Match Play Event

The matchplay tournament is an extra friendly competition that all members can participate in.  We start the season with 16 players and run a double elimination match play event that we schedule around.  It is an extra bit of fun competition for those that want to compete.

Last year, we instituted a three-week rule.  If any match can’t be scheduled in a three-week period, the player who was playing and available for more of the weeks will be given the victory by default. This worked very well and we were able to get the match play event complete in plenty of time.

Bob Wagner entered the final match undefeated and Jarett Hayes came into the final match with one loss already. In the first match, Jarett dealt Bob his first defeat of the year on the back of Par 3 on the 200+ yard Hole 17 at Carnoustie setting up an epic final battle at the Hills at Peace Portal the next week.

It was a tight match going back and forth through the first 17 holes with the match all square on the Tee Box of 18. Both players could feel the pressure. Bob handled the pressure and put down a smooth par 5. Jarett did not and put a very lumpy double par 10. YIKES!!!

This year there will be a $100 first prize for the Match Play Champion. Who will take home the 2024 Match Play crown?
