WA 2009 Matchplay Final, Mt Lawley, 13/12, Can the Canuck make it a clean sweep?
OK,
While I am disappointed I am not in the final, I am breathing a sigh of relief that we finally got to the point of having a final by the end of the year.
2009 has been a big year for WA OzGolfers.
The inaugural Sandgroper Champs
The inaugural WA Matchplay
Having more than 3 WA OzGolfers posting on the forums
And who can forget the countless threadjacks (apart from 3OD who ignored them all)
So the final event for the year is here and attendance has been locked in!
Johnny Canuck (4) vs Yossarian (22)
17 shots. Can the cwazy canadian somehow muster enough internet money? Will Yossarian buckle under pressure and collapse like an Aldila DVS noodle?
The Canuck is trying to make it a clean sweep of all the "WA Majors".
Mt Lawley GC, Sunday December 13, 2009.
What a great course to play this thing. I am in like Flynn to watch this and "score".
My book would be running:
JC $1.80
Yoss $2.20
JC is a fierce competitor who seemingly can will the ball to do what he wants. Yoss is a high handicapper capable of golf much better (and much worse) than his handicap. Which Yoss will we see Sunday?
Let the sledging begin!!

17 shots is a pretty handy start, particularly if Yoss can putt and JC has an off day. Of course it could go the other way with Yoss speeding up and trying too hard. This is a toughie........no idea.
Consciousness and awareness - awareness is being aware of what is happening and being aware of what is happening within ourselves while we are conscious. Where did I leave my glasses?

JC has too much game, too much experience under pressure and too much matchplay smarts.
Go Yoss!

Wear something very bright and distracting Yoss.

In all honesty, I would consider making Yoss a slight favourite based on handicaps alone.
From what I have seen, he is a much better golfer than his inflated-I've-only-ever-played-one-comp-round handicap.
My match play experience and the fact that my game is suited to match play should hopefully keep it close enough to pull out a victory.

High temps forecast for Sunday ~ 37C - Will the Canuck melt without the cooling breezes of KB??
If Yoss turns up with his head screwed on he'll be forcing JC to birdie to score with a shot a hole. I think Yoss will win 3 and 2...that could be the touch of death however

At first, I thought that was directed at me after I gave a guy shit this past weekend for that.
No happy feet Yoss. He was fine the time I played Mandurah with him.

I'd bring my tap shoes on that basis Yoss go for the psyche!
...and maybe some running shoes.

I think the match will be won on the greens. Apparently they are rolling pretty fast. JC is a strong putter. If he can roll in a few bombs (which we know he can do) it will put a lot of pressure on Yoss' flat stick.
I don't think either Yoss or JC will struggle with the rest of Mt Lawley. Tee to green it is quite open and there aren't too many long holes.

Don't worry. I won't putt until he is still or has moved. I have no problem backing off putts.

It must have been a tough choice for zig on who to barrack for. JC in his Pro Shop threads, me in the cricket threads. It shows how dear dougie is to his heart
I also think it will be the greens that will decide it. And having seen JC putt I am a little worried. I will try to make it epic though!

After much thought, the odds are now looking like this.
If Yossarian has 35 putts OR LESS
Yossarian $1.60
Johnny Canuck $2.50
If Yossarian has 36 putts OR MORE
Johnny Canuck $1.70
Yossarian $2.40

Apparently Mt Lawley is slick at the moment. Hence my revision.
