Winter Match Play Challenge 1/29 - 3/2

[Maverick]

18 holes double elimination/consolation match play tournament. Month long but no real deadline. Will run concurrent with other tournaments.
It will be seeded by the current points standings. Starts after the Abu Dhabi Championship. 6 different courses will be used, one for each stage.

Here's how it will work:

You will set up the game as stroke play, because the game does not figure in our hdcp's.
Enter your scores in mleaderboard as usual.
We are playing all 18 holes. Stroke play, one on one match.
If there's a tie after 18, then use the scorecard to figure out the winner. Start with hdcp #1 hole.

Or if you and your opponent choose to play your match as match play, subtract your hdcps. Then give the strokes to the higher hdcp guy, starting with #1 INDX hole. i.e. a 10 is playing a 5. 10-5=5

The 10 hdcp will get 5 strokes starting with #1 INDX hole. On the scorecard, the winner of the hole will enter a 1 for that hole. The loser of the hole do

Libbing is 1 up with 3 to play.

[Libbing]

All tied after 16
Both shots on the green on Island 17

[Libbing]

Oh man. What an epic match. Lono stuffed a 160 yard iron on 2 for a gimme birdie. I 3 jacked a putt (including a miss from 5.0) on 3 and he was up by two right off the bat. We then played almost the exact same game for the rest of the match exchanging blows. Same shaped shots. Same misses. My short game couldn't keep up during the front nine. But Lono had a few long lag putts that were left too short on the back nine leading to some ill-timed 3 putts and I tied it up by 16. Another short lag by Lono on island hole 17 and I went up 1. Both of us laced a drive down the incredibly narrow 18th. He pulled his approach just left. I pushed mine right into the bunker. I was able to get a gimme par and he had to hole out his chip. Ran it by to give me the win. Unreal match. Great game Lono. It was really fun going back and forth. Amazing how we kept hitting good and bad shots almost the same way. Till next time.

Mike

[Maverick]

Great match indeed. You guys might have to meet up again...

[theLONO]

Hell yeah. Man that was a good match! Total grinding on both sides. Well done Libbing.

[HWoods]

Alright Mike. Catch your breath. Next round

[bcgc0918]

Nice game Mike.

See you tomorrow around 7 ish Z.

[Bubba22]

Nice match guys.

[bcgc0918]

Nice round Z. Thought it was going to be a long night after the first 4 holes. But settled down and made a couple putts when I needed to. You got robbed to many times on the chips. If those drop it would have been a all together different match.

[Maverick]

Good round Tom.

I am waiting to play the winner of Brandon vs Craig. When can you play guys?

[Craig118]

No Idea Bubs, What do you say Brandon? These match play events are tough for us weekend golfers. I struggle to get 2 rounds in a week for the regular tournaments.
