Re: Bluemoon Golf Competition 2013
Well we've had our first WGC and it was a very dramatic week with snow and big names being sent packing by underdogs very early on, however it was still great entertainment as always is with matchplay and the solid style of Matt Kuchar triumphed as he beat Fujita, Garcia, Colsaerts, Garrigus, Day and Mahan on the way to the title, can't say he didn't earn which is why matchplay is such a good format. Defeating the defending champion in the final is always a good way to win it. That evidently helped PhuketBlue go to the top as he had both Kuchar and Mahan so he takes a big lead into this week:
1) PhuketBlue 3490
2) Carstairs 2545
3) MC 2485
4) bluesmith 2315
5) simonr555 2155

30) RH 825
31) maccadon 815
32) manc73 805
33) ohfk 790
34) Garrinchas---Dog 730
35) Brisblu 725

Now the First Preliminary Round of the BM Golf Cup was this week, and here is the result:
BM Golf Cup-First Preliminary Round
homerdog 650-590 ohfk.
So unfortunately ohfk is eliminated from the Cup and homerdog goes into the Second Preliminary Round which takes place next week at the WGC Cadillac Championship.
As I said before, the cut-off point to escape the bottom 12 in the league table was at the WGC Matchplay. This means that the 12 teams(excluding ohfk) below the dotted line in the table are now in the Second Preliminary Round. Congratulations to the 26 teams above that line, you have qualified for the First Round Proper of the Cup which will take place in Masters week in April.
That means we have 12 teams vying for 6 spots in the First Round, so naturally a straight knockout is in order. The 12 teams are unseeded and are as follows:
Poynton Blue, homerdog, BimboBob, RH, maccadon, manc73, Garrinchas---Dog, Brisblu, jay_mcfc, ickle~blue, newenglandblue and Biggsy1.
and the draw is:
BM Golf Cup-2nd Preliminary Round Draw
Poynton Blue v maccadon.
RH v BimboBob.
Biggsy1 v ickle~blue.
manc73 v jay_mcfc,
Garrinchas---Dog v Brisblu.
newenglandblue v homerdog.
Ties to be played in the week of the WGC Cadillac Championship(next week).
Onto this week and another nothing event on the European Tour in Africa but the PGA Tour treats us with the Honda Classic as we begin the Florida Swing. McIlroy, Woods and Rose lead a strong field aiming to put right their poor performances last week. So:
PGA Tour-Honda Classic-Category C.
European Tour-Tshwane Open-Category F.
Enjoy!.
