Keep fingers crossed for me

**ironmaster15213** · 09-14-2006 01:09 PM

Next Wednesday I have the chance to do something that has never been done in any of my golf leagues before! I may be able to go 20 for 20 in match play and stroke play this second half of the season. I know that the odds are ridiculous and that I have to play the number one player next week(and he is a great player) but hey what was the chances of 18 matches in a row to this point especially with 100% handicaps, I was giving 6 and 7 strokes many of those rounds and still pulled it out. I have no explanation for my luck(with a touch of skill

)But even if I lose next week It was an incredible run of fortune.

Good Luck IM - that's a mighty impressive streak that you're on!!

**Txxxxxxx** · 09-14-2006 01:13 PM

Good luck. I'm sure you're play well if you've gone that long on a streak.

**The Saint** · 09-14-2006 01:47 PM

Good luck! Stay the course and play your game!!

**Pinshark** · 09-14-2006 01:56 PM

Win or lose that's an amazing feat! Congrats!

Careful ironmaster, I went 10 for 10 one year to win the match play at my course and all it got me was people calling me a sandbagger

. I referred to those people as 'chokers'.

....Oh I hear that term all the time

I laugh cause how can you call someone a sandbagger if he just got done shooting under par. Just how good do they think I am????? I figured out the odds of my winning 20 in a row and it's one in 1,048,576

No pressure here

**leftylucas** · 09-14-2006 02:37 PM

Quick, with odds like that buy yourself a lottery ticket, on the other nhand just keep doing what you have been doing, it is obvioulsy working, that is a fantastic record.

**Big Johnny69** · 09-14-2006 05:08 PM

Good luck Frank, I'm sure you'll do just fine.

......The good or bad news won't be till this Wednesday, I dodged a bullet last Wednesday when I bogied the first hole (a short par five

) It was raining and my glove was soaked, the club turned in my hand my second and third shots and wound up with a 6. I took off my glove and played with my bare hands after that and played 2 under from that point on.

I did it!!!!! Beat him 36 to 37 with him giving me a stroke. It was truly an exciting match, I had to throw 3 birdies at him the first 6 holes to go 2 up, he fought back to within one and I made a 32 foot par putt with 6 foot of break on the next to the last hole (thanks to putting my drive into a pine tree) to put some pressure on him with his 10 foot birdie putt, he just came up 2 inches short, It was extremely down hill so he couldn't take a chance on 3 putting. One of my birdies was a pitch in from 27 yards which had him shaking his head. But I feel he was a little off his game and I was very lucky. Thanks everybody for keeping your fingers crossed, It also made me play a little harder just so I wouldn't let you down. 20 for 20 in stroke and match play, I cannot believe it!!!!

WAY TO GO FRANK!

**spackler** · 09-20-2006 09:13 PM

That's awesome, nice job!

That is a truly amazing feat congratulations!

**little brit** · 09-20-2006 10:29 PM

Incredible

"Richard" · 09-20-2006 11:04 PM

way to go frank.. my streak came to an end when I failed to lose to dan, I'm looking to start a new streak with geoff tomorrow. But seriously, congrats. They say that if you give your TRUE cap and the FC gives his true cap there is a 50/50 shot you will win (I actually have another theory on that but lets not get into that now). For you to win 20 straight matches 0.000095% chance of that happening (obviiously I haven't taken into account draws and other factors but not everyone will understand it as I am much smarter than everyone else)

Depe, are you sure you weren't the PR Manager for 'Atila The Hun' in his heyday?
