ACT Matchplay Challenge

[sms316]

I haven't even gone close to winning a net golf match so the challenge is laid out to tg01 and wbennent - two of the finest matchplay golfers in history.

Home and away format, so 6 matches in total. Scoring is 20 points for a win, 10 for a squared match, with a point per margin (eg 2&1 is 3 points, 5&3 8 points).

These 2 couldn't beat an egg - so surely this will be when I break my duck.

The matches, in no particular order;

[razaar]

What does the winner get besides "bragging rights"?

[tg01]

maybe Sunday week? 10th May (is that mothers day?). Not sure yet only 50/50

[sms316]

No good for me. Playing pennant semi this week, and after we beat Gold Creek the final will be on the 10th. If we lose, I will be in Albury.

Of course you could play pennant for Gold Creek this Sunday.

[WBennett]

ffs, are you clowns ever going to finish this thing?


ps - How about we all sneak out of work next Friday and play in the pro comp at Federal - no green fees for ACT players for May

[sms316]

Next Friday is no good for me - on a road trip to Hay/Albury (how exciting ). I do have Wednesday off though...

[tg01]

Gold Creek will flog you guys

Benno thats not too bad an idea, although I am taking tomorrow off to go to Melb for the footy.

Maybe in a couple of weeks time, late May might be workable?

[sms316]

Gold Creek will flog you guys

Maybe. After playing #1 in every game this year, I think I am playing #4 so I can draw that big turd Harris. Some serious order shuffle going on.

[tg01]

You're just soft cocking it, knowing how good GC #1 is....Harris playing 4 now? That team is pretty good

[sms316]

I'm doing nothing of the sort. I would love to play Mick (nobody is unbeatable).

We don't have the depth that GC do, so we are going to try to nail down 6&7 (with our 3&4), and play our 1&2 mid-order. As much as I hate throwing matches, this order has a lot of merit.

[WBennett]

Isn't Mick Gerstenberg just a ring in from Goulburn anyway?

I am available next Wednesday SMS - want me to try and get two spots at Federal?

[tg01]

Benno

They cored the greens in mid April and they haven't quite come back due to the cold weather. Maybe worth waiting a couple of weeks but then if its only the costs on comp fees worth a hit anyway.

[WBennett]

I have a week left until I go back to work - that's why next week looked good!

[sms316]

I'm keen for a hit. Only catch is I need to play between 8-8.30, or close as possible to 11am. Even happy to play GL. I thought the course changes there actually made the course a little more interesting.

[sms316]

Time for the monthly bump to see if tg01 is;

a) still alive
b) over his fear of being beaten by me
c) sick of watching Carlton playing like 22 'tards
d) all of the above

[tg01]

tg01 is:

a) Alive and now have time on my hands
b) There is a certain fear I have of you I will never get over
c) Sick of watching Carlton play like 22 'tards

So lets line something up

[sms316]

If you play Mon 8/6/09 at Gold Creek does that count as a home match for you?

[WBennett]

You blokes are never going to finish this comp off....

[sms316]

tg is soft. What can I say?

[parlyboy]

when parly gets his handicap....lookout. I can drive good and really good at 3 putting...awesome actually.

[schanop]

Where do you play Parly?

[tg01]

What about a mid week game? Anytime inthe comp over the next few weeks is good for me (except this week).

[Grunt]

So are you playing SMS on Monday TG01?

[tg01]

Nope it has to be at fuddies farm or Federal...

[Grunt]

Oh OK.

Where is Fuddie Farm, is that SMS's home track?

[sms316]

I've never heard Yowani referred to as the Fuddie Farm, although it is 100% spot on.

I'm happy to do a Qld, and give up my home match to play at Goldie. I've probably played it more than Yowani anyway.
