out to have the Matchplay Draws done before Xmas and enforce the time limits. NSW has been a real hassle due to the difficulty in getting games organised. You guys have way more games than us down here so should have done this much easier. We will have our champ by the end of this week (Sunday).

[AndyP]

Both NSW and Qld have had forfeits, and Vic hasn't even really started. Not exactly a huge success, but I'd rather it stayed.

[goughy]

I agree. I think it'd be a shame for it to be dropped. This year was my first chance to play in it and I got rolled first round. I don't think enforcing the deadlines is gonna do anything other than cause forfeits since they are occuring anyway!

[poidda]

Yeah, the players just need to pull their finger out!

[mikezone13]

Yeah, the players just need to pull their finger out!

Or lose early and stop whinging ;)

[shazza_rs]

How bout if you dont intend to be available to play in the matchplay comp then don't bloody enter... its not freaking rocket science!

[Jarro]

Drop it, it's lost it's appeal

[markTHEblake]

where did all this talk about dropping the Matchplay come from. just because one player has pulled out?

There is already a discusson thread (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7932)about possible changes for next year to make it better. We could also rename it the Jarro Memorial.

[peter_rs]

I think just have it over a shorter time period so people can commit. eg we arrange games ever 2 weeks or something and all try and play on the same day. That way you know you have to commit for 4 games over 8 weeks. and its more of a tourney feel.

[Eag's]

I will be giving it a miss next year as well.

[goughy]

11th hole...both had a good old chop...jarro got unlucky with his approach..5 wins the hole and its handshake time..8 / 7.


Just reading the tiger woods stats etc, I noticed that he won this years matchplay 8/7. Does this mean out g-man's efforts were tiger in stature???

[dc68]

No it was better as tiger had 36 holes to play with....

**** that hurt to say.
