Volvo matchplay draw done and online.

[Val]

I'm through also, won 4 and 3 against a steady 6 handicaper. Managed to make the putts that mattered under pressure for halfs. Played steady enough but putted pretty decent, even finished the match with a 2 from 10 feet :thup:

Over to you Hendo

Well done Val, great job. Pressure is now on me, 1pm ish on Wed. Wasn't looking forward to playing Lanark in the next round after it destroyed me last week. I'll do my bestest to meet you in the next round. Well done again.

I got humped one down tonight. Played poorly so can't complain.

1 down's not really a humping is it ? More of a mild defeat ?

Gibbo and myself played this afternoon/evening.

Won the first 4 holes with pars before losing 2 out of the next 3 also to pars. Winning 8 and 9 put us 4 up again after the front 9.

Lost 10 and 11 before we stopped the rot by halving 12, but lost 13 to be only 1 up.
We hung on halving 14, 15 & 16 before a birdie saw us dragged back to all square on 17, so onto the last tee (my favourite hole ) with all to play for.

After the tee shots it was advantage us as I was the only one to be able to reach the green in regulation, and hit PW to about 15'. 2 putts for the hole and the match after our opponents long par putt missed on the low side, and I lagged it down the hill to about 8" and we shook hands.

The 8 hc opponent was just relentless for most of the back 9 hitting fairways and greens, and from what looked like a commanding position we were almost beaten. It was our opponents good play though rather than us handing it to them.

A cracking match played in great company. Onwards to round 3!!

Congratulations to everyone else posting wins too

It is a humping to me, gave the game away with some real sloppy play. Lost every par 3 albeit giving shots on three of them. Blocked so many shots, putted like a dick and still only lost on the last.

Really pissed at myself. Good luck in your hendo.

Unlucky with todays game it happens to us all but granted its a lot worse when it happens in a matchplay comp and yer oot and there is nothing you can do about it. Better luck next time eh...

Cheers pal, good luck :thup:

Cheers

just home (via maccy d's). As Gary saida great match played with very good company. Gary was immense again and he had to be as the guy off 8 was straight off the tee and hitting GIR for fun on the back 9.

Really enjoyed the course Gary, I just wish I had holed a few of my putts then we wouldnt have been needing the 18th to win.

an 8 & 6 h/c in the next round away. Bring it on

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Out of the singles, but had a good away win at West Herts at the weekend, 2 up win. Home match next round at last.

 

[G1BB0]

just sorted 3rd round tie for me and Region3 this Saturday, that was a doddle, a 7 & 8 hc awaits at a course neither of us knows and the weather forecast is grim

Bring it on :thup:

Where are you playing

 

[G1BB0]

Burghley Park GC in Stamford

 

[GB72]

I know it well, 2 of my old group are members there now. Pretty flat from what I recall and whilst it is a respected Private Members Club, the course design is not that well thouht of outside of the membership. Nice place though, I went to school in Stamford. The clubs is literally a minute off the A1 at Stamford and easy to find.

Lucky you are playing now, half the course shuts in a few weeks for the Burghley Horse Trials and some of it usually gets a bit trashed.

Pity you are playing so soon as could probably have arranged for someone to sign you in for a practice round.

Do you have the names of who you are playing, would be total coincidence if it was my old playing partners.

 

[G1BB0]

Craig & Paul off 7 & 8 respectively

 

[Hendo007]

Played my second round of the Volvo there and won (was that you joma1108?, if so thanks for the game) right then Val, let's get this glamor tie on the go ;-)

 

[Hendo007]

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!

:ears:

Right then craw, get that notepad and camera looked out, am holding you to this ;-)

 

[rickg]

Well done Chris.....may the best man win!!

yes that was me Chris and well done,I had a bad start and then you played really well, despite a mini resurgence at the end for me a comfortable 3 & 2 for you. Good luck in the next round.
