7. rebjon- now known as Zuesgolfer
8. qbnchopper - scratched, never around OzGolf

New entrants:

9. Yossarian
10. TourFit - gawn

OK so round 1 ends up being: (winners in RED)

Match 1: adlo def Golfnut 5 & 3
Match 2: Johnny Canuck def simmsy 1 up
Match 3: idgolfguy lost to TourFit 1 down

Round 3, Grand final:

Yossarian vs. Johnny Canuck, 5 & 4 at Mt Lawley GC 13/12/09

[Johnny Canuck]

You were a member at Kennedy for ages, so it isn't 100% home course advantage. Granted, I have been there longer.

KBay is easy, as I should be able to swing a cart for it. Worst case Ontario, have price. If it is a sunny day, we should have no problem finishing before they "close".

I can still test the waters with my Secret connection, but the few times I went, I was followed by security who was collecting the pins, so they too close a little early. This was months ago, before it got dark much later.

I have no problem beating Yoss at a neutral venue. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Even with my handicap decreasing by 20% in the past week and his only by 12%, I will overcome these seemingly insurmountable odds and beat him on any course, with the exception of Freo public.

Best case scenario, I beat you soon and then take out Yoss at Mt. Lawley, if I can make it.

I have played KB enough to not cry foul if I lose. I was referring to the final.

Secret Harbour is a crap track for matchplay IMO, much happier with the sundowner at KB.

Next Wednesday, 3pm?

[Yossarian]

If I play JC I want to play him on a course with lots of ladies on it so he gets kicked off before we finish and he has to concede.

[Pieface]

I'll be collecting my $.50 at the next golf day.

Darned TF!

Assuming you saw this JC?

[Johnny Canuck]

Yep. Should be good. Have already called to check and it's a go. Hopefully cheap rates for you too.

[adlo]

Cool, pencilled in, will wait for your confirmation.

[Yossarian]

Want some company?

[Johnny Canuck]

Worst case Ontario, we have to play the last few holes without flags. We may also have to move our cars outside the gate. We'll go in one car, to keep it simple if it arises. On a warmer day with more golfers, it should be open later too.

[adlo]

No offense, but I think we will be against the clock depending what time JC can get off work, so maybe not.

I'll leave it up to the "worker".

[Johnny Canuck]

You asking to be my caddy?

Would love it, but time is of the essence. We'll be a little pressed.

[Yossarian]

Ah didn't think of that, no worries guys. I'll play freo public instead.

[Johnny Canuck]

watch out for that tree, George, George, George of the Jungle...

[Yossarian]

Haha, great movie, what is it about chicks and horses.

[Johnny Canuck]

Getting close to 4000 Yoss, be careful!

[Yossarian]

Its alright I've got some plans for post 4000.

[adlo]

If I go down in the semi, I will offer up my services as caddy for the final.

[Yossarian]

Do we have to fight for you? I could be interested in a photo of you carrying my bag while I stroll down a particularly scenic fairway.

[Johnny Canuck]

Maybe he carries both bags, like a Sherpa.

Yoss' handicap is bad enough. He doesn't need course management help!

[Yossarian]

You've seen me play, I'm gonna need all the shots I can get! I get aldo!

[adlo]

A second caddy may appear, that was my hope anyways.

This might take place at Mt Lawley, and my caddy services will be taken off the table.

[adlo]

The conclusion of the saga draws near. Excel attachment in OP edited.

2nd semi final to be played tomorrow.

Its Adlo vs. Johnny Canuck. The wild beard vs. The groomed beard. Australia vs. Canada. Buddy vs. Fwend. Bushnell vs Leupold.

Winner to take on Yossarian. Possibly at Mt Lawley. Must be wrapped up in 2009!!

Odds?

I'd have them pretty close, probably a slight advantage to the Canadian, on his beloved home soil and a crappy round out of his system last Saturday. Will he bounce back? I don't know guy.

Johnny Canuck $1.80
Adlo $2.20

[Johnny Canuck]

Skins, pins and long putts for added fun?

[adlo]

Indeed!

[Yossarian]

I wait with bated breath fwend. Go Adlo! And JC! I don't know who gives me a better chance...
