    Default NSW Matchplay Final - Jimandr V Grunt - October 29 - Windsor Country GC

    Jimandr wins 3 & 2

    Where: Windsor Country Golf Club

    When: 29th October 2008

    Tee Time: 8am

    The Final is here, NSW Matchplay Champion 2005,2006 & 2007 V the underdog.
    Can I knock Jim off his perch and do what other have failed to do for over 3 years now? Beat him?
    Or will he do what he always does and grinds out a win for title number 4.

    We all shall see, hopefully the match will be held before the champs.

    Camden Results

    1. Jimandr 32 Points
    2. Grunt 28 Points
    Windsor Result

    I doubt them because I have successfully used them!

    There are many people in this world smarter and with a quicker wit than me. You may be one of them. Fishman Dan is not.

    But Jim is older than you, so he gets more respect, as such, I'm predicting a 3&2 win to the elder statesman.

    I seem to have missed a few things by living a normal life today instead of spending it in front of a computer screen.

    Do I need to get involved in these trivial pre-match discussions? No. Grunt can psych himself out without my help.

    But if there are no bacon and egg rolls at Studley tomorrow I will take it very personally.

    I was planning to arrive about 9.30, but I may have to get there early to do a mercy dash into Camden. There must be a bacon and egg roll shop there somewhere.

    So close but yet so far!!

    Match Drawn

    Replay to be announced soon, maybe at the FOS Game or last option is for Dunheved on 31st October.

    Bad putting cost us both the match with me missing a 7 footer for the win on the last. I only got the lead on the last tee after being as much as 3 down early and 2 down at the turn.

    Jim will no doubt post a report later today.

    Replays have been played before, why change now? Last years final for Jim was a replay then sudden death after 36 holes.

    Fair enough. I wasn't aware of the protocol.

    Are you gonna be Cronulla, or Manly?!

    Sorry for the delay in posting. I've just watched Dannii Minogue singing 'This is it' on Musicmax. A tune I never thought any music station would ever dare to play again. No golfing experience comes close to that.

    Anyway, the match was an epic, with lots of choking at the end.

    I won the first three holes, and I was playing well while Grunt was playing badly. From that point we both played OK without shooting the lights out, but I lost all short game confidence down the stretch. If I wasn't on in reg, I wasn't getting a par, and Grunt was playing well enough to get bogeys and win the holes he got shots on.

    The turning point was 15. I was 1 up, on a hole with no giving away a shot. Grunt hit a bad drive, then a freak second that hit a tree-stake and went sideways. He was 200m away in two while I was sitting pretty 150m out in one. He hit a great shot, but even then may have been lucky to get through trees to 10m short. I did what I'd done all day, and missed the green, this time into the bunker. Grunt got up and down for his bogey, I didn't get up and down from the bunker. Still 1 up.

    He had a shot on 16 and won it. All square. Then we both missed identical 4 footers on 17, but mine was for bogey, so I'm now one down and in deep despair.

    On 18 I played two good shots to 10 feet from the hole. Grunt missed the green but played a great chip to 6 feet. Naturally I missed my birdie, but Grunt also missed.

    Neither of us have reason to be overjoyed, as we both butchered the win, but at least I live again to defend.

    Two years in a row the NSW Final isn't decided in the first 18 holes. Amazing. Last year it went to 38. Could it happen again?

    It is all down to round 2 @ Windsor this Wednesday. Only change looks to be me being off 17 this time. Will 8 shots instead of 7 be enough to unseat the Champ? I had a good practice run yesterday against TG01 who was also off 9.

    Shouldn't you play off the same handicap as the first match?

    I asked Jim this and he said current handicap on the day was fine with him. I also told him I would more than likely be off 17 due to the fact I would play more than once and was off 16.4 at the Camden game.

    Ripped off again!

    Last year in the replay I lost a shot and Mike got one back, so there was a two shot difference. I guess the precedent was set then.

    I don't know my exact handicap, and to some extent I don't want to. I certainly don't want to get a shot back, because it will send me into double figures for the first time in many years. I don't want to find out that I'm on 9.4. I think the pressure of 'needing' to break handicap would be far greater than any matchplay stuff.

    I'd prefer to have a good game. I suspect one shot won't make any difference, no matter what happens.

    I hope the sequel is as exciting as the first shootout.

    Except that Jim is a master matchplayer and TG is the matchplay equivelant of Magda Szubanski at the Miss Universe Pageant.

    Club champs have one round to go there, one of my mates reckons the course is in outstanding nick. Just perfect for an event of this magnitude !

    Time for the rematch.

    Can I go 1 step further tomorrow and beat Jim?
    It will be my first game at Windsor so not sure if the track suits me or is one that will tear me a new arsehole. We shall see after a few holes the answers should be known. Not 100% certain that Jim has played there before either.
