simmsy and JC, well done playing this match. I fear a few games are going to be won by default. It will be a shame to see one of you knocked out in the first round.

[simmsy]

game on.

also buck closest to the pins that carry over and $2 longest putt of the day.

might as well give you that $2 on the first tee!
While i don't 3 putt to often on my home track I can't remember the last time i drained anything from outside 10' and I'm expecting to have some ridiculously long putts on sunday.

[Johnny Canuck]

rebjon took the cash on saturday with about a 10-12 footer.

[adlo]

Simmsy you should be a dynamite putter playing at Hartfield

[simmsy]

sadly i am not.
i desperately need to spend some quality time on my putting and stop worrying about my driving so much.
thought to self -
practice putting
practice putting
practice putting!!

[adlo]

Found that extra 10m with the driver yet?

Hitting and running backwards is NOT an option.

[simmsy]

Hitting and running backwards is NOT an option.

is too!!



I've just got my mx-500 reshafted yesterday and so far looks the goods. Alot flatter flight than the xls still flying same distance atleast and getting some roll out on the soft ky fairways.

[simmsy]

0940 teeoff.

I'll be happy to see the 15 hole!

Johnny Canuck - $1.03
Simmsy - $5.60 and drifting in the market.

I checked your Golflink and with a couple of 39 pointers on there, I'd be putting some money on you with those odds. 13 strokes is a lot to give up!

you won't be happy to see the 15th hole if it is playing into the wind.

39 pointers!!
you obviously didn't look hard enough to see my 41's and my 43 when i was dq'd and would have won the comp.
into the wind is easy, left to right freaks me out though

[Johnny Canuck]

why the dq? cheater?

[adlo]

why the dq? cheater?

Simmsy in action

[simmsy]

oh c'mon, im no kenny perry that's for sure!
that was shocking work by him, why didn't he get out the hedge trimmers and take the grass down another couple of inches!!!


nah, didn't check my partners score card properly so dq'd for scores not being the same on both cards.

[simmsy]

Hey Adlo!!
You get to have a hit with JC a bit.
I'm looking for a few tips to playing against him, you know like should i wear a frilly dress on the day?
My personal favourite would be a Lobby to the knee cap on the first tee! see how good he goes then hey!!!!

[adlo]

Relax and make some pars on the holes you get shots. He is at a distinct disadvantage giving away so many shots. You should get shots on 1,2,4,5,6,7,9 on the front 9 and 1,2,4 and 7 should be par holes for you. Put the pressure back on him to have to make birdies.

Oh, and don't relax if he is off the fairway or in deep scrub, he knows how to get outta jail.

just keep asking what part of the good old USA he's from

[simmsy]

he's from Texas isn't he!

[adlo]

Just keep telling him he looks wiped OOT, or that you are OOT to beat him, or that Stephen ABOOTman wants some internet money!

[Johnny Canuck]

he's from Texas isn't he!

Aldo, there are different holes for match play.

I hope the winds are up like today, Simmsy will run oot of balls before we get to the tenth tee.

[adlo]

I looked at the matchplay index. You have no idea what you are talking aboot.

I will admit, I didn't even really read what holes you mentioned. Basically, Simmsy will get shots everywhere. What holes doesn't he get?

[adlo]

Cheers, I'm glad you ignore what I say.

Answer: 3, 8, 12, 14, 16

[Johnny Canuck]

lovely. great holes to not get shots on.
