ZEN vs Zen.........the 'Lo Hei' Game! Part II

In anticipation of the big game, I've made the following changes:
1. 3W callaway diablo to 5W nike victory red
2. 5i G15 to 5H taylor made rescue club
3. odyssey marxman mallet putter to cleveland brz blade putter
4. 1/2 swing to 3/8 swing

After a talk by my captain last evening exhorting the talents of Agumon and DGMan, I've also ordered a prototype tour-only anti-mind f**k cap from titleist which also stimulates hair growth and hopefully this arrives before the game or at least before the photo shoot for my staff pass....rumour has is that the folically-challenged stewart cink and jim furyk are dying to get their hands on it but cannot due to contractual obligations with their existing sponsors.....

GF,
u funny man...

4dtoto...don't have to call me at 3 pm liao.

New World Classic this morning...

1. short par 4 282m, tight fairways full of pothole bunkers. tee up with new Ping hybrid i15. Pop...left 56M to hole...dont ask me what happen after that.

2. short par 4 - 306m, small landing area on left, pot hole bunkers all round again. tee up with i15 again. Pop..71m left to the hole. again dont ask me what happened after that.

oh Bob i also figure out the set up position.

i selling my 5 wood instead.

BTW - first time playing at the course - first impression - sadistic golf course. actually its not..intelligent, has its challenges and its rewards. definitely not for beginners or high handicappers but the low handicappers will enjoy it if they played more than 5 times. otherwise members who played often enough will have the advantage. Good thing i am playing with SS today cos he has played the course 2 or 3 times before this, otherwise terok.

some of the drop off the greens looks like a 3 storey climb up and down. if you miss the green, you wish you can mulligan.

recommended clubs - 12 clubs and 2 hand wedges (LH and RH) cos you can tire yourself by having only one.

luckily got massage booked at 6 today.

DGman

GF the cap will be rendered useless after the 2nd hole. bring iPOd with noise canceling headphones instead. Once Agumon starts on aussie $ exchange, casino and KTV experience, you are pretty much F_ked!

DGman

So r you going to blanja us 5x? I think we will sure enjoy it everytime.

DGman, wah lau eh.....220m+ distance with that 20 degree i15 hybrid? that taiwanese exercise move sure generate some serious chi.

oh crap... now i wanna buy that hybrid too... 220m is long... i wonder if i can hit that with my hybrid... hmmm... nah, dont think its possible... so DGman... if you ever wanna sell to 4dtoto, please remember that i've offered $300 and can go higher if necessary

BTW


What happened after those shots?

the course looks like crater. one of our playing partner was in at least 2 bunkers on every hole. he is very fit but i can see the heavy breathing after reaching the greens. i walk from the front part of the green to the back and i am breathless liao.

i wish i could but its still members only leh.....

DGman

i will engineer the 95X proto-by-you tour shaft onto your new razr hyrbid..considered it done!!!

after the teeshot, all shots are straight as arrow but just a tad over and then scaring at a 1 to 2 storey high chip shot. Bogey is as good as par and double is the norm.

on the index 1 hole....

SS looked at me after i chipped the ball on the green in 4. he was there in 2 but looks like a long way to the pin. He 4 putted and i 2 putted...this is the usual scenario at Classic if the ball is not in the right position.

wah... if i play classic... i think i will bring 60 balls...

Lo-Hei Game Details

Date/Day: 15 Feb 11, Tuesday

Time: 12.57 pm onwards (7 tee off times) Single Barrel from 10th tee.

Tee-Box: Blue tee for men, red tee for ladies

Format of play:

Fourballs Matchplay -
All four players play their own ball throughout; at the end of each hole, the low score between the two partners on each team is that team's score.
For example, Players A and B form one team. On the first hole, A scores a 5, B scores a 6, so the team score is 5 which will be used to fight the other team's best score. Only the best score will be used. The 2nd player's score will NOT be used. That is to say in the event there is a tie e.g. both teams score 5. It will be a draw. There will be no fight between the 2nd pair of scores.

So the two pairings will fight thru out the 18 holes. At the end of the 18 holes, the winning pair gets 2 pts, nil for the losing team and 1 pt each if it ends in a draw.
Accumulate the points for the other 5-6 pairs to determine the eventual winning team.

Special Rule

1) For this game, the local rule of free lift for flower beds at MBGC will NOT apply. That is to say, if a golfer hits the ball into the flower bed, pick up, drop ball at two club's length no nearer to the hole and incur 1 stroke penalty. NO FREE LIFT.

2) GUR (damaged ground) in play. Free lift. Drop ball at one club's length no nearer to the hole

3) No ready golf (including gimmes on greens). Furthest away players hit first. If a player hit out of turn, opponent may ask ball to be re-hit.

Wager:

1) Losing Team pays 70% of dinner and Winning Team pays 30%.
That is each losing team member would subsequently pay $41 to the winning team member playing in the same flight. ($44 was calculated as 70% of $62.80 per diner, based on 3 tables of $498 dinner working out to $1758.43, including GST and service charge.)

2) Code of silence for losing team - haha......personal fave.
Losing team will have to be silent during dinner. Ok, ok, losing party can talk but if halted by winning party, then the losing party gotta hold his peace and suffer the silence. (All part of the wager and fun!)


psst......some calculation mistakes. Correct figures reflected in red.

hey TD...so the losing team, each individual of that team just come out extra $41 ..... and pay to the opposing team. this is in addition to the amt paid.

correct?

Should be $44 and not $41. Calculation mistake in my 1st post. See pg 43.

MBGC very windy this afternoon, wind from east to west, balls went 10-15m short and 10m right...if tuesday were like today, knock downs will be your best friend.

Asahi, dun worry so much lah, I have my own bad news for our opponent, courtesy of Shorthitter and Ping USA

That is indeed news to me! Good good.

TD, payment very blur.

Total dinner bill = $1760 ( round off )
Losing team (70%) = $1232
Per player losing team = $88

Winning team(30%) = $528
per player winning team = $38.

So why loading team still need to pay winning team $44?
