Jimandr v Matt3jab Strathfield 25 Feb, Jimandr wins 4&3

[jimandr]

EDITED 1ST POST again (and again)

Result of Match: Jimandr 4&3

Game scores: Matt3jab 35pts, Jimandr 32pts (more details in later posts)

We are going to try for Strathfield on Monday, 25 Feb, about midday (time confirmed).

This will be our third attempt to get the match underway. I just hope we don't have to go to extra holes and/or need to have a replay.

Love to join you but am working. Might get more interest if I am not playing anyway

[mikezone13]

I'm pretty sure I'm available that day (i.e. GF is working) will let you know tomorrow am.

Have a bad case of the hooks at the moment so hope it's a right to left course

You are very welcome to join us Mike. I've added you to the list. We now only need a fourth.

4. ?

Cumberland is a typical tree-lined kikuyu fairway Sydney course with fairly straight fairways, so it doesn't really favour any shape.

You'll enjoy 17, which is a drivable par 4 that requires a draw to hit it. I think I've scored one point total for the two times I've played it, so I might lay up off the tee this time.

The tee time (12.03) is a bit late, but it was all I could get.

[mikezone13]

Unfortunately jim I have to pull out, really after a tee time that ahs me home by about 3:30pm on the Sunday.

As we are currently back to two players I thought I should bump this thread up in an effort to attract at least one more starter to act as a witness.

If we've got nobody by Thursday I'll have to ring the club on Friday to vacate the two extra spots and give some locals a chance to play.

[jimandr]

Looks like its just the two of us, Matt.

See you Sunday.

[Matt 3 Jab]

see you then, sholud be good, golf sat and sun, happy days again

Big test for Matt this afternoon, Can he knock off the 2005/06/07 Matchplay Champ? Must have been a long time since Jim has been beaten in a matchplay round. Matt don't look at his hat, it may put too much pressure on you as it reminds you how many Matchplay champs he has won.

[jimandr]

There was no testing of Matt3jab's nerve, and no dethroning of the king for time being. Anybody in Sydney today will know that the forecast of showers turned into rain periods, and they were heavy rain periods.

After phone calls, we agreed not to play the game, and Matt decided not to drive to Cumberland. I decided that I would play anyway.

I got to the course after driving for the last 15 minutes, from Fairfield on, in very heavy rain. It had eased while I was in the car park thinking about my options, then started coming down really hard virtually as soon as I handed my money over.

Nobody was teeing off, including me, so it was a day wasted. Fortunately, they gave me my green fees back.

It is now Matt's turn to organise the next game date and venue.

[Grunt]

How about the Dunheved round, could be one of the biggest NSW OzGolf days.

[jimandr]

I'm not available. I'll be away on holidays, if I can find somewhere where it isn't raining. My favoured destinations on the North Coast have had their worst summer for years.

[jimandr]

I've changed the title of the thread and the content of the first post, but if it is raining elsewhere in Sydney as hard and persistently as it is at Ingleburn tonight, we might not be playing anywhere.

[Grunt]

Have fun guys, working both days.

[jimandr]

As everyone in Sydney knows, the rain has been so relentless that golf is an indoor sport at the moment. Matt and I have given up for the moment, so we'll wait a couple of weeks.

It is also very unlikely that Fishman Dan and Coffs Hacker will play. They are now looking at Easter for their game.

[Matt 3 Jab]

looking for a game tuesday at carnarvon, death vally to those who play jim

[Grunt]

Trung, Chopper & I are playing at Carnarvon on Tuesday too. Chopper is playing his matchplay too.

[jimandr]

I can't play on Tuesday.

I've PM'ed Matt with other suggestions. Negotiations are continuing.

[Matt 3 Jab]

pm replied

should be right now

[jimandr]

Agreement has been reached.

As per the new title, we are going to try for a game at Strathfield on Monday, at about midday. I'll ring and make the booking in the morning to confirm.

If anybody is free to join us, post tonight and I'll try for a group booking.

[Grunt]

Best of luck to the two of you. Looks to be a nice golf day, low cloud, not much breeze.
Have Fun.

[Grunt]

Result Here? Anyone?

[3oneday]

They hit off at 12pm ? sheesh, give them time, they should be stuck in traffic about now !!!

[Grunt]

I saw that Matt posted at 4:50

[3oneday]

Well, he needs new wedges so maybe that's the answer
