Peter_rs vs golfer69 & Brisvegas Vs Dc68 @ Sat Nov 3rd....Windaroo...Monthly medal

[peter_rs]

Okay guys.

While 69er is offline for a few days, give me some ideas on where to play him and whats his type of game as i've never played with him before.

Any hints?

I learnt from Jarro... don't play him on a short course
I learnt from Shazza.... don't play him hung over
I learnt from Eags.... dont' play him on a course designed by his company / hard course...

Anything else????

[markTHEblake]

I'll be giggling when Pete and I are winning holes with triples and Dion and DC are halving them with birdies.

Unbeleivable, you could be the next Nostradamus.

[BrisVegas]

I'm rooted...christ I need to get fit.
Short story...both pete and I played ****ed but not quite as ****ed as newcastle.
I won the last to beat him 2 up. Thanks for the hit pete.
I have an able combatant in the final.

Surprisingly, your opponent is me.

Managed to sneak a win over dc68 today. Dave came home strong with 1 over on the back 9, but the match was over 4 & 3 on the par 3 15th after dave smashed a 4 iron about 190m over the green into the wind and couldn't save par.

Ironically, he went on to par 16, and birdie 17 and 18. I went bogey, par, par, so there was nothing in it today. Dave made 5 birdies in the round to my one (which he matched for a half on the first ) but I manged to save a lot of pars and stayed out of trouble, well mostly.

Thanks for the game mate, I got lucky today. You showed your real game later in the round today when you started flushing it. I don't think anyone will come close to you at the champs again.

[peter_rs]

congrats on the win g69 and dion

First game with G69 and it was interesting. It was one of those days the woods were still in perth (wait they didn't go to perth ...***ed if I know where they are). windy is a hard course taking 3 iron of the tee. It would have been interesting if we had to go extra holes, we were both rooted.

I was happy to push the match as far as I did, and held a few putts for a change.

thanks to kpac and rust.

special thanks to shazza for the caddie work.

[shazza_rs]

I was always rooting for my pete... but u know me i can't give up an opportunity for a good sledge no matter who the person is...

[AndyP]

Wasn't my best day ever..... got myself into a lot of trouble disposed of 4 balls in the first 4 holes and that set the tone really.
Cheers for the game lads, the juganaught is well and tuely rolling in the matchplay, i though it was going to come to a hault on the 14th, with 69'rs 2nd shot almost breaking his concentration, but shook it off and ground it out to finish. well done. Was a good match to watch. Cheers rusty and the following group, good to catch up with you again after a short drought of ozgolf games. Now off to the pro shop, see if i cant buy myself and game/common sense!

[Jarro]

All i can say is .....

GO VEGAS !!!!!!!!!!

[BrisVegas]

noticed that nett 63 won the day! Not bad for a back marker day.

0.1 back for me. Playing off 8 against the juggernaut.

[peter_rs]

Pete I do have one question....what were you thinking with the shot played from the water drop on snake gully ? Was that an overhit lay up shot or an attack at the green ? personally i think that was the decider of the match...you had a shot there and I was already in the piss. Up until that 3rd one went in I thought I was gone.

It was an over hit that turned into a draw. I had almost decided to go for the green but then dropped back two irons for the layup. Allways happens when I play safe

Hey it was your hole after you called my ball lost when I figured it was in the gully (hit the gum on the right and dropped straight down). The re tee broke my back flying it over your head into the piss was a big mistake.

Who would have guessed I could loss 3 balls on one hole and be a shot of a 1/2.

You had me covered if you won 16. It was interest to look at the card after I lost every hole I had a shot on.... I will have to work on that

[Webster]

Jeez some woeful scores by the participants here - especially the matchplayers with a pair of net 82's.

Queensland is still clearly the home of the vanity handicap.

Hey, we can't all be superstars like yourself Jack

[Jarro]

Jarro, my good friend...you have rooted hard for every one of my opponents since the pizzling I gave you....please cheer very very loud for Vegas !

He doesn't need me to cheer for him mate, if he's off 8 when he plays you ... it'll be a carve up

[Webster]

Hey, we can't all be superstars like yourself Jack

I disagree. I see no reason why you can't be a superstar like me..

[peter_rs]

I looked in the creek first because thats where i thought it would be.. i only looked over the creek when shaz said she thought that was where it could of ricocheted to. I did go back for a 2nd look in the water and long grass before i asked you for your opinion.

I was surprised that i picked up 13 and 14 as wins. It could of been over a lot sooner. Don't know how you think 12 was going to be a loss. I couldn't hit driver all ****ing day. The one drive i did hit only got as far as you anyway. I blame my caddy. She didn't pull my club on the 11th.... i pulled out a 9 iron instead of my 6....so so short and in the water

[peter_rs]

Jack.... I'll miss you at the champs... any time you are up in Queensland you are quite welcome to take me on in matchplay of the tips at windaroo in a comp and see what sort of score you can come up with.

[peter_rs]

By the way mate...the 11th was a soft 5 wood.

No way was it a 5 wood.... my 6 iron was pin high albeit in the bunker.

Only old farts like you need to hit a wood on that hole.

Kpac hit a 5 wood and was over the back almost in the piss.

[Jarro]

Now you're talking sense....it was the caddies fault.
By the way mate...the 11th was a soft 5 wood.

WTF !?!!

That's not that long a hole is it ??

What happened on the 14th anyway ??

[peter_rs]

Lets see... After a shock win on the previous hole, Pete hits a 3 iron to middle of fairway. G69 hooked one left possibly OB.. then hit a provisional with a big cut into the piss. After searching for a while G69 finds his first ball. Then his second shot proceeded to join his 2nd tee shot in the water ( i think it was a shank but can't be sure). Pete hit his 2nd shot to be just short of the green. G69's 4th shot came up on the front of the green. Pete got up and down for a par, G69 2 putted so Pete won the hole.

I agree jarro.. that hole isn't that long (but there was some wind)

[peter_rs]

I figured you might mention that... happy to say it wasn't a shank... no hosel in that one.

The rough... that wasn't so bad ... how bout the ****ing bunkers???!!!

[Eag's]

Where they in bad shape again?

[peter_rs]

well... i didn't see any sand in the ****ers... anyone else see any??? You either got hard pan dirt, dry mud cakes, or just straight mud.

only one i saw that had sand was the greenside traps on 13th... conveniently the only one dicky went in all day.

[markTHEblake]

I was chatting with a volunteer at the Qld PGA today. He said he was a member of Windaroo, and the first thing he said was "someone should blow up the bunker on the 8th"

Uncanny he should say that, as my round died in that bunker yesterday.

[BrisVegas]

the bunkers were shocking. They looked as though they'd be scraped out with a bobcat (exposing the underlying dirt) in readiness for major reno's.

[kpac]

bunkers like that are stupid, totally agree even though i got lucky in the few i went in actually had some sand. Poor rusty on the 9th? semi plugged in the MUD with a big chunk of mud on top of his ball, left it in the bunker but this tim it was sitting on rock hard shit!! I dont know why they dont call them GUR untill they're in playable condition!

[poidda]

I blame my caddy. She didn't pull my club on the 11th.... i pulled out a 9 iron instead of my 6....so so short and in the water

huh? With the amount of golf you play and you can't tell the difference at address?
