Changed my spectacle’s before I approached the tee. Ah much better as I could now see the fairway and not a runway.
Clean through the ball high into the sky but it stopped dead when it hit the ground, no bounce no carry though nothing and not one letter correct.
Much better second and the thwack as the iron t.watted the ball took it to the edge of the green. “I’m almost there” I told myself as I had 2g, 1y.
Gentle chip and oh so close as the ball stopped 2inch short of the hole. 4g.
Gentle tap in gave me a wry smile as I saw 5g.
Much better with par for the day leaves me on +4. Thought I’d be advancing to +5 but just goes to show if you change your specs you see things more clearly.Comment

Buoyed by the last two days of a buzzard and a bird (are you sure you golf people have this right? Weird) I had a hearty breakfast of Guiness and Vodka before making my way to the court. Confident I could now do whatever I wanted and as long as I drank enough it would be a success, I changed my technique again with a completely different word to any I've tried before and confidently slashed away with my serve. Woosh. Clipped the ball (research this and it's not a puck, thanks Google) which went 5 foot off to my left (0g 1y).
Clearly, the only way to solve a crisis is to up the drinking something proper, and luckily I had brought the rest of the vodka on the bat carrier. Two big gulps and here we go. Slash! The ball skewed helplessly over to my right and well short of the green short grassy bit with the flag (0g 2y)
Saw Brin out on the court in the distance. Waved hello. He swore at me. Rude.
Frustrated. More gulps. Got a another bat, metal one with funny shape. Hit the ball and it went upwards for some reason but landed just off the grass bit with the flag (1g 1y). This is ****ing **** and I'm fed up with it. In fury I swipe at the ball without care with the funny shaped bat again and luckily it looped straight up onto the green thing and hobbled straight into the hole nudging the flag happily on its way (5g)
So I come out after a shocking start with a Parp and quite happy with that. Dropped trousers at Brin who seems to be calling someone on his phone in the distance. That'll learn ya fella. That'll learn ya.Comment

Rearrange these two words to get my feelings on today's effort, smacked and gob. My 2nd shot never even bounced (I really had no clue after the first shot (just the 2nd vowel) so went with the surname of a guy I have a meeting with in 30 minutesOriginally posted by howdydoo View Post

Two eagles and two double bogeys on the same hole! Nice going CAM and Howdy. Bramley and I were the strugglers.
I spent two fruitless goes hacking around in the rough trying to get back on the fairway. Only an excellent final putt saved me from the ignominy of finishing on three over.
I see a fight brewing between Raging and Brin. We should have set you off at different times...
(In truth I've only ever tried playing golf once and I was pretty crap at it. However, I did do a fair amount of caddying at the Berkhamsted Club in my early te.ens - which also put me off the game since there were some right old snooties who got a kick out of ordering us boys around for a couple of hours for ten bob and a tip if we we were lucky. Earlier, I lived just a stone's throw from the Sitwell Park Club and used to muck about on the greens when cowboys and indians in Shroggs Wood got a bit boring...)Comment

Birdie 3 for me today (17th Nov)
After seeing howdy and CAM firing a 2 yesterday I needed to keep chipping away at them so was hoping for something decent.
On the tee I had to remove cans of Guinness and empty bottles of vodka that pup had left yesterday so thanks for that pup.
Anyway back to todays hole (hope the wife doesn't find out) started with the driver (he said his bus wasn't due out yet) and hit a reasonable first shot just to the right of the fairway and around 125 yards from the green (2y)
Didnt know which club to use next, as I've never played on a full course before, so played eenie meenie mynie moe in the golf bag, and whilst I hit a really good 2nd shot onto the green, the putter wasn't really the best club to end up with (2g+1y)
Anyway, kept hold of my putter with a tricky 2 and a half footer to negotiate, and was really pleased to see it go into the hole for a nice birdie (5g)

The game has been kind to my start word this week. It was all 4 and 5’s the last two weeks. I was getting 1y or nothing at all 1st guess.
Be interesting to see what averages CAM posts for the game this week. I bet it’s way down.Comment
