Waterfield Report June 23 Rob/Glen vs GordT/LilBob

FMB!!!!!! Put 4 players in a pressure cooker, close the lid and
turn up the heat! A match beyond fun for drama and good golf.

Bobby's 5 birds and great chipping, including two chip-in birds on 10
and 12, took him to a gross 73 / net 67. Glen scrambled to gross 75 /
net 68. Rob and Gord won or held key holes as wonderful partners will do.

Team Nets: Rob/Glen 70 GordT/LilBob 69.

Only 6 holes won or lost. High drama on 17 & 18. R/G licking chops on
17 after Bobby left with little hope, Gord right of trap, Glen 8' for
bird. Gord lobs a chip which hit pin. Easy par! Glen missed putt.

Rob and Glen each 12' to white pin for birds on 18. Gord in right
trap. Bobby skulls to back fringe. Another great chip by Bobby for
tap in par! FMB again!!

GordT/LilBob score line. 0 0 0 +1 +2 +1 +1 0 0 / +1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0. Match a draw!!! Neither team could win but refused to
lose....... A fitting result.

Waterfield Match Report June 21, 2013. Rob/Glen vs Chuck/Steve

First day of summer was a beauty day. Finally hot and dry on the
Rivendell course which was in perfect shape. Magnificent greens.

Ch/S off to a fast start going 3 up after 3. Steve with a fine long
putt to birdie #2. Must have been those new-fangled range finders. Both
Chuck and Steve spent better part of the match gawking at flags. R/G
did not panic (outwardly) and the battle continued to the final putt on
#18.
The match featured 8 birdies equally distributed between teams. Most
remarkable was Rob's on #11! Most fun was the finale with both Rob and
Steve birdying 18 to decide the match.

Most intimidating was Chuck whose intense demeanor combined with
impeccable clothing style and pristine equipment emitted a formidable
aura. His stare at the cart girl on 15 was blood curdling.

Chuck and Steve's score line
1 2 3 2 1 2 1 1 1 / 0 -1 -2 -1 -1 -2 -2 -1 -1.

Rob/Glen Net 71 (win 1up with no holes to play)

Chuck/Steve Net 75

Waterfield Report / Match May 31, 2013 Mac/Bob vs Glen Rob

Fantastic weather for a 3:30 tee time. Nice to play into the evening. Garrison greens finally rolling nice. Too bad, cause all bogeyed the first hole with definite "nerves".
First damage on No 4 with a Bob birdie. Mac first of many lips on 5 can't match net birdies by Glen/Rob. Bob birdies 6 but Rob counters with his own bird after ball teeters in the left side of hole. Routine bird by Rob on 8 puts Glen/Rob up 1. Mac's strokes have yet to kick in.

After sleepy 9 & 10 Mac/Bob win 11 with pars and 12 with another Bob bird. A Glen par on 13 brings match back to even. A Glen par on 14 after errant drives and yet another Mac lip wins hole to go 1 up. Not for long: Bob birdies 15 to even the match.

Tee at 16 saw Bob O.B. and Mac's 2nd shot in bush right. Glen/Rob 1 up. Mac's cold putter could not take advantage of stroke on 17 and match is dormie. Glen/Rob routine pars on 18. Bob in Nick territory on far side of 10 but forgot Nick's yardage book! Mac on in 3 but............ Glen/Rob are grateful to win hard fought match 1/0.

Glen 77 net 70
Rob 76 net 68 (my hero!)

Bob 75 net 69 (4 birdies!)
Mac 93 net 74 (warm heart - cold putter)

In Summary:

Tom chips in from 100' on three, sinks from 25' for birdie on 9, sinks from 18' for birdie on 11, sinks from 90' for birdie on 15 and sinks from 15' for par on 16. Three birdies versus six bogies adds up to 75 net 66.

Ken did more than provide moral support. He was very demanding of his partner. He did hit the wrong ball on 1. He did three putt 2 to snatch a half from the jaws of a win. He did halve 4 with a par,  win 5 with a net birdie and sink a halving 4 footer on 12 after Tom had missed from a foot. Plus he was good company who shared fabulous news that Stef had been accepted into Macmaster's medical school. 

Fred beat Nick on the 14th to contribute to the other team.

 

Nick's score counted alone on 1, 4,6,7,8,10,13,15 and 16.

 

A great match on a fantastic day for golf. Ken and Tom win 3, 5, 9, 11. Fred and Nick win 8 and 14. 2 and 1 for one of the pre season favourites.

Tom 75 - 66

Ken 81 - 71 (with a 7 on 1)

Fred 83 - 73

Nick 81 - 68

 

 Another wonderful Waterfield match where no team was ever up by more than 1.
That should be noted should anyone have any questions regarding the participants handicaps.

1. Bob managed a 5 to tie the hole. Being the recorder, I only say this to get my name briefly in the summary.
2. Nick's par wins. 1up Nick and Fred.
3. Mac chips up Fred's surprised ass. He says he didn't mean it but it was the start. Tied with 4's.
4. Mac and his partner played the hole as a twosome. Match even.
5. Nick and Fred stroking both had net birdies. 1up F&N.
6. Mac and Nick tie. Nick hitting a wonderful shot from right of the big bush after his strategic fairway wood safety shot.
7. Everyone short except Mac whose putt from the back of the green stops inches away. Tie. Still 1up F&N.
8. Mac's net par wins. All square.
9. Mac's net eagle wins. 1up Mac and whoever.

!0. Bob and Nick manage to sink putts for par and net par respectively.
11. Tied in pars. Still 1up Mac and whoever. It could have been anyone.
12. Fred and Nick play as a twosome. All square
13. Beautiful birdie by Fred. 1up F&N.
14. Tied again with bogeys.
15. Who would have guessed it if they had been following but Bob is successful on a long birdie putt. All square.
16. Mac asks his partner to help him take off his pants. He is obviously more comfortable asking this than his partner is at doing it but it is accomplished after kind , well rehearsed words and Mac nets par for the half.
17,18. Mac is net par, net eagle-almost sinking his third shot. Nick was last seen on 18 humping a tree on the right trying to extract his strategic fairway wood safety shot.

   So it came down to 18 tied and Mac came through magnificently. And it was about time. I was getting tired of carrying him.

Play for 2007 can commence anytime. Valid current handicaps are necessary. Handicaps as they are determined on the computer at Garrison. For those of you who went south and golf those scores are NOT PERMITTED for your Waterfield Cup handicap. I repeat, no scores from out of the country permitted.

White tees until July 1st

Blue tees July 1st. That also means blue tee handicaps.

The final is to be played on or before Saturday, September 22 so schedule your games accordingly.

Check out the team info for player restrictions and playability.

The following will be in effect for all Waterfield Cup matches:

The rules of golf are to be followed in spirit with the penalties as predetermined. No member of either team is to call a penalty on the other if the opportunity was there to advise the opponent ahead of or during the potential rules breach. eg "Hey guys, do we all have 14 clubs?" or "Careful not to alter the lie in the long grass or break off some branches on that tree before you take your swing."

EXCEPT:

In the case of a potential lost ball/ball in a hazard, a provisional can be played without declaring it such. If the original ball is found, the entire group is free to offer reasonable comment as to whether the original ball is playable as it lies or offers reasonable relief with a two club length unplayable. If the group agrees that the original ball would not be played in any way except by returning to the previous position, the second ball is deemed to be the replacement ball with no need to return to the original spot and hit a third legally dropped ball. No one is going back to re hit if the provisional/non provisional offers a solution.

14 clubs.

etc etc.

Here's my report of our first Waterfield match on Friday May 17th:

    A lot of bizarre things happened at Garrison this past weekend. Glen went four up in a Mano only to lose that lead to Fred, only to win it back and put the double defending champion in grave danger of not getting out of the round robin. Chuck won his whole division of the Mano in one round. Yours truly took only ten shots to play 3, 4 and 5 on Saturday (I will give $10 to the first person who beats that this year) including an ace on #3. Chuck and Fred were 6 down after eight to GMcD and John McDonald, who made five pars on the back and still lost to back-to-back birdies on 17 byChuck and on 18 by Fred. But the strangest, craziest, most unlikely event occurred when winless-to-date GordT and Bobby Sly beat the previously undefeated and heavily favoured Wayne/GMcD team in a Friday Waterfield match. Here's how they did it.

#1 Wayne and GMcD have tap in pars. GT is off the green. The bastard rolls in a 50 footer for bird to put his squad one up.
#2 Wayne and GT par for a push
#3 GMcD has the best shot to 12 feet. But LB gets up and down while GMcD goes putt-putt-putt and GT/LB are 2up.
#4 Wayne gets one back with a net birdie. GT/LB 1 up
#5 Wayne's net par matches LB's par. No blood.
#6 GMcD's net par matches GT's par. No blood.
#7 GMcD's par matches those of both his opponents. No blood.
#8 Wayne's 15 footer for par drops to match LB's of similar distance. No blood.
#9 LB makes 7 but everyone else makes 6. No blood.
#10 Wayne's net par matches real ones by the other guys. No blood.
#11 All 3s. No blood.
#12 GT plays it "maturely" (his word), doesn't go for the back right pin but leaves it pin high 25 left, then rolls it in for birdie. Blood. GT/LB 2up
#13 GT and LB both make par. Wayne's three putts and GMcD's bath mean it's GT/LB 3up
#14 GMcD makes par. Nobody can match it. GT/LB 2 up
#15 A turning point hole. Wayne is close in two then goes brain dead and ends up with 7. GMcD is able to match GT's par. LB is in the trap left. He hits the sweetest little sand shot this reporter has seen in many a year. It settles six inches from the hole. Birdie from the sand! What do you call that?? GT/LB Dormie.
#16 Everyone nets to 5. It's not good enough. The unthinkable has happened - GT/LB win it 3 and 2.

LB 41-38 79 net 73
GT 38-37 75 net 69
Wayne 42-48 90 net 76
GMcD 44-47 91 net 77

 

Additional info , Wayne missed some putts but also made 4 CLUTCH 5' + putts 

 Please add the following to my report:
                 "While GMcD did not putt particularly well, Wayne made four clutch 5+ foot putts to keep his team in the match. These guys will be a major force to be reckoned with."

I don't know if i'd go that far : )
