Jimandr v Jono 16/5/06, Jimandr wins 3&2
At this stage it looks like we are playing at the same time as Matt and Coffs, at Carnarvon on Tuesday 16 May, but I think we deserve our own thread.
Besides, there is a chance that we can't make this game, so if we reschedule it needs to be announced here.
Jono has revealed that he has a poor record at Carnarvon. As my record is good, with 35, 2 up (par event) and 37 points in three visits, and I won matchplay games twice at Carnarvon, naturally I have jumped at the chance to play him there.
We have a matchplay history, but not when real prestige is on the line. In 'practice matches' I beat him 3/2 at Macarthur Grange, he caned me 8/7 at Riverside Oaks (but I had my worst ever round that day) and we had a hard fought square at Bayview.
I'm declaring myself favourite, although my recent form is patchy, with terrible putting hurting my scores. I predict Jono will be playing in some new addition to his bag (maybe a hi-bore. Could there be three drivers in his bag?) creating some doubt in his mind as to the health of his game.

It will go the way every match against Jim goes.
Both players will play average golf, & although Jim scored less point on stableford, he will win the matchplay on the last hole, or in extra holes.
Hasn't anyone noticed, it doesn't matter how good or bad you play, Jim will always just scrape through like a true matchplayer.

How does this work? Jim is the favourite. So you have greater than 50% chance of winning if you bet on Jim. If I put $10 on Jim and he wins, how much do I get?
Shouldn't it be 1-2 odds?

I think both you & I should take Connico on and put couple hundred on Jim.

Book us in, Matt.
Tuesday at Carnarvon is an Open Event. You shouldn't need Ping's help to get two groups booked.
If Jono is betting on me to win, but if he is at juicier odds, I may back him to win, do we get a situation where we are both trying to throw the game?
Remember Fine Cotton, Hansie Cronje, Salim Malik, the 1919 World Series, hundreds of dodgy league and AFL games since betting became legal. Gambling spoils the sporting event. Having said that, I cannot be bought, except with a bacon and egg roll.

I'd back you to win if it was a bacon and egg roll eating contest ...

Thanks for doing the honours Matt. Title of the thread now signifies an official venue and starting time. A late start could mean a dodgy finish in the dark. Hope we don't have to go extra holes.
I'll probably have a home game on Sunday, which I will now treat as an official Practice Round, working on my many weaknesses.

Be patient, Grant.
Indeed, the winner was Jimandr 3&2.
I told Jono not to play me at Carnarvon, as I always seem to play well there. My Matchplay record there is now 3 from 3. I played well again today until I got to dormie 4, and then had a late round collapse, but not enough to throw away the win.
We started on the 10th, and both had a really steady and consistent first nine. I had eight 2-pointers to start, and Jono had 6 two pointers, a one and a three. I was one-up at the 17th (our 8th), and Jono chipped in for par (controversially, as even though I was on the green, I was further away, so he played out of turn) to get back to square. I made a great up&down on 18 to turn at 1 up.
Jono's game started to desert him a bit, while mine got better, so I was four up with four to play. I threw away the next, but hit a good shot on the par 3 7th to stagger home.
I'll post the actual scores of the day in the Matt v Coffs thread.
My next opponent is Brad. I'll see if I can talk him into playing at Carnarvon, but I'll bet others will advise him not to.
