Another 1st success!!

[chris661]

Today at my home club, Portsalon, we played for the Barton cup. The format is 9 hole open matchplay with all ties to be played on the day. I started at 905 this morning and won on the 6th hole of the final at 1940!! A long day but as its my first major club success I am delighted but after 42 holes of golf in the one day am knackered! Still I have a nice shiny old (first presented in 1899) trophy sitting on the mantlepiece!

I'm doing 72 holes in a day soon - that will be a killer. Well done though. It sounds a fun format and a bit like the UK Open darts where everyone plays at the same time and you can get drawn against anyone.

Hoping to get to your track for an open soon

A hard won victory. 42 holes. I'd be absolutely knackered playing that many round our course. In fact, I don't think I'd manage it!

Really well done and congratulations. Hopefully, you can draw loads of confidence every time you look at the cup on your mantelpiece.

Very well played that's a huge amount of focus not to mention shots. Enjoy your glistening trophy!!!!!

Nice work.

One of those where you don't want it going to extra holes!!!

I can imagine it's pretty important to get off to a good start in 9 hole MP.

How much time did you get to rest inbetween each 9?

I know about the extra holes!!! Between the first and second match there was enough time to wash my hands. Second and third match had about 45 minutes, third and fourth match of the 18th straight to the first again then over an hour to wait until the final. Was 1 under net after 6 holes in the final so saved the best to last!!

Thank you all.

What a success! Well done.
That sounds like a fun competition, playing all the rounds in one day with the field getting halved each round.
Never heard of it, maybe all clubs should do it.
