Old Timers Competition 2024

Hi Guys,

just watched Sundance's Rd 2 at Spyglass Hill against Galen's and another good contest it was. Galen got away to a flier, with a string of birdies and by the seventh hole had a three-shot lead. Steve fought back on several occasions, but to no avail, as Galen kept plugging away, to keep his three-shot advantage until the end.

The good news for Steve was that this round was 12 shots better than his first round and, with his handicap, gave him a very strong finish in the Handicap and Stableford events for this round. Nice bounce-back, Steve.

Unfortunately, Juan has slipped two and a half tournaments behind and, while he probably has a valid reason, and I don't want to put pressure on any player to get their rounds done, if I don't see some new rounds from him soon, I will post scores for those tournaments and add his scores in when he submits his rounds.

Cheers

Brad

Sorry the delay. My new job as a judge requires more time.

Hi Juan,

firstly, congratulations on being appointed as a Judge. I can appreciate now why you are short on time.

Secondly, I am happy for you to take as long as you need to play your rounds. I just wanted to post some scores to keep the other guys interested in how they are going.

Thanks for the four rounds you have just submitted. I'll have a look at them today.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

watched all four of Juan's rounds at Breezy Ridge and Apache Stand last night against Sundance's rounds. I'm figuring that Juan doesn't like the first hole at Breezy Ridge, double-bogeying it in both rounds. This was basically the only difference between them in these two rounds, with it being very close for the other 34 holes, Steve winning by three shots in Rd 1 and two shots in Rd 2.

Juan came out all guns blazing in Rd 3 at Apache Stand and scored his best round of the tournament (as you will see from the results below). He was going along very nicely in Rd 4 and looked like he was going to square the score with Steve across all four rounds, right up until the final hole. Unfortunately, a triple-bogey out of nowhere ruined his great comeback, but a solid round nevertheless.

I get so much enjoyment out of watching all your recorded rounds, it's such a relaxing way to spend an evening.

Here are the results for our tournament at these two very nice courses. Congratulations to Sundance and Juan on their great results.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

here are the FedUp Cup progress scores and handicaps to the end of Apache Stand.

Sundance still holds the lead in both events but, as you can see, his handicap is improving rapidly, which will make the task of holding that lead a little bit harder. (Don't worry Steve, it will start to flatten out soon, just like all of ours. Unless, of course, you just keep getting better at the same rate as you have!)

Cheers

Hi Guys,

here's my final round at Quinta Do Lago. This is quite tough in medium winds. I played well over my handicap.

Cheers

Hi Juan,

I know you are time poor with your new role, but it has come round to being your turn to select our next courses and conditions again. If you don't think you have time to do this, please let me know and I will make other arrangements,

Cheers

Brad

I feel so undeserving especially after my horrible round at Spyglass.
