Volvo matchplay draw done and online.

Won my second round match 1 up away at Cardross today. 3 down after 4, 2 up after 15, square after 17 :mad:, and managed to win the last with a nice wee birdie :cool:.
The course was in great nick as the Scottish boys championship is there next week.
At home in the next round for the first time so we'll see what happens now:mmm:.
 
Brilliant Iain, I like Cardross, nice track. Thats a very good away victory.

I'm deadly serious, that's not an easy course to go to and come away with a victory. You must be playing well and gutted your not coming to Millport tomorrow!!!


:whoo:

Superb Iain :thup:
 
Played my 2nd round match today against a really nice lad from Greetham Valley.

I won 3 of the first 4, then lost a couple but won the 9th to be 2 up at the turn.
Up against it on the back 9 I thought I did well to hang on until the 16th before I lost my lead and we teed off on 17 all square.

A half on 17 so all down to 18, which is a lovely hole (but would be nicer as a risk and reward par 5 imo). A tee shot of between 220-250 then the hole doglegs almost 90° to the left, then goes sharply downhill. The green has lakes short left and short right which seem to eat into the front corners, and is probably 50' below you.

Tom had found the right side of the fairway and had about 150 left. I'd hit an unintentional draw into the first cut (not that short) and a bit further on and had 105.

Thinking I was going to be up against it because he'd hit nice irons all day, Tom shanks it into the right hand lake, so I only have to hit the green.
Cue an awful contact which could have ended up wet, but it bounced on the cart path round the edge of the lake and ended up pin high just off the green to the right.

A failed attempt at getting close with a dropped ball from Tom and he shook my hand for a 1 up win.

Not the way I'd have wanted it to end but a very good game played in great spirits, and I'm happy to be in the draw for round 3. :)
 
well played Gary, a win is a win.

looking forward to our match next Sunday although not lifted a club for 3 days as yet again I am laid up ill, have had more bugs and viruses this year then ever before!!
 
Congratulations Region! Very well played! Glad someone has joined me in the 3rd round of the singles!

I'll also see you tomorrow hopefully, if not tomorrow, I'll see you on the tee on Tuesday!
 
Well done Gary I have left many ball in that lake on 18 and a few in the lake in front of the tee on 10. What did you think of greetham

I like it. It had some very interesting holes, but the one thing that lets it down imo is the evidence of 'casual' players, for want of a better word.
divots and pitchmarks aplenty, as well as buggy tracks all over the fairways.

Apart from that, very nice indeed.

I saw you, but didn't want to distract you on the tee.
Did you know which of the ones around the tee was me?
 
Well I had my 2nd round match today and pleased to say I came through it 2&1, so onto the 3rd round for me with another home game.

Thanks again to Swanny for caddying and his general help out on the course.
 
Through to round three tonight in the doubles with a great 6 and 5 win at The Hertfordshire, First time both of us had played it. Some really nice looking holes of the whites and the club house was stunning. Away at Welwyn Garden City next to 4 & 6 handicapers so should be a difficult one.
