[The Purist]

Weather?

Are you nervous about playing with blades?

Weather?

Anything outside of a freekin hurricane will be an improvement from our match. FD has seen the worst. He's a seasoned veteran.....

[daveperkins]

Two pars, dave hit 7 iron over flag, got upand down w 6 ftr, fd hits green but leaves 8 ftr for par , drains it... AS aftr 1

[daveperkins]

Dave wedges to four ft makes bird on 2, fd misses green settles for par, dave 1 up and 1 under after 2

[lorenzoinoc]

Dave wedges to four ft makes bird on 2, fd misses green settles for par, dave 1 up and 1 under after 2

I'm only now realizing FD is Dave's alter-ego. "Fictional Dave", we should have already figured this out.

Let's all schedule a match with one of our alter-egos and then beat them like a drum.

[daveperkins]

Dave up and down for par on 3, fd misses 15 ft for bird, 2 pars, dave 1 up after 3

[lorenzoinoc]

Let's not tell him we've figured it out. It's more fun to continue to watch him make up stuff.

[daveperkins]

Both missed 4 grn, both made bogey... Dave 1 up after 4, now even par...

[daveperkins]

Dave hits green and 2 putts 4 par, fd in salad, takes bogey... Dave 2 up after 5... Even par

[Mward2002]

Where are our pictures?

[Pky6471]

This is more exciting than PGA... hahahaha

[daveperkins]

Dave 3 jacks for bogey on 6 , fd bogey from off green, dave still 2 up after 6, now 1 over

[Kiwi Player]

The excitement is unbelievable You normally only get me up at this time (3.45am) for big rugby matches like the All Blacks vs South Africa or in the UK but this is quality!

Live video streaming is the only thing missing!

[daveperkins]

Fd hits green on hard par 4 7th, roller coaster green, 3 jacks for 5.. Dave wedges back to fairway, 6 iron in, 2 putts for 5, now still 2 up after 7

[daveperkins]

Fd to 12 ft on par 3 8th, drains it, dave par, all square

[edgey]

Cant see the Ryder Cup being this good

GO FD

[Kiwi Player]

Fd to 12 ft on par 3 8th, drains it, dave par, all square

Hmmm ... Dave 2 up after 7, loses 8th, all square?

The math is doesn't make sense???

Sorry no vid but great to have you along, mate. ;-)

How did I know I wouldn't have to point this out?

Go, FD (or Dave alter-ego, whatever)! Let Southern California show the bible belt what it's all about!

[Mward2002]

Fantasy Dave's making an epic charge. Takes a heck of a move to go from 2 down to AS in 1 hole.

[Horseballs]

What's the over-under on Dave's hotdog consumption at the turn? I'll set the betting line at 3.5.

[SoonerBS]

That's Texas math, Kiwi, remember it is the same state that spawned George W. Bush . . . .

[daveperkins]

Dave wins 9 w bogey due to fd's ravine ball... And fd 3 jacks 10, dave wins w reg par.. Dave 3 up after 10

[lorenzoinoc]

These are the kinds of seemingly minor slips that prove what I'm saying about the match being fictional.

I'd have set o/u at 4.5 (bird gets half of one while Dave's holding the other 4). So I'll take over.

[daveperkins]

You guys are right, scoring problem... But i am up

[daveperkins]

Dave wins 12 w par, fd hooks ob off tee... Dave now really actually 4 up after 11

[Pky6471]

game is almost over... exciting

[SoonerBS]

Well, I can see it is going to be up to me in October . . . . .

[Mward2002]

Who do you think wins it, FD or real Dave?

[daveperkins]

Actually that was 11... Fd wins 12 w par, dave ob off tee.. Now we are on 13tee.. Problem is, pencil fell off cart at 6. ... This is only record :-(

[daveperkins]

Ok, i was 1 up after fd birdieon 8, i won 9 10 11, he won 12 and i am 3 up

[daveperkins]

Dave misses 8ft bird on 13, fd drains 4 ft bird, dave now 2 up after 13, fd charging on back..

[Mward2002]

Dave.. We've yet to see a single picture or video. FD has a cameraphone, let's see some pics of the course.

I'm assuming you're sitting at a bar making this all up till I have proof

[daveperkins]

Fd gets up and down from frickin JAIL and ties dave's par on 14... Dave still 2 up w 4 to play, dave 5 over par...

[daveperkins]

Dave pers 15 for win, dormie

[jetdriver]

That's Texas math, Kiwi, remember it is the same state that spawned George W. Bush . . . .

A sure cure for Texas Math would be a portable teleprompter.

[daveperkins]

Fd wins 16 w up and down par to my non up and down bogey... Dormie.. Dave 6 over, threatening 79,,,

[daveperkins]

Can't upload them myself from ipad, noboy volunteered to receive them in email and upload, ergo no pics :-)

[daveperkins]

I lipped out my par putt on 17 and fd graciously swiped at his to miss, dave wins 2and 1 ...we came off the course to be sure fd catches his flight.. Didn't play 18, so we'll never know about the 79.....a great day, fd is marvelous company, it was suprisingly hot and humid but overall a wonderful GR day, big dave still undefeated! Even if fd was in jeans, no hat, and my clubs!

[Pky6471]

Great round guys... I assum you guys played at Wildcat, not Cypresswood not Tour 18

[Mward2002]

What was the official yardage?

[daveperkins]

What was the official yardage?

Wildcat, highlands course.. I think 6500 from gold tees, maybe a bit more. Yes, hobby airport south, not in cypresswood neighborhood..

[daveperkins]

Okay, FD's plane is away and mine isn't here yet, so summary time....

Yes, i had an unused southwest ticket and flew in, easier than driving thru center of houston in morning rush... Faster too...

Purist, i only had room for one set of irons and FD requested the Adams, so no blades today.. Although I will bag them at hackerville for sooner rematch...

HB, if you took bets on that over-under, you might want to consider the witless protection program to save yourself from your sucker bettors.. I ate a cinnabun in dfw airport at 6:15 because that was the shortest line, and didn't eat again until 3pm... FD had chips and salsa at his table in Buffalo Wild Wing bar at hobby airport... We didn't stop at turn... Trying to make sure he ccaught his flight home...

I did wonder if he would complete the comeback, as i was going downhill fast in the humidity and heat... Lucky for me, he did too.. :-).

I am not sure i could take him with his own clubs and all... He thinks I could... But some really great shots were struck today on both sides, an enjoyable match on a challenging course with blind shots all over... Takes local knowledge toscore well there... We did well for first time...

[daveperkins]

Stupid double post....

[mongrel]

Sounds like a great match. I enoyed the running commentary almost as much as watching a match on TV. Congratulations to both of you for pulling it off.

[daveperkins]

Video to come asap... We kind of stopped doing it toward the end, to save time and to concentrate on golf as it got a bit tighter.. :-). But there is some good stuff...

[daveperkins]

I started hot, was one under after three... He was still getting a feel for the clubs... That was my first under 40 nine this year... 39 on front... He was playing catch up, made two birdies.. he made some good progress, just ran out of holes...:-). But it was a nice way to wrap up a business trip for him...

[daveperkins]

Tech note, ipad is great for this... I can google earth the holes to see hazards and shot lines... I can log straight into the gr forum... Only thing is i havent yet figure out how to post pics with this thing...

[daveperkins]

Well, I can see it is going to be up to me in October . . . . .

All of GR will be counting on you... Because I am becoming insufferable...:-)

[mr natural]

Winning 2 and 1 and being 7 over? WTF?

Can anyone on this forum actually play the game?

[Kiwi Player]

Congratulations Big Dave!

Still undefeated GR North American Champ.

Whilst I'm pleased for you I feel somewhat saddened at the demise of the 'The Greatest Ball Striker the World has Ever Seen'.

Being 0-2 in GR matchplay diminishes the Famousdavis legend somewhat.

He played one match under water giving four a side, and one match with someone else's clubs... I thought he played very well today, made more birdies than I did... I just made a lot of pars... 9 pars, one bird, six bogeys, one X after OB drive... A double by cap rules...

Thanks tho, kp... It was a fun day, well worth the trip, he is a good guy to play golf with.. :-)

Yeah my comment was very much tongue in cheek. FD is obviously a good golfer. Apart from the conditions I think he gave Noshuz 5 a side in his first match. And losing 2 & 1 is a creditable effort after turning up on the fly with borrowed clubs at the tail end of a business trip.

Good on both of you for pulling it off at the last minute. Great entertainment value too. Looking forward to the pics/video now!

[12sandwich]

Salute big Dave. Nice game, both of you. Although it seemed a little time sensitive for you both. FD might have played a little better with his old, I meen old pings and a familiar set. Obviously it was a course neither of you played.

They're coming... :-). And speaking of FD, he left three hours before me... Hope he made it back to SoCal okay... I'm already back home in dallas....

yeah, unfamiliar territory, and there were some hardcore blind shots, I mean we had to drive down all the way to the GREEN to figure out the line on one of the par 4s.. it was kind of wasteland links, good contours and bumps to spare but also six foot deep bamboo type weeds that obscured the downrange view so badly we were just flying blind... a local knowledge course, probably gotta play six rounds or more before you learn it... one of those "hit it halfway between the electric pole and the oil storage tank, with a draw, and you're golden" kind of shots... we were conservative, laying up, that kind of thing.. and it paid off with pars and birdies... I was very pleased with my 92 yard lob wedge approach to 4 feet on the par 5 number 2 hole... a four footer for bird there, kaboom..

greens to me were very speedy and hard to read... FD thought they were about like his SoCal greens... but in DFW I don't find 'em that fast, usually...

Wildcat golf's Highlands course is a very interesting and challenging layout without being brutal... it's quirky but in a professional sort of way... I'd play it again and again if I was nearby...

on GolfNow you can get on with cart for like $30... well worth it..

He tried to get a later flight so we could relax a bit, but it would have been too much of an upcharge for the company Amex.. :-) so we started early and boogied on down the fairway.. the videotaping and ipad GR typing slowed us down a bit, although the course was empty and we didn't get rushed... the front nine was well documented but we left the camcorder in the cart for several holes on the back, just to keep the speed up...

so no promises on the narrative or the sense of flow of the video, but lots of good swings an pithy comments captured.. .. Should be fun... will post when ready.. :-)

[12sandwich]

It's all about the camaraderie, and the challenge of a new course, and you had fun. Golf for me at least, has to have these elements. I'm easily bored playing the same course. I think you guys played well on a unfamiliar course. If I'm ever in the Dallas area, I would enjoy a round with you.

[noshuz]

Great match guys! Can't wait to see pics!

[daveperkins]

I'm downloading/reviewing video now, FD is doing a lot of quiet commentary while holding the camcorder that I didn't hear while I was hitting shots.. he's crackin' me up.. :-) this one will be fun.

[collegegolfer]

Wildcat, highlands course.. I think 6500 from gold tees, maybe a bit more. Yes, hobby airport south, not in cypresswood neighborhood..

6500? Wow, if I'm ever in Texas I'll PM you and play with your wife's clubs and shoot 75 or under.

[Not a hacker]

Playing from the 6500 gold tees was a bit of fagg move for such a big match.

All my skorts were at the cleaners, so i dressed butch... Btw you forgot to add NTTAWWT...

Golds were one down from tips.. If you guys want us to shoot 90next time, put us on a strange course AND 7100 yards... That will get mr. Natural bichtn for sure.... I thought 6500 was good compromise for a an unknown course..
