OT Wordle.

[CTMilller]

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...)

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.

Had another man in the clubhouse last night. I was keeping up my form of getting hammered overnight but this guy is a nightmare - mixing strong lager, super strength cider, wine, perno and WKD to make what he called 'Plebby Bitch Snakebits'. After just a few he was getting violent, throwing furniture round, overturned the TV when a documentary on recent Labour Party leaders came on and when I asked him to calm down he kept making vicious throat sliiting gestures. I kept my head down in the corner and avoided his gaze as he continued shouting at things only he could see.

He had gone in the morning when I woke up and brushing aside the bottles and cans made my way out onto the court. My confidence was hit after getting only a parp yesterday after my two successive buzzards but a few snorts of my 'love powder' put me right and I served off.

Not as bad as yesterday but didn't go as far as I wanted, just skimmed the floor (2 y) Maybe I shouldn't have used the flat bat? I changed to that big fat one and slammed as hard as I could but skewed off to the side. (1g 1y)*******s. I'm losing the plot here and nipped into the bushes for a quick weep. Suddenly the love powder lifted my spirits and used a slanty bat which lifted the ball surprisingly stright onto the short grassy green bit with flag and I was near the hole for what turned out to be a simple conversion for another Parp.

After another poor start I considered my game. it's sh1t and I hate it.

Again, dispirited I went back to the clubhouse to start the day's proper manouvres and as I appraoched the door could already hear the screaming and snarling with accompanying slams and crashes with an unheard ferocity. I trembled at the door - this man is highly dangerous but this is where all of the drinks are. I had no choice but to slowly open the door. He stood menacing in the shadows, his face a grim mask of hatred and fury.

"Hello Kerr".

Hole 6

Despite course being close to waterlogged hit a magnificent first shot over the dip to within 3ft of the pin 4Y

"These are easily missed" I thought to myself, but no, straight in for an Eagle 2 5G

3 over for the round

(All holes based on an actual course. Any guesses ? Just wish I could replicate the scores with my clubs !)

[CTMilller]

A mighty iron drive straight down the fairway had me on the green and 12 inches from the hole in 2 shots. (4g and just the last letter missing.) Savoring a birdie 3 with an easy tap in I could not believe that some blithering idiot would drop a screw cap from the top of a vodka bottle right next to the hole. My ball pinged off it and finished a yard from the hole! Fortunately I sank that one for par - but it’s not good enough! Standards are dropping; they let anybody on to a golf course these days.

Heard there were some shenanigans going on back at the club house this evening….

[CAMiller]

Golf's a great leveler. Still giddy on the tee after the eagle on the previous hole. Bobbled one barely 20 yards but composed myself for a decent second. Then came the rookie error (forgetting to use a letter I already knew was in the puzzle :blue), pulled out a 6 iron instead of a 9 iron and fired my approach 30 yards over the green. Could still have recovered for a par (as I'd a sneaky feeling the 4th word I entered had already been used) but it wasn't to be. Bogey 5 and back to -2 after 6.

Think Brin might have stayed back in the clubhouse to watch Raging confront Kerr…
