Chicagoland Matchplay Tournament 2023 - 2CGC Team Qualifier

Thank god my putting recovered after a little bit of PTSD from MP last weekend. It was a wonderful round at the tiger woods course and we might have talked someone into joining the refuge.

He might not have gotten those closest to the pins at Mt. prospect, but he’s coming for the match play bracket.

What a battle today! @Ballgame bested @Setwilli on a chip off at Sunset Valley today, after halving the match in the regulation 18.

Seth is a tough out. I had to hit 15 greens (and 40 putts) just to make it to the playoff. Really impressive game for how new he is to golf. I know it’s cliche at this point, but Ryan, Vinny, and Seth are really pleasant guys to spend 4.5 hours with semi-grinding and getting burnt up by the sun.

Sunset Valley is such a delight. Hard to find a gripe (besides lack of green collars and on course water coolers). Easily the best combination of quality, value, and proximity to the city.

@JAD and @andrewf, when do y’all duke it out?

We should probably get on that. Dates filling up quick. @JAD I will send you a DM and we can figure out a plan.

Ted, I have bad news. That’s about 180 yds.

Bad news? That’s fake news. That white dot is way too big to tell exactly where you dropped the pin. I get .098 miles = 172 yards. My irons were #dialed.

I figured Seth paid off the starter to give me a bad number. I didn’t realized he had got to you as well.

@JAD and I are playing our match at Mt Prospect on Sat 7/2 at 9:30. I’ve booked all four spots so just let me know if you’d like to join. $60 walking.

I narrowly hung on to take down @andrewf 1 up at Mount Prospect this morning. The man is a true gentleman and a dogged competitor. If the match was a few more holes, he likely would be in the final.

It was a great match!

@JAD had the match comfortably in control most of the round. Tried to battle on the back 9. He put it away with an absolute clutch par putt on 18.

@Setwilli: 3rd place round somewhere?

What a lovely match to spectate. I’ve never been to a Ryder Cup or a President’s Cup but can’t imagine there’s a whole hell of a lot of a difference.

Also let the record state, @JAD’s two putts on both 16 & 18 were some of the best I’ve ever seen. Nails

When someone “asks how to refuge?” I will say “this. This is how you refuge.”

@Ballgame and @JAD

Pls get your match done ASAP to give the region time to get their quota rounds done for regional round. You both have all but secured your spots but I would love to get this season done so I can focus on next year with those captains.

Guess we’re on to Cincinnati.

If @JAD wins would second place in breakfast ball or match play make the squad?

@Ballgame appealed to the appropriate court that he deserves a spot on the 2C team based on his performance in the match play and Breakfast Ball. The motion was sustained (I think that’s the appropriate court verbiage).
