Nelmo and Giacomo squared off for a hard-fought battle at Turnberry for 3rd place in flight 3. I got lucky on the first hole and a not very well hit drive still wound up on the green. My putt fell, and Nelmo's didn't quite make it. We stayed that way for two more holes when fast greens struck again at Nelmo's putter and caused him to fall back another hole. I gained one more on the 6th, and gave it back immediately on the 7th to a great eagle by Nelmo. We stayed at +2 for me until the 11th, where I picked up another hole, and it stayed that way until the end.
It was a great match, Giacomo winning 3 and 2, with Nelmo never giving up.
Thanks, Nelmo- that was a lot of fun!

S6 Flight 5 Playoff rd 3 - smoovethug v clay
smoovethug wins 1 & 0
Back and forth battle. A few missed putts here and there maybe because of the fast greens. Well played match though. Good luck the rest of the way clay.

I confirm these results...this was the first time I have played a round with giacomo and I had a great time...Ive learned in my time at the wiiga that you gotta be your best to beat anyone here and this was no exception. Congrats G!!! look forward to more. It was a great match, Giacomo winning 3 and 2, with Nelmo never giving up. Thanks, Nelmo- that was a lot of fun! G.

OK this was battle for flight 4, position 3 and 4.
It was a very even match for the first 6 holes then i took the lead with a pitch in eagle at the 7th.
I extended my lead with 2 more holes at 12 and 13.
I was still 3 up after number 14 and thought I had this one wrapped up but Claus had other ideas. I 3 putted the par 3 15th to my opponents birdie. I missed another putt on 16 and Claus rolled in his eagle putt on the par 5 17th to tie the match. We finished regulation tied and went back out for some more.
On the second playoff hole, I made to Clauses miss and the rest as they say is history.
final Putterrr 1 up over Claus54 in 20 holes
A great match. I think you should show 2 3rd place finishers as Claus deserved it after his great comeback.
Thx again
Putterrr

Flight 2 - AM - Turnberry
dadgotgame defeats kenw 2 &1Following the PRO match I had with Dude, I then take on dadgotgame in the AM for the grand finale. Dude's still in chat and we ask him to join us. Well who wouldn't because his shelby is loaded with beer. - Hole 1 - (D4) We all drive it and make the eagle. - Hole 2,3, and 4 dad and I both make birds to remain squared. - Hole 5 - Ken misses his birdie putt and knows he is in danger of going down a stroke. Dad also misses his birdie attempt and we both make par. Ken wipes his brow and breathes a sigh of relief. - Hole 6 - (par3) ken birdies to dad's par. (ken up 1) - Hole 7 - We both make birdie. - Hole 8 - As ken is aligning his putt, he see's this green streak come flying from behind him and right into the cup. Knowing dad was green, he knows the match is now squared and makes his birdie. - Hole 9 - Everyone makes birdie. dad and ken are squared with all 3 of us having a 25 on front 9. - Hole 10 - ken pars to dad's birdie. (dad up 1) - Hole 11 - We both birdie. - Hole 12 - ken birdies to dad's par. (all square) - Hole 13 and 14 we both birdie. - Hole 15 (par 3) 22mph tailwind at about 1 o'clock. Ken makes par and is happy with it. Meanwhile the green streak comes zipping by and right into the cup for a HIO !!!! Absolutely amazing to do with that wind we had. (dad up 1 with 3 holes to play) - Hole 16 - We both birdie - Hole 17 (par5) ken birdies to dad's eagle. (dad up 2 with just 1 hole remaining) - Hole 18 dad already has the game locked up but wants to show this young lad how its done and slams in an eagle from the fairway. ken was so impressed with dad's play that he decides to do a keg stand before Dude drives off. Final scores were ken - 53 dad - 49 dude - 53 What a tight match. All squared heading to hole 15. Those are the games that offer the most excitement! Congrats dad, flight #2, FIRST place champion. Thanks to Dude for the free beer and accompanying us for this thriller.

This match has been in the works for sometime but time constraints have been a major issue. As you all know our fellow WiiGA’n JohnnyBallz has a new addition to his family and his TW10 time is hard to come by. FireStricker is in chat at 5:15 eagerly waiting the match that the winner will have huge bragging rights. The winner of the match will be the 5th place winner while the loser will fall to 6th. At 5:31 I declared myself the winner because JohnnyBallz was a no show. With no one in the WiiGA chat room I sighs a little and with no one to party with I crack open my Asti Spumante and lifts the bottle to my lips and before I can get the bubbly to tickle my nose I hear all kinds of commotion coming from outside the door. I walks to the door and I see JohhnyBallz with clubs in one hand and bag in another and this sh itz eaten grin on his face. As he bends over a little with his fingers shaken back and force just like the one in his infamous video he apologizes up and down for being late. He says his wife is stuck in traffic and asks if we can postpone for 5 or 10 minutes because his wife is stuck in traffic. I of course say no problemo Mr Ballz your penalty will be I win the first three holes. I figures I’ll do 9 at Turnberry to get rid of the jitters. Only have played JohnnyBallz once, a loss, and that time in another playoff game I’ll need my best game. Having played Turnberry that day twice after a weekoff for personal reasons with scores of back to back 56’s I’m feeling pretty good because of my weakness for windy conditions. JohnnyBallz finally gets his affairs in order as just as I finish the front nine I see the “BRB” symbol beside his name disappear. JohnnyBallz apologizes again and this time says the baby is screaming. With the three forfeited holes and his newborn screaming I’m sipping from the cheap wine bottle beside the tv. JohnnyBallz sets up and he is so rattled he sets up the wrong course and I am ROFL saying this guy is toast. VICTORY IS MINE… I suggests I set up the course and he agrees and off we go. Hole 1 For some reason I have picked up a little KDubs speed play because my confidence lately has really been a plus. I “speed” down the course and feel pretty good with my birdie but as I’m walking away I see this flash go by me and when I turn around JohnnyBallz ball is sitting in the hole for an eagle. With this hole out I lose the hole. Ah so what he forfeited that hole RIGHT. So for what would have been if not for the forfeit of the first three holes. JohnnyBallz 1 up Hole 2 and 3 The two of us birdie both holes so JohnnyBallz would have been 1 up if he hadn’t been late RIGHT. Hole 4 We both miss the green and while JohnnyBallz is calculating his 2nd shot I gets mine on first. With a medium putt with not a bad break I like up and I’m so confident with it I presses the A button to hear the cup noise and to my surprise no noise I missed. I was so flustered I miss AGAIN while my opponent gets his par. JohnnyBallz is now 2 up. Hole 5 JohnnyBallz must be saying “This guy can’t putt” or I’m thinking does he have a voodoo doll? (another story another time) I calm down and hole my birdie while JohnnyBallz smokes another hole out eagle by my right temple. JohnnyBallz is now 3 up. Hole 6 I gather my composure, after a few choice words under my breath, and line up for an ACE. Feeling pretty confident about aces in the last three weeks coupled with back to back aces on 11 on this same course earlier in the day I swing away, It’s up, up, up but is just left of the hole and I’ll have to settle for birdie. JohhnyBallz has a little trouble and gives me hope as he only manages to par the hole. I cut JohnnnyBallz lead to 2 up. Hole 7 I’m feeling pretty good with my game but that will end on this hole two fold. One I floundered on all parts of the game on this hole and will have to settle for a par while JohnnyBallz completely demoralizes me with another hole out eagle. JohnnyBallz lead is back to 3 up and I have I think conceded a little with playing this superior player. How bad will I get beat? Hole 8 We both birdie and JohnnyBallz holds on to a huge 3 up lead. Hole 9 Another brief glimmer of hope flickers as I get a 61% Approach shot for an AHO eagle while JohnnyBallz birdies the hole. I cut the lead to JohnnyBallz 2 up. Hole 10 JohnnyBallz breaks this old mans heart with another hole out eagle totally negates another birdie. JohnnyBallz lead back to 3 up. Hole 11 and 12 Missing my third ace of the day on 11 and running out of holes birdies won’t do it as we both put up circles. JohnnyBallz still 3 up. Hole 13 I finally cave as JohnnyBallz constant deadly accuracy continues. My par to his birdie was the one that broke my spirit.. JohnnyBallz leads balloons to 4 up with 5 to go. Hole 14 The agony continues as JohnnyBallz makes a rare mistake but letting me win the hole when he pars to my birdie. JohnnyBallz 3 up with 4 to go. Hole 15 Game over (I rescind the penalty because he deserved the win ) as JohnnyBallz calms down and birdies the hole while my ACE attempt failed badly as I bogey the hole. JohnnyBallz wins 4 and 3. Hole 16 Birdies for both Hole 17 Another eagle for JohnnyBallz and a measly birdie for me. Hole 18 A birdie for JohnnyBallz and I get some dignity back with an eagle. Congrats to JohnnyBallz for a spectacular round of 50 you deserved the win my friend. I feel ok with my 56 (my BAGS handicap is -4) and have resigned I must have played my best game because of the three games I played at Turnbery Sunday they were all the same. 56Oh PS Only regret: I would have liked to see more putts from JohnnyBallz. Thank you all who have made season 6 a success I have had a blast. FireStricker

We finally got our Finals match set-up... Da Weez and I headed out to a windy Turnberry. We had a small window to fit the match into before Weez had to go to a wedding or something... Duck was gracious enough to be our host, and set up one of his personal favorite courses for us...
The first 14 holes we went stroke for stroke... Nothing changed hands. I then make the first mistake of the match, and lip out a putt on the 15th... Weez up 1.
I go for the pin on the 16th and leave myself a reasonable putt, but again lip it out, while Weez makes another birdie... Weez up 2.
On the 17th, with the match at dormie for Weez... I couldn't make anything happen, and the match goes down 2 and 1 for Da Weez.
Congrats Weezy, AM Champion...
Great match, no one flinched until the 15th... And no AHO's for either of us, just straight up golf... Ducks on the other hand got 3 AHO's, and the final scores were as follows:
Ducks 51 Weezy 49 Skinnie 51
Peace,
Skinnie:P

Confirmed!
Thanks Skinnie for squeezing that in, I feared I might have to forfeit there for a little while.
Truly a great battle, rarely have I felt my hands get sweaty during a match but as we continued on the back 9 shot-for-shot, those 15 ft putts felt like 45 ft. Definitely glad the AHOs didnt decide things. Great game dude, and congrats on 2nd in both Pro/Am, that's quite a feat.
Cheers, Blair
