OzGolf Matchplay - Tournament conditions and nominations.

[markTHEblake]

Well seeings everyone is excited about this,  here we go.

Ozgolf Matchplay Rules.

updates in Bold 18/05/05

1.  Major event:  Regions.   The event will be played out in different regions, eg Sydney, SEQ, and so on.   If any area can come up with the numbers (ie 8)  then go ahead and join in.

2.  Minor Event: National Titles.  The winner of the largest region has the right to host a national title against other finalists at time and place of his/her reasonable choosing, or whatever, this is not the main event.

3. Individuals will arrange their own matches at a mutually agreed course.  Its expected No golfer will insist on playing at their own club (see #4: appeal).  In the interests of camaraderie try and stick to official Ozgolf days.

4.  There will be a set date for each round of matches to be played.  If a match is not played both competitors are disqualified, unless one forfeits.  A player may appeal this to the committee should he think the opponent did not make fair effort to arrange a match.
Approx 1 to 2 months will be given to arrange a match, about 12 months for the whole event.

After round 1,  any player who withdraws from the event, his previous opponent takes his place - time permitting.

5.  Full AGU Handicap as at the date of the match applies, verifiable by golf link or other official source.    AGU matchplay index to be used, download here  www.theblake.net/ftp/MatchplayIndex.pdf

Note: The index applies in accordance with the order that your match plays the holes.  The 1st hole on the matchplay index is your First hole, even if you tee of the 10th.  See explanatory notes and index this page.

6. The matches will be seeded as per the POTY money list as at date of the draw. If golfers are not on the money list then seeded according to number of posts to forum, then by random.

7. Matches halved at the 18th hole to be played sudden death.  Where this is not feasable, work something out or replay another day.

8. Cost is $2 per player per match except the final.   1st, 2nd and 3rd will receive a winners check of 60%, 30% and 10% respectively.  Money to be deposited to a bank account somewhere.

Note: if matches are played in conjunction with other Ozgolf days, the matchplay money will be offset against the other money,  ie the higher amount only will be paid.

10. Nominations to be received by the 20/3/05,  draw will be released by 31/3/05.  Please nominate your freinds if you know that they will want to play, and we can see if we can kick it off earlier.

11. Eligibility,  Ozgolf members and their partners/families. No ring ins.

12. Numbers in each pool should be limited to 4,8, 16, 32 etc.  To fit as many in as we can, there will either be a small number of byes in the first round, or a small number of reserves.  eg if there are 14 players, there will be two byes,  if 19 players there will be 3 reserves.

14. Sponsorship welcome.  

15. Suggestions please

Yes Blakey if I had of known my work situation was going to change, then I would not of entered in the first place.

I wasnt being personal, apologies if it seemed that way.

Of course you didnt know, its not possible that anybody would have known.


I dont think anyone needs a chill pill anyway - its just being a sledge feast, between a bunch of big manly aussie blokes who needed to let out some tension but are too scared to get involved in the sex, religion and politics thread.

[markTHEblake]

2nd round match? I thought we were talking about a 3rd round match.

Oh heck much ado about nothing. RTFM - Gazgolf gets a walkover.

[Fishman Dan]

Has this cooled off yet?

If i pull out give Spiers a walkover on Sunday (regardless of whether i play on Sunday or not), will this bur-up again? Please?

I'll let Shaz or Peter take my lucky loser spot if you can get the Bayview by Sunday morning..

[AndyP]

Ok people this has got a bit out of hand

Disagree.
I thought we were just discussing the rules in general. The rules as they are stand. The time for changing them was at the start.
We can always make them better next year.

[BrisVegas]

damoocow - I sent you a PM about a possible game on Sunday arvo...

Don't know about you, but I forgot about the Sept 30 deadline, so we need to get our game sorted ASAP.

Ahem...

Mr. Chairman, members of the Matchplay Committee.... On behalf of my matchplay oppent, Mr Moocow, I humbly seek an extension of time to play our quarter final match til the 30th October. Both Mr Moocow and I had forgotten about the 30th September deadline (for which we're both truly sorry ), but we're hastily making plans for a mutually agreeable weekend golf day for our our match to occur. At this stage, we have tentatively agreed upon Sunday 30th October as the date for our match.

Pending the committee's acquiesence to our request, a 1st tee thread will be started for a concurrent ozgolf day, venue TBA.

Humbly,
B. Vegas.

[AndyP]

Apparently I'm a member of the matchplay committee.

So I vote to accept your request for a time extension.

Hmmm, October 30 seems to be pushing it a bit late.  This thing is meant to be finished before or during the Champs.  That would only leave a few weeks for the next two matches.

I get the feeling that nothing is happening with the Iain/Gaz match either.

Jarro and I are replaying ours this coming Wednesday.

cheers Andy. We're trying to get something sorted before then, but we both have weekend commitments to work around... If only I could play midweek like Tez and Jarro....

There's a possibility for a game on the day after the Holden Scramble at Windaroo, wives permitting... Worst case, both of us had the 30th free...

I can't see why the finals can't be played at the champs, which means there's all of November for the semi's.

[Jarro]

Tezza got me 5 & 3 today at Nudgee.

well played Tezza

[AndyP]

well played Tezza

Commmiserations, jarro.
Was he on fire or were you off your game? Or a bit of both.

At least I can take heart out of having a smaller loss to him on a neutral course now. :P

well, i think he was 2 over off the stick after 9 holes ... so i guess you could say there wasn't much i could do about things

although he did get the wobbles up on the back 9, and if i didn't have a horror 13th hole, i might have got back to within 1 of him.

[3oneday]

well, i think he was 2 over off the stick after 9 holes ... so i guess you could say there wasn't much i could do about things  

soo, he was playing to his handicap then ???

:P :P

Bad luck mate, but at least you made it this far
Well played Tezza =D>

[markTHEblake]

Ok Tex, I dont have a lot of spare time these days and i forgot when the champs are on so it had better be sooner than later. I'll be in touch with my schedule soon. Can you play weekdays?

The only other question is shall we play Emerald Lakes with my home track advantage, or at Windaroo with your home track disadvantage.

How about we take my home track disadvantage,only because its halfway between both of us.

[Flowergirl]

Result of The Victorian Matchplay...........we don't muck around down here.....
Flowergirl pipped Bruceboy on the last hole.

Bring it on boys and girls.

haha, yeah right

torrid encounters with Peter_rs and Keza must've taken all the gas outta me, i had none left for Tezza

[BrisVegas]

30/10/05 - gazgolf def. BrisVegas 2 up

33 + 43 = 76 Gaz
44 + 38 = 82


Well done Gaz, you deserved the win. =D>

I'm happy to have made you play 18 holes after what looked a white-wash early on. 5 up through 6 is pretty demoralising and I was thinking I would only be playing 12 holes. I can't believe how bad I started! Thankfully I made a few pars and started putting better around the back to keep you honest.

Good luck in the final.

[markTHEblake]

30/10/05 - gazgolf def. BrisVegas 2 up

33 + 43 = 76 Gaz
44 + 38 = 82

that front 9 looks scary...... on paper that could have beeen close to a 10/8

and an interesting point - the final 4 players in the matchplay appear to be the 4 lowest handicappers. So much for the burglars, the cream has rightfully risen to the TOP!

[BrisVegas]

It was on the cards.

Thankfully we halved 7,8,9,10,11,12,13 before I won 14,15,16,17 to be 1 down dormie on the last.

[gazgolf1]

Fun day at Wynnum today.
I had a good front nine with all the breaks going my way and a birdie-birdie start always helps.
Then Brisvegas turned it on with pars on 14,15, hitting the pin on the short 16th and draining a clutch 8 footer for the bird and the hole.Then he gets up and down on 17 and wins another hole.
After I unpuckered I parred the last for the win .
Eags had flashes of brilliance while putting lefthanded and booming some looong high-cut drives.
Thanks to the Hackers social club for allowing us to join in and take some of their prizes.
