Match Play, Round 1

Whoa, birthdays for Malcolm and Greg. Happy Birthday guys!





God, please make them all play nicely.



Match play, which shouldn't really be a different game, but somehow it is. 

Bernie tries to negotiate a gimme off the first tee



But a lot of fun was had, at least by most. 


Stan makes sure of a couple of birdies




Remember, if you're going to be away for the quarter finals, etc, remember to tell Glen so he doesn't draw you. 
Yeah, practice makes perfect, sure...
Gonna have to be good to beat me today





Competitive? Us?




There was some discussion as to whether we're allowed to clean the ball if we pick it up to take advantage of a preferred lie on the fairway.

I'll psych him out with my super smile


That's the first and last stroke I'm giving her today


Still no ruling on this, but the president will consider the issue in time for next week's game. Becomes of some significance on wet days like today. 


And that's before they even stepped on the first tee


A reminder - when playing match play, you MUST play in order of distance from the pin until you get on to the green. Once on the green, furthest plays first, then furtherest's partner - these two playing the hole out with furthest away playing first each time. Then the other pair play out similarly.
