Playing on X1 meant I got to play the ghost of both opponents. Here's the replay of the Day 1 matchup that featured myself, mbuenger , & Celtic Wolf (the 4th, catcherman22 , was already enjoying some cocktails at the Birdie Bar on the south side of clubhouse š») š¦šŗš¦ |

Tales from the Cyder Cup - Volume Two, Chapter Three, Better Ball: Michael Conner/Jason Randle (Monarchs) vs Ken Lokosky/Simon Morris (Strikers)
Coming soon on NBC: Mannix - Mike Connors plays L.A. gumshoe Joe Mannix, who has struck out on his own to form his own agency, assisted by his trusty sidekick, the loyal Peggy Fair, played by Jay Randall. Join us in watching this special preview titled "Green Eggs and Murder"
We open on Mannix, at his desk, staring pensively at the mounting mound of unpaid bills mounting on his desk, the very desk where he only recently mounted his (edited for broadcast television) Fair. From the intercom, Peggy's voice:
"Mike, you have a visitor. Shall I send her in?"
"Yes, Peggy, thanks" Mike quickly piles the piles into an empty drawer of his desk, and props his feet up to appear relaxed and confident, barely. The door, replete with frosted glass and the words "Joe Mannix - Hardnosed Gumshoe" embossed on such, odd because from the lobby, the words are backward and obscured, opens and Ken Loko-sky strolls in, not at all dressed in women's clothing that the viewing audience has come to expect.
Expecting to lay eyes on a woman, and seeing a man dressed in all black, much like Johnny Cash on laundry day, Mannix steals a line from the now famous Monty Python Parrot Sketch.
"Hello, Miss?"
Kenny, nonplussed. "What do you mean 'miss'?"
Silent, Mannix makes a mental note - get Peggy new glasses. The one's she stole from the stereotypical Asian secretary she replaced are basically Coke bottles, stereotypically. "Never mind that. Come in and have a seat. Can I get you a beer?"
Kenny steals a line from his favorite Michael Keaton movie. "I'm Batman."
Mannix, flustered, on the inside anyway, corrects him. "No. Let's try again...can I get you a beer?"
Kenny realizes his mistake, and draws the correct line from his correct Michael Keaton movie. "We come for your daughter, Chuck"
Mannix flies off the handle. "NO, YOU PLEBE! IT'S 'MR. MOM'! I OFFER YOU A BEER, YOU SAY 'IT'S 7 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING'. WE PAUSE, THEN I QUIP 'SCOTCH?' CHRIST ON TOAST!"
Kenny has no idea what's happening, and sits down in the hard wooden chair across from Mannix. Suddenly he bursts into tears. Through the sobs, "I can't find him!!!"
Mannix realizes the case is afoot. "Who? Who's lost? And where did you see him last?"
Still sobbing, Kenny manages to finally state facts. "Sam! My partner! I can't find Sam!"
Mannix goes into detective overdrive. "Let's go over all the possible places Sam could be. Mordor with Frodo? On a poster wanting you? Pandering evil dead spidermen? Twitching his nose at Darren? Yosemite? Any of those places at all???"
Kenny collects himself. "No sir, none of those places. Not at all. I cannot find my good friend Sam. I cannot find him, sad I am. I cannot find him in the hall. I cannot find him on the wall. I cannot find him on a plane. I cannot find him on a train. I cannot find him here or there. I cannot find him anywhere."
Mannix was growing bored. Kenny clearly needed a doctor. Into the intercom, "Peggy, get me Seuss, on the double."
Kenny droned on undaunted. "I cannot find him in a box. I cannot find him with a fox. I cannot find him in a house. I cannot find him with a mouse."
Mannix was suddenly hungry, and was struck by a brilliant idea. "Miss, is it possible your friend Sam is simply having breakfast down at the diner?"
Kenny suddenly snapped to attention, his eyes instantly clearing. "Why yes! He's having his favorite breakfast before our golf match!"
Scratching out an invoice, payable on receipt, Mannix was convinced the case was solved. "It's quite simple, Miss. Your friend Sam is down at the Eat-n-Putt enjoying a plate of green eggs and ham. 200 dollars, please..."
Kenny let loose a belly laugh. 'Don't be absurd... Chicken and waffles. And scotch. Dumbass...."

Tales from the Cyder Cup - Volume Two, Chapter Six, Better Ball: Marc van Niekerk/David Herron (Monarchs) vs Art Vandelay/Mark Lawrence (Strikers)
A match for the ages, a classic showdown, power against power, the one we've all been waiting for. Here is the blow by blow...
Mon Str
1. e3 e5
2. d4 exd4
3. exd4! Bb4+
4. c3 Bd6
5. Nf3 Nh6
6. Be2 O-O
7. O-O Re8
8. Bxh6 gxh6
9. Qd2 Qf6
10. Qc2 Qe6
Surprisingly, things were all square at this point, as the tension built to a breaking point. Even the confused gallery had trouble making sense of what was happening. When suddenly...
11. Bd3 Na6
Still all square, but would this be the turning point in this tight match between two very tightly matched teams?
12. Re1 Qf6
13. Rxe8+ Kg7
14. Bxh7 Bf8
And just like that, Marc and David H found themselves with a 2 up lead and 4 to play. Art and Mark were tightening up, trying anything in their power to pull this one out. Did they have one more trick up their sleeves? Let's watch...
15. Ne5 Bd6
16. Rg8# ----
A gutsy effort by the Strikers here, but in the end, they ran out of juice. In the crowd, Kasparov wept, while Deep Blue cheered wildly, doing significant damage to the grounds, much to the dismay of greenskeepers.

evilgrin72 sid snott Avakrac RHMIII CYDER CUP - MATCH REPORT BETTER BALL - DAY 2  Bogeyman Pete here with you today, reporting from the beautiful Royal Melbourne Golf Course, right in the heart of the sand belt country. Much anticipated betterball match here that, on paper, looks to be very evenly matched indeed. Weather is fine and clear and it is a lot less blustery here on the second day - which can only be a good thing. Ok things are underway with a bit of an arm wrestle on the first two holes - Even after 2. Strikers take the 3rd hole with a beautiful 20' putt from Andy for birdie and the blue team has their noses in front. Back to arm wrestling and the next 6 holes are halved. So it's Strikers 1 up at the halfway stage. The Monarchs suddenly realise they are playing in a golf match and are behind 1 hole. Paul birdies 10 and Johnny eagles 11 and birdies 12. Lo and behold Monarchs are up 3 holes to 1 with 6 to play. Each side wins a hole each over the next 2 and its 4 - 2 with 4 to play. Next 2 are halved and The Strikers need to do something real quick. Paul birdies the 17th and it's pretty much all over red rover. With the opposition in disarray Johnny yells out "I think we've got 'em - they don't know whether they're Arthur or Martha" Paul quipped "no it's not that Johnny - they don't know whether they're Andy or Randy!" Meanwhile The Strikers are still trying to work out which team has the better balls. "You idiots" cries Paul "it's Johnny. Johnny BOLLOCKS!"

Just a little thought for the future which Iāve put by Admin. Enjoying everyone being involved in this Cyder Cup match play format so, how about an end of season event along the lines of 16 teams of two players (either drawn random, drafted on averages or selected from within the teams) playing....
Round 1 16 teams, 8 matches, winners to Championship, losers to Plate.
Round 2 8 teams, 4 matches (Championship and Plate)
Round 3 4 teams, 2 matches (Championship and Plate)
Round 4 Final 2 teams, 1 match (Championship and Plate)
All scored in match play format, better ball. Just using our normal Beer League rounds. Weaknesses? 16 players Round 3 wouldn't count, 24 players Round 4 wouldn't count. That may kill idea for some.
Interested in thoughts from the group. Kind of thing youād like to try or not?

Cyder Cup Day 2 Match 1--Better Ball Monarchs ( inflames47 & @bovakian ) vs Strikers ( deathstar & artb ) Wardrobe is important in golf. If you do not dress appropriately you can be uncomfortable which can lead to poor performance. Welcome all to the opening match of day 2 of our 2nd Cup O' Cyder. With the Cup all knotted up tighter that Ashton Fox Ashton's manbun, this opening game is pivotal. The teams arrived at the first tee dressed for success: Charlie sporting his Bryson DeChappeau, Art puffing on his Michael Jordan ciggy, David (I prefer to call him Bova) making everyone bleed from the retina with his choice of colors, textures and patterns complete with his lucky kilt. But Carol stole the show when she strutted to the first tee in he Marilyn Monroe white dress, complete with neckline plunging to depths Jacques Cousteau had never reached. Carol starts hotter than her outfit, driving the first green and calmly rolling in the eagle deuce. Carol and Bova combine for ten birdies over the next 8 holes to take a 2 up lead at the turn. Bova makes a nifty 18 HFNB putt for a birdie on 10 to go 3 up, then the match went tense. The next four holes were halved by stellar play on both sides, leading to the par 5 15th where it got weird. All players reached in regulation with Charlie furthest away followed by Carol, Bova then Art with a great chance for birdie. Charlie's attempt from long distance brazillians the hole and cruises 4 feet past. Carol misses her attempt, her ball stopping on a direct line between the hole and Art's ball. Bova, finding form here on the back, drains his putt for the birdie. Since her partner holed out, Carol went and picked up her ball. Then it happened. Some will call it a wardrobe malfunction; some will insist it was intentional, others say it was inevitable with that outfit. Obviously flustered, Art's birdie sailed wide right. Monarchs win, 4 & 3 Please dress responsibly. Onward. |
