I'm trying to get friday off at the moment, so if I do we'll play our matchplay game. I'll know in the morning.

Do ye want me to book tee times lads ?

Unfortunately, I can't make Friday, have a diabetes clinic appointment and I've missed the last couple, so have to put in an appearance

Itching for a game though, I can play pretty much any other day though if anyone in my group can't do Friday but wants to go out another day

How does the handicap work, is Fix off scratch seeming as it's Corballis?

Good one Big Easy -

All GUI - or if no GUI , your Society hcap.

Everyone got a handicap ?

You bet.
It's my swing.
Yes

Big - you can use your Boards Handicap.

But I guess you were due a cut after big win ?

Yeah, got cut to 18 but don't mind playing off a couple less, though I'm not quite sure where my game is at right now.

Hoping to join a club next year and get a GUI, if I can gather together the shillings. I've definitely got the bug at the moment.

18 so ,

Fair play.

Sorry lads, but work has caught up on me and theres no way of getting out of here tomorrow.

Enjoy the game lads

Anyone in my group want to play a match on the Saturday? The weather is supposed to be ok, at least for this time of year

Best of luck lads, enjoy!

Great day for links golf. A strong enough wind at times - for example 9 was a 4 iron even after a JD.

But a perfect day for winter golf - a bit wet in places and bunkers out of play in parts. So was a non qualifying day.

I'm fairly inexpereniced at matchplay (only played it 3 times now) - so sort of new territory in what is a friendly enough competition - but great practice for future club events. But I genuinely would be looking forward to trying to get to a Semi and final on what are 2 great courses.

I was genuinely disappointed that his driver deserted him at the wrong time - I also started to play better on the last 4 holes too. Didn't make too many putts , but as Golfgraffix has said to me , sometimes the battle in matchplay can be to get on the green. You can win a hole without needing to make a putt at all. Long putting still strong enough but.

Best I ever seen Golfgraffix play in Corballis - and he had me in trouble as was in the lead 2 times and 1 up with only 4 to go.

So enjoyable event - looking forward to my next two games. Looks like there is not going to be too many easy games in our group.

By the way, whatever you think of the place, it is a great place to try get hole in ones. I can remember at least 5 very close ones there over the last year - Myself, darcool, Scub and to add to that PARlance was bang on for one yesterday - hit the flag but major bounce back from flag 13. So I've seen a very close one now on 1/4/6/13/17.

I wonder will we see one there soon ?

Anyway looking forward to 2016. This looks the makings of a nice little event - and will keep game moving in winter.


BTW - Golfgraffix and I played full difference - so all others do same please - lower guy to scratch - higher guy to difference.

Also finish out games and record score. I'll post up a table after everyone has played a few games.
Do not play extra holes in group stage - a 1/2 is a 1/2 each.

No issue dar.

We will be meeting up in new year.
If everyone could target 1 game at least played by mid January.

Again - it does not have to be Friday but that is the general plan. Corballis can be played most days and if need be we can play Saturday.

Put a notification onto this thread - so you see if someone is looking for a game.

You can play matches in any sequence.

Maybe someone would fancy a match in gap to new year.

Lads - The weather is very good for the next week or so.

Well, courses will need a few days to dry. Even Corballis will be very wet in parts.

I'm off Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday next week.
