  Well, Mike and I had an old school barn burner in the semi's. We both had some shaky one's at the start, but about the 5th hole on it's game on. This could've gone either way. He birdied the 9th to take to extra's, and he pulled out the win with a fine shot to the par 5 and a made a nice eagle to end. Had some nice conversation on Skype with him also. Best of luck moving forward Mike. Give'm hell !!

  Bery said he wanted epic encounters in the semi's ,well the game with Mike was certainly that.

  neither of us could buy a putt for 4 holes then everything seemed to click for both of us and we ended up with a bit of a birdie-fest.

  skype enabled us to have a good chat during the game ,which i enjoyed because Mike is a good guy to have a game with.

  5th extra hole finally settled it when i got a much kinder bounce on the fairway enabling me to reach the green in 2 and i  managed to get the  eagle for a 1up win

  thanks for the game Mike ,i feel very fortunate to have gotten the result in the game

  Mike

  I discover now that there has been another bracket for this memorial?!?! In the first one I was not drafted, so I thought that everything was over. Someone could explain me this matter?! Sorry for not having played. Bye

  Semi Finals!

  Semi 1: Liam91 vs Mymanpayne

  Semi 2: overtheedge vs Bigknight

  Hi bery.

  What a run, for EVERYONE in BOTH MP tourneys. Some were lucky enough to continue to play in andysons honor, others at least had the opportunity to play in the tournament Paul initially created, with GREAT success mind you. TY Paul and to everyone involved in the andyson Memorial Tournament. 

  Now, it is on to "Andysons Hinge". TY for putting this together bery111. I am honored to have played in this tournament to remember our friend, mate, bud -THE heartbeat of the WGT forums - andyson. 

  Our MP - Semi 2: overtheedge vs Bigknight is schedule for Monday @ 230 EST. We're both looking forward to playing and having some fun remembering our friend. 

  TX again - TO EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY.

  That reminds me - didn't icon or scamwow, or someone in that pod mention WGT was in the process of doing something in andysons memory? THE Author and Creator of the WGT National Inquirer and unlimited post referencing statistics and data from WGT's community base. Either way WE as a community HONORED A KEY MEMBER / FRIEND IN THE COMMUNITY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, OF THESE FORUMS.

  See you Monday BK and will raise our glass in honor of ANDYSON! CHEERS!

  Good stuff! This sums it up perfectly! I'm sure Andyson has been watching a few of the games and probably used one of Yancy's creations to eavesdrop on the conversations from t'other side! Without doubt, I'm sure he was chuckling at my shot selections during my Andyson Bracket game against amateur4sure. I could also have sworn I heard the echo of a train horn on one of the par 3s, just as I was getting ready to hit!

  Hi Tamsach,

  During the Andyson Bracket selection (64 players from the original 100 or so), a few  guys weren't picked. So I had a chat with Paulton to run the idea of the unpicked players going into the Andyson Hinge - with the winners of the Hinge & Bracket playing each other in an Andyson Memorial Final match to end all Final matches! :D

  I did have you in Andysons Hinge - and I put details about it on Paul's original thread from the Andyson Strokeplay.

  I'm sorry you missed out - a couple of others did too. BUT (there's always a BUT!) I reckon the way this Memorial has been run, I would like to see this as an Annual Andyson Event, with or without WGT's support. And  we've shown we have more than enough willing and able participants.

  US Open | British Open | Masters The Andyson Annual gets my vote!

  Cheers,

  bery

  Jeff (overtheedge) and I just finished our semifinal match at Pinehurst.

  We started off with a Cheers to Andy, and then we blasted our drives down the first fairway. I'm afraid Jeff caught me on a day where everything was working, and after starting birdie, birdie, birdie, par, birdie. I had him dormie on the 6th hole. We halved that one and the match was all to quickly over.

  Jeff truly embodies the true spirit of what these matches are about, and I wish him nothing but the best in the future. I hope our paths cross again soon my friend.

  Bk wins 4up
