SA Matchplay!

[Flavzz]

Although the past few SA ozgolf days have not had amazing turnouts I thought if we have a Matchplay tourney the 2 involved in each individual match can simply oranise a course and a time which suits. We can gradually play out all the matches. The WAnkers inspired me to start this Should be pretty cool I think. Who is keen? Once I get a decent number of participants I'll do a random draw and we can get the first round underway!

Did I win yet?

[Chilled]

OK chilled, this sat is out for me unfortunately, perhaps the weekend after?

Yep, most sat's for me will be mount compass, so happy for you to join us any weekend. Crack of dawn starts.

[Chris32]

Cool that suits me, I'll be in touch early next week mate. Never played there before so I look forward to it

[Chilled]

Great Chris, sounds good. Gives us a warm up for the final at Mount Compass. Compass is probably my favourite course as it's a really good mixture of hitting and placement; more placement and control though. Hopefully the weather is good. But I think you will enjoy the course as they have good fairways, soft greens, with something in it for everyone.

I'm thinking of having a hit up at Barossa Valley course this sat 23rd - if anyone is interested in joining me just shoot me a PM.

[Chilled]

Well it's all set up for the semi between Chris and myself at Mount Compass early this saturday morning. Three of us playing so there is one slot left if there anyone else here who would like to join us; send me a PM.

Weather for this sat:

"Partly cloudy. Scattered showers. Small hail possible in the morning. Winds west to southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h tending south to southwesterly during the day."

Not great conditions but fingers crossed we get lucky!

[Flavzz]

Good luck lads. With the weather that is.

[Chris32]

Its winter, hopefully we dodge most of it! Looking forward to it

[Chilled]

Holy shit!! It better not be raining tomorrow like it is now : (

Torrential.

[Chris32]

Yeah pretty heavy this morning! If you wanna reschedule just let me know by about 9pm tonight

[Chris32]

Finally had our match on Saturday which Chilled closed out with a few holes remaining 3&2.

It was a pretty even contest with the result coming down to Chilled making putts when it counted.

The weather was surprisingly good, with just the wind to contend with and the umbrella only making an appearance for a few minutes on the 3rd. I was really impressed with the course, it is a excellent layout and every hole gives you a different challenge. The wet weather in the lead up meant the course was quite wet in places, but the pin positions where all on the higher parts of the greens making approaches quite challenging but the surface dry enough to give you a true roll.

Hoping to make it back for another round for the final, it is a really good course!

Congrats to Chilled, good luck for the final lads

[Chilled]

Well said Chris32, and great to catch up with you again. Appreciate you coming down so far to play.

Chris32 played remarkably well for someone who has not played golf since march this year, and especially considering it's the first time he had played Compass. I half expected him to come out blasting galore with the driver (as I see most do and if you know the course that's not really the way to go), but to his credit he went sensibly with a four wood and hit some great shots off the tee.

Right from the outset I thought the game would come down to putting and in the end it was probably the putting that got me through. Chris32 let me off the hook probably twice that I can recall, so in the end I was a bit lucky that I made it through actually. Having said that I felt I played reasonably well despite a lack of form recently (I blame wintry conditions!).

The weather was an absolute highlight, we couldn't believe how lucky we were to get such a nice day with sunshine.

Hope you can make the final Chris32.

It's going to be a David and Goliath final

[nadg63]

I just seen that you've played!

Congrats on the win Nick.

[nadg63]

So when/where is the final taking place - assuming it hasn't already!?

So when/where is the final taking place - assuming it hasn't already!?

Still not happened, and it's nearly September now! (we'll be doing the draw for 2013 before 2012 is finalised ......................... )

[nadg63]

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Chris32]

Yeah any updates?

[nadg63]

Yeah any updates?

Yes, the latest is there is no latest!

[Chris32]

Coin toss?

[nadg63]

Coin toss?

More like couldn't give a toss after all this time .........................

[Chilled]

Well I've asked nadg63 to pass on my number to Shaun so he can contact me to organise a final at Mt Compass. I'm a member and I play at Mt Compass every saturday morning (well most saturdays anyways) so he just needs to join us anytime and it's a done deal. Happy to make it a sunday rather than a saturday even. I'm flexible. Just waiting to hear from Shaun...

[nadg63]

Well as it is now 2013 and the final for 2012 never happened I reckon it is now officially dead!

[timinsa]

I win by default!

[nadg63]

I win by default!
