Playoffs - TPX - Celtic
Davski defeats kryptonite66 6&5
Kryp won the first hole....I won the 2nd. We tied the next three, then Kryp had an unfortunate meltdown for holes 6-9 and granted me a 4 hole lead into the turn. At that point I heated up and started dropping birdie and eagle putts. I think Kryp must have lipped about 8 or 9 putts out there. Definitley a game of inches.
Thanks Kryp!!!!! Good luck in the rest of the playoffs!!

AM Celtic Manor
Mark vs Dude
I won 5&3.
In difficult conditions - the wind which was constantly at 32mph, I managed to win #4 #5 and #7 on the F9.
On the B9 I won #12, Dude pulled one hole back on #13 with a great birdie. I won #14 and #15 to close out the match.
Good luck in the rest of the playoffs Dude.

Pro (Semi) The Els Club
Mark1772 vs Davski
I won 3&1 in additional holes (27h).
I had the rub of the green in this game. I pitched in twice, once in regulation 18h and for a second time with the additional 9h. Dave lipped out several times too, this confirms my statement at the start, I was somewhat fortunate to win this match.
Good luck in the rest of the competition Dave.

PLAYOFFS - AM - PEBBLE play-infire - 54 ken - 57 Fire and I met up and fire quickly takes a 3 shot lead in the first 3 holes, WOWSER. Well, ken played like crap and it certainly helped fire's momentum. F9: fire won holes: 1,2,3. ken won #9 B9: fire won 13 and 15. ken won #10 and 17. OFFICIALLY: fire wins 3&2For giggles, we did a rematch. In that rd, it was.... fire - 56 ken -54 F9:ken won #1,2,3,8 B9: fire won 13,14,17 and it ended up kenw 2 up. Lots of fun playing fire as it has been quit some time. He did well with a 54 and following it up with a 56, nice!! If we get paired up in the G- cup, its a coin flip! Good luck Fire as you now get the tazmanian devil. Meanwhile, jimbob and I will battle for 9th place -ken

Playoff - Pro - Celtic Manor (quarterfinals) TMangrove beats Kryptonite 5&3 The first hole encapsulated the match as Krypt was aggressive off the tee and I wasn't. He won the first hole with a nice approach while I was rather farther away I finally drew even on the 4th when I sank a 36 foot putt. Krypt's aggressiveness cost him hole 5. My putting came to the rescue again with a 48 footer for birdie to halve hole 7 after Krypt's excellent approach left him a much closer putt. I hit my first close approach of the day on 8 to take a 2 up lead. I won the first two holes on the back 9 to move 4 up and I just played safe from then on. I won the 15th to close out the match. Great game Krypt. Those two long putts I made really swung the match in my favor so this was a closer match than the score indicates. Good luck the rest of the way! TMan

Playoff - TPX - Celtic Manor (quarterfinals)
TMangrove beats MellamoDerek 9&7
I was on my game for this one as I made some nice putts when needed and some nice approach shots. We played with 17mph winds which made things tough, especially with the tournament course conditions. I put the driver away on several tee shots and went with 3W to find the fairway. As long as I get within 150 yards or so I'm fine with the result. I always seem to be guessing on what the rough will do.
Derek had his struggles but I wasn't providing any openings. After my eagle make at the 11th (44 footer from the fringe), I was -7 in those tough conditions.
Thanks for the game Derek and good luck the rest of the way!
TMan

Sorry for the delay in my confirmation but I needed to let the blue pills wear off coupled with oxygen to revive me. Pre game visit to my local Minute Clinic had me good to go. The nurse said all I needed was 11 1/2 hours sleep, 2 1/4 of these (some blue colored things) and three cosmos 2 and 3/4 hours before game time. Hoping not to embarrass myself like the last time I played KenW in a playoff round I proceeds to the WiiGA chat shortly after 9:00 pm est. There he is like last time we played with a persona called "Extinguisher" I takes a gulp and say "Let's do this." In the lobby waiting for the "Extinguisher" to take his spot at the starting gate and to my surprise some Winston guy shows up in place of the "Extinguisher." I sigh relief and hit start game. Pebble is by far one of my worse courses because of those blasted side way lies and the stupid hidden ball magnet on those ocean side fairways that suck my ball into the water. Hole 1, always a par hole for me because I usually roll off the right side of the green into the bunker. The breaks on the green don't help me either. A 1 iron and an exaggerated shot to the left of the pin I'm golden. Meanwhile, expecting KenW, Winston or whoever to be in the hole posting a birdie. When I see him post a par well after I'm in I'm thinking maybe I'm playing an impostor to the "Extinguisher." KenW confirms it's him by saying he tried a driver off the tee. Laughing to myself and thinking of Tim the toolman on Home Improvement with his more power noises. With his speed golf and eying his long iron to the fairway well short on hole 2 I just again exaggerated to the left of the pin and what do you know... another birdie and the "Extinguisher" pars for a 2 UP lead. I forget but maybe a bad putt on hole 3 gives me a great comfort zone and somehow I was able to go almost hole for hole with him. KenW always a gentleman. Thanks for the fun game. We have to do this more. By far not a KenW type game for sure but you know what "I'll take it." He got his revenge in the rematch and rightly so but for today... Fire 1 and Extinguisher 0 to advance deeper into the frying pan as I take on the Taz. Another speed golfer I'm told and have been dying to see his game first hand. As I told him in a pm, I would have preferred not having my first game with him for "all the marbles" PLAYOFFS - AM - PEBBLE play-infire - 54 ken - 57 Fire and I met up and fire quickly takes a 3 shot lead in the first 3 holes, WOWSER. Well, ken played like crap and it certainly helped fire's momentum. F9: fire won holes: 1,2,3. ken won #9 B9: fire won 13 and 15. ken won #10 and 17. OFFICIALLY: fire wins 3&2For giggles, we did a rematch. In that rd, it was.... fire - 56 ken -54 F9:ken won #1,2,3,8 B9: fire won 13,14,17 and it ended up kenw 2 up.

Batman & myself went out to Celtic to get our TPX match done. Bats got up by 2 pretty quick and was 3 up by the turn.
It was back & forth down the back 9 but I managed to pull 1 up on 17 only to let the lead slide on the 9th.
In the extra holes it was back & forth once again nut I managed a couple of real lucky putts to pull off the win on 18.
Great match Batman! One of the tightest games I have played in a long time in TPX. Good luck the rest of the way.

BUT it was a GREAT 27 holes of Wii Video Game Golf. It is a fact that now the Dav man will play the Bossman. Should be a great match. If Dude can putt like he did, Dav is in for a real nail-biter. Congrats Bossman, Kick some A! Good luck to u and Dav, in next round!
OUT!

Celtic Manor was the d 8-)estination for a quarter final amatuer match pitting 2 of wiiga's finest (and oldest ). Firestricker vs. Tazman . There were rumors everywhere and the hype was thick as the fog for this one. But little did anyone know that the taz likes to play with Fire . Official score: Tazman a 4&3 winner over a very gracious Mr. Fire. It was just a matter of me not missing any putts and sinking 2 bombs ;D. Fire lipped a couple and hit the flag that didn't go in or the outcome could have been different. Good match Fire n gl n the other bracket. Taz

R.I.P.
[/font][/size] FireStricker I'd like to say a few words for that "cranky" old man. It's been a "tuff" few last days for him and just before he "passed" he wanted to do his duty to confirm the game against Tazman52. He was crying in his beer whilst trying to do a little game writeup that he "youst" to love to do win or lose. He lost more than he won but the fun was in trying to keep that "dang" little white ball on the short stuff. He was so incoherent all I could hear was "what if this" and "what if that." So who ever reads this please press the button above and let us remember him as "The guy who couldn't TazMan52." Super game Mr TazMan. Celtic Manor was the d 8-)estination for a quarter final amatuer match pitting 2 of wiiga's finest (and oldest ). Firestricker vs. Tazman .

TPX - Els Club - Semi-final.
Davski defeats Dude1956 5&4 in 9 hole playoff.
Another epic match in my TW wii golf career. Dude took a one hole lead on #4....then I get the luckiest of lucky bounces on #5. I hit a lofted 3W that might have hit a rake in front of the bunker and it bounces to within 5 feet to tied it up again. Dude fights back and he's up 1 at the turn. Dude wins #10 to go up 2. then I win the next two holes to tie it up. dude wins one more, then I win one more and we tie in regulation.
Then I caught fire and birdied the first 5 holes, and dude struggled a little.
Thanks again Dude for the great match......just the kind of stress I need before bedtime lol .
Good luck in the next round, buddy!!!!!

TPX Semi at The Els Club
Mark vs TMangrove
I won 2&1
This was a game which went back and forth. I won #2, TMan won #4 and #5. A/S after my birdie at #6. Tman made a great pitch in to win #9.
I won 2 of the next 3 holes and had a 1up lead. We tied #13 to #16 and I managed to hole a great birdie putt on #17 to win the match.
That was a thoroughly enjoyable battle TMan - thank you.
