The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 8 and both hit tee shots to the edge of the green, this time Dave remembers to change his meter from 150ft to 30 ft both hole out for par and the score remains the same, it's tight now that Dave has composed himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 2 decent approach shots to the 9th and two birdie putts coming up on the most impossible green in world golf! I make a right james hunt of my putt and end up miles away for a par, Dave hits his to within 15ft and is as bad as my effort Dave slides his just past for his par, and leaves me a chance to win the hole, which I don't take and miss the putt, 2 bogeys sees a halved hole.

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 10 and both hit the green in two leaving birdie putts, I go first and miss by inches, Dave goes next and also misses by inches, the chances are there but no one wants to take them! 2 pars and John remains 3 up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 11 and I play up short to leave an easier approach, and then slam it in the bunker Dave plays a nice tee shot and his approach is a beauty to within a few feet of the pin. I play my bunker shot to within 7 feet and then miss my putt, leaving Dave with 2 putts to win the hole, which he easily does. Back to 2 up now with 7 to play, and the nerves are jangling now!

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 12 (the mammoth par 5 that should be a par 12!) Two drives down the middle so far, Dave plays a good 2nd down the middle again, and I mishit mine and send it into the rough, the tides turning I feel! Dave hits his approach 7 yards past the pin, and mine goes through the back of the green after misjudging it completely, oops! I mess my pitch right up and let Dave in big time, a putt for the hole................which is missed, however I miss my putt too and Dave holes to win it. 1 up and squeaky arse time!

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 13 and Dave its the green with his tee shot but leaves a tricky putt, which he plays very well to get to within 5 feet, a cracker mate! My putt is too high and misses too, down to the par putts for the honours............which Dave misses, and I steal in and pinch the hole John 2 up with 5 to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 14 and I hit a good drive right down the middle, while Dave finds the rough (he likes a bit of rough he says) Dave hits a truly majestic shot to within 3 feet of the pin from the rough, while my approach rolled on a lot further than I wanted and leaves me with a big putt to save the hole.......................which I miss, but secure a par, Dave then putts for the hole.....................................which he nails! 1 up with 4 to play and back to sweaty bollox time again!

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 15 and 2 more good drives, but the approach shot from me hits a bump and scoots for miles past the pin, sods law! Dave's approach ends up in the rough, he pitches out and hits the flagstick but the ball spins away and leaves a tricky putt. My putt sails past the hole from an impossible angle and distance of 84ft,I then miss my par putt and Dave has a putt to tie the match....................which he misses, we both hole out for bogeys and half the hole John 1 up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hole 16 and two tee shots both hit the green leaving long putts,Dave pushed his past the hole by 10 fett, and I push mine past the hole by 6 ft, Dave first up for his par.................................and misses, I have a 6ft putt for the hole........................and also miss it!!

I can't believe that putt on the last didn't drop, I was waiting to hear the "clunk" as it hit the bottom, and when it didn't come I couldn't believe it! Some final mate, a cracker!

portobellojambo1 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Congratulations John. Armiya, Have you had under further thoughts about setting up some sort of league competition, as was briefly discussed a few pages back. If it does go ahead would it all be match play, or would/could it be split as a mixture of match play/stroke play (for example play half the matches match play and half stroke play, meaning each person would play everyone else twice within the league format, but in two different game formats, or something along those lines (this assumes it is possible to set up a stroke play game for two, never tried it so don't know).

No pressure then I'd need a hand with a fixture generator as I'm not sure how to do it, but I'll try my best to get this off the ground, don't shoot me if I get it slightly wrong though cos I'm pish at pooter stuff and a bit of a technophobe Gimme until Sunday and I'll think of summat, but I'd like a bit more group discussion around it as to what people want, because sure as damn it, I'll take the wrath of many for setting summat up that no fecker agrees with (The reason I ask for time until Sunday is because we're in hospitality tomorrow (?50 each for match tickets, 2 course meal, half time pie, and 3 hours of booze was too good to turn down) and I may be a tad pished tomorrow)) Give me your thoughts on a league system and I'll take the best of them and try to knit something together, but don't expect any spreadheets or feck all cos I don't do them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graygo Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Obviously not green and bouncing on a ball though. The latter might depend on how much is consumed Well he's got 3 hours to get as much down his neck as possible so bouncing on balls will be a possibility. I've worked it out as follows- 2 hours pre-match drinking sensibly and discussing the upcoming match and Cruiky's heroics in a Hearts strip then after a 3 -0 win really going for it and having to get carted home!!
