  So Jimbog would play Tam and I'd play Twilkie?  If that works out better, fine with me.  Perfectly willing to give it a go for 18, just hope wgt cooperates.

  I am easy.  The weekend never happened due to times confusion, and now the working week we have to be flexible.  

  I am due to play my current oppo at an agreed GMT/UTC and sent him exactly what that time that is for him is his wednesday evening (also sent him a link to check to check incase I missed some local daylight saving whatever - why I always say best work with GMT/UTC from the start).

  Happy to change if want, but I think AEST (southern east coast Aussie) and EST (east coast US) are the two more difficult.  I also think with that nut (hopefully) soon cracked maybe easier to leave as is.  UK and US are pretty close enough to not present huge issues??

  Go with the flow though, and perhaps we now do the negotiations behind the scenes.  No offense to anyone just main forums I am thinking not exactly what the punters want :)

  Jim, you go ahead as planned and Tam and I will do our best to hook up.

  Tam and I just finished up and it took all 18 holes.  The combination of L103 driver and Nike ball provided me quite an advantage on the par 4s and 5s, was almost always hitting one or two clubs less than Tam on approaches...and yet we got to #18 all square.

  His birdie attempt at the last just slid past and I was able to hole mine, so I won 1 up.

  Thanks to Patricia and Willy for getting this together and especially thanks to Tam for a great match.

  Just finished up my match with Dale and I was able to hang on for the win for Morningside. It was back and forth on the front 9 and I just got a few more breaks on the back. Great playing with you as always Dale!

  First, enjoyed this immensely.  2nd thank you to WB and Patricia for the work involved.

  Lastly....Kevin you played well....WGT acted up and you never let it fazed you.  I got up one....never fazed you, but I was happy that after 9 I was only 1 down.  I wish I had played a bit better on back 9, however congratulations and a victory for you that was well deserved!!  3 up with 1 left.

  Kevin a gentleman and sportsman....thanks for the enjoyable time!

  WooHoo, 2 more rounds completed. This puts Red Dirt ahead by only 1 match. Morning Hills has one chance left to get this event all tied. 

  Thanks to every player for making great effort to get their rounds in & make this a successful tournament.

  Thanks immensely to Patricia, for all the behind the scenes communications.

  Thanks all.

  Match concludes in an honourable draw after my oppo beat me 1 up.

  Think fair to say he said my putter was hot.  Think I replied needs to be against that approach play.  I don't think I have ever CCd so many putts against anyone.  He went 1 up early, and apart from 1 real chance (inside 10' and not too much break on the B9) I never actually did anything wrong against a bird machine.  #18 he put his shot to within 5 inches, and i had a pitch to level.  I left my pitch for eagle what 4 inches short, and so it ended 1 up.

  Should have said #17 I drained a real nice 1 for bird, and his was no gimme.  For once he actually needed to putt and he did so v well. 

   

  Well played Twilkie and great comp all:)
