If you go out to 5, you'll be a burglar. If you go well, it will be deemed a sneaky practice round. It looks bad on you either way.

[Lucasto23]

at least you guys will drive the ball as far as one another of the tee

12 doesn't look right for you either Andy. I always think of you as an 8-9 hcap.

[Eag's]

Yeah AP speaking of burglars

[AndyP]

12 doesn't look right for you either Andy. I always think of you as an 8-9 hcap.

Don't we think that of all players?

Reaching 9 once may have been a fluke, as I have shown since. I'm not giving that milestone back though.

I think I play alright for a runner. It's a little weird that I've got to the final in the year that golf is less of a priority than previous years.

[lucky]

Either 7 or 8 shots - you will win for sure. Too many shots to give up to someone who should be off 8 or 9?

[AndyP]

Agreed. I'll get them to put my name on the medal now, shall I?

Lucky isnt that long?

Honestly you dont often see two golfers play similar games that have vastly different handicaps, both have the temperment of Hogan, play within themselves like Zac Johnson, and have beaten classy opponents to get there.

I can't believe you chumps are pissing all over tradition and not playing this at the champs. Woeful!! and it reeks of selfishness!!!

I asked the same question:

Is there a reason the matchplay final is on the Friday, and not the Saturday of the actual champs?

[AndyP]

Both of your comments are stupid.

[markTHEblake]

Both of your comments are stupid.

agreed. There was never any intention that the matchplay final be played at the champs, it is to be played 'by the champs'.

its just that the first matchplay the two chumps were too useless to organise playing anywhere else, and almost the rest followed.

the champs is simply a viable alternative as most notable ozgolfers play in it.

The old saying - "it is not how long it is how many"

[lucky]

At least it allows AndyP to have the matchplay done and dusted and then can focus on the champs.

[Jarro]

Go Lucky !!!!

[gregh]

go lucky,dont mind saying that i got beat by the winner

[markTHEblake]

I couldnt imagine anything worse than getting beaten by the guy that got beaten by Andyp

[BrisVegas]
