Chappy

Yep, very happy to host the next round at Spring Valley if that suits everybody. I won't mind the home ground advantage if I'm still alive either.

[Bruce]

Forecast is for a warm one on Sunday.

I think I will need to get out of the blocks early as it might be tough to fight back while gagging for that first beer.

[kev]

I guess chappy will be the winner in his match then as FG apparently doesn't play in the heat.

She's a bit frail I hear

I'll tell you what Toolish, if I happen to win this tournament I'll arrange to meet you at Murray Downs and we'll see what happens this year. OK?

[Toolish]

That sounds like a plan...GO ANDI!

1st round of Match play
Well a great day was had by all at Southern yesterday. Warm weather (a little hot if truth be known), course was in good condition and company was great.

Started with greetings to those known and introductions to those not (Swanny, Kev and v205).

1st Group (Commentary will be added by Bruce)
Bruce vs Swanny
AndiGold vs Johnnyboy


2nd Group
Flower Girl vs Chappy
Kev vs v205


First hole particularly unspectacular for all players, with both FG and v205 taking the points and going 1 up. The second hole revealed Kev’s secret weapon, his enormous distance off the tee, this one would have nudged the 300+ mark. The short par 3, 3rd resulted in good pars to both Kev and v205 with v205 getting up down from out the ball washer, FG and I tried to out do each other with poor tee shots and she won FG v Chappy back to square. 4th hole average scoring all round. The 5th Southerns’ signature hole, 3 great drives and then I stepped up and snap hooked the drive nearly out of bounds, the others chopped around and lost balls, I my second in to a hazard, chipped to 10 foot and dropped the putt for the worst par on record. Chappy goes 1 up. V205 well on top in his match. 6th hole par 3 Rennie had a great par to square the match, kev and v205 squared with v205 throwing the hole away with some ordinary putting. 7th hole par 5 Chappy takes out some frustration with the big dog and slams a big drive then capitulates to give FG the lead at 1 up, v205 makes a great par to extend his lead (this hole was made even more special by Bruce’s bee dance). 8th hole couple of good rives by Kev and Chappy, fantastic 2nd from FG to the fringe, Chappy interesting second shot – approach to the green was stopped by a birdie (of the feathered variety) FG then knocked her putt from off the green in to go 2 up. 9th hole rated number 2 testing par 4, v205 and Chappy take pars to take each of their matches on to the back nine.

FG 1 up and v205 3 up (this may need to be confirmed by Kev and Vincent)

10th FG extends her lead with a bogey and Kev bounces back with a good par to get one back on v205. 11th nothing special. 12th par 3 v205, FG and Chappy hit the cut surface and Kev over clubs into the back trap with Chappy and FG squaring with good pars and v205 had a small brain fade with the flatstick and Kev had the putt from hell. 13th long par 4 allows Chappy and Kev (massive drive) to get one back with good pars, FG and Chappy square, v205 to 3 up (needs confirmation). The 14th index 1 for the gents proved a challenge for all off the tee, Chappy goes 1 up after a scratchy bogey and Kev gets the nod with a double to stay in the hunt. 15th FG and Chappy square the hole and v205 goes back to 3 up with Kev travelling all over the place. 16th short par 3 v205 and Chappy stiff the tee shots to within 1 putt range whilst Kev and FG miss the green, nett result v205 closes out the match 4 and 2 and Chappy drops the birdie putt go dormie 2 up with 2 to play. 17th long par 5 everyone gets off the tee ok and is in the hunt for their second, FG misses the green with her third and Chappy knocks his 3rd to 8 foot and closes the match out 3/1 with a crappy 2 putt. 18th FG collects a great regulation par for her efforts on the last.

Good day all round, next round scheduled for Spring Valley (pending availability) on Sunday the 30th of March.

[Flowergirl]

Thanks for hosting Chris. Was a great day - but a bit hot. Best part of the day was the drive home - decided to buy a new car on the spur of the moment. ( new - used - new to me).

Its been a long time since Ive seen a guy shoot 102 and yet hit 300m drives!

How was the course guys? Are the fairways as good as I heard they are?

[chappy1970]

PY,
I know it sounds odd, but Kev seriously put a few well out there, I let the shaft out on a couple but they were as a result of pure frustration. I got 'em too.


Chappy

[andigold]

Terrific day yesterday, thanks chappy for hosting.

I was a little dissappointed in my form on the greens but tee to green I hit the ball well. Johnny Boys consistency was the key to his win though as he was very solid the whole way around.

I know Bruce was planning a blow by blow review of our 4somes matches I just hope he doesn't neglect to mention his two 4 putts.
