Hi Guys,

just watched Tarheel's final round at Angel River against my own round and there was nothing in it. I managed to get a two-shot lead on the front nine, but some fantastic play by Tarheel saw him tie the match up with only a few holes to go. Fortunately, my putter came to my rescue again and I manage to pull away at the end for a hard earned two-shot win.

On another note, I have not heard anything from Juan since 23 April, despite having PM'd him, asking about his situation. So, until I hear further, I can only assume that "Juan has left the building". Should he complete his rounds I will adjust the scorecards accordingly.

On that basis, here are the results for our last tournament:

As you can see, everything remains close across the board. I suspect some handicaps will be changing shortly, as some low scores from rounds some time ago drop off the calculations. This will make the tournament scores even closer and tighten up the FedUp Cup standings as well.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

further to my post about Robyn and I going away for nine weeks from 14 June, the next two people to select courses and conditions are Galen and Tarheel. No rush, but whenever you can post these details, I can play my rounds for you all to play against while we are away. I hope you are all happy with these arrangements.

Cheers

Brad

Hi all! Wow, I'm getting behind :)

With loss of power for two days and moving my girl from Nashville, etc. I'm still catching upon on WS backlog too...

I'll try to get my four rounds played over the next week for OT :)

No hurry Brad.

I'm just trying to get my rounds done ahead of time, as I won't be able to play when we are away. You guys can take your time.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

as is my want, I just watched Randy's Rd 3 against Galen's and there was a certain level of revenge extracted by Randy for his previous two Handicap and Stableford loses to Galen in Rds 1 and 2. After a flying start by Randy, things settled down and became a lot more even. Randy took a three-shot lead into the back nine, increasing this to four on the tenth. Galen fought hard to reduce the deficit and despite Randy having a couple of brain fades late in the back nine, Galen was unable to take advantage and Randy ran out a comfortable winner.

Here is my Rd 4 file. Some of the putts I had were just plain scary, but thankfully my old faithful putter came through, yet again.

Fantastic course.

Thank you, Philip (and Fish)!

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

here's my first round at Kittery Point. There are some very tough pin placements this round. Kittery Point is a very nice course and I think, under medium winds, it will really test your positional play, both on the fairway and the green. Challenge accepted Mr. Derouin! :up:

Cheers
