Won a board competition at long last!

[delc]

After 4 years at my current club and twenty odd years at my previous club, I have at last won a board competition. 5-day Matchplay Singles. Made up for being knocked out in the first round of all the rest of the Matchplay knockout competitions this year. I beat the defending champion 3&1 after being 2 down at the turn, and putted like a god for once. Two of my previous rounds in this comp went to extra holes and my nerves are getting a bit shot!
:whoo:

well played!

Congratulations! That's a very nice competition to win too.

I've won two board competitions this year, both stableford. I'd much rather have won a matchplay comp, all in good time....

Any rule breaches?

Not that I am aware of, although I did have a bit of a discussion with my opponent about the correct dropping point after I put my ball into a lateral water hazard.

So this didn't involve you galloping down the fairway unecessarily?

I'm disappointed

What was the discussion? Surely one of the easier rules?

It was about the exact point of entry into a lateral hazard that is partly hidden from the tee. I felt that I could drop back down the line on the fairway, whereas he wanted me to drop the ball into very deep rough.

Well done

Well done sir.
Although we don't play just for the big wins they are supremely sweet when they come along.

Nice one Derek. I've got a mixed pairs foursome final in a couple of weeks, to get my name on the board for only the second time. well done again.

Matchplay is always a game that's puts a weak putting stroke under pressure and normally reveals cracks, if you brought it home against the current champ then well done sir!:cheers:

I wanted the singles champs this year but melted in the semi's, still gutted about it now!

 

[Hickory_Hacker]

Well done Derek, it sounds like a right major :thup:

 

[garyinderry]

Nice to see. Golf is a game of margins at its very best!

 

[Siren]

Congrats mate!

strangely I find it the absolute opposite. the objective with each putt is normally crystal clear and performance improves no end - this is even more so with chipping. I've the singles on Monday (defending) with the doubles already defended

well done DC - now defend it next year

Well done , monkey off your back , took me awhile to win mine , now i have won so many but its still a thrill to add to the list

Sounds like a bandit to keep winning year after year
