September 25, 2009 / October 9, 2009

Our club’s playoff season is now the in the Quarter Finals Stage and the 4 top players in our points standing are all set to battling it out with the winners of the "Wild Card" matches from early Sepember.  In the next few events we will finally have a 2009 Club Champion.  Who will take home the Seacoast Cup?.   The top 4 players have been waiting their turn to play their matches so here is the lineup.

Pre Match Notes:  The air was cool as players arrived early to the golf range to warm up.  Bret Herman was the first on the practice range working on his drives and long irons.  Curtis Chan shortly arrived after that and focused on his mid range iron shots.  Darryn Prince also made a early morning showing to warm up and tune up his driver.  Mike Nelson showed up just before his tee time to get a feel for the greens with his putter.  Both Darren Maglit and Geoff Baynes went straight from the pro shop to the tee to begin their matches.

Bret Herman vs. Geoff Baynes – Bret finished the regular season as the number one seeded player.  His game this year has improved each month and he certain has peeked at the right time.  Today would be his first official match play playoff towards the Seacoast Cup and his opponent Geoff just came off a great win in the Wild Card round.  Bret’s game will be intact as long as his drives off the tee keep him on or close to the fairways.  Geoff has to put his entire game together today.  He has to stay away from any “blow” up holes and concentrate on playing within his potential.  In the pre match interview, Bret explained, “ Goeff chose to play our match from the blue tees which surprised me…I’ll have to make sure I put my driver away most of the day, and let my 5 wood and long irons to the talking today…for me the tee shot will make or break my day.”

Curtis Chan vs. Darryn Prince – Curtis is the defending Seacoast Cup Champion and plays well in match play.  He has been keeping his game in check by periodically practicing when he can since he has had a bye from the wild card rounds.  His goal is to try to play his game, and let his opponent make the mistakes.  Darryn has been improving all year and his last wild card win has elevated his game to a new level. He successfully beat the 2007 Seacoast Champion (Bob Newby), in a tight match.  But his experience in match play has now given him confidence that he can compete with anyone as long as he doesn’t make big mistakes.  He knows that Curtis is a strong player.  In the pregame interview, he remarked, “my goal is to be at least 3 up on Curtis going into the last 3 holes, then I should have great chance of being victorious today.”  Curtis’  only remarks was, “I just have to play my game and concentrate on what I can control…Darryn is becoming a very smart golfer and has learned these past 2 years how to manage his game..even though he gets 17 strokes today…I have to just focus on trying to make birdies and tapping out for par.

Mike Nelson vs. Darren Maglidt  – Mike is our lowest indexed player in our Seacoast Group.  He is long off the tee, accurate iron player, and great putter.  His consistent low scores show why he has a low monthy index.  In the past 2 months, Mike has made the decision to take his game to the next level, but this means he has to change his grip.  This small swing change has been showing up in recent rounds by giving him the unexpected “shank” ball that shows up.  Mike expects to be controlled, play his game, and let Darren (the high handicap) make the mistakes common to a higher handicap player.  Darren has been practicing quite a bit by sneaking  in extra golf rounds these past months.  He is coming into this match with a big win in the wild card round where he finished the match in 12 holes.  Darren knows he is the higher handicap player, but he seems to play well under pressure.  If he focuses on making bogey during his round, he should be in good shape.

Dan Anderson vs. Bill Grow -   Bill and Dan are both experienced in match play.  Both have made it deep into the playoffs in previous years.  The player who keeps to his game plan should prevail.  Bill is a master of the short game and he compensates his length off the tee with accurate putting ability.  Dan has become very consistent off the tee with his signature “banana” fade drive which he controls to perfection.  Placing a tee shot within iron range for both players will be a big key to this match.  The other big key today will be to not make a mistake as the opponent will take advantage of this and “will make you pay.”

Quarter Final Match Play Results:

Arrowood GC , Friday, September 25, 2009

Herman vs. Baynes:  Herman wins 2 up.  Bret Herman had been waiting for the past 2 months to play his first Seacoast Match game.  He has earned the top seed in our Seacoast Points Leader board and his game has been shaping up nicely over the past months.  Getting to the course early and mentally preparing for the shots he needed to make for today’s round proved to be a key to his play today.  Geoff barely got done paying his green fees when his name was called by the starter to let him know that he was up on the tee box.  Geoff recently played his wild card round match and was quite successful in defeating Bill Brackett at Encinitas Ranch (5 and 4).  Geoff played one of his best back nine rounds by posting a 2 over par score and his hopes today was to take that momentum into his round with Bret.  Geoff’s goal was to keep the ball in play, and continue to make par. 

The first hole was a rude awakening for Geoff as Bret scored the first par for the day, and even though Geoff had a stroke advantage on the opening hole, he had to settle for the double bogey…something he didn’t count on…and so after 1 hole, Bret was already 1 up.  Geoff knew that if he didn’t settle down right away, this round could be a long round.  But then right off the tee box on the 2^nd hole, trouble took over Bret’s swing.  Bret found himself having to take a penalty shot for a lost ball, and before he knew it, Geoff calmly putted out for a double bogey (net bogey) and the match was all tied.  Bret had to take a big “11” on the hole, which was totally not in his plan.  Bret couldn’t believe he had to face such misery on one hole, and knew if he was going to loose any more holes it wasn’t going to be from his bad play.  He took a deep breath  to settle himself, but over the next few holes, he struggled to find any feel of his normal game and swing.  By the time they got to the 9^th hole, Bret found himself in a deep hole being 3 down.  Geoff on the other hand realized that by just playing decently today, his opponent seemed to be self destructing and was beating himself.  This is exactly what Geoff needed to win the match.  But then at the turn, Bret somehow finally reorganized his game and dug down deep to find his normal golf swing.  On hole 10 he put his tee shot in position to make the easy par.  Geoff had to settle for double and gave up the hole.  On hole 11 both players battled to make par, but both missed their putts and a tie was posted.  Then the entire momentum shifted into Bret’s favor as he again made par on hole 12.  Geoff on the other hand totally misplayed several shots and ended up with the big “9”, putting Bret closed to bringing the match to even.  Bret sensed some aggrevation in Geoff’s game and he realized that as long as he continued to just play steady golf, then Geoff would have a hard time matching his shots.  Bret focused on “fairways” and “greens” and that’s’ what happened.  On hole 13, Bret executed  set of delicately placed shots and easily scored a par, while Geoff once again struggled and posted an “8”.  Geoff, realizing that his 3 up lead was now all gone, and with 5 holes left, he had to turn his game around in a big way.  On hole 14 Bret opened the door for Geoff to make a move by missing his par putt, but Geoff wasn’t able to capitalize and also settled for bogey.  Then on the par 3 hole #15, Bret again opened the door for Geoff by missing the green.  Geoff stroked on this hole and Geoff realized this was his big break.  He knew that Bret would have a difficult time to save par.  All Geoff needed was a bogey and he could take the lead.  But the challenges of the 15^th hole took it’s toll on both players and they both ended up with a tie.  So going into the most difficult  hole 16, both players fully understood the magnitude of thieir match.  All square with 3 holes left.  Bret went first off the tee box and beautifully hit a shot right down the fairway, leaving him with a short iron to the green.  After seeing Bret’s shot, Geoff concentrated and answered back by placing his tee shot well within scoring distance.  Knowing that he had a stroke on this hole, Geoff did everything he could to make par, but his bogey only tied Bret’s par and still with 2 holes left the match it was All Square.   Bret thought by now, Geoff would have nothing left in his game, but Geoff somehow scrambled to keep up with the play of Bret.  Geoff felt fortunate that he was still tied with Bret even though he started out the back nine with triple and quadruple bogeys….perhaps the next hole would give him the break he needed and a lead in the match.   Bret kept  his cool and once again played his calm, cool, and collective game….”fairways” and greens”…and after 3 stokes he was tapping out for par on #16.  Geoff knew the whole match was on the line as he studied his bogey putt on #16, and with confidence he rolled the putt in to take the tied match to the 17^th hole.  Going into hole #17, Bret realized that Geoff proved to be quite the scrambler and mentally tough player.  Geoff had been grinding all day to keep pace with Bret’s stellar play especially for past 3 holes.  So once again, Bret placed a nice tee shot  down the fairway well within striking distance to score well.  But Geoff finally hit the wall in his game as his driver failed him off the tee.  This proved to be the end of his journey to win the Seacoast Cup as he ended up posting the “snowman” on both 17, and 18, which gave the match to Bret. 

With this win, Bret gave a big sigh of relief.  In the post game interview Bret said, “I just had to play my game...it was really shaky at the start, especially when I took the “11” on #2.  By the time we got to hole 9 he had a 3 up lead and I knew I had to shift my game into another gear.   After he gave up holes 12 and 13 to me, I finally felt I had a chance to win...but Geoff just kept pace with my shots and we pretty much played even from holes 14-17.  It was quite the battle on the back nine.  Geoff really gave it a good run by making some crucial putts to keep the match tied.  I have  to give him a lot of credit for taking me on from the Blue Tees.  It was a challenge for him, but it was equally and more so mentally challenging for me to keep my drives on the fairways today from the blue tees.

Geoff said after his round..”Bret really played well especially on the back nine.  I sure gave him a run for his money….he didn’t back down and even though I put myself in position at the end to score, he prevailed by making the shots at the right time.  Bret is a great competitor and really mentally tough. My congratulations to him and I wish him all the best in the next round.”

Chan vs. Prince:  Chan win 1 up.   This match was scheduled for next week as Darryn originally was to be out of coutry this week.  But in the late afternoon on Thursday, September 24, he called Curtis to declare he wanted to play the match the next day.  Curtis replied…”Let’s go.”  Curtis admitted in the prematch interview, that he was a bit surprised at the request of Darryn to play the match, since 2 weeks ago he declared he would have to play sometime in the early part of October.  Curtis said he had mentally check out of playing competitive golf, but was willing to take on the challenge at such a short notice.

The 2 players were both seen early on the practice range, warming up their swings.  Darryn has recently come of a great win again Bob Newby and has become accustomed to defeating past Seacoast Champions (2007 Champion Bob Newby).  Today he is up against the defending 2008 Seacoast Champion, and with his recent level of great play, he was ready to take down another champion. 

The first hole was a wash as both players played safe shots, and Darryn calmly made his 4 foot bogey putt to keep the match tied.  Then on the 2^nd hole, Darryn drew first blood by taking advantage of Curtis’ inability to get up and down out of the bunker to make par.  Since Curtis putted out for his bogey, Darren once again made his putter sing by sinking a down hill 3 footer for his net par and win and a 1 up lead.  By now, Darryn and Curtis were settling into their match.  Curtis’ mental thought was to “play my game, minimize the mistakes, and give myself a chance at each hole.’   Darryn’s stategy was to”keep away from the big score, and make all the putts that are within my grasp.”  The match continued on for several holes in a sea saw manner but then on hole 6, Darryn managed to take the big “8”, giving Curtis a 1 up lead.  This is exactly what Darryn hoped to prevent today from happening and deep down he knew that making the “8” only would hurt the confidence in his game.  But then the wheels came off again on the next hole for Darryn as he worm burned his tee shot into the sage brush and he had to tee up a second ball.  Adding insult to injury, Darryn then flew the green with his 4^th shot and stuggled again with a 3 putt to post another 8.  This only gave fuel to Curtis’ cause as Curtis calmly putted out for another par.  Curtis now had a lot of momentum going in his game as he just complete 4 holes in a roll with routine tap in pars, and Darryn was mentally struggling to find some sort of resemblance of a golf swing.  Then on the par 3 hole #8, Darryn got the break he needed.  Curtis finally made a swing that didn’t produce a good result as his ball rolled into the hillside hazard.  Darryn collected himself and said..”it’s now or never….I’ve got to make a shot..” and with that he placed one of the best par 3 shots he has ever made and navigated the 145yd par 3 by putting his shot 2 feet from the hole.  Curtis could not believe his eyes, as Darryn’s shot almost rolled in.  But Curtis didn’t give up as he desperately tried to hole out on a chip shot from rough to at least save par.  When that didn’t happen for him he congratulated Darryn on a great shot and concede the hole to him.  The lead for Curtis was now only 1 and the next hole #9 par 5 was the next challenge.  Both players got off great drives. Curtis realized that Darryn’s birdie on the last hole gave some new life to his game, and Curtis wanted to put a stop to it.  After making the routine par, Darryn lined up his 4 foot putt to tie the hole and once again his putter sang as he rolled in another challenging putt.  After 9 holes, Curtis held a 1up lead.  Darryn realized that his strategy  for the last nine would be to get at least a 3 up lead by the 15 hole and that would give him a big advantage and pressure would then be all on Curtis. By the 12^th hole, Curtis was able to stretch the match lead to 2 up and it appeared that he was in control of the game.  But then Darryn dug down deep and won two holes in a roll (#14 and 15) to All Sqauare the match.   Darryn knew his plan was to be 3 up by this hole, but winning 2 holes in a roll to tie the match was just as good.  He had Curtis on the go, and with 3 hole left, Darryn realized his chances were pretty good.  Meanwhile, Curtis collected himself, and realized he had to put all doubt out of his thinking.  This next hole #16 is one of the most challenging holes in North County ,but Curtis was up for the challenge.  To be successful, Curtis knew that one needs almost a perfect drive on the fairway to have a chance to get to the green in two.  Curtis watched Darren place a safe 3 iron shot 180 yrds down the middle of the fairway, but Curtis knew Darryn would not be able to get there in 2.  So he picked his spot off the tee box, and placed a very tight long shot left of the fairway which slowly faded and landed just 135 yards from the green.  This was the  pressure shot, and Curtis sighed with relief…he just made the shot of the day !.   Darryn contratulated Curtis and the nice shot, but he then focused on what he had to do.  Knowing that the wind was picking up, and that he still had a stoke on this hole, Darryn decided to lay up, to avoid the large water hazard.  But then when he faced his 3^rd shot to the green, the pressure of having to clear the water took over.  Darryn’s shot came up short and dropped into the water.  This meant that he had to hole out on his next shot to even have a chance.  Curtis just placed his 2^nd shot 20 feet from the hole.  Darrryn tried his best to envision his 80 yard pitch shot falling into the cup, but the pressure was too much as he flew the green and lost a 2^nd ball to the water.  He conceded the hole to Curtis and said, “let’s go on to 17.”   Darryn now felt the pressure of the match.  It was do or die time.  He knew Curtis had all the momentum and his game was on cruise control mode tapping in for par.  Curtis put on another driving display as he placed his tee shot perfectly down the middle 140 yards out with the his utility club.  Darryn felt the intensity of the moment and knew he had to put his drive in play…he calmly swung his driver to place the ball 160 yards from the hole…a great drive under pressure.   Darren missed the green in regulation, and Curtis again his second shot within birdie range. Curtis missed his birdie opportunity to seal the match.  Darryn chipped onto the green but left himself 60 feet from the cup.  He again calmly showed his competitive fortitude by lagging up nicely and putting out for bogey send the match to the last hole.  Curtis now realized that this final hole was it.  If he didn’t win this hole or tie, Darryn would have a chance to win on a extra hole.  Curtis felt the wind blowing harder as he teed up this drive and he elected to play the conservative shot with his hybrid utility club.  But the tee shot Curtis made didn’t solidly make contact and the ball flew only 150 yards, leaving Curtis 220 to the hole into the win.  Darryn in the meantime, placed his drive 165 to the hole, but he also faced the ever increasing wind.  Both players contemplated their options and risk factors.  Curtis’ shot was next, and at first he held his utility club in his hand.  Darryn thought to himself…”Wow..Curtis is going for it…that’s a gutsy move.”  But then Curtis felt the wind gust and he settled on laying up to within 135 yards.  Darryn realizing that this was the moment and opportunity to seize his chance at the Seacoast Cup, he pulled out his 4 iron and swung for the green. Unfortunately, the wind proved to be a big factor, and his ball sailed into the water. Darryn couldn’t believe it…he felt he put the right amount of club on his ball, but it came out short…now things were in Curtis’ favor…but he had to make the shot.  Curtis gazed across the water hazard to the bending flagstick.  The wind certainly had picked up and he saw how Darryn’s ball fell short.  Curtis realized that it was now a 2 club wind, so he took out his 8 iron and prepared for his shot.  As soon as he compteted his swing, he told his golf partner, “I hit it well…” and the ball flew right on line 12 feet above the cup.  Darryn couldn’t believe his eyes, Curtis just placed the shot right on target, and now Darryn’s changes were dwindling.  He went to his drop spot and told himself, “I’m hitting 4 and if I get up and down I’m still in the match.”  Darryn then proceeded and hit the perfect 9 iron into the wind and dropped his shot just 15 feet above the cup.  It was now an all out putting contest for the match !.  Curtis couldn’t believe what he just saw, Darryn under pressure hitting his shot into the wind and dropping it right into scoring range.  As the two players collected themselves, Darryn exclaimed that when the match ties up, they will have to go to the 10^th hole for a play off.  Curtis studied his putt carefully, but was happy that Darryn was first to go.  Darryn had to make his putt or else it would be a double bogey, and if Curtis even 2 putted it would be a tie and Curtis would win the match.  Darryn also thought," this putt is a down hiller, and Curtis putt is not any easlier than mine…I must make it and put pressure on him."    Darryn sized it all up and putted... the ball quickly rolled to the cup and at first it looked like that putt was accelerating, but it was on line and it hit hard the back of the cup and bounced in…Darryn just knocked it stiff into the cup to save bogey !!!...He pulled it off...what an increidble putt..he had to take a deep breath to comprehend what he just did.  Curtis at that point realized that   the pressure was now all on him.  He had just witnessed Darryn’s putt drop, but since the speed was so quick, Curtis could’t get any read on the putt.  Curtis remembered a few rounds ago he had a similar putt from about 20 feet away that dropped, The putt was definielty downfill  breaks about 2 cups to the left.  Curtis took aim and as the ball left his putter Curtis knew it was right where he wanted it.  The ball slowly rolled down and make a turn to the hole and dopped in.  Curtis saved par and won the match !!... Darryn ...thinking that there was going to be an extra hole, could only drop his jaw in amazement….Curtis again pulled out the magic putter and made something happen. 

In the post match interview, Darryn said…” I gave it my best shot….Curtis hung in there all day, and didn’t make very many mistakes.  I only got to 1 up on him and that’s all I could do.  He hung in there long enough for me to make some big mistakes, and then he put the dagger in on me by sinking that 12 footer on 18.”   Curtis had a big smile on his face as he was asked how he felt about his match against Darryn..” I knew that Darryn has been playing great in this match play format….he took out Bob Newby who is a great competitor, and so I knew I had to be on the top of my game today.  There were a few times I opened the door for him, but I quickly recovered on the following hole.  I played a good game today and it came down to who could make their putts in the end.  I ended up on top today.  Darryn kept pressing all day, and made it very interesting all the way to the 18th hole...he sure gave me a great match!”

Nelson vs. Maglidt:  Maglidt wins 6 and 5.   Both Darren Maglidt and Mike Nelson showed to the course just minutes before their tee time.  After they both settled in on the match at hand the tone for Mike’s day was all set when he flared his tee shot towards the right hazard area.  Darren flew his tee shot long on onto the 10^th fairway.  His second shot turned out to be a great shot as he was left with 15 foot putt for birdie.  In the meantime, Mike was able to find his ball in the “flower bed” area and was able to take a free drop.  Mike was a bit unsettled as his normal “fairways and greens” game was not present on this first hole.  He was just 90 yards out and he got an great break with the “flower bed “ rule. Seeing that Darren was already on the green Mike took aim and delivered a spectacular short iron shot 2 feet above the hole.  Unfortunately, Mikes great recovery shot could only tie Darren the hole was halved.  After this, Mike realized he had to make more birdies to compete in this match.  As the match continued, Mike’s uncharacteristic “hazel shot” came out for a showing and costs him several holes.  But Mike held his ground has the high handicap Darren began to settle in and play good golf.  By the end of 6 holes, the match was All Square.  Then on hole #7, Mike once again flared his approach shot to the green from only 80 yards out and he had to chip out of the hazard.  Darren hung tight and made his bogey put, while Mike 3 putted for a double.  Darren tood a 1 up lead and never looked back.  On the next hole, Mike made par, but Darren had a 2 stoke allotment and his bogey netted him a eagle to take a 2 up lead.  Then again on #9, Darren’s bogey putt gave him another win as Mike failed to execute several shots and he had to settle for a bogey.  After 9 holes, Mike realized he had been giving up too many shots and was not playing his “A” game.  Darren on the other hand, was hanging touch and playing way better than his playing potential.  As then arrived on the 10^th hole, Darren played lights out by making a par (net birdie) to win another hole to take a 4 up lead.  The lead kept building as Darren was relentless in not giving up any holes to Mike.  Mike’s normal game of giving himself a chance a birdie was just not there and Darren took advantage of this.  By the time the 13^th hole was complete, Darren was playing the round of his life and posted another natural par (net birdie) on the long par 5 to close out the match. 

In the post match interview Darren said, “I’m so overly pleased at my play today.  I felt like I was in the zone as all my shots just went well.  I didn’t get into a lot of trouble and when I did, I seemed to recover nicely and avoided the big score of triple and quad scores. … I really got a big break today, as Mike didn’t come with his normal low scoring game.”  Mike was very cordial in giving props to Darren for his steady play.  Mike said, “I realized today that it just not my day as I sprayed too many shots all over the course today.  Normally I can recover and still make par, but Darren hung in there won each hole I didn’t play well on.  Then he also played well on the holes I did well on too.  This was a good win for him.”

Anderson vs. Grow: Anderson wins 5 and 3 .  This match took place on Friday, October 2, 2009.  The course was played in reverse order as the normal back nine become the front nine.  Both players got to the course to warm up the shots and feel the speed of the greens.  As they both traded welcoming handshakes on the first tee, they both acknowleged that the game was on.  Bill and Dan have known each other for years and now having to battle each other match play added a new dimension to their friendship.  Bill took the first hole as Dan was a bit unsteady in his putting.  But Dan recovered quickly by taking advantage of Bill’s double bogey on the 2^nd hole par 3.  The match went back and forth for several more holes, but by the time the first 9 holes were completed, Dan had a 2 up lead.  Dan kept his lead and played steady and put together a string of pars on the 13-15 holes.  Bill couldn’t break Dan’s super play and by the time they both stood over the 15^th hole of the match Bill had a 4 up lead.  Bill knew his back was up against the wall and he had to pull out all the stops.  But then Bill’s game caved in as one tough shot tuned into another.  Dan layed up this tee shot on the shot par 4, to within 90 yards.  Bill’s tee shot went long to the green and left him with a short but difficult chip shot just 15 feet off the green.  Bill decided to implement his “Texas Putter” style and putt up the hillside rough and let the ball run down to the hole.  But Bill was not successful in getting the ball up the hill.  This left him with another tough shot (putt) which  had too much speed and rolled off the green 40 feet down hill into the hazard.  Bill then had to chip out of the hazard, but came short off the green and the ball once again rolled back down into the hazard.  Bill realized that his game was over and picked up his ball and concede the hole and congratulated Bill on his decisive win. 

Dan explained in the post match interview, “I played very well today.  After my shaky start on the first hole (4 putt), I settled in and made my putts, especially when I had to make them.  Bill surely didn’t have his normal game today, but I knew I had to keep the pressure on him throughout the match as he can easily turn the tide and get things going.  I know Bill normally has a very strong short game, but somehow today he didn’t have that special element in his game. “   Bill was gracious to answer questions in the post match interview room and said, “Dan got things going especially in the last 4 holes of the match.  I tried to claw my way back into the match but he fended off all my attacks with winning putts.  I really got to give Dan credit for putting it all together today.  If Dan continues to play like he did today, he may be on his way to lifting up that 2009 Seacoast Cup on his shoulders.”
