CS down 2 thru 10
MVZ 2 up thru 8
JH 1 up thru 7
AP 4 up thru 6
BB A/S up thru 6

I've got the live stream running but am only getting the audio until the first group gets to 14. They aren't talking about the play on the course just talking.

Anyway, one of them was just talking about AP being 4up thru 6. He said "the dude is on fire!....on FIRE!!" It was a little funny...

Yeah, was noticing that.

where are people getting scores? even the audio of the two talking about nothing has gone away now.

Do yall still have audio. I just lost mine.

Just a min ago he say "it would look a lot nicer on camera if you would clean your schitt up..."

lol

Scoring

I haven't followed golf that much, so forgive me. Does each team only have 5 golfers play (meaning everyone has already tee'd off) and is it only match play to determine who wins?

Sry I keep beating you Cru

dwaustin,

my understanding is that the 5 are it and that it is the score of wins/losses and not a cumulative of holes won.

in other words, right now it is 4-1 A&M if this were over.

Birdied a 481 par 4

Thanks Chase.

I'm at work!

to add to what Chase said, all a team has to do is win 3 of the 5 matches.

You work and I'll keep you up to date so you can get home haha

Do any of you still have audio?

CS 1 down thru 11
MVZ 2 up thru 9
JH 2 up thru 8
AP 4 up thru 7
BB 1 up thru 7

I was, don't worry ahah

Cru, how the hell are you staying current? Golfstat is not up with you.

golfstat while slow, is still updating. Are you not having any luck?

We are looking good. If CS can come back and win his match, then I don't see how we can keep from winning. Be glad when the video is up.

Mine is not updating as quickly as you are relaying info.

Video!

Video is up. Sort of.

just to second that, chase is correct. each team has 5 players. in match play all 5 matches count (in other words you don't drop the worst round like you do in team stroke play). a team needs three points to win. there are no ties in match play (with the exception listed at the bottom).

there are several ways a match could end (but always resulting in an entire point being awarded to the match winner, unless the exception listed below has occurred).

In match play a player gets A point for winning A hole (regardless of by how many strokes a player won the hole by). The match is concluded after 18 holes, with the winner being determined by whoever has won more holes. The Match could end prior to 18 holes if it is impossible for the other player to win (ie player 1 is up by 2 after the conclusion of 17 holes). Conversely, if the match is still "all square" (A/S) after 18, it goes into sudden death.

in team match play a 1/2 point could be awarded to an A/S match if the entire team has already won, that is, once a team has won 3 matches, the remaining matches are irrelevant to the overall team effort.

having played competitive golf most of my life, there are a few interesting things about match play. First off, it is a different game from stroke play, and you often find that not all great stroke golf players are great match golf players. I have found that match play tends to benefit the more aggressive golfer. A larger edge also goes to the more psycholigically competitive golfer or intimidating golfer. It is interesting to me that you could actually have lost the round by stroke play, but still win the match. It is also harder to judge a round by simply looking at the score card, as people are forced to take risks that they might not otherwise take in stroke play.


anyway, hope that helps.

go ags golf.

ps I grew up in the same subdivision as BB, he was quite a bit younger than me, but da*n was he good!
