2010 WA Matchplay, lets hope we can keep one thread on track.... please

[adlo]

Great growth on the numbers, 15 entrants this year. Considering when I started this same thread last year I was expecting 4 WA OzGolfers. Good times.

Guys, a suggestion has been made to charge a nominal entry fee ($10) to cover the purchase and engraving of the WA Matchplay Cup (and get JC on there for 2009) as well as a prize for 1st and maybe something for 2nd. We have decided to run with this.

The list:

1. Adlo (14), tipped for 2010 glory.
2. Old man Simmsy (17), man of many words. The first person to be eliminated from the 2010 matchplay in 2009
3. Rowdy Roddy TourFat (9)
4. Mega-ShoeHo-Watty (11), the revolving WITB-man.
5. Cwazy Canuck (6), the 2009 WA OzGolf dominator.
6. Yossarian (19), no chance when his real handicap catches up with him. Will it ever?!?
7. iTree 3.0 (13), new and improved for 2010, will be updated with ability actually close out a match with less than a triple bogey.
8. Zuesgolfer (14), now permitted to join, has legitimate ownership of "the straightest driver ever"
9. SeldomEagles (23), brown cardigan wearing closet ho.
10. Pieface (25), Bobby Locke was called "old muffin face" you know.
11. Uncle Kumquat Nuts (24), or is it Lowball-Nuts?
12. The Nuffinator (7), has super human talking abilities.
13. Veefore (8 ), trying desperately to increase the numbers from Hartfield, even though they still have no chance.
14. TopDog (14), it is all about quality, not quantity.
15. Bruce Dickinson (11), hoping to redeem the shame that came with his scratching in 2009.

I have added current handicaps in brackets. Please let me know if any of the handicaps are incorrect, most have been done from memory.

Topdog and Pieface will be using WAGL handicaps.
Golfnut is using his "OzGolf" monitored handicap. Just so no one feels robbed playing him, we have allowed him to use this handicap in OzGolf events.
The rest are AGU handicaps.

The draw:


The cut-off dates are the end of the month.

Round 1 cut off is 28/2/2010
Round 2 cut off is 30/4/2010
Round 3 cut off is 30/6/2010
Round 4 cut off is 31/8/2010
Final to be played by 31/10/2010

This will be enforced. In exceptional circumstances we will look at extending dates. However, as we have quite a few rounds to get through, we need to be pretty strict.

Please use this thread for updates and scheduled matches only. Please do not use this thread to discuss where and when you plan on playing. Do this by PM. If you want to invite fellow OzGolfers to play, ie create an "OzGolf day", do this in a new 1st tee thread.

I don't want this thread to be impossible to navigate. If it gets off topic I will ask for one of our lovely mods to delete irrelevant posts.

Let the games begin!!!!

[Nuffie]

Next round at KB.

KB would be awesome for this match if it happens, as it's been a while since we've both played there.

It would be a valuable test for our games atm, showing where they are really at right now. Particularly, if we play from the blues or blacks.

You are right, it's even fairer that we do this at KB, because our first dule was at Hartfield and I may have had some local advantage. KB would even things up completely.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. Bruce still hasn't officially stepped down (despite contemplating it a few months ago).

[Yossarian]

Heya bruce and not long enough, any progress to report?

[Johnny Canuck]

Bruce, contact Nuffie asap.

[Yossarian]

But allow for a long phone call.

[Johnny Canuck]

Be sure to change ears every 5 or so.

[Bruce Dickinson]

Unfortunately I haven't got time for this, I'm out.

[adlo]

OK cheers for the honesty BD. The world now waits for JC and Pieface. Please lock in a date gents, you are well behind schedule.

[Yossarian]

You mean nuffie and JC. I can see why you would get pieface and nuffie confused they are pretty much the same height.

[idgolfguy]

Sitting down!

[Johnny Canuck]

OK cheers for the honesty BD. The world now waits for JC and Pieface. Please lock in a date gents, you are well behind schedule.

We had a result before you lost guys did

[Pieface]

He was not gentle

JC and I will accept our apology in caffeine form Don Adlo

[adlo]

Ah yes, you had a result the same day as us. JC, you are procrastinating from playing Nuffie, aren't you?

Gents, please lock in semi-final dates, you are behind schedule!!

[idgolfguy]

Are we taking bets?

[Yossarian]

KB double header?

[Johnny Canuck]

We'll be off the same handicap soon and the KB double header sounds great.

[Yossarian]

I would have serious issues with playing you, after i defeat mega, if you have to give me less than ten shots.

[Johnny Canuck]

Putting lesson on hold.

[Yossarian]

Ha. I will smash all of you.

[Nuffie]

We should book this match soon, maybe even for a day next weekend at Kennedy Bay pending JC's availability.

This is because I've got a few weeks of away work scheduled in for October, first at Christmas Island for a week and then Kalgoorlie for another two weeks.

The matchplay schedule has already been delayed enough and I dont want to be responsible for holding it up even more.

[MegaWatty]

I am going to struggle getting games with a new work schedule seeing me out of Perth fairly regularly.

[Johnny Canuck]

Kb was cored this past Monday. Give it a few weeks.

[Golfnut]

Looks like GN moves back in contention by default......

[Yossarian]

We'll sort something out Mega.

Maybe we could sneak down to Mandurah so you can play it.

[MegaWatty]

Thanks mate. That's very sweet of you.

[Nuffie]

Kb was cored this past Monday. Give it a few weeks.

Definitely, wouldn't be worth the trip to KB with sand all over the greens. A few weeks it will be.
