OT Wordle.

Nice one Brin.

Hole 10

The sight of Ronners showing his hairy ar$e threw my concentration. An abysmal drive saw me end up short and in the trees. Absolutely no way out either forwards or sideways, so had to chip out 20 yards back down the fairway.

Now it was my 3rd shot and I still couldn't put Ronner's monstrosity of a backside out of my mind. Another rubbish shot into the heavy rough.

Shot no 4. Things get even worse. Ronners and Brin have a grandstand view whilst waiting to take their tee shots on the 11th. In fact due to a hold up, there's a few Madsters watching things unfold with stupid smirks on their faces. Gormless f@ckkers ! These smirks turn into howls of laughter as my ball travels 30 yards out of the rough. Unfortunately 28 yards of that was in the air.

Shot no 5. Still in deep rough my thoughts turned to Millertop. Was I also going to be bitten by this hole? A pitching wedge and 2 bounces later, the answer was no. A bogey 5 which felt like a par in the end. Damage limitation and a reminder how cruel this game can be. At least that final shot wiped a few smirks away.

Thinned bunker overshot Green other side. 1y 1g
Left pitch shot 20 foot short. 2g
Rattled in a putt to make it 1 over. 5g

Finally took out the new driver that cost me a fortune but was a bit wayward on the range. Rory McIlroy eat your heart out. Club head speed 160mph, elevation 120', curve 20', carry 350yds with 75yds of run for a total of 425yds to the middle of the green. Eyes as big as saucers lining up a sure eagle but slightly misread it and had to settle for a birdie. Wondering if I'm on the right course XD

-4 after 10.

Parp.

Judging by the scores others have posted this was going to be a toughie...glad to be teeing off a little later and not having to confront Millertop's meltdown and the contretemps between Howdy and Ronners. I know Raging is lurking somewhere, and nursing the mother of all hangovers, but, for now, all is calm.

...and what an advantage that turned out to be. Powerful wood drive from the tee straight down the fairway to within thirty feet of the green but a terrible lie with no view of the hole (1y 1g) Could have played it safe and chipped on to the part of the green I could see and then a possible long put birdy or a comfortable par.

Instead I thought "I'm gonna chip blind over this hillock and see what happens."

..and it worked! Straight into the hole blind from a total of eighty feet for an eagle!! (5g)

A moment of daring that truly paid off

Climbed up the hill after the 9th

Tempted to nip into the bar but heard there were some issues with Raging so started round again on this 9 hole course.
So the 10th is the 1st etc

Down the hill*
Trees to the right separating the 10th (1st) from the 9th (18th)
Out of bounds to the left

3W off the tee. Shocking shot. Went right, hit the practice nets just in front of the 9th. 1y
Free drop but best I could do was chip out onto the fairway. 1y
Topped it ! but at least still on fairway. 1g
5 iron straight into bunker on LHS of green 1g, 2y
Sand iron, on green at last 3ft from pin 2g, 2y
Tricky putt, several options but just holed it 5g

Double Bogie 6
7 over for the round

* Clue

Waterfront, Bramley. (Nine hole course, apparently. Looks good.)

Close.
Been to their driving range but not played it.
