  Davide,

  I got your joke (thus the Italian reply) and I didn't see any dispute but the open exchange of opinions (which I like very much). Maybe "challenge" wasn't the right word.

  I appreciate that Luciano and Roger did not post any demands but leave it to us to decide.

  Lobster, I'm glad you are showing up and declare that you're ready to play.

  Courteney, I stated above that we are 10 in a boat. I'd have welcomed any clear opinion from you, too bad that you missed the opportunity.

  Reese, I interprete you to accept any match as long as you have a game.

  Shrude, thanks for your support. I take this together with the former "word on the wall" of yours as the only additional vote, which is pro Lobster, making it 2 - 1.

   

  Therefore: Match 6: brhthecarpenter vs. Lobsterboy

  100plus:

  BOF 2nd Match 100PLUS defeated ALOSSO 6&5

  Gr8 player and a gentleman,had some meter glitches but he coped with it,it was not his day.

  Trev

  Too kind Trevor!

  The glitches were in my finger - the replacement index finger which I ordered after the first round didn't arrive in time :)

  1st shot of the game in the rough knee of BPB#1, later a drive caroming out from the cart path of CCC#10, and the neckbreaker was at CCC#18, a half between us after water shots of both - if only I had layed it up defensively...

  I was lucky enough to see some 'xtr'ordinary shots, to halve a few holes and to win one - RSG#4 with the luckiest missed ding of all, crawling over the left of that hill and stopping 2 yds from the cup.

  Thank you again, Trev, CU on the courses!

  I think we both should have gone through.....lol

  Decision is fair to everybody and good luck to everybody else

  My 2 packs I pledged is still standing...  when comp is finished tell me who to send Golf balls to.

  Actually..... or anything to the same value as 2 packs of Nikes :)

  Agreed guys. GL to everyone.

  Oh, I forgot I'd like to give away a ball sleeve. Prize winner call.

  Shoulder taps and big thank yous for your understanding and gratitude!

   

   

  Which brings us to prize distribution.

  We have a nice cup for the winner,

  + 2000 crs "cash" worth of variable items,

  + 7 sleeves of receivers' choice from different donators,

  and a pack of 2 or 3 sleeves of named brands.

   

  Most important question: How to break up the credits for the best value?
  Restrict to certain items, wedges, balls, boosts, putter pals?

   

  Here's a preliminary idea - please discuss!

  1st: cup + env. 1300 crs worth of items + pack of sleeves

  2nd: env. 700 crs worth of items + 1 sleeve

  3rd to 8th: 1 sleeve each

  Agree with that.
  Value can be switched in items indeed or pairs of sleeves.

  Better left that decision for the finals.
  If I can had a choice I will surely swap money for balls. I personally don't have in program a chat with Mister WGT so money are useful for balls.

  The Fish lost 4&3. I had him worried early but experience showed through towards the end. Well played Wesdogg.

  Round 2 match with Courteney, she is a fierce competitor and came out guns blazing while I struggled with the dinger and quickly had me 2 down......I was able to get going a bit and got up 1 at the turn and then Courteney had trouble dinging as I kept getting hotter and came away with the win...well played  Courteney
