Discussion: Ozgolf Matchplay Events.

A Matchplay Championship. what do you think?

If we get 32 players, there is only 5 rounds, so if we allow 2 months for individuals to organise each match, shouldnt be a problem, and would be completed by the end of the year.

Gee thanks guys for including VICTORIA in this event.

3/4 of the difference in hcp is the way to go.

[Jono]

3/4 of the difference in hcp is the way to go.

Why 3/4? Don't they normally play the full difference?

[AndyP]

I have heard of the 3/4 difference, but have only played full difference.

Supposedly the low handicappers are disadvantaged by normal handicap matchplay.

[peter_rs]

The 3/4 hcp diff is to help the lower hcp. But if you want to play with the full diff as a high marker I say bring it on.

make up your mind.

3/4 handicaps went out the window in the 70's. Frankly Pete you dont look that old?

[peter_rs]

It may have gone out in the 70's, for me its the left over from a social group I played with when I first started(tells you how old they were). As I said I don't care if you use full, I just get more strokes and I will take them. I would just hate to have some low markers giving me a shot a hole, then complain if I win(some how).

Thats the last said on the matter.

Blakey, do you know if the 3/4 h/cap matchplay is a legacy of a previous handicapping system?
I'm not sure I understand the benefits of it. What is our handicaps for if not to make the playing field even?

[markTHEblake]

stableford events used to be played off 3/4 handicaps. My old man said it was to make it fairer for low handicap golfers, and he used to play this format in the 60's.
handicap matchplay also used 3/4 for the same reason.
7/8's handicap also rings a bell somewhere.

i havent seen a 3/4 index since i was a junior, Horton Park had it on the scorecards when i first started playing around 1979, but even then it was no longer used for many years.

The AGU now recommends that in all formats of competition that full handicap is being used including matchplay. Except Canadian Foursomes at 3/8 of combined.

I doubt anyone here would have expereinced any club running a comp with 3/4 handicaps, nobody is old enough, even Onewood.

[terryand]

I've played 3/4 handicaps when playing mixed best ball match play.

Terry.

[Jarro]

good to see this is going along smoothly and we all agree how it's going to be run

just make up the rules Blakey and we'll all play to them.

[peter_rs]

we all now its full hcp. just talking about the old days(says the second youngest guy in the forum).

[Flowergirl]

We play 3/4 handicaps ( says the oldest chick on the forum)

[Speirsy11]

For what it's worth, I like the 3/4 hcp idea.......

Another suggestion is that we have a "must be played by date". IN the event that the two players can't get together and play by the date that round must be completed by, the winner of the match is decided by a coin flip.

Just a suggestion.....

[AndyP]

Blakey already laid down the rules, so why is it still being discussed.

A rebel matchplay tournament??

Says who?

You get your sorry blue ar$e back on your side of the border

What? Think us Qlder's are easy pickings do ya

And don't give me that shite that its closer for you

Terry.

[Jarro]

Tezza,

i think drunken wants to challenge himself by playing in the harder side of the draw

[terryand]

Tezza,

I guess,at least one of us will get a easy game first up

[drunken]

Well we'd best make sure that theres no other ring ins allowed. AP if you want to play you'll need to be in the Victorian section

I'll be glad to be a first round walkover for someone

[peter_rs]

Hi drunken,

You have to nominate in the "OzGolf Matchplay - Tourament conditions and nominations" thread for it to count, this is just the "Discussion" thread.

[AndyP]

Hmmm, I'll tee up a game with FG in May. However, if I get through that match, I might have to forfeit my second round, rather than travel 2000km.

If you are looking for another Blue to play, you could always play against Kev.

I thought this was State of residence not State of origin

Or State of convenience

Terry.

[Bruce]

Bloody Hell. With FG's matchplay form at the moment my best hope will be to either be in the other half of the draw or to get the scotch and drys out early.
