  I will start by saying that I caught my opponent Jimgam on his first match of the day. I had played a round of two (on mobile though) before that. With that said here is the report:
  
  1. Both bit good drives and good approaches. Made my birdie as Jim barely missed his.
     BCGreer goes 1 up.

  
  2. Both flirted with water on par 5 but made it up. Jim hit a great chip to within a foot  and I missed my 13 foot eagle putt.
     BCGreer stays 1 up.

  
  3. Hit my approach to within 2 feet. Jim missed birdie putt and conceeded my birdie.
     BCGreer goes 2 up.

  
  4. The only whole where it seemed one of us struggled. Jim had a couple unlucky putts and conceeded the par to me.
     BCGreer goes 3 up.

  
  5. Both of us played ok and parred the hole.
     BCGreer stays 3 up.

  
  6. Made a 10 foot birdie putt and Jim barely missed his.
     BCGreer goes 4 up.

  
  7. Ended up over green and in rough on 2nd shot into par 5. Jim did same but unluckily stayed on the green for a crazy long difficult putt. I pitched it to about 5 feet. Jim then tried the daunting putt and left himself about 15 feet for birdie and barely missed. I rolled in the birdie.
     BCGreer goes 5 up.

  
  8. We both parred.
     BCGreer stays 5 up.

  
  9. Jim started to get more comfortable and started throwing darts. Problem for Jim was I continued to throw them. We both made short birdie putts.
     BCGreer stays 5 up at the turn.

  
  10. Ended up on front left of green at par 5. Hit one of the best putts ive ever hit. A 78-foot multi-breaker, multi-elevation changing putt to within a foot. Jim had a difficult putt as well and couldnt get it as close as I did but made a nice birdie putt coming back.
      BCGreer stays 5 up.

  
  11. Hit my approach to within a yard. Jim hit his to about 3. Jim barely missed birdie and I made mine.
      BCGreer goes 6 up.

  
  12. My tee shot was again within a yard. Jim was further out but made a nice 16 foot birdie to continue the match.
      BCGreer stays 6 up.

  
  13. I stayed hot with iron and put approach shot to 5 feet. Jim needed something and got it putting his approach within 3 feet. Unfortunately for Jim I had a pretty easy putt and birdied to end the match.
  
  BCGreer get the win for SEL 6 & 5.

  just finished game with Jimbo (BlondinJDB) I think we were evenly match in ability and skill we both started off a little rough (long bird putts) but as game progressed i was able to get just a bit closer on approaches I was 3up at the turn, back 9 i hit a bad spot and Jimbo started a comeback I was 2up at 13 then the bad spot switched sides an early dinger on 15 a late dinger on 16
  

  was a great game great company was a pleasure to play him. Like always a few mistakes less by him or a few more by me and the out come is different lady luck was with me today

  Shedlite(SEL) wins 4up on 16 against BlondinJDB(ECGA)

  Tim and I have just finished a tight game, trading birdies on the front nine, with neither of us leading more than 1up. I made the turn 1down, but put a ball OB on the 10th and went 2down. We halved the next few until an approach within 2 ft on the 16th won Tim the hole and the match. Well played mate, an excellent player and a better bloke,

  I lost to Kearsden 4 Down

  Front 9 he was outstanding, 7 birds and a double eagle (2nd par 5 over the water) meant he had a 4 up lead.

  10th i missed an easy putt for an eagle, 11th and easy putt for a birdy to win holes, so that was that.

  We halved all the way to 16 and game over

  Great scoring mate, well done.

  Just finished my match with Briangaster.

  I really enjoyable game with a top shelf fella. I found myself 3 down after 12 holes but somehow managed to claw back to finish all square.

  Brian nailed a 20 footer for an eagle on the 2nd playoff hole to win a great fun game.
