If you two get through to face each other I'm coming through to watch/referee.

Would also make a fantastic forum feature so I'll bring my notebook and camera!

Good luck to both of you - maybe!

If I was a betting man then my money would be on Hendo, if Big Val get a dose of the Power Fades then Hendo will walk it but then again if Hendo has a few pitches over water then Big Val might just scrap through.

Good result for you Big Val the guy must have just taken the game up:whoo:

Not convinced, I watched Hendo putt like a complete fud not that long ago, in fact I think that's actually an insult to a fud as a fud can probably putt better than Hendo did that day!!!!

Phew - David and I representing Team GM made it through to round 2 today (tonight actually)! We won on the 1st sudden death hole and only just home - knackered. Played away at John O Gaunt and a couple of very nice chaps with only 2 shots difference in any of our handicaps. They went 2 up early and then we pulled it back and went on a great run so headed up the 9th 3 up. Lost 3 on the bounce despite playing them ok. Managed to get 1 up again and held that til the 18th (scraping halfs to be honest) and finally our attempts at putting for a half failed us. So up the 1st we went with daylight fast disappearing and flipping midges taking chunks out of us. I got the 5 for the half and David nailed his par putt for a win :thup:

I really like the course - tough, long and tight with tricky greens. Only downside was as we walked from the 18th to the 1st some pompous old .... came out to tell our opponents off for slow play and said complaints had been made! How very helpful to them - NOT and totally out of order as apparently the WAGS (Wednesday Afternoon Golfers) invariably only play 9 holes. Think their day was made having something to moan about and no doubt write a letter to the committee.

There is a visitors comments book and we made sure we said how great the course was but a shame some of the members were so rude.

Onwards to round 2 - away at Northampton County GC.

Yipeeee! well done! I'm rapidly running out of time and dry golf courses...fingers crossed we get our game! ;)
 
I won't reply to all individually as we seem to have had a few winners over the last few days so well done everyone.

Bash an Sundance had a 7&5 win away at Sandmartins on Tuesday - they were 5 up after 5 too!
 
Am I the 1st member of Team GM to reach the 3rd Round of the Singles?!

Played my 2nd Round match away at Taunton & Pickeridge this evening and won it on the 18th!

I was playing an 8 Handicapper so no shots were given and got off to a very ropey start! I held a 6fter for a half on the 1st & 2nd! However was 2 Down after 6.

I missed a 5fter for the win on 7 & 8 but got it back to 1 Down at the turn.

I made a decent Par on the Par 3 200 Yard 11th in to the wind which was good enough to get it back to AS.

My opponent made Birdie on the 12th to go back to 1UP and I made birdie on the 13th to get it back to AS.

14th was halfed in 3.

15th my opponent got in to some trouble and I managed a par for the win. So I was 1UP.

16th was a 150 Yard Par 3, I put mine on the green about 12 ft from the pin. My opponent was 10 yards short of the green and left himself a 10fter for Par. He rolled that it and I was left with a 3fter for par which I held.

I made a hash of 17 with a bogey and his par was good enough for the win. AS on the 18th tee.

Opponent pulls his tee shot left and OOB. I hit mine up the left but safe. He skies his provisional and is 1st to play, he still has a 6 iron in to the green playing 4 and puts it right of the green. I have 100 yards to the middle of the green and knock a SW 5 yards short. He chips 12ft short & I chip up to 5ft. He picks my ball up and conceeds the hole.

Absolutely chuffed to bits!

Thanks Fundy! Means alot! After getting a bye in the 1st round I really wanted to do well! Being away didn't help, but I really dug in! Actually played to my handicap of 8 on an away course which helped!

I missed a few 5-6 footers to win holes but I kept my cool and didnt let it phase me! I didnt 3 putt which was the 1st time in a while!

Got some time off now until the 3rd round has to be played! :D
 
Congrats Scazza, I always like to read of fellow GM'ers doing well.

Sounds like a great match aswell. Only played matchplay a few times but it is my preferred format as 1v1/2v2 is a proper test :)
 
I've got a bit of a strange situation.
I've just had a nosey on HDID for my next round opponent and he's not listed on his club's handicap list.
Suspicious or not?

well played good luck in future rounds.
not only some time but getting round 2 in early means a home draw in round 3 too. :)

Odd, maybe he plays elsewhere too and that's his home club for handicap???

Dunno, any doubt Iain as for the cert buddy.

Good luck :thup:

The rules state certificates can be requested and if not provided then they have to be submitted to the organisers within 48 hours. Our opponents were 13 and 0 but changed to 12 and 13 so we were unsure and I just asked about certificates and he had his ready as the original records were incorrect. Take yours and show it and ask for the same in return?
