Birchy
Money List Winner
Just like last year i will be running the OOM player auction with a large portion of the proceeds going towards Autism charities.
The auction starts with each player having a starting price tag of £3. People can bid on each player as they would bid in an auction. Players more fancied to win will obviously cost more money but your idea of the winner might be different than everybody elses and you could get yourself a bargain! People not playing in the event are also very welcome to bid on players.
The prize for the person who buys the winner will be 50% of the total money raised and some golf prizes.
Preview to help people make their decision :-
Group A
Qwerty - AKA Steady Elvis. No doubt one of the market leaders but again has landed himself in the group of death. Mustard on the karaoke and round the greens. My advice would be play him on a Sunday at a course that has loads of roundabouts nearby.
Huds1475 - Sombrero award 2015 favourite will be tough to beat off his current mark. Move to a new club could slow down his progress a little but if he can hold it together he will take some beating. Does he have the mental strength to go all the way?
Val – Made a run through the pack on finals day last year & has been playing solid golf for a good while now. Country membership has certainly sharpened up his game but have the handicap committee got him where they want him? Could he be Scotland’s first major winner since Paul Lawrie?
Junior – First entry under the OOM’s new format after missing last year, could this work against him. Very solid player and always challenging for the win at forum meets. Will he cope mentally with his brother making a charge towards the lowest handicap in the family?
NWJocko – One of the favourites for the OOM if he oils his extra gears. Constantly calls himself crap so don’t let him lull you in. Putting can be his downfall but I recently heard a rumour he used the same putter 2 rounds in a row!
Group B
Garyinderry – The inaugural OOM champ will no doubt again be very popular when choosing a winner. Mr soft is so laid back he floats around the course throwing out shapes like Bez. Don’t talk technical with this fella or he will tie you in knots.
StuC - Lively contender would be an understatement for this chap! Bubbly character to say the least who has a presence about him. Well known for snaffling nearest the pins with dodgy shots so if hes having one of them days you might feel like the world is against you. The feint hearted might need a set of ear muffs when playing Stu as he makes himself heard. There won’t be much need for Stu to report his results back to the forum, just open your window and you will get a decent indication “Ccccchhhhhhaaaaaaadddddddddeeeeeeeeeeâ€.
Birchy – Been very quiet recently on the golf front, has he lost his mojo? Usually a real contender but will have to up his game to get back in the mix. Has been known to play with helicopters and has the odd bout of tourettes. Some recent developments may see and upturn in form for this chap ;-).
Stevelev – A newcomer for 2015 and a complete unknown quantity. Would take something special for a first timer to enter these shark infested waters and get out alive.
Gregbwfc - Built like a giant and hits it like one. Struggled with injuries which may be down to the horse wrestling he does in his spare time. Will his back be able take the strain? If he stays injury free he will be a tough man to beat.
Group C
Liverbirdie – Last years champion will no doubt be one of the favourites to retain his crown. Don’t ask him to share his butties, hes about as likely to give you one as he is a 2 footer. Even when he plays bad he gets lucky, must be part Irish. Can he cope with being the champion?
Podgster – AKA the canary. Opponents may have to wear shades for this battle as the canary has been known to blind people with his attire. He often also tires his opponents out by running everywhere, don’t take him on over the hills! Has his handicap finally caught up or can the canary fly to victory?
Duffers – Another newcomer for 2015 but known to quite a few after tagging along with Stu C to various meets. How the hell his ears are still intact after knocking around with Stuey for so long is beyond me. Can his ears and his game hold up?
Louise – A contender that will always be in decent form as she plays more than a tour pro. Has her handicap caught up or has she got more to come? Just remember to take into account the difference in SSS or your ears will be burning for months.
Odvan – Got nobbled last year by the handicap committee of whom a member of is in this group, could Matt gain revenge? Very solid player on his day and can be tough to play In matchplay.
Group D
Scouser – The forum’s trash talk specialist but the trouble is he often concentrates more on that than hitting the ball in a forward direction. Will be getting shots from all but will it be enough? After beating Bluewolf in a forum classic challenge a few years ago he will be a marked man. 6 stone wet through but eats like a horse so don’t play him for food. Matchplay is his game but last year didn’t win one, can he buck the trend this year?
Bluewolf – Vanity handicap and his chief nemesis in his group that nearly ruined his life? Next……
Vikingman – Very solid player and had some good results last year. Elbow injuries might slow him down but if he can stay injury free he will be very tough to beat.
Peterlav – Right in contention last year and will be a top contender again this year im sure. Can really light it up on his day and birdies are never far away. The nearly man again like his footy team last year but can he break the mould and go all the way?
Davemc1 – Another newcomer to the OOM. Well known on the forum and will be in contention for the sombrero award. Can he hold his nerve in the big time?
