2010 Vic Ozgolf Matchplay

Detail
Annual Ozgolf Matchplay event for the Mexicans.
After closing date for interest, Bruce and myself will draw 1st round matches out of the hat. Matches will then be posted here. Round 1 will have a cut off date of (more than likely 31st of March).

Round 2 will consist of all round 1 match winners (if odd number of entries some players may get auto entry to second round i.e. last years winner jd_frank [Dave]) Round 2 will have a cut off date of (more than likely 30th of June).

Round 3 will consist of all round 2 match winners (if odd number of entries lucky losers get auto entry to third round) Round 3 will have a cut off date of (more than likely 30th of September).

All subsequent rounds will be determined after final numbers have been confirmed.

Format is handicapped matchplay i.e. one player has a handicap of 18 and the opponent has a handicap of 15 then the 18 h'caper will get a shot on the 3 hardest holes.

It is advisable to organise golf days in an attempt to get multiple matches completed on the one day, also those new Ozgolf members can get to know other Victorian golfers, (all Interstate Ozgolfers are most welcome to play in these days if they are in town)

It is the reponsibility of both players of a match to coordinate the playing of said match.

Those players that do not have an official handicap are welcome to play, a handicap must be nominated by them prior to teh match in line with their ability. If a hustler is found within the ranks, I reserve the right to do something REALLY REALLY REALLY humiliating to them

Anything not clear let me know.

Run and WON

[Dennis]

Yep. I'm in

[andigold]

Me too

[AndyP]

Chappy, you are a sucker for punishment trying to organise this again.

[Webster]

how does it work?

[chappy1970]

Andy P you know it.

I must say I was pleased to see 2009 get done and dusted

Jack a cut off date is usually set for nominations.

After which a draw is done (usually by Bruce and myself as we work close by). The draw is published and opponents are left to organise their respective matches.

In the interest of trying to not wait until the last week of the year for the final, I think a deadline should be placed on each round of the matchplay. What are your collective thoughts

[Dennis]

just get it going...whatever the rules you decide will be fine

People will either get it done or they wont

[kev]

Oh, ok. I'm in.

[chappy1970]

OK numbers are looking a little lean, any more takers?

[v205]

Not much different from a coin toss.

how does it work?

[zigwah]

put me in again chappy

[v205]

Count me in.. I think I need to adjust my hcap up though.

[JohnLLL]

Sounds good, but because im new can you let me know what is involved? eg. How many rounds? what days are they played on? when is the first one? etc?

[chappy1970]

JohnLLL
Once I have the list, I will do the draw with another Ozgolfer and publish it (for fairness). It is a knock out until we get down to the finalists.

Once the draw has been decided, it is up to you and your opponent to work out a suitable and convenient time/place to play the match. The format is handicap match play i.e. If you are off 18 and your opponent is off 15. He will play off scratch and give you a shot on the 3 hardest holes.

In an attempt to get the thing run and won (congrats to all last year for this), each round will have an expiry date of more than likely a couple of months after which a toss of the coin result is had.

If this is not clear or you want more info let me know.

Chappy

[JohnLLL]

Thanks Chappy, I have just had a read through the 2009 thread. Im in.

[jd_FRANK]

count me in

[JohnLLL]

Thats 8 now. Surely there is more Victorians on this site!

[Flowergirl]

Johnny Boy and I are starters - no problems. And you state the rules Chappy - your call.
Just don't give me Johhny Boy is the first round again. Still getting over the bruises from last year.

[chappy1970]

JohnLL I have sent a PM to all the Victorian Ozgolfers that I know of on the site. It has been historically problematic getting confirmed starters for this event. It may be geography or just circumstances for some people.

If you are more convincing than myself, I encourage you to assist with garnering support.

I will let the invitation run for 1 more week after which the draw will be done.
Chappy

[benstone]

I'm up for it as I want to get out to some more VIC courses this year.

[drnick]

Bugger it I am up for it! Only issue I have is an incoming due mid March. So if I have to flake out of it due to that then massive sorry, but, um, yeah duty calls!

S

[LarryLong]

I'll sign up, but it's quite probable that I'll pike and award the first round victory to my lucky opponent.

I figure that since I was one of the few losers to actually lose on a golf course last year I might give myself the opportunity to lose like a real Victorian this year.

John,
I have PM'd in no particular order
Flowergirl, LarryLong, V205, jd_frank, Jack, Brett, bruce, Dracz, Rodders, DrNick, Flusher, Fraser, Hawkers2008, IanO, jbhayman, your kind self, Oncewasagolfer, oldplayer, schwarty, f00re and Whitey. All acceptances have either been posted in this thread or PM'd to me and updated in teh first post.

I haven't contacted Shu, callyFTi, boonie or falcon. Having said that I contacted Boonie about this last year and time wasn't his friend and I don't believe his circumstances have changed. Falcon played a couple of years ago in this event, I think he is still playing his golf at Woodlands but I didn't contact him.

I'd be more than happy for you to contact Shu, callyFTi and falcon.

Idealy I'd like to have one big day when we can get a number of matches played and all particpants can get some $$$ towards the OZgolf POTY.

Chappy

[rodders]

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply.

I'm in subject to the date of course. Pretty sure I'll get Dracz along as well.

Just one thing. If a player does not hold a golflink handicap I take it a designated handicap can be agreed and given?

Cheers.
