Fellow WiiGa'ns it's that time of the season again. I'm matched up with Tanja again for the 2nd consecutive opening playoff round. Last time we played it was with TW10 and IMO I thought we were close in skills. Every time we played during the season it was win one lose one between us. I edged her out in those playoffs 1 UP. She is a great competitor and a true lady. Now on to the match which happens to be my real life home course albeit I have never played it. Hole 1 Par 4, 365 yards. In TW10 and TW11 I have never eagled this hole under normal conditions. My weak driver only goes 325 with focus so I pray for strong tail winds. Even the 12 MPH right to left tail wind wasn't enough to get me into decent putting range for me. So no surprise when Tanja takes the first hole with her eagle. Tanja 1 UP Hole 2 Par 5, 554 yards. We both drive into the center of the faiway which leaves me with my dreaded long iron approaches. Playing the dailys I have somewhat figured out the hard and very fast greens on my easy approaches but this is normal conditions with beach in front of the green. Tanja has honors and hits left and long on the fringe while I spin the kazoo out of the 5I and leave my self with a medium length straight putt. Thinking Tanja has same straight putt but longer was surprised she missed long. All Even Hole 3 Par 3, 184 yards. We both miss greens and settle for pars. All Even Hole 4 Par 4, 298 yards. I struggle here and try to draw it onto the green with my 3 wood. Having played with many players better than me many times I can't figure out how they hit this green in the air with long irons and stick it. Tanja came close to doing it but just catches the fringe right. I sets up for a pitch shot and spin the gazoo out of it and it falls for an eagle. I'm figuring I have tied this hole but when Tanja misses her shot I have to ask her what she used because I was figuring her for a chip from there. She said it was a putt and I knew she wasn't herself today. Fire 1UP Hole 5 Par 4, 465 yards. I always lay up in the first fairway even with strong tail winds because I see no advantage making the stone wall. With 10 MPH head winds I wasn't surprised Tanja did the same. We both birdie the hole to stay Fire 1 UP. Hole 6 Par 4, 465 yards. Tanja's approach misses green while I stick mine. She chips right beside me and we both putt to end the hole. Fire 1 UP Hole 7 Par 5, 600 yards. My 2nd shot comes within 5 feet of the pin while Tanja ends up on the fringe. She holes it for the eagle and I thank the Lord I have a 5 footer now. Fire 1 UP Hole 8 Par 3, 213 yards. My 1 iron misses terribly long and deep while I am amazed but pleased when she is again on the fringe. I pitches up within putting distance while her chip/putt sails by the hole to other side of the fringe. Now I know she isn't herself and ask her if she was off because of the speed of play and she said a little because she plays fast usually. I told her to concentrate and play her game. She probably said to herself shut up old man¡¨ and play. I make my putt and we're still at Fire 1 UP Hole 9 Par 4, 472 yards. I lay up in front of the dog left with a 1 iron while she goes for more distance on her drive. My 2nd shot comes within 12 feet of the pin while again she is on the fringe. She misses her putt while I make mine. Fire 2 UP Hole 10 Par 4, 425 yards. We both drive the fairway and we are within 5 feet of each other. I make my approach within 17 feet of the pin while again she is on the fringe right but closer to the pin. I'm surprised when I have to shoot first so I set up my putt to a horrible right to left break. I scramble to get the putt off and I see it go in the hole after circling the hole at least twice. I wasn't surprised when her putt missed but she was down because she said she makes those shots in TW10 all the time. Fire 3 UP Hole 11 Par 3, 231 yards. I'm short with my 5 iron while she's on the green. I pitch up and she makes her birdie. Fire 2 UP Hole 12 Par 4, 461 yards. My approach misses while she sticks hers. I chip and putt and she birdies. Tanja is finding her groove. I'm starting to get sweaty hands. Fire 1 UP Hole 13 Par 4, 451 yards. We both miss out approaches, chip on and putt. Fire 1 UP Hole 14 Par 4, 495 yards. My 9 iron approach is 19 feet from pin while she is within 7 feet. I make a pressure putt and I feel her breathing down my neck. Fire 1 UP Hole 15 Par 4, 426 yards. We both drive to the thin faiway to the right of the bunker. When we get to our balls we are almost on top of each other. I steps on her ball while I play wolf in the hen house. I try to rattle Tanja by saying I could smell her perfume I was so close. She blushes and we go on our way. She shoots first and is within 7-10 feet of the pin. I make my approach but I am way left for some reason so I spin the tar out of the ball hard right and come to rest 5 feet from pin. We make out putts and walk to the next hole which was truly the back break hole of the round. Fire 1 UP Hole 16 Par 3, 161 yards. I tells Tanja how much I hate this hole while I watch her put her approach nicely beside the pin. It's a doable left to right 9 MPH wind so I'm confident I can stick it somewhere on the green. I come up inches left of where I wanted to drop and with full right spin I catapult off a rock and go off the green far deep and right and when I get to my ball I'm on the cart path. Knowing Tanja has a nice putt for birdie I brace myself for going into hole 16 tied up. I set up my pitch shot to get it close and leave spin alone because I want to putt out for par after. The ball ends up in the hole and Tanja and myself are in disbelief. Fire 1 UP Par 17 Par 4, 412 yards. Feeling for Tanja as I made a totally unbelievable shot on the last hole I am still not confident I can hold her off. Her back 9 is like night and day from her front. Can I match her on the last two holes for the win? We tee off into the first fairway then I put my approach within 10 feet of the pin but she must have had a thumper as she was inside of me. We putt for out birdies and continue to the last tee. Fire 1 UP Par 18 Par 5, 528 yards. This hole gives me fits if the wind is in my face as I always end up in one of the sand traps otherwise. Tanja is safely in the faiway but this time the wind Gods are with me with a 6 MPH right to left and I stick my shot in the faiway quite a ways behind Tanja. Knowing Tanja has a good chance at an eagle I'm torn between a 3 or a 5 iron and thank God I picked the 5 as I end up on the green but 25 feet away from the pin. Tanja made the green also but was further away so when she made her eagle putt I was praying for a good break. Well the break was dead straight with 97 percent power so I swings 100 and the game is over. Fire wins 1 UP I told Tanja during the match I was going to do a little write up as that is one of the fun part of the playoffs for me. Tanja, with the possible chance of a language barrier I want you to know that I respect your game and if not for my two pitch in hole outs the better player would have won. I'm hoping your not thinking I was making fun of you or your round. These write-up are for laughter and insight into our game. I have played you both TW10 and TW11 and your TW11 game is better. You are the better player here not to me mention one of my favorite WiiGa opponents as I have had nice respectable pm's from both you and MrsKrabs. This is what golf leagues are about meeting nice people and the best players in the TW golfing world . FireStricker advances edging Tanja 1 UP

OFFICIAL AM ROUND 1 oregonducks defeats the MIGHTY M PLUS of kenw in a classic battle of NO FOCUS PERSONAS. Final 2-1. Ken shattered his previous best with M PLUS and played a very tight game. Thanks KDUB quite a performance from a 14 SEED. CONFIRMEDYuppers a battle we had for sure. I expected ducks to take me down easily. He had a 1up lead after the 2nd hole. hole 3 - I square it back up. hole 4 - duck gets the 1up again hole 5,6, and 7 we match shot for shot. hole 8 - duck gets a comfortable 2 up lead. hole 9- ken gets it down to a 1up lead for the duck. (score 28-27 the duck) hole 10 - we both birdie hole 11 (p3) - duck makes the bird to ken's par hole 12,13,14,15,16 - we match shot for shot with duck maintaining the 2 shot lead. hole 17 - ken adds some spin with his 2nd shot and almost holes it out, only to be inches away. we both make birdie. (Duck up 2) hole 18 - Duck misses the fairway off the tee, while ken hits it, thanks to spin. Ducks 2nd shot comes up short while ken spins the crap out of it to stick the green on the far side. Duck gets close to the pin on his 3rd shot and then taps in the birdie. Meanwhile ken is faced with a long eagle putt. The preview shows it just missing, so he makes an adjustment, thinking it will drop,and smack's it. He pushes it to the right and settles for birdie. duck wins 2up (53-55) Great battle duck and I am glad you were there for my 55, my best AM rd yet with m+! - ken the battle can be seen here: www.ustream.tv/channel/kenw

Playoff Round 1 AM style. Official. RiggySmiths beats Motnola 3 & 2 We had to overcome several DCs, but over two days got it done. Riggs had a great game and I hanged on as long as I could. Here's a brief play-by-play: 1. Riggs lands his driver shot on the green. I birdie, but that won't beat his eagle. Riggs 1UP 2. Trying too hard, I land in a bunker. Riggs, cool cucumber, birdies. Riggs 2UP and it's looking like it'll be a long (or not too long) round for me 3. We both birdie. Riggs 2UP 4. I have a long eagle putt that can cut Riggs lead, but the ball hits the pin and bounces off the hole. We both birdie. Riggs 2UP 5. Riggs finally gives me an opening when his driver misses the fairway. I birdie and cut it down to Riggs 1UP. 6, 7. We both birdie #6. On #7, Riggs misses the green. I'm on the green but facing a very long putt for eagle. I miss it, of course so it stays Riggs 1UP. 8, 9. We both make very long putts to birdie #8. On #9, I miss the green but chip it in to birdie. Riggs 1UP. 10. To start the back 9, I miss a long birdie putt while Riggs makes his. He's 2UP and the signs are not good. 11. I land in a bunker but manage to save par. Riggs faces a very long par putt -- and nails it. He's still 2UP. 12. I miss the green and Riggs lands beautifully on it. Dark clouds form over the sky as the match is about to be put almost out of reach. But the golf Gods, apparently wishing to keep the contest somewhat close, grant me a chip in birdie. ( Thank you, golf gods ) Riggs 2UP. 13, 14, 15. Birdies all around, flowing easily like drinks at happy hour. Riggs still 2UP and it's almost time for me to make a move or face the music. 16. Of course, the wheels come off the wagon. Riggs makes a fantastic shot to stay dry and lands a few feet from the hole. I land on the green but the ball decides to go swimming pass the rocks. Riggs birdies, goes 3UP -- and the fat lady sings. Great round Riggs. GL for the rest of the playoffs. Motnola

OFFICIAL AM RD 2 at Celtic Manor oregonducks d mkrabs 3-1 A very good game thank you MK for getting up early in Germany 6am for your 9pm PDT tee time! This was a hard fought win for ducks who jumped out to a 3 hole lead after 5 highlighted by a 152 yd EAGLE on par 4 number 5. MK came RIGHT back and closed to 2up ....but duck got one more to take a 3up lead at the turn. THEN MK WENT BONKERS!!!!!......by 15 duck only had a 1 up lead and was shakin in his boots at 16. Duck luckily for him took both 16 and 17 to seal a very TOUGH win over a groggy MK!! Thanks again MK and i feel very fortunate to have won that game.

I confirm the scores of another tough match against Ducks. A terrible and nervous beginning by side took Ducks 3 up after hole 5. At hole 7 I got 1 stroke back but at hole 8 I lost 1 again. From hole 13 i bagan to play on fire so I won hole 13 and 15 to get closer to Ducks. Suddenly i was only 1 stroke behind and said to myself "so, now it's time to pull out the feathers of the duck" but his ball hits me and Ducks cracked me up I digged into the bunker and didn't come back in game. So, i lost again a match in my playoffs agsainst an awesome playing opponent. Well, it was always a fun to play with you Ducks, all the best for your further matches all opponets will be warned. greetings MK

#12 seed Motnola faces off with #14 seed kenw ;D We head to Celtic Manor in AM style kenw wins 3up vs Motnola.Mot and I were exchanging helpful tips to each other throughout the match as good sportsmanship. kenw was trying to get into Mot's head with some smack talk as well, all in good fun. Man what a battle we had! hole #1 - we both birdie ( All square) hole#2 - Mot makes a good drive while ken shanks his 19 degrees closed and OB. Mot makes the birdie to go 1 up. hole # 3 - we both sling darts and make birds ( mot up 1) hole#4 - ken hits the green in 2 and warns Mot that the green slopes backwards. Mot goes a little long but hits the green. Ken makes the birdie to Mot's par. ( All Square) hole #5 - ken takes the honors off the tee. ken lets Mot know he can take it over the trees on the right and land in the f/w. It turns out to be the rough, but ok. We both make birdie. (all square) hole#6 - Ken drives his tee shot into the left rough. Mot misses left as well. We both make birds. ( all square) hole #7 - Ken overshoots the green while Mot makes it. Mot nails a tough putt for the birdie. (Mot UP 1) hole # 8 & 9 - We both match shot for shot as Motnola just misses the putt on hole #9. ( Mot up 1 at the turn) hole #10 - Par 3- ken nails a 29 footer to apply the pressure. Motnola makes a short putt for birdie to keep it ( mot 1 up) hole #11 - We both eagle the tough par 5. ( mot up 1) hole # 12 - Mot's drive comes dangerously close to the water but he holds it. He warns ken of the winds and kens yields caution. Thanks Motnola! Ken birdies to Mot's par. ( All Square again). hole #13 - We both birdie. ( All square) hole #14 - Mot drives into the rough but makes a great recovery and gets the bird. Ken nails the 26 footer for bird as well. (all square) hole #15 - a D4. Ken doesn't like the wind direction and so he uses caution and lays up left. Meanwhile in chat, Zach says this a crucial hole that can decide the match. Ken lands safely in the f/w while Mot tries to take it over the trees, but it doesn't work out. He then tried to figure out his shot and took a "JB" special clock violation. Ken's 2nd shot was a thumper, but it was too late as he already applied spin and was lucky enough to stay on the green. Mot's 4th shot was from the rough with a tough side hill lie and he played it well. Ken sunk the 17 footer for birdie to Mot's par. (ken up 1) hole #16 - ken hits it left and in the rough. Motnola goes the opposite direction for the dreaded OB. His 3rd shot was a straight as an arrow. Ken pitches and spins his way onto the green. Mot's 4th shot hits the green and he is left with with a tough putt, that he just barely misses. Ken makes the birdie. ( ken 2 up, DORMIE) Hole #17 - ken nails a 27 open shot by pure luck and hits the green. Mot's drive comes up just yards short. He makes a nice pitch, but its a little to late. ( kenw 3 and 1) Motnola, I had a great time in chat. From talking smack to giving tips per hole. It was a battle we had and I had a ton of fun playing!!!!! Great playoff round Motnola and we sure did give the guys a show! If you have 67:44 minutes to spare, this is a great battle to see! www.ustream.tv/channel/kenw- ken

Round two slots me in with the #1 seed of the amateurs division ZachF31. I’ve never played the #29 ranked player on the leader board but have heard a lot of him. We head off to Celtic Manor to do battle. Hole 1 Par 4, 465 yards. Expecting huge winds because of the sets was pleasantly surprised when 8 mph cross winds showed up. I catch one of the left bunkers on the dogleg while Zach boomed one center fairway which cost me the hole. Zach birdies while I par. Zach 1 UP Hole 2 Par 5, 610 yards. Zach has honors center of the fairway. I shake off the first hole error and land center fairway behind Zach. We both hit our green approaches and when I couldn’t see Zach’s ball in the screen I was hoping for a miss on his long eagle putt. NAUGHT. I make my 15 foot putt to halve the hole. Zach 1 UP Hole 3 Par 3, 189 yards. Par 3 long irons usually haunt me but today I make a successful draw shot to this green. Hole turned out to be routine as we both birdie. Highlight for me inside of Zach’s ball. Zach 1 UP Hole 4 Par 4, 461 yards. Horrible and embarrassing hole for me. Knowing if I make one mistake the hole is most likely lost. Well guess what I catch the rough on my drive and then hit trap on left side of green and hole goes to Zach. 2 Up Hole 5 Par 4, 457 yards. I look for Zach’s marker and can’t find it on the fairway. When I make my 2nd shot I see him way to the right in front of the green and screen says Zach with one shot. Some how we halved the hole with birdies and wished I paid attention to Zach’s shots. Zach 2 UP I asked Zach how far he drives off the tee and asked him how he almost drove the green. He said he drives 352 with focus and he tried for the cart path and missed. I’m guessing my 325 drives wont’ make it but I will look into that cart path the next time I play this hole. Hole 6 Par 4, 452. Routine hole as we both birdie. Zach 2 UP Hole 7 Par 3, 213 yards. I totally blow my long iron approach and miss green badly to the right. Zach birdies. Zach 3 UP Hole 8 Par 4, 439 yards. With cross winds and confidence in my high irons I elect to lay up with a 3 wood below the hour glass fairway. My nine iron sticks the green but my lack of concentration leaves me with a lip out putt and I look for a concede button. No Mas, No Mas. Zach birdies. Zach 4 UP Hole 9 Par 5, 666 yards. WTH!! Have to scurry to install backup battery into my remote. SHOT CLOCK!! Zach asks what happened and tells me he’ll give me one back and I said no “Today isn’t my day” He says “Too Late” Zach 4 UP Hole 10 Par 3, 210 yards. Another long iron which misses green badly deep and to the right but I make a tremendous but frantic birdie pitch in to save the hole. Zack was impressed he asked if I pitched that in. Zack 4 UP Hole 11 Par 5, 562 yards. Knowing I need an eagle if I wanted to try to get back in this match this is the hole I must play perfectly. But the great shot on the last hole was shot lived as I find another bunker on the 3 wood approach and when the dust settles I wonder why I manage to halve the hole. I ask Zach if he’s letting up and he says he must have missed the lie of the ball. Zach 4 UP Hole 12 Par 4, 458 yards. I birdie and Zach pars and IMO the second consecutive hole I feel Zach’s not himself and ask him to “finish me off” He assures me he’s playing his game. Zach 3 UP Hole 13 Par 3, 189 yards. A mid iron that I stick and as I’m putting I see his tracer zoom by me and Zack misses another green on the back nine. hmmmm Zach 2 UP Hole 14 Par 4, 413 yards. Mid iron approach that I overcook my spin and I’m just on the fringe, hole high right. I lip my putt while Zach birdies. Zach 3 Up Hole 15 Par 4, 377 yards. Horrible hole. In my heart I know this match has been over for awhile so I go for the green and the so call gusto with my 3 wood over the trees on the right. When I clip the tree I have a “Tin Cup” moment. I try 2 more times with more loft with that wood until I use my 1 iron to get over them safely but well short. Zach is in shock and tells me to use my draw handles. Zach 4 UP Zach played a perfect game on the front 9 and maybe lost a little concentration on the back because today I couldn’t give him the game he deserved as a #1 seed. After the game I asked Zach for a rematch sometime because I know I can play better than I did. He’ll beat me I’m sure but I’d like to think I could make his palms sweat a little. Like my Mammie always says. “Cream always comes to the top.” Good luck Zach and bring the title to your signature. IMO you are the cream of the crop this season. FireStricker P.S. A little more kudos to Zach. Today while I'm looking at his profile to see if he posted our match I discover he's 20 years old. I'd like to extend my hand out to this "youngster" as I find his gestures during our match very respectful. Zach thank your parents for raising a very "grounded" young man. That is a compliment if you've never heard it before.

I'd like to extend my hand out to this "youngster" as I find his gestures during our match very respectful. Zach thank your parents for raising a very "grounded" young man. That is a compliment if you've never heard it before. I confirm. Fire had an insane lie in the bunker on #1 (just below the lip, with a huge uphill lie) and came up way short...I don't think I could've birdied it either. #5 is the hole that doglegs right with the trees past the FW and the water to the right. Usually I fully loft my driver and have a 100-120 yd approach, but there was a slight tailwind (I think about 3 mph) when I aimed for the little strip of FW right of the water just past the cartpath. My drive landed about two yards short of the cartpath in the rough and rolled into the FW for a pitch to the green. On #11, I believe I couldn't even make the green in 2 because of a headwind. Either that, or I landed in the rough on my drive. #12 is the hole that doglegs left in front of the water, and you usually need to hit a 3W to stay short of the water. I tried hitting my driver left of the water to have a 70-80 yd punch shot to the green, but my drive went too far right and rolled past the cartpath into the rough right before the water. I had a downhill lie apparently, as my L Wedge went 110 yards (normally goes 100 w/ full power) even with the 85% lie. On #13, there was a 13 mph wind or so going to the top right. I used my 167 yd PW with max deloft (to add distance, since I didnt want to end up short in the water), and my ball landed about 13 yds past the hole and I was unable to putt from there. And on #15, I fully lofted my 1iron (and made it over the trees), but I came up short and birdied. It was a hard-earned win after losing two consecutive holes on the back nine. I'll certainly grant Fire a rematch whenever he wants.

i confirm dude's score's it was a fun match we tied the whole back 9 Despite a little confusion on my part tonight as to who was posting and who was confirming, Clay took this one hands down with a solid performance. The final was 4 & 3 for Clay. Great match clay and good luck the rest of the way. Dude

Riggy wins 1 up over SkinniePost Incredible match I got up yesterday at 7 AM so that we could get our match in... It was back and forth at the start... I got up two and held that till the D4 (15th)... I drove the green for an easy eagle, and watched Riggy sink an amazing putt. He calls out game over, but I say no way... Still 3 holes to go and you are only down two holes. Riggy must have taken it to heart... because he proceeded to take the next three holes for the win He was dead on for the last three and made one of the greatest comebacks ever... Whoever gets him next round better be ready... Check out the recording here... [a href=" www.ustream.tv/recorded/9764359"] www.ustream.tv/recorded/9764359[/a] Peace, SkinniePost

The results are in.... After all the hype, tanja and I met up for our AM playoff round. ken sets up the match with no bars . I reset with same results, but we get in because tanja knows the bouncer Here is the play by play... Hole 1: a D4 is possible if you hit your tee correctly, but it would leave you with a bit of a tough putt. Ken lines up, takes his swing and BAM pulls it 5 degrees right with a 79% drive. tanja goes for the pin and comes up a tad short. Ken takes his second shot, only to come up short. It's all the hype for sure. tanja makes birdie to kens par ( Tanja up 1) Hole 2,3,4,5: We both match shot for shot. (Tanja up 1) Hole 6: PAR 3 - We both hit the green. Ken had a short putt and flexes his huge biceps for the croud. Tanja has a 20ish footer. ken makes it, while tanja just misses it and makes par. (all square) Hole 7: We both eagle Hole 8: It's close and ken feels the pressure as he tries too hard and sails it 15 degrees closed and the " not now" OB. Tanja finds the fairway. On kens 3rd shot he gets the thumper and see's tanja awaiting him with a close approach of here own! (Tanja up1) Hole 9: We each make birdie.(Tanja up 1) Hole 10,11: we match birdies. Hole 12: We both find the fairway. ken's 2nd shot makes him think, but he thinks correctly, for once tanja overshoots the green and comes really close to holing out her pitch shot. (ALL square) Hole 13: we both make birds. Hole 14: We both hit the fairway. Our second shots, we both misjudge and add back spin. bad idea as the green was sloping towards us, thus leaving us longer putts then we should have. ken's preview shows it lined up, but he pulls it left and misses. Tanja stays solid and makes her birdie. (Tanja up 1) Hole 15: We both birdie this par 3 and its killer pin location. Very nice putt Tanja as it looked tough!!!! Hole 16: Par 4 - We both hit the green in 2. ken has his preview lined up, but pulls it left by 1 degree and misses, again. Tanja just misses as well and ken knows he just blew a perfect opportunity. ( Tanja up 1 ) Hole 17: par 5 The pressure is mounting but ken makes the eagle. Tanja makes a great putt to seal the deal. ( Tanja 1 up) Hole 18: ken wants to finish the round in style and match tanja on the 18th, despite already being beaten. He hits his tee a little left and lands smack dab in the middle of a bush Ken gets a nice spot with a 76-77% lie. Undecisive, he fires away and comes up short. tanja makes her birdie to kens par. FINAL: tanja wins 1 uptanja - 53 ken - 56 I'm not sure what was more fun, the game of the chatter leading up to it. GREAT rd tanja and I wish you nothing but the best when you face LeeTargo for 9th place!!!! - ken here's the video: www.ustream.tv/recorded/9802829

Ken wrote a wonderful story about it ... but want to write a few things about this great game. Because of all the hype before this game ... startet by the krab and ken ( ) i was very nervous ... it was very early in the morning, meanwhile the krab was woke up to watch the game from the couch and it took a long time before we can start (it felt like hours for me). After the first 4 holes i felt a little bit better ... i thought to have a little chance ... not to win but not losing the game after the first holes and fall behind too far. At the sixth hole i missed a safty putt and lost my small projection. At the twelth hole I have underestimated the wind and the ball has flown behind the green All together it was a very well balanced game ... i had a lot of fun and was very happy after it was done Many thanks for this game ken. I hope that we meet once more in a playoff ;D Tanja

Official score Tanja vs. Lee: Tanja 5 and 4
Flawless and accurate your game. I never had a chance ( i hideed the wiimote all day from my son because i thought that one is my lucky mote, but it wasn´t). Too many tee shots in the rough, not a single approach in gimme range. Next season i´ll be back. Great fun Tanja, thx. LT

Hole 16: Par 4 - We both hit the green in 2. ken has his preview lined up, but pulls it left by 1 degree and misses, again. Tanja just misses as well and ken knows he just blew a perfect opportunity. ( Tanja up 1 ) Hole 17: par 5 The pressure is mounting but ken makes the eagle. Tanja makes a great putt to seal the deal. ( Tanja 1 up) Hole 18: ken wants to finish the round in style and match tanja on the 18th, despite already being beaten. He hits his tee a little left and lands smack dab in the middle of a bush Ken gets a nice spot with a 76-77% lie. Undecisive, he fires away and comes up short. tanja makes her birdie to kens par. FINAL: tanja wins 1 uptanja - 53 ken - 56 I'm not sure what was more fun, the game of the chatter leading up to it. GREAT rd tanja and I wish you nothing but the best when you face LeeTargo for 9th place!!!! - ken here's the video: www.ustream.tv/recorded/9802829I don´t want to repeat all holes. Ken wrote a wonderful story about it ... but want to write a few things about this great game. Because of all the hype before this game ... startet by the krab and ken ( ) i was very nervous ... it was very early in the morning, meanwhile the krab was woke up to watch the game from the couch and it took a long time before we can start (it felt like hours for me). After the first 4 holes i felt a little bit better ... i thought to have a little chance ... not to win but not losing the game after the first holes and fall behind too far. At the sixth hole i missed a safty putt and lost my small projection. At the twelth hole I have underestimated the wind and the ball has flown behind the green All together it was a very well balanced game ... i had a lot of fun and was very happy after it was done Many thanks for this game ken. I hope that we meet once more in a playoff ;D Tanja Nice job Tanja, I want you on my team anytime girl. I knew Ken was in for a great match as you are deadly with approaches. Fire
