  I already played my second round with Bollox yesterday and he finally won 3UP.

  It was a real struggle, despite the score.

  I started great with a not easy birdie on 1, then lying distance and slope caught me on second for a bogey, we played AS till hole 7, when Bollox made a not easy birdie and replied on 8 and went 2up.

  I had a good reaction on 10, when I took my birdie, but I was suddenly stopped on 11 when B got a birdie from fringe...

  Then I made birdie on 12, when the ball stopped from 1yard from eagle, but on 13 Bollox decided to play as he can, and found a great birdie from 25ft... 2UP for him again ...

  I got bit nervous there, I knew that putt killed the game, I had last chance on 16 when I almost eagled from bunker 30/40... and the match was over.

  Congrats Bollox and gl for the next rounds, it was great to play with you and thx again to my friend Mio who streamed all the match (anyone interested in watching it, these are the links: Holes 1-6 ; Holes 7-13, part 1 ; Holes 7-13, part 2 ; Holes 14-18, part 1 ; Holes 14-18, part 2 )

  PGAbound67:

  I was originally going to make this tournament legends only, but decided against it in favor of the honest TMs

  PGAbound67:

  all future editions will be legend only.

   

  "honest TM" sounds fishy enough. "honest hustler" is an oxymoron. but "honest TM hustling" is just an outrage, probably a synonym of "sandbagger". good choice.

  Hi

   

  Just finished my match with ibprime. Was a very weird and interesting game. 

  I was 4dn after 8 holes and ibprime was playing soo well, He holed a 30ft putt on 2 and a 40ft putt on 5. Some shooting, I had almost given up after 5, 4dn going into 8. I scrapped away and got back to 3dn starting the back 9. And then the game changed. 

  Ibprime had a  couple of what I could only guess as meter skips on 11 and 12 and i got back to 1dn starting 14. I started to play some good golf and managed to win 14,15, and 16 to be 2up with 2 to play. 

  Ibprime stuck with it though winning 17 with a super approach shot to 3ft, and I missed my putt short. 

  On to 18, 1up and 1 to play, I managed to stick my approch from 155yds to 2yds, and ibprime's approach to 3yds. He missed his putt unfortunatly and I sank mine to somehow win 2up.

  Great game Kerry, nice to meet you.

  Cheers 

  Gary

  Just finished up my 1st round match with Carlos. Man that was fun, LOTS of birdies from both! I wasnt keeping track of scores, but if I had to guess I'd say for the 16holes I was prob -12 and Carlos -10 or 11. Carlos is a hell of a fighter, 3 times on the back 9 I thought I was gonna put him away and he came up with the shots. We both missed green on 12, I played first and chipped in for birdie, he did the same thing! Then on 14 I stuffed it into like 3ft, he went long over the green..and chipped it in! Then again on 15, I stuffed one in from 162, went past and almost came back down for eagle but stopped 2ft out...so what does Carlos do, hits the same shot I did! lol. He slipped up on 16 driving into the rough and putting his approach in the bunker, I hit a great shot in to 3 or 4ft to finish 3up. Thanks for the match Carlos, it was a lot of fun and I look forward to playing with you again.  PGA wins 3up

  There are 4 matches still to be played in round 1, I'm sending out messages now. You will have until 9am est on Tuesday the 19th to finish, I will be giving bye's to players Tuesday morning. Who gets the bye will be based on activity, average, and effort to play the match. I'm also going to factor in who I think would have won the match, I really dont want to have to do that so please try your best to get your match played.

  Had a great game with newly elected Ryder Cup Cappy  Kam4122,Monty hit me for 3 birds in 4 holes all mostly tap ins and i was quickly 2 behind,I hit a nice bird on the long 500 yard  par 4 to stay within 1 and we exchanged birds and pars right up to the 10th hole,The back nine i play better than front and take a 1 hole lead with a sequence of birds from the 10th to 15th,Monty also makes a couple of nice birds on them holes also,The par 5 i get careless and Monty takes the opportunity to AS the match,We both hit nice shots into 17 but Monty leaves an uphill 9 footer just a tad right of the cup and i take the chance with a bird to go 1 up,We both par 18 and i come through  the game with a 1 up victory,Always a great match with kam and always enjoyable win or lose,
