....until I get my arse handed to me on a plate in the club Scratch Knockout Comp by the current club champion (and course record holder) :mad:

I should probably be there practicing or warming up but thought a bit of quiet contemplation and a few prayers might suffice :D

Never been beaten 10&8 before so at least it'll be something new :mad:

oooh.... 43 minutes now.....
 
Positive Mental Attitude my friend, go out thinking you will get humped and you certainly will. go out thinking that you will smash him and play superb...um..well...nah your fecked...Good luck ;)
 
I had a similar match against the (at the time) current club champion, an internationalist, 36 holes matchplay. I played a scratch 1 under in the first round , and was 4 down, and then lost 6 and 5 having played the best golf of my life. 2 bogies all day!

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Wear that rather dashing 'Camberley Pink' jumper and hope he's forgotten his sunglasses, you'll be fine.

Oh...and don't forget to ask him on the first tee if he breathes in or out on his downswing ;)
 
Well that went well...............

Broke 2 golden rules of matchplay....

1) forgot to bore him to death with S&T talk
2) handed him my arse on a plate.

I'm pretty sure I could have just claimed the match when he was 7 mins late for our tee time.... which was probably my best chance of winning gone as we proceeded to tee off.

My game plan went pear shaped after winning the 1st hole when I took 5 to get down from 100yds on the 2nd and 4 to get down from 100yds on the 3rd. If you're going to beat a better golfer there's one thing you MUST do...... make HIM beat you, don't just gift them a victory.

3 down after 5 holes after he made a stunning birdie on the longest par 4 and then I hung in there at 3 down (matching pars and birdies) until I gifted him the 13th and 14th to lose 5&4.... generally I give less gifts at Christmas!!!
