These greens are poetry in slow motion...

Video of the winning putt to come when I get home...

[wazandnic]

I'm guessing maybe a tough day out there today boys??
Prob lucky we didn't have that wind at Mt B!

[Peppas]

Waz it was good times out there today

Matty thanks for all the work organising. Good to see all the guys that were there. See you guys again next year where I will take what belongs to me! (Anfield get that engraving ready for next year!)

[JADO75]

[LeftyHoges]

I can't believe we had a State OZgolf champs and while it was on the thread only received 30 posts!

Did you boys actually talk to each other verbally instead of over the internet? Not the done thing.

[PeteyD]

NSW is only just getting back into the playing ozgolf days. For a while there they couldn't organise a 4. I think Matty has done an outstanding job sorting them out.

[KristianJ]

Just got home...I'll sort through the myriad of photos and some other domestic stuff and get the full results posted. Matty can post if/when he gets the chance...as the guy who did the vast majority of the work in putting this all together, he's more than welcome to let us know who went home with the title.

Needless to say it was a tops weekend and I can't wait to see how (or if) the second one tops it.

[Dotty]

Great weekend, great organisation and great result, which was a shock to all (except for his marker).

Accommodation a short stagger from the RSL topped it off.

Stick me on top of the list for next year's attendees.

[Ferrins]

My brother was delayed coming back from America which prevented my attendance. I am glad it was a success.

Dotty, as you were the marker, why don't you give a run down on today's events before KJ puts up the scores. I won't have time to do a write up for a little while with manic ankle biters. Just got home after a detour to pick up the boys Xmas present, a PW50.

[Captain Nemo]

Just got out of the pool to cool off.
Outstanding weekend of golf!
Matty organised it beautifully, good tracks, nice accom, cold beers, what else do you need.
We'll done to all the winners, Matty you deserved the victory, watching you stripe it today was a pleasue.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone again soon.

[Dotty]

1. Peppas (26), Nans (Sun play only), The Castaway (27), Anfieldred (29)
2. virge666 (29), Jado75 (29), 7rabbits (30), liptout (29)
3. matty (33), KristianJ (33), titleist (33), Dotty (30)
4. stuartd147 (leading with 38 points), stealth2 (37), rqrox (35), TS (34)

I had the pleasure of marking Matty's card, knowing that he had to pick up 5 points on the front runners, playing in the last group.
His birdy start was undone by an OOB then a one-pointer, to finish the front nine with 22 points.
News came through that Rqrox had 21 on the front and going point-for-point Stuatd147.

Matty continued the birdie-fest and thought that he had jagged third outright and the second Pure Performance bag fitting prize.

I figured his 21 point back nine gave him a 76 point aggregate and be enough to win the day. Matt was shocked, when he did the cards and finished two points ahead of Stuartd147. (The announcement of third, then second, added to the suspense, as everyone had thought Stu had done enough to keep his three fellow competitors at bay.)

Kudos to Matty's chipping so close (courtesy of an Anne Rollo lesson) and deadly putting (after a putter fitting and ordering a custom-made Lajosi.)

[liptout]

Great few days lads, absolutely awesome........

10 out of 10 for Matty, cracking job mate... Don't think you could have done anything more.

Thanks to everyone that I played with over the days. Fun times.
Congrats to all the winners.

Now my head is starting to hurt and my eyes are starting to sting, so I'm going for a nap!!

See ya'll real soon.........

Yep. Well done on getting this up and running finally, matty.

[AndyP]

Well played, matty. Great effort to hold off dc68's late charge.

[Dotty]

Well played, matty. Great effort to hold off dc68's late charge.

Awesome job Matty and great to see you win it!

[mrbluu]

Great job matty!!!

[Stuartd147]

Boo Hooroll:....thought I had it in the bag with a birdie on the last!
Well done Matty, a worthy winner with 1 under off the stick to take the gold.
Thanks for organising the event I had a great time and nice to catch up with the NSW crew again.....Stu

PS: I won the Medal at Mount Broughton with the nett 70!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Mittagong RSL experienced a spike in their beer, spirits and vodka/squash sales over this weekend. If only they were open beyond midnight...

[TS]

Matty. Congratulation for a fantastic win & doing a fantastic job in organizing the first NSW ozgolf champ.

It was priceless to see the expression on Stuart147 face when it was announce that he come second.
