Volvo matchplay draw done and online.

Got my singles tomorrow. First competitive matchplay since I was a teenager. Hopefully the boy will let me sleep tonight...

Both off 5, I'm at home so should have advantage,although I've only played once in 2 weeks. See what happens

JJF69 and myself had a comfortable 5&4 victory this afternoon in blustery conditions. Better ball of -3 giving away 16 & 14 shots respectively.

Old Ranfurly was in very good condition and our golf was pretty decent too.

Roll on round 2, we're at home again which is a big thing in this tournament.

Won my first round match today against a 7 'capper at East Renfrewshire.
Played great on the front nine to be 4 up at the turn before having a couple of wobbles and eventually winning 3 & 1. :D
Surprisingly, as it's just across the road from my place, I'd never played East Ren before and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Away at Dumbarton in the next round. Anyone played it ?

Iaing,
Played it a couple of weeks ago (Dumbarton), nice track and as Craw says flat as a pancake, lots of trees and midges, greens were very good as well, straight drivers will score round here. Best of luck.
 
Didn't bother to play yesterday, weather was so crap. As I couldn't fit my tie in before the deadline I phoned the guy up and gave him the match. I'd rather have lost my entry fee than go out in the ***** weather that was yesterday....
 
Who's left from team HDID, sorry I mean team GM????

Any of the "official" team get through the first round?
 
Another one fell tonight! 5 hour round, my opponent was one of the nicest blokes i've ever met thankfully. He used to play off 2 , but was up to 5 now. He was 2 up at the turn with solid par golf. I really clicked on the back 9 with pars galore and stood on the 17th one up. Near darkness by this time and i striped 2 into the gorse, after driving beautifully all night. So all square on the last tee, he sliced one a wee bit, but fine, i nailed mine 40 yards past his. I couldn't even see the balls flying by this time, but he put his second back left, about 40 feet. I stood with a wedge in my hand, expecting to go close and BOOM! SHANK! Had been hitting it beautifully all night, have absolutely no idea where it came from. Head was gone and i took 3 to get down from there. Really disappointed, as was my opponent after i cracking tussle. It was actually too dark for extra holes anyway.

Gutted it ended like that, was a real tired swing but it was the same for both of us
 
I won through to round 2 last night with a steady 3 & 1 win, had a very friendly match with a nice guy went one down and the first got itback to 1 up at the turn, went to 2 up on 11 only to fall back level by 15 tee.
3 holes on the trot in my favour and game over home tie again next round, cant make my mind up whether i would prefer the home tie or a visit to an away course i havent played before.

Long live the exiles! :)

Team GM here (what's HDID??!!) and we play tomorrow at 4pm away at John O Gaunt. Seems the details are wrong and the scratch player is actually off 13 so should be an even match handicap-wise.
 
Still waiting for the outcome of the round 1 match between the 2 guys which I might be playing next. I know I'm at home but would be nice to be able to get it sorted asap so I can book another day off work.
 
I've got my Round 2 Match on Thursday.

The guy I'm playing against is off 8 as well, so there'll be no shots given which will be nice.

I am playing away, but I have played the course many times as my work has a corporate membership and I have shot some decent scores around Taunton & Pickeridge.

Looking forward to it, just need to spend a couple hours on the putting green as I can't remember the last time I had a round without a 3 putt :/

Patience there's still another week before the deadline and no surprise lots of matches not played yet with poor weather.
