The course was in very good condition. The greens were FIRM! I imagine the greens on a Sunday at the US Open are about like they are at KL.

[Colby]

Andy and I are playing tomorrow at 2:47 at Talon and there are two free spots if anyone else would like to play. I will be cancelling the spots this afternoon.

Colby wins 1up after 19 holes.

Colby had me dormie after 15 3up with 3 to play. I got a stroke on 16 and won the hole after we each bogeyed. Managed a par on 17 to Colby's three putt bogey to put the match 1up through 17. After a fantastic pitch tight for a tap in birdie on eighteen the match was all square. First extra hole with two great drives in the fairway I proceeded to duff my second and the match was all but over. I had a great time. The course and staff were top notch. Colby is a very gracious host. Thanks for the match, look forward to getting out with you again. Best of luck in your next match.

Andy,

It was a great match, you worked hard to pull even after 18. It was a great afternoon/evening, we ended up playing an additional 9 holes just for fun. Hopefully we can get back out at some point.

I won 5 up against Sakuraba. The course was great at the Outaouais, greens were swift and true. Andrew was great company and we had a great time. The match was a lot closer than the final score. We even managed to squeeze in a couple of extra holes after the match for good measure.

I assume you mean 5&4. Congrats on the win.

All the matches have also been updated in our OG Forum Match Play Pool.

I think its called 5 up, it was dormie 4 and I think luc actually won the hole as I was trying to ram my birdie in from 25 feet, and only took a casual swipe at the par, as luc was about 10 feet for net birdie.

1st time at outaouais, I had a great time, great company, great course & good luck luc!

[Colby]

5 and 3

5 up and 3 holes remaining.

There is no dormie in htis match play event as all matches have to have a winner. You won 5 up with 4 holes left?? That would be 5 and 4

He was 4 up with 4 to go and then won the next hole so 5 & 3

[Sakuraba]

correct
5&3 lets stop posting about it, it was a little painful, I was 4 down after 5 holes

[leftylucas]

Andrew, you made some great shots, you just got off to a bad start. I see you are definitely a player, no reason to hang your head. Two of those sand shots were just fantastic and your chips were on the money

No dormie? There can always be dormie in match play...

[NoBack]

Not if there has to be a winner. How can you be safe of not loosing if you would have lost on the 19th hole. Doesnt the term "dormie" mean that you CANT lose? You are doemie with 3 up and 3 to go if half points are given for a tie. No?

[Nat Williams]

i thought dormie meant you can't win in regulation .. not you can't win.

not sure though.

[GarthM]

in match play, a player is dormie when leading a match by as many holes as there are left (ie 4 up with 4 holes to play). The player who is down must win every hole to save the match and force its continuation past the last regular hole (if a winner must be determined) or halve the match (in a team competition such as the Ryder Cup).

you are a gentleman, luc. & don't let me take anything away from you, I didn't play that badly, you played some great golf & made the shots you needed to win.

thanks Garth

I haven't looked at this thread for a while. I take it that the challenge matches and the related software are a go. Is that so?

I believe you are confusing this with the Ladder software. Dan took it down because it had too many issues. Somebody else is supposed to be writing a new one but we haven't heard about that in a while...

[mpare]

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I forgot that there was another match play on the go.

[Eldred]

Anybody knows where 4jag is? I've booked a match play with him this Sunday. He hasn't reply to any of my pm yet. I checked on Members List and noticed he's not been on this forum for 2 weeks now... Just wondering ...Thanks.

[LBH]

So bobblehead and myself played this evening our OG Match Play (round 2) at Irish Hills.

To make a long story short, bobblehead is 1 up after 16. On the green of 17, he marks his ball and proceeds to clean it by rubbing the ball on the green. Rules of golf are clear: one cannot test the surface of the putting green (rule 16.1d).

<<
During the play of a hole, a player must not test the surface of the putting green by rolling a ball or roughening or scraping the surface.
>>

So I call him on it, explain to him that the penalty in match play for doing so is "loss of hole".

Therefore the match is back to all square.

At this point he informs me that he "has done it all game long". I did not notice him doing it, therefore did not call a penalty of those other holes. He also said he did it all the time in his previous match againt mbarroso.

Anyway, he wins the 18th hole.

Question is: Does bobblehead win 1up? If not, what happens to the other holes where he tested the surface of the putting green by rubbing the ball on the green to clean it?

Not sure where to go with this.

Help!

Thanks

LBH

P.S.: Thanks for the match Terry. Whatever the outcome is, it was a pleasure to play with you and would love to do so again.

See Decision 16-1d/5.

16-1d/5 Rubbing Ball on Putting Green for Cleaning Purposes


Q. May a player clean his ball by rubbing it on the putting green?

A. Yes, provided the act is not for the purpose of testing the surface of the putting green. It is recommended that a ball be cleaned in other ways to eliminate any question as to the player’s intentions.
