FINAL ROUND
WRAP - RICH RIVER GC ECHUCA -
WEST
COURSE |
Another hot top of 39 deg expected so
its is a bit of a relief to be playing in the morning.
Who will take out the historic 40th edition of the Massey. Gooey
(51Pts) looking for Massey number 4, Beano (49.5) striving for his 3rd.
Possibly an unprecedented 10th Massey for Paul "I've never won the
Massey, everyone else loses it!" West
(48.5). An unlikely number five for the floundering Q (43.5) or an
overdue 2nd for Mike (also 43.5). Surely, they won't totally capitulate and help Henry "not" win another one.
The Groups were drawn in accordance with the Super 6 Captains choices..... AS/GM/MH/RW,
IQ/DM/JG/PW & AC/MR/SL/MB.
(The leading five in bold letters).
At the half way mark the scores were:
Jimmy 20, Schimma 20, Henry 19, Wally 19,
Glenn 17, Robbo 16, Bean 15, Gooey 15, Tubbsy 15,
Mike 14, Q 14 & Murf 13.
The
"live ladder" with 9 holes remaining would see Henry take the
lead by 2pts over Gooey and 3.5pts over Bean. Schimma moves to 4th 7pts
behind. While in the immortal words heard this time last year, Q & Mike need
"to lift!!" would be 13pts adrift....
At the completion of the final round the scores were:
Robbo 40 (16 out / 24 in), Henry 38 (19/19),
Schimma 38 (20/18), Jimmy 37 (20/17), Glenn 32 (17/15), Tubbsy 31 (15/16),
Mike 31 (14/17), Wally 30 (19/11),
Gooey 26 (15/11), Q 26 (14/12),
Murf 25 (13/12), & Bean 23 (15/8).
(Capitulation completed!)
After coming into the weekend 7.5pts from the leader, it is extremely
disappointing to all but one, that, after the top three meekly
surrendered in the heat, Henry has now officially "NOT" won a 10th
Massey and the first time he "hasn't" won since 2015/16 and hopefully
he does "not" win like that again.
A classic example of how everyone else literally fell over and let him
"not" win again!!: Watch -

Super 6ixers;
Teams were drawn before the final Massey round by the Captains Henry &
Q.
The format for Day 2 is Four Ball Stableford Aggregate (Pairs).
The matches were called by the Captains as follows: AS/GM (A) v MH/RW (B);
IQ/DM (A) v JG/PW (B) and AC/MR (A) v SL/MB (B).
Day 2 results were:
Match 4 - MH/RW (B) d AS/GM (A) 5 & 3.
Match 5
- JG/PW (B) d IQ/DM (A)
5 & 4.
Match 6 - AC/MR (A) d SL/MB (B) 5 & 4.
Team B now take an imposing 5 to 1 lead into Day 3 where there are 6
singles matches to be played..
More good fun was to be had on Saturday night as we mosey'd on over to the
clubs' dining room for a well earned meal after consuming copious
amounts off our refreshing ales to extinguish our dry palettes.
While waiting for our meals, Tubbsy gave us an unforgettable re-enactment
of Henry's impression of a beached whale after trying to run
across a hot sandy beach and blowing a calf muscle just short of the
waters' edge. The well refreshed Tubbsy lept from his seat
and proceeded to the middle of the now full dining room while
demonstrating how the stumbling Westy looked after apparently first
breaking his thong while taking on the hot sand then in further
desperation to get to the water he blows a calf ending up prostrate on the
beach
assuming the look of the stranded beast. All at the total bemusement of
the confused diners. "Does anyone have the number for triple 0?" may have been
heard or even "is anyone here a marine biologist?". Top stuff
Tubbsy!!
One unanswered question still remains, why did yours truly wake up
the next morning with the taste of ear wax in his mouth??
Day 3 - Match Play Final
between Gooey & The Bean (inc. The Super 6ers Matchplay Singles matches) is to be played at Rich
River GC (East Course) Echuca / Moama
on Sunday 23 February at 7.32am - 36deg with ominous dark clouds & possible storms.

halved. Bean wins again on 3 to be 2up. Gooey strikes back on the 4th
and the next three were halved before Gooey goes bang bang on 8 & 9 to
snatch the half way lead 1up. Looks like a tight one!
The Back 9: Not really much to write about as Gooey
wins on 10,11,12,13 & 14 to win his third Matchplay Final 6 and 4.
Super 6ixers;

ROUND
SIX WRAP - RICH RIVER GC ECHUCA - WEST
COURSE |
|
Off to another new destination for our Massey
Finals Weekend.
Beano, chasing his third Massey crown, last
won when he completed his self acclaimed "Triple Crown" in 2011/12 has a
2.5 pt lead over Gooey (chasing his 4th, last won in 2018/19). Meanwhile
Q has slumped to third and now 5 pts behind following two very
disappointing rounds, clinging on in hope for a 5th title (last one was
2020/2021), but the real smoky currently in 4th who has been thereabouts
all year without causing much fanfare is Henry (who last won in 2015/16)
is within striking distance (7.5 pts) and chasing a precious "10th"
Massey with not a word of "It's in the Bag!" this year.
The Matchplay semi finalists are Q (4 Semis, 3
Finals for 1 Win) v Bean (10SF,3F,3W) and
Henry
(2SF,2F,1W) v Gooey (6SF,3F,2W).
All four are a chance to achieve the Massey
& Matchplay "Double" with The Mighty Bean also earning another
opportunity of picking up the "Triple Crown" after winning Scoot's
VB Classic earlier this season at Flinders.
Glenn, Murf, Jimmy, Mike, The Bean, Henry, Tubbsy and Wally arrived the
prior afternoon (Thursday). Schimma & Robbo arrived on Friday morning after
staying & having a round in Bendigo. While Gooey and Q rolled up just 10 minutes prior to tee off on Friday after taking a 5
hour "Cook's Tour" in an attempt to dodge peak hour traffic in Melbourne
was diverted via Healesville, Toolangi, Yea, Seymour, Murchison & Rushworth due to
unforseen road closures and other road works along the way.
Groups for the round were drawn in accordance with Murf's devised six man
weekend teams event (Super 6's) as follows.... DM/MR/RW/MB,
AC/GM/JG/MH, & IQ/AS/PW/SL (Matchplay SF's).
The weather was a hot top of 34deg.
At the half way mark scores were: Mike 21, Jimmy 20,
Murf 20, Schima 19, Gooey 18, Henry 16,
Q 16, Bean 16,
Glenn 14, Wally 13, Tubbsy 13 and Robbo 11.
At the conclusion of Friday's round Mike finished with an
impressive 41pts (21 out / 20 in) to win the round easily, 2nd with a 36
was Jimmy (20/16). While everyone else was falling away, Henry
got in for third on 35pts (16/19).
Other scores were: Murf 34 (20/14), Schimma 34 (19/15), Gooey
34 (18/16), Glenn 32 (14//18), Wally 32 (13/19), Bean
31 (16/15),
Q 30 (16/14 ), Robbo 29 (11/18) and Tubbsy 28 (13/15).
Gooey has now taken 1st
place overall with a 1.5 point lead over Bean who crashed heavily and
Paul (I don't win the Massey everyone else looses it) West, was
the big
mover, now into 3rd just 2.5 off the lead. Meanwhile Q
continues his downward spiral into equal 4th and 7.5 points behind with
Mike. Schimma heads up the rest 11.5 pts off the lead.
Nancarrow's Cup Match Play semi finalists were Q v Bean and
Henry
v Gooey.
The Front 9: Beano takes an early lead on the first
with a 5 for 3 then wipes the 2nd to bring it back to all square.
Another 5/3 and then a wipe on 3 & 4 keeps it at AS. Q has a 5/3 on the
5th to go 1up. 2pts apiece on the 6th then Q wipes the 7th and Bean goes
1up. Q has two strokes on the par 3 8th and registers a par for 4pts then
casually wipes the 9th as Bean bounces back and it is all square.
Gooey got off to a flyer with a birdie for 4pts as Henry wipes the
first. 3pts for Paul on the par 4 2nd squares it back up. The 3rd is
halved then Gooey gets a 3 pointer on the par 3 4th hole. Paul hits
straight back with 3 pts on 5 then Gooey replies with another 3 pts to
go 1up after 6. 7 & 8 are halved with 2 pts then Gooey wipes the
9th as Henry scrambles in with 1pt to also turn all square.
The Back 9: A halved hole on 10 before Bean goes 1up
after 11 as Q wipes. Bean then wipes 12 & 13 to hand back the lead.
Three pts each on 14 then the long walk to 16 (15 out of play) which is
also halved. Q wipes 17 and it is all square again with just 18 & 19 to play.
Q goes ahead with 3 pts on 18 but The Bean has 2 strokes on the par 3
19th. Bean bogies for 3pts as Q somehow wipes it and we have ourselves a
play off!
Two points each for Gooey & Henry on the 10th before Paul birdies 11
for 3pts and another 3 pts on 12 to go 2up. Gooey's wins 13 2pts to 1. Both
bogie the par 4 14th for 2 pts then both par the par 3 16th which sees
Gooey tie it all back up with an extra stroke. Gooey then wipes 17. The
18th is halved (2pts each) and Henry goes to the last 1up but Gooey has an extra stroke on the par 3 19th
hole. Henry pars it for 2 pts but Gooey answers with his own par and we
have ourselves another playoff!!!
The Playoffs: The
playoffs are to be staged on the par 3 19th hole where Gooey & Bean have
an extra stroke over their opponents. First off is Gooey & Henry and
both hit the green. Henry has two putts for a par and Gooey nails his two
putts to secure the win and go through to his 4th Matchplay Final to bag
his 3rd title.
Beano then tees off and is short of the green. Q's tee shot is on the
lower front half of the green (flag at the back). Bean's 2nd shot stays
on the lower half, Q then putts up to 1m and putts out for par. The
pressure now on Bean as he putts up but not enough to get up and rolls
part way back (an inch more and it could have rolled all the way off!). The Bean then steps up for a shaky 3-4m
uphill put that stops
at the lip for a second then drops in for the half - back we go
again... but there is a very large group congregating at the tee to
witness another playoff. So we decide to go back to the rooms with the
others to have a "hard earned" and come back when it is quieter. A half
hour later we saunter back to the hole and this group of Nimrods are
still there - turns out they were having an 18 person sudden death
shootout and had only just wittled it down to their final two. We stood
at the tee ready to go as we watched them putt out, while the others
were massed to the left of the green. Beano lands on the front of the
green and Q is in the front bunker. As we approach the green the large
group were still gathered there (heads on 'em like mice!) as two others
head back to the tee again - they had halved the hole and were still going!
Fucking great... anyway Q somehow manages to hit the llooong bunker shot
to 1m and make par as Bean easily 3 putts and its back to the tee while
we watch the other pair fucking halve it again....
The third playoff hole sees us halve it again with a par & bogey (I
suddenly got the feeling Beano could bogey this hole all night long).
Naturally, the other pair also halved again (did I mention that they
were triple bogeying - seriously!!). On our 4th playoff hole
("I SAID 4th JIMMY!!") Bean once again, from on the front
of the green gets his bogey while after 3 consecutive pars I eventually
(and predictably) 3 putt. As we patted each other on the back and made
our way to the cart near the madding crowd another errant tee shot from
the pair of Nimrods bounces and
hits Bean right on the outside of his thigh instantly creating a lump the size
of a golf ball, and so Bean "limps" into his 4th final chasing his 4th
win. Thank fuck that was over.....
Gooey
d Henry 1st play off hole.
Beano d Q 4th play off hole.
The Match Play Finalists (to be played on Sunday) are Gooey v Bean. Both with a chance of
achieving The
Massey Double and the Triple Crown is also still alive for The Mighty
Bean.
Friday evening was well spent with a very nice BBQ by the pool (meat
expertly prepared by
Jimmy) and plenty more BS throughout the night.
Super 6ixers;
Teams were drawn before the round by the Captains Henry & Bean
(standing in for the yet to be seen Q).
The format for Day 1 is Fourball Best Ball Pairs, Day 2 is Stableford
Aggregate Pairs and Day3 Matchplay Singles.
The pairings for the matches are called "Ryder Cup" style by each
Captain (Bean still standing in for the still to be seen Q!!)
The teams are Team A - IQ/AS/DM/MR/AC/GM and Team B - PW/SL/JG/MH/RW/MB
The FBBB matches were called by the Captains as follows: IQ/AS v PW/SL (also the
matchplay semi finals); DM/MR v RW/MB and AC/GM v JG/MH.
Day 1 FBBB Results were:
Match 1 - RW/MB (B) d DM/MR (A) 1up.
Match 2
- JG/MH (B) d AC/GM (A)
4 & 3.
Match 3 - PW/SL(B) d IQ/AS (A) 3 & 2.
Team B take a 3 Nil lead into Day 2.
The Final
Round (inc. Stableford Aggregate Pairs matches) is to be played at Rich
River GC (West Course) Echuca / Moama
on Saturday 22 February at 8.04am.
The Groups/Super 6's matches are.... Match 4 - AS/GM (A) v MH/RW (B),
Match 5 - IQ/DM (A) v JG/PW (B) & Match 6 - AC/MR (A) v SL/MB (B).
Coming soon to a computer screen near
you.......
Will Gooey sweat it out and hold on
for Massey number 4 or will "I've never won The Massey" Westy "not"
win his 10th? Can The Mighty Bean write another chapter of his
Triple Crown Odyssey and sign some more napkins? Does Q steady the
sinking ship and sail in for his
5th Massey (Oh stop laughing!). Or can Mike continue his fine vein of
form to score a miraculous come from behind, albeit unlikely victory?

MATCHPLAY SINGLES & MATCHPLAY FINAL! |
The "Massey Final's Super
Weekend" rounds are for the first time ever to be held at Rich River GC
on Friday 21
Feb
@ 12.36pm and Saturday
22 Feb @ 8.04am playing stableford.
I believe that on Sunday 23 Feb @ 7.32am also at Rich River will be
the
"matchplay singles" day of the proposed "all
weekend" 6 v 6 (Ryder Cup style) matchplay teams event which will
also include The Matchplay Final! The groups for
Friday & Saturday will be drawn to reflect the 6 man teams, being
represented by 2 v 2 in each group and will be playing a fourball/bestball
on Friday
for "all weekend" team points and Fourball/Aggregate Pairs on
Saturday in conjunction with the Massey & Matchplay
events. (Refer to Murf's post on The Forum).
Murf will have it all sorted - just shut up and listen very
carefully for thirty seconds!!! (That will be like trying to herd cats).
The
Matchplay semi finalists will be in the last group on Friday & the
finalists also in the last group on Sunday.
Sundays playing
groups including the all important singles match ups will be
selected by the Team Captains on Saturday arvo/night.
Massey Recap:-
Beano, chasing his third Massey crown, last won
when he completed his self acclaimed "Triple Crown" in 2011/12 has
a 2.5 pt lead over Gooey (chasing his
4th, last won in 2018/19). Meanwhile Q has slumped to third and now
5 pts behind following two very disappointing rounds, clinging on in hope
for a 5th title (last one was 2020/2021), but the real smoky currently
in 4th who has been thereabouts all year without causing much fanfare is
Henry (who last won in 2015/16) is within striking distance (7.5
pts) and chasing a precious "10th" Massey with no word of "It's in
the Bag!" this year, could he have something more to say? Schimma
& Mike head up the rest of the field, trailing
by 14 points plus!
The Matchplay semi finals are Q (4 Semis, 3
Finals for 1 Win) v Bean (10SF,3F,3W) and Henry
(2SF,2F,1W) v Gooey (6SF,3F,2W).
All four semi finalists are a chance to achieve the Massey
& Matchplay "Double" with The Mighty Bean also earning an
opportunity of picking up yet another "Triple Crown" after winning Scoot's
VB Classic earlier this season at Flinders.
I reckon he is already working on his acceptance speech where he will
probably try and tyre lever in some sort of "Grand Slam" after winning the much lesser
and highly overrated competition I think they call The Beaver or
something - otherwise known as the Massey qualifying school! If he does
then I will be first in line for another signed napkin...

ROUND FIVE
WRAP - DROUIN GC |
Hot & Dry with a top of
32deg
for our return to Drouin. Where we had three scratchings, which
included Jimmy, Wally & Tubbsy and it was great to see the return of
Fussy in a fill in role.
The Bean backed up his win at Flinders with another resounding
result of 41 pts (20 out / 21 in) to go back to back and rocket
to the top of the leader board. Gooey also compiled a very
respectable score of 39 (18/21) to propel him to 2nd overall. While
a 3 way tie for third occurred between Henry 37pts (17/20), Schimma
37 (21/16) and Robbo 37 (17/20).
Other scores were:
Murf 36 (17/19), Fussy 35 (16/19), Mike 33 (16/17), Glenn
33 (17/16) & Q 32 (16/16).
Beano, chasing his third Massey crown, last won
when he completed his self acclaimed "Triple Crown" in 2011/12 has
now jumped to a 2.5 pt lead over Gooey (chasing his
4th, last won in 2018/19). Meanwhile Q has slumped to third and now
5 pts behind following two very disappointing rounds, clinging on in hope
for a 5th title (last one was 2020/2021), but the real smoky currently
in 4th who has been thereabouts all year without causing much fanfare is
Henry (who last won in 2015/16) is within striking distance (7.5
pts) and chasing a precious "10th" Massey with no word of "It's in
the Bag!" this year, could he have something more to say? Schimma
& Mike head up the rest of the field, trailing
by 14 points plus!
The Nancarrow's Cup match play results were as follows:
Pool A -
Fussy (sub for
Jimmy) d Murf 1 up; Gooey d Schimma 2 up; Q d Tubbsy by Forf.
Pool B - Bean d Robbo 6 & 5; Glenn d Wally by
Forf;
Mike v Henry AS.
The matchplay semi finals are Q (4 Semis, 3
Finals for 1 Win) v Bean (10SF,3F,3W) and Henry
(2SF,2F,1W) v Gooey (6SF,3F,2W).
The final rounds are at
Rich River GC, Moama on Friday 21 February at 12.36pm and Saturday 22
February at 8.04am. Then on Sunday 23 February at 7.32am, which I am now
hearing is
to be the "matchplay singles" day of the proposed all weekend 6 man
(Ryder Cup style) matchplay teams event set to bring an almighty climax to our "Finals
Weekend Spectacular".

2022-23 - FINAL ROUND
WRAP - COBRAM BAROOGA - OLD COURSE |
Another warm 28 deg forecast and not
much wind to speak of, you might say perfect conditions for golf with
absolutely, positively no fucking excuses. Some might even suggest that
if you didn't do well today then you weren't trying!!!
More history to be made with either a 2nd Massey or Matchplay for Mike
(50Pts),a 10th Massey for Paul "it's definitely in the fucking bag" West
(48Pts) or number four for Murf (also 48 - even if he is more focussed
on
and apparently been training all year with a steely resolve to win his maiden Matchplay title) or can the longshot Bean (41.5) fuck their shit up for
his 2nd title.
The Groups were drawn..... AS/GM/SL/Stoney, IQ/MB/JG/MR &
DM/MH/Joel/PW.
(The leading four in bold letters).
At the half way mark the scores were:
Robbo 20, Wally 18, Mike 16, Henry, Murf,
Glen & Stoney 15's, Gooey & Joel 14, Beano
13, then came teammates in the leading "aggregate team" Jimmy "The
Coach" 11
& Q 10 - Oh my, It was time for a half time pep talk from the
coach "we need to lift Quinny!"
The
"live ladder" with 9 holes remaining would see Mike extend his
lead to 4.5 pts over Henry & Murf, while The Bean has drifted to 13.5 in
arrears with a lot to do.
At the completion of the final round the scores were:
Robbo 41 (20out / 21in), Murf 38 (15/23), Jimmy the
Coach 35 (11/24 - The Coach lifted the roof!), Joel 33 (14/19)
& Glenn 33 (15/18), Stoney 32 (15/17), Gooey 32 (14/18) & Wally 32 (18/14),
Mike 30 (14/16 Oh oh!), Henry 29 (15/14
- "in the bag"....NOTTT!), Beano 26 (13/13), Q 21 (10/11 -
didn't lift a finger!).
And so, after commencing the final weekend 8.5 points from the lead,
Murf ultimately wins his 4th Massey by 5 points overall after
notching up 40 stableford pts on Friday (2nd place) then came home with
38pts on Saturday (also 2nd place). Which included 23pts on the back
nine - 2 shots under the card (off the stick) if you don't mind..... In
doing so he has broken a 24 year drought. Mike wasn't able to do enough to hang
on for the win but it was enough to finish runner up for the 4rth time.
Perhaps the forgotten story is the total capitulation from 9 time winner "it's in the bag"
Paul Henry West who failed to get 30 pts on either day to finish the
final weekend with two 10th placings to settle for 3rd overall 8 pts from
the winner (a 16.5 point turnaround).
HANDICAP BEST: D.Murphy
8.0 revised to 7.0 after Walter Lindrum Rule (prev 9.0).
The Nancarrows Cup Matchplay Final: Mike v
Murf
According to a source very, very familiar with the matter;
The Front 9: Giving Mike a 25 shot head start was
always going to prove a tough ask - if he had a good day!
The match started with Mike putting one over the fence off the first tee
to wipe and put Murf 1 up, The game settled in on the tough early holes
with Mike chipping beautifully to take a 1 up lead after 5 holes
(following a win and 3 halved holes). With the match all square after 9.
(a win to Murf and 3 more halved).
The Back 9: A par on the 10th saw Murf lose the hole to
a bogey from Mike (with 2 shots) - the task now seemed impossible with
all the shots to come. 11 was the pivotal hole with Murf hitting a good
drive into the left rough and Mike taking 2 to get to Murf's drive. Then
a raking 6 iron from 150+ to a high green followed by a 20ft birdie for
4 points saw a win over Mikes 3 pointer to draw square in the match.
That proved to be the decisive hole with Mike losing the next 4 holes (2
to 3,1/2,1/2,-/3) for a 4 & 3 win to Murf. The match was much closer
than the scores indicated and it was hard to see a way to beat Mike
until he started missing those chips that he's so good at.
As mentioned earlier, The Mentonian Marvel actually played the
back 9 in 2 under for a fine round that also secured the overall Massey
and achieve the rare fete of The Massey/Matchplay double!
The Weekend Two Day Aggregate
prize money went to the team of DM/GM/MR with 177pts beating a bitterly
disappointed JG/SL/IQ (165), then Joel/Stoney/AS (160) & PW/MH/MB (157).
Stabrose Day was played at Black Bull
GC in Yarrawonga. Gooey had returned home for Grandson's first birthday
and Schimma had recovered just enough to be passed fit to play (under
duress). The three teams were: Stoney/RW/MR/AS, DM/GM/IQ/MB &
PW/Joel/JG/MH, min 4 drives each over 16 holes. DM/GM/IQ/MB
scored just enough (115pts) to win thanks to a sensational 5 iron from
Glenn on the 165m par 3 which finished 1.5 inches short of the hole
enabling Wally & Q (both with 2 shots) to tap in for 5 pts each. Not far
behind were PW/Joel/JG/MH on 112 and Stoney/RW/MR/AS with 110pts. The combination
of Murf & Glenn do it again & again!!
This gives the Mentonian Marvel a never seen before total clean
sweep of all the weekend events.
And now.....At the risk of a relapse and the reoccurrence of PTSD and
possible irreparable damage, my Psych. has encouraged me to share the
worst nightmares of Saturday's eventful round of aggregate team
golf.
After 9 Holes - we need to lift Quinny!

2022-23 ROUND
SIX WRAP - COBRAM BAROOGA - WEST
COURSE |
|
Off to a new destination for our final weekend
away. Where Paul (It's in the bag!!) West, chasing an unprecedented 10th
Massey title is the current leader 2.5 pts
ahead of Mike and a whopping 8.5 pts ahead of Murf in 3rd place. With
Beano 9 pts off the lead in 4th and 5th place Schimma some 13 pts off
the pace and a late scratching after cracking a rib in a mishap at home in
search of the Good FridayTrophy. Costing him a spot in the Matchplay
semi. However, he will be in attendance to reprise the role of Mr
Sguiggle with the return of Bean's now famous whiteboard. Gooey has been promoted to the
semi after originally narrowly missing out.
Glenn, Murf, Jimmy, Mike, The Bean, Henry and "Wally" Beardmore arrived
the prior day (Thursday) where everyone enjoyed (well at least two did)
the Saints big win over the Pies to give the reigning premiers an "Owen
3" start to their season. Schimma, Robbo, Gooey and Q turned up at the
golf course prior to tee off on Friday. Unfortunately, "Freddy" Wigg was
unable to make the trip in his debut season and Joel Wiseman (Sat & Sun)
and another local "Stoney" (Fri, Sat & Sun) helped fill the groups.
Groups for the round were drawn as follows....
PW/MR/IQ, GM/DM/MH/SL (Matchplay SF's), JG/MB/JG/Stoney.
The weather was fine & very warm approx. 27deg.
At the half way mark scores were: Jimmy 23, Murf
21, Q 20, Robbo 19, Stoney 16, Henry &
Glenn 15, Gooey, Mike & Beano 13 and
Wally 12.
At the end of Friday's round Jimmy finished with a
supreme 44 (23 out / 21 in) to win the round easily, 2nd with a very
solid 40 (21/19)
was Murf
while Stoney fought hard to finish on 38pts (16/22) in 3rd place.
Other scores were: Robbo 35 (19/16), Q 33 (20/13), Mike
33 (13/20), Wally 33 (12/21), Bean 31 (13/18), Glenn 29 (15/12),
Henry 27 (15/12 WHAAAT!!!), and Gooey 27 (13/14).
A great fight back by Mike on the
back nine now sees him out in front with a 2 point lead over "It's in
the Bag" Henry who crashed heavily and an inform
Murf, who's great round has enabled him to
reduce an 8.5pt deficit to just the 2. Beano remains the only other
(outside) chance, still in 4th place and 7.5pts from the lead.
HANDICAP BEST: D.Murphy
9.0 (prev 9.6).
Nancarrow's Cup Match Play semi finalists were Glenn v Murf and Mike
v Gooey.
The Front 9: Glenn & Murf halved the 1st with 2pts
each, then Glenn with a 3 pointer goes 1up, On 3 Murf bounces back with
a 3 to square it up, then on 4 he drops a 1 pointer to go one down before making
another 3 to even it up again after 5. Glenn then wipes 6 & 7 and Murf
shoots 3's on 8 & 9 to win 5 on end to turn 4up.
Gooey takes an early lead in the other match with two soft wins to be 2up after 2. the 3rd
is halved, another wipe by Mike and he is now 3 down after 4. Mike has
now finished his warm up and fires 3 pointers on 5, 6 & 8. 7 & 9 were
halved and it is all square after 9.
The Back 9: Another win on 10 and Murf is now 5up.
Glenn hit back with a 3 on 11, 12 is halved with a pair of 3's. Glenn
takes 13 to bring it back to 3 down. 14 & 15 are halved and it is Dormy
3! Glenn wipes 16 and it is a 4 & 3 victory to Murf, presenting him with
his 3rd opportunity for a maiden Matchplay title and erase the demons of
the previous two defeats.
Three points each for Gooey & Mike on the 10th followed by two more
halved holes at 11 & 12 and it is still all square. On the par 3 13th
both sink par puts but it's 4 pts to 3 Mikes way to break the deadlock.
14 is also halved then Mike takes 15 & 16 to score a hard fought 3 & 2
win to remain undefeated in semi's and advance to his 4th final looking
for his 2nd title.
Murf
d Glenn 4 & 3
Mike d Gooey 3 & 2.
The Match Play Finalists are Murf v Mike. (Both with a chance of
achieving The
Massey Double)
Friday evening was well spent with a very nice BBQ (meat purchased by
Wally) and plenty of BS through the night culminating in Q & The Bean
putting in the big ones until 1.30am. Who's idea was that Bean?? I
have said it before and I'll say it again.... Never Again Bean, Never
Never Never Again!!!

Course

Will "It's in the bag" Westy
steady the ship and pick up
his 10th Massey or will Murf (desperate for his maiden Matchplay trophy
and a bonus 4th Massey). Or does Mike take out the Massey Double for his
2nd Massey & Matchplay? Can The Bean have luck on his side to bring
home an unlikely 3rd win? What does The Coach have to say? - Stay tuned folks.....
