    18 - Playing frickin' long.

    JC decent drive in the right rough over the bunker. Actually hit my driver really well and it went all of 210.

    Nuffie drive left, punch forward about 50-60m.

    JC 160m 5iron that actually went slightly lower than planned, just off the back right to a back pin.

    Nuffster, 3 extra clubs into the wind and the wind took his ball high and left into the kack for the conceded hole.

    19:

    JC, 4 iron down the middle

    Nuffie, driver down the right, narrowly avoided the bunker (how he got super lucky on the same bunker twice in the same day, I'll never know).

    JC hit PW to 6 feet

    Nuffie missed short right, forcing hit to attack his chip, which went long.

    Nuffie missed the putt.

    JC, 2 putts for the win from 6 feet. Missed a conservative birdie try for the gimmie victory.

    Hard to believe I pulled it out. I had resigned to the fact that I was defeated and only wanted to avoid getting belted.

    Maybe, but the 15th club rule must be in place. Hopefully it wont be needed, but who wants to give up a hole and then **** their club?

    Enough notice and depending on time, I'll caddy for one of you blokes at Araluen if that happens.

    I should caddy for the Canuck. Whenever I second guess his club choice, I am normally right.

    No problems with the 15th club.

    Looking back at today's match, Nuff played some great golf. I was ready to bury him in a bunker after his third consecutive up and down at the start of the match. He played so well, I came off the front nine feeling and thinking that I shot about 45. When he told me I shot 40, it kind of snapped me to reality that I wasn't playing bad. I had two that should have dropped and two more that got affected by core holes.

    I thought I was going to run out of holes so my main goal became not to get totally flogged.

    On the 15th, I actually thought to myself that if I won that hole, I'd have a good shot as 16-18 in high winds can be lethal.

    When that putt dropped on 16, I think I actually heard one of Nuffster's vertebrae snap.

    In the end, it was a blast and a perfect day for golf.

    The greens were decent, but it is surprising how long it has taken some of them to come back after the coring.

    Either that or the Canuck just went down.
    We were deep kack right. Nuffie had nowhere to drop.

    All of these quotes had me cracking up walking to the 19th. I asked Nuffie if he wanted to hear them and he said that he would prefer to wait until the match had finished.

    I empathise. I know all 500m of that deep kack right on 17. Almost as well as JC knows the clump of trees left off the tee.

    I think Veefore's "Foldo Baggins" didn't get the acknowledgement it deserved. That had me in stitches

    Nuffie keep your chin up. To take JC on at a course he is very familiar with and to almost seal the deal is a great effort. Home track advantage counts for a lot when the going gets tight.

    Would not call what happened a choke Andy, it may appear this way on paper when you look at the scores, that's for sure.

    It was the weather change. Even with it happening on the last 6 holes it sealed may fate, despite being 5-up at one point.

    I had no idea what to do, but just stick to my usual guns (take more club and swing the same way - my only hope).

    The mindset never changed at any stage (before the completion of the 18 holes anyway). I always believed I could win, despite two missed up and downs on the 15th and 16th that would have closed it out. Even on 17 and 18, 3 shots to the middle of the green was my aim and I trusted my game. It all went wrong in the wind...

    But on the 19th, my mindset changed for the first time in the day....and I knew he had me. It was why I had to put him away well before this, coz all his previous MP experience would come to the fore on any extra holes.

    I maintained the same swing thought for every shot, and never thought at all about it being a matchplay semi-final. It's why I shot even par the front nine and felt absolutely no pressure doing it at all. Technique brought me unstuck and there was no plan-B and the reason why I capitulated: My present swing can't hit the ball low and straight enough in gusty conditions.

    If my hcp goes out 3 shots in the next 6 months, I'm not fussed. After having a free lesson at Kalgoorlie a few weeks ago, I know a few ways to hit the ball flatter and with heaps more penetration, to not only fight the wind but increase distance for every club. Trouble is this destroys all accuracy and constitutes some big swing changes.

    It's just gonna take months and months of work to get it.... but will be for the better.

    Par 6 into that wind...


    I played there Sunday and just pured it for 12 holes. I think I hit one bad shot (2nd out of some kack left on 7) that cost me a drop and a double. I was +4 after 12.

    13 saw me on the green for 3 and four putt for double! I had a 30ft first putt into the strong wind and had seen my two partners come up way short with their putts. I blasted mine 10 feet past. Was then putting downwind, when the ball hit a core hole bounced right and went 3 ft past. The 3ft putt also deviated quite badly off a core hole. (I'm agreeing with JC after his round Sat in that some of the greens have not come back very well from the coring it seems. It has been 7-8 weeks since they were cored too...)

    I hit a solid 4 iron to the middle of the 14th and two putted for a good par to be +6 after 14.

    Then I made Nuffie look like a solid percentage player on MY last 4 holes...TRAINWRECK! Wind was VERY strong at this stage and into for the last 5 holes.

    I lost a ball on 15 with my 2nd from the right rough, into the wind. I shoulda just pitched it back into the fairway. (Took 7). Lost my tee shot long left on 16 and put my provisional into the kack pin high left as well and had to take a drop too (took . Hit two balls left off 17 tee, first was lost, barely found the 2nd and bunted it out. Hit 2HY well right from the fairway and had to take an unplayable from down the right rough (again, lucky to find it)...punched it on from 90m and 2 putted (took 9). Went left again on 18 and by now was pissed...tried to go at the green with 4 iron from rough over the trees behind the left bunker. Struck it pure but didn't clear the shrubs above the traps...found ball...took another unplayable, bunted it out into the fairway and punched a 7 iron from 110m that bounced off the right edge and down the swale. A reasonable chip to 10ft or so and a lipped out putt meant I finished with 8.

    7,8,9,8 FINISH...FFS!!! I was just destroyed and tryin' to figure out what the hell had happened. All of a sudden my swing had gone and nearly everything was going LEFT...seriously left too.

    They'd probably still be playing punch shots out of the rough.

    Would've finished when one of us ran out of golf balls...


    Think I saw the 'same' Dugite too...scared the SH*T out of me, 'cos I nearly stepped on it, and it actually looked like it was gonna go me...so I left. Quickly. Was on the right side of 15. Took about 10 minutes to get my heart rate down. VERY CLOSE ENCOUNTER!!!

    Luckily, snakes don't usually worry me too much. But when it started to crane its' head & neck upwards I was outta there...
