You may think you got hard done by or the other player had a couple of bounces that favoured them. Gary Player's motto, the more I practice, the luckier I get sums it up. Someone who is better skilled, can seem to make it look easier or lucky.I didnt understand what you were trying to achieve. Your focus in that MP, was to prove that you are better than yourself? Don't get that. If you wanted to prove that you are a better player than JC, the MP was not the forum. Just get a better HC than him. That proves it more. If you had beaten him, all it proved was that he had a bad day or you had a really god day.With regard to Champs, it was a handicapped event which showed that you played to or better than your handicap against every other handicapped player. It was not a measure of golfing ability.Handicapped events mean just that, measured success against a scaled baseline. It is not about ability.What I am saying is that the OZGolf matchplay is a handicapped event, why would you play it any other way.
