Jono vs Scottt $100 per skin

[Jono]

Thanks for your concern. He asked me a question and I answered it. Slag my swing off all you like. When I get home we can play scratch skins for $100 a hole?

Scottt lay down the challenge and I accepted.

Possibly the biggest purse in an Ozgolf event.

I PM'd Scottt to organise a time and a place ...

He's coming back to Oz in 18 months.

Anyway I thought I'd put it up here. Time and venue still to be decided. Other Ozgolfers welcome.

[Scottt]

Huge amount of good your pretty swing does you. What is it you play off, again?

[Iain]

This thread's gonna be huge by the time this match might happen......

[Scottt]

I was thinking that, Iain. It will either die by the end of next week or just keep on keeping on.

[Iain]

Knowing this place Scott, it'll keep on keeping on!!

[Scottt]

And not without taking some strange and wonderful turns, possibly involving narwhals...

[Jono]

Nothing pretty about my swing.

But it's good enough to beat you off the stick.

Earlier you play me, the better chance you have. I've only started playing again after a long lay off so I'm rusty at best.

So stop this 18 month bull shit and get your ass over here.

[Scottt]

Not a chance, you'll have to make the lure stronger than $900 to get me on a plane back there to beat you before the end of 2010.

C'mon Jono, you have dedicated years to the endless pursuit of the perfect swing, dabbled with plenty of theories and to the best of my knowledge, following an intensive lesson program, you managed to get down to 7.

I have been ignorantly swiping it around off 9 without regard for what the club does between takeaway and impact. That is slowly changing, but matchplay or skins is my game - my rounds of +9 routinely include two doubles and a triple.

I'm confident of taking my $900 home with me, along with enough of yours to head down to Barny Dunes for a looksee.

Given though that you and I have never had the pleasure of playing together, it's really only Virge, M3J, Andrew, Grunt, 3OD, Ping and Jim who can provide any sort of reasonable prediction as to how this thing will play out.

I'm getting twitchy already....

Mate, you're the one that threw down the challenge ...

Does that sound like someone who is talking about a game 18 months away?

You're all talk Scottt. You want to somehow compare my game to yours by reading what's posted here? And you are saying you have "more potential" because you haven't had lessons?

If you wanna talk the talk, come down and walk the walk.

[henno]

Can I also waive my doodle in this thread?

[Scottt]

You don't think issuing the challenge is a good start?

But I ain't cutting short a two year working holiday for a game of golf. By the same token, I am happy to play you over here if you're so keen to lose your $$$$ (or ££ as the case would be) sooner rather than later

What's the lowest handicap you've held, just out of interest?

[Scottt]

Can I also waive my doodle in this thread?

Only if it's between Mrs Henno's bits in the pic.















Not fussed which bits

[Ned]

You garna bring her as the caddie at the end of May Henno ?????

Mate, you are full of crap. You issued the challenge to play for money here. Now you tell me it's in 18 months. Bit of a backpedal, don't you think?

As to the lowest handicap I've ever held, it's irrelevant. We're playing off scratch.

[henno]

She'd probably come along given the chance.

[Iain]

But he did say 'when I get home'??

[Iain]

I hope you 2 keep the fluids up, this is going to be a long pissing contest!!

[henno]

Considering he left only a few months ago, I took it as meaning quite some time before his return.

But the challenge is there, and so is this thread. Me and my narwhals will make sure this thread stays active for as long as it takes

[Iain]

And as off-topic as possible?

[Ned]

Winner winner chicken dina

[Ned]

bump!

[henno]

What can I say. Everyone's gotta be good at something, and I suck at golf.

[Dotty]

Jono, you even mentioned the 18 month timeframe, in your opening post last night.

But I think Scottt could get himself banned by then anyway.


Go Doc.

[Jono]

Jono, you even mentioned the 18 month timeframe, in your opening post last night.

Yeah ... I sent him a PM to organise the date and venue ... I couldn't believe it when he said 18 months.

I could have kids by then and change my handler to kidsstolemytimenomoregolfforme ...
