Anybody else entered the Nike Matchplay comps????

I find it strange you know already where (away) you'll play after the 1st round. I've always seen a flow chart of who u could play dependant on who won but if I got my result in first is get a home tie, if the other pair finished their match first they'd be,at home meaning I'd be away, so how do you know your sway already?

He just hangs off posting his result until the last minute
;)
 
I am playing at home 10 handicapper from Hart Common, who seems to have a good record in National competitions, he has certainly played in the Nike Finals in the past. If both me and Odvan win our first round matches then we will play each other n the 2nd round.

because i got mixed up with the other one where its based on the quadrant, forgot its first result in gets a home game :)
 
I have a home draw, would have preferred a decent away match but hey ho.

I also entered the League to Dubai so 2 home and 2 away games, played 1st round at home last night which saw me win with a seasons best 38 points, hopefully a turning point after my previous dross.
 
I normally use this as a back up comp if I go out of the Northern Matchplay early, so I've been in this the last couple of years..... not this year though as I have some 2nd round action in the Northern this time around.

I'd always got knocked out at the first round stage until last year when I got to the regional, only to be ill that week and couldn't make. Met some interesting people on my travels and even had the feather in my cap of beating one of these 'regular finalists'

League to Dubai is all about consistancy over the summer. Great start though, makes you the man to beat in the group! Good luck

Potentially yes, although I am playing pants just now unless Tuesday was the start of my renaissance.

I am playing first round on Wednesday 17th june
 
Anyone else played their first round yet? Played mine yesterday, my opponent had a nightmare of a round and we shook hands on the 13th with me taking the win 7 and 5, despite not really playing anything special. She was good company though, really enjoyed the round. Actually, I think we would both have enjoyed it anyway, we teed off at 5 and played millionaire's golf all the way round, coupled with warm sun, very little breeze, and glorious views. Very little to not like at all.

Thought long and hard about whether or not to enter the result immediately, my next round opponents are potentially from Blue Mountain (didn't realise that was still open) or Bearwood Lakes (would love to play). In the end decided to go for the home advantage and try for the win. Now I'll probably have a long wait, I'm guessing, as there's still well over 3 weeks before first round deadline.

Well played Ben, playing my 1st round down your way at the Springs on monday
 
Went out today @ Moor Park GC, played the High Course. I had 9 shots, 17 to his 8 handicap.
Got to 17th and lost 2 down.
I went 3 up after 3, but couldn't keep it going. Lost on 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11, to go 2 down. Playing partner was hitting some great shots into the greens, hit 9 GIRs in 1st 13 holes.
Managed to get back to 1 down on the 16th Par 5 with a birdie. Then his Par on the 17th to my 5 ended it.
Thought the course was great, some excellent holes, I played really well but PP played better.
So that's me out of the Nike Matchplay, maybe next year.
