OttawaGolf Match Play Ladder

**Kilroy** · 03-03-2009 09:48 AM

Starting signups for our new OttawaGolf Match Play Ladder today!

The Ladder will open for challenges on April 15.

Challenge other players as you work your way up the ladder. The goal is to climb all the way to the top, then see how long you can remain on top when you get there!

For more information: OttawaGolf Match Play Ladder

To sign up for the Ladder PM Kilroy.

Are the challenges based on handicap? I would assume so right?

**Kilroy** · 03-03-2009 10:32 AM

No, but handicaps are used when scoring.

**rezadue** · 03-03-2009 11:26 AM

Me too!

**Kilroy** · 03-03-2009 11:37 AM

I've put you on the list reza

**leftylucas** · 03-03-2009 12:41 PM

Reza, come to me, we will meet once again but dont cry this time!

**Indio** · 03-03-2009 02:15 PM

Oh Mr. Kilroy sir,

any plans on opening up the 'team' Match Play Ladder??? That one would be quite fun and interesting given the friendships that have been formed and the 'characters' in here

I can see it now, Hoolio and Sakuraba VS Indio and Hacker

There wouldn't be safe to be on that course for 4 to 4 1/2 hours!

**Colby** · 03-03-2009 02:43 PM

Have you plsyed in team match play events? I play in my home course event every year and it's hard enough to schedule four players with a single course option, I would hate to see the logistics of trying to schedule four players on a mutually agreeable course from the list around Ottawa...

**Kilroy** · 03-03-2009 03:16 PM

I was thinking teams would be tough for scheduling as well. Let's see how the singles go this year. Creating ladders is not a problem. Participation is the key.

**Gropper** · 03-03-2009 03:18 PM

I'm in!

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply here, but just because 75% of the fairways I play off aren't connected to the hole I teed off on, doesn't mean I'm responsible for the unsafe condition of the whole course.

Now I can't speak for Sak, I'm pretty sure he's got a little Australian in him the way he hit's some "boomerang" shots with that Titleist driver of his.

**LobWedge** · 03-03-2009 04:31 PM

Dan, can you clarify "Players may play whatever tees they wish"?

Can A play the whites, and B play the blues, or do they have to come to a mutual agreement to play from the same tees?

Just wondering because Section 3-5 of the handicap manual would factor in if different tees are used within the same match.

It would have nothing to do with our golf skills (or in my case lack there of).

You are correct sir. I'll ammend the rules description with a recommendation that players play the same tees.

Thanks for the heads up buddy.

I've only got enough room in my bag for the rules and decisions. I can't squeeze in the handicap manual and a slide rule too.

**luigicactus** · 03-03-2009 04:50 PM

I'm suppose to move to Ottawa in june, can I sign in anyways??

**Kilroy** · 03-03-2009 04:53 PM

Best if you join when you get here or you may be challenged prematurely. This ladder will be open and continue to grow over time.

Good to know

I'm tempted to join, but was going to refrain since I ended last season on a tear that saw my HCP index dropping as much as a whole point per round. It wouldn't be particularly fair for anyone I challenged (or anyone who challenged me) if I pick up where I left off (and I hope to

). Now I'll just wait until my index has stabilized somewhat before I opt in.

**Gray1512** · 03-04-2009 09:39 AM

Hi, I'd like to join. Does this count as me signing up or do I have to do something else?

Thanks

**quinner** · 03-04-2009 11:23 AM

Just out of curiosity how many points did the leader have and approximately how many matches would he have played?

**Kilroy** · 03-04-2009 11:32 AM

The ladder has not started yet. The list above is not the starting rankings. Everyone will start with 1000 points. Points will be added for wins and subtracted for losses, how many points will depend on the difference between the players.

**quinner** · 03-04-2009 12:57 PM

I understand how it works, I was under the assumption that you did this last year as well. However I have been mistaken before...according to the wife.

**Kilroy** · 03-04-2009 12:59 PM

We started one last season but the software was not suitable so it was abandoned.

**rezadue** · 03-04-2009 02:20 PM

I just saw this. I want a rematch Mr. Luc.
