Halved.

Spaceage (2) v. Tdcoly
After halving 1, Ted runs off two natural pars to take an early lead; Spaceage claws back with a bogey and a wind-aided par to even it after 5 holes; they halve 6 in bogey; Ted takes 7 with a double (Spacey pwn3d!) to go 1-up with 2 to play; Spaceage takes 8 with a natural par to even it; and then Ted pars to Spaceage's bogey on the final hole.
Tdcoly, 1-up.

Teed v. Salamander (2)
Teed takes par to win the first hole; 2 is halved with doubles; Teed cards a couple bogeys while Sal, clearly suffering from appendicitis or something, takes ... um, a couple high numbers; 5 is halved; Sal wins 6 with a gross par to pull to 2-down with three to go; the players halve 7 with ugly doubles, putting Sal dormie; Teed wins 8 by a stroke.
Teed, 3 & 1.

Spanky (2) v. Uisce Beatha
Both players stumble with opening double-bogeys; after the crowds grow disinterested and leave, Uisce rattles off par-bogey-double to go 3-up after 4; Spanky takes 5 with a double (Uisce pwn3d!), but gives it right back with his own double on 6 to stay at 3-down and go dormie; they halve 7 with bogeys and it's all over.  Shame, too, as Spanky went birdie (gross), birdie (net) on the closing two holes.
Uisce, 3 & 2.

MFAWG (1) v. Walfredo
Walfredo bolts out with par wins on the first two holes; after halving the next two, MFAWG cards a net birdie to bring it to 1-down after 5; Walfredo wins the next with par to go 2-up with three to play; the players halve 7 with bogeys, taking MFAWG dormie; Walfredo pars 8 and wins.
Walfredo, 3 & 1.

The first two holes are halved, then Ray takes 3 and 4 with natural pars; Julie bounces back with net birdie/par to bring the match all-square after 6; Ray pars 7 to go 1-up; players take bogeys to halve 8 and put Julie dormie; Julie wins the last with a net bogey.  [EDITED TO CORRECT SCORING ERROR]

This post will be updated as scores come in.

Holy Crap!  This is cool.

 

Some tight matches and clutch play at the end!

This stuff is so much easier now that I've tossed out the scores and handicaps and am just making crap up.

 

Figures. I shoot a 37 and get my ass kicked.

pm sent for scoring question. 

  too.

Great round BFBoy!   

Seamus, you too!  Great play!

We are TeH sUkK!!!

I blame Tiger.

Of course, the fabulous triple I took on 2 didn't help, but it's really all Tiger's fault.

Or maybe The Librul Meddeeuh...

Hey Clive, thanks for all the work, and excellent job on the descriptions.  It's like I was there!  You deserve a little karma for your efforts.


Way to go to Captain TFT for putting together such a powerful team. We can't lose week one!!!  Karma going your way as well.


Yeah baby!!

Well, being all square after 8 holes I knew the pressure was on.  I figured a birdie on the 9th would secure the win, so I decided to let it out.

The 9th is a 485 yard par-5 dogleg left, but there's trouble left all the way.  I hit a good drive to the corner, about 240-250 yards. That left me about 225 yards to the green.  I hit a good shot with my 16º utility and ended up about 5 yards short and left of the green. 

I was pretty sure that if I could get up-and-down for a birdie I could secure the match.  I lined up the chip, a 45 footer with a big left-to-right break, took a couple of practice strokes and let 'er go.  The ball was tracking all the way.  About half-way there, I knew I'd have a short putt for bird.  But the ball kept tracking...tracking...IT'S IN THE HOLE!!! 

The amazing thing is, I eagled the same hole during the previous round.  For that one, I hit a slightly better drive, and lasered my utility club to about 8" from the hole.  A kick-in eagle!
