Match play Semi Final: Johnny Canuck vs. NUFFIE - Sat Nov 6, 9AM - Kennedy Bay

[Johnny Canuck]

It's officially on like Donkey Kong.

The People's Champion.

The Defending Champion.

Loved by the ladies.

Admired by the men.

Johnny Canuck brings his royal sexiness to his home away from home, The Links Kennedy Bay to take on,

The King of CAPITALISATION,

The Master of the run-on sentence,

The escapee of Middle Earth,

The Frodo Baggins stunt double,

NUFFIEthegolfman.

The Nuffster has the advantage of 1 stroke. Will this be enough?

Only time will tell.

Due to that fact that we are at the back of the comp, yours truly, the natural charmer, will provide live updates (unless I'm losing).

Winner gets:

The Doctor of the hook,

The man who's colour rhymes with Borange,

The man who when he worked in Subway always got hit with "Make me a sanga, ranga!",

Megawatty in the finals.

Who is ready to face the Coq? (besides Yoss)

Tune in tomorrow to find out.

Agree with the Old Man there

[Nuffie]

Credit to JC playing so well on his former home track.

His approach into 18 was the best wind cheating iron shot I've seen in my life, from 150 out and into a 3 -4 club wind.

However myself being "blown" away sounds about right, I know now how Dorothy felt in the Wizard of Oz when that twister hit Kansas:

Except in my case "it definitely wasn't hartfield (not Kansas) anymore todo "

[idgolfguy]

Agree with the Old Man there

Down to the 19th speaks volumes for both of the competitors.

[adlo]

So do we now call Nuffie Dorothy?

[Nuffie]

One day, hopefully the wind cheater. But that's gonna take some work...

[Nuffie]

Down to the 19th speaks volumes for both of the competitors.

This was my first time down the 19th, but no excuse when you have someone 5 down and eventually dormy 4.

[mike]

Dormie 4

Gawn.

Dormie 3

Still gawn.

Dormie 2

Surely not.

Dormie 1

wtf?

Jesus Christ Nuffie, just close it out you homo!

This made me lol. Not often I actually lol in front of the computer but I lol'd at this.

all square

Comeback complete. 1 up. 19th hole
bring on rhymes with borange.

Holy cow, what a comeback.

Well played sir.

[Yossarian]

Wow. Well played both dudes, that is some shooting on the front nuffie!

Would've been good to watch!

Well done to JC, wanker.

[Nuffie]

Gawn.

Still gawn.

Surely not.

wtf?

This made me lol. Not often I actually lol in front of the computer but I lol'd at this.



Holy cow, what a comeback.

Well played sir.

Yep. This guy CAN play.

[Yossarian]

If anyone has time for a shot by shot run down I would appreciate it.

[mike]

Nuffie. Last 5 holes. Him good or you bad or both?

[MegaWatty]

Nuffie. Last 5 holes. Him good or you bad or both?

Exactly what I was thinking. What JC shoot on the last 5?

FYI Mike. The last 5 at KB are traditionally straight into the wind. And it's always a decent wind there.

When you coming over? We can compare Dragons jumpers throughout the years. I have two classics with signatures. Plus the legends framed one.

[Nuffie]

Wow. Well played both dudes, that is some shooting on the front nuffie!

Would've been good to watch!

Well done to JC, wanker.

Yeah, was even after 9, then 7 over after 16 and finished 16 over after 18.

I still look at my playing card whilst sitting here at home, it will take me weeks to comprehend what went wrong.

He just kept coming and coming, when he made the par on wee tap (16th) it hit me like a tonne of bricks.

I was descimated....coz I played my downhill putt cautiously and simply didn't expect him to make his.

[MegaWatty]

He just kept coming and coming.

Wee Tap can certainly make or break a match!

[Yossarian]

Wee Tap can certainly make or break a match!

**** you.

And that was an awesome 9 iron in.

[mike]

Exactly what I was thinking. What JC shoot on the last 5?

Yeah c'mon. Gettin' late over here.

FYI Mike. The last 5 at KB are traditionally straight into the wind. And it's always a decent wind there.

I gathered that.

We can compare Dragons jumpers throughout the years. I have two classics with signatures. Plus the legends framed one.

You'd be disappointed. I have only the one. BUT it has Wayne Bennett 2010 on the back. I wanted him to write "thanks mike for all the advice" but he was in a bit of a hurry.
Having said that, I've got a story for ya. PM on it's way.

[Yossarian]

Mike does the story involve a staffy cross?

[idgolfguy]

Into the wind, JC is unbeatable. I have not played anyone who comes down on the ball as hard and delofts as much as 2 clubs.

Haven't played with Hocko yet, but JC can hit these low flat missiles with a 7 iron similar to the sizzle of the ball out of Lincecums' hand.

Sorry for the baseball metaphor as I am watching the Heat play the USA Allstars at the moment.

[MegaWatty]

Remember the PM I sent after listening to WB at a conference. I told you we'd win!

Back to the last 5...

[Johnny Canuck]

Last 5:

14: I missed pin high right, tried to putt it up the hill and failed. Nuffie with an easy par.

4 down.

[Nuffie]

Nuffie. Last 5 holes. Him good or you bad or both?

14th - Par 3 - Nuffie 3, JC 4
15th - Par 4 - JC 4, Nuffie 5
16th - Par 3 - JC 3, Nuffie 4
17th - Par 4 - JC 5, Nuffie 10
18th - Par 4 - JC 4, Nuffie 8

And in the words of Forest Gump (when his mate Bubba dies in Vietnam):

"And that's all I have to say about dat".

[Yossarian]

Its ok nuffie I did similar against mega!

[Johnny Canuck]

15: Nuffie hit a little fade right and left himself a lot in. His approach landed way up the hill and he asked if he should hit a provisional. It was only natural that his ball would emerge from the thick kack, bounce down the hill and stop 20m short of the green in the centre of the fairway.

I hit a big drive, an 8 iron to the front edge and got my par.

Nuffie 3rd went a little long and he missed the comebacker.

[Johnny Canuck]

Wee Tap: I was short with a 7 iron from 125m to a front left pin. Nuffster missed pin high, way right.

Nuffster chipped a big long to about 17 feet. I narrowly missed draining my putt up the hill and left myself about 12-15 feet.

Nuff missed and got the gimmie 4.

I hit my most clutch shot of the match to keep it going.

[Johnny Canuck]

17 off the Tigers- JC big drive. Nuffie fade into the trees right, provisional trees left.

Nuffie took a drop, a punch, a second punch, a left handed shot and then a full swing to be in the fairway for 6.

I thought the safest play was a 2 hybrid, screw trying to lay up in those winds. Left myself 50m and stuck it to 5-6 feet. Nuffster conceded, I tried the putt and missed.
