Picture a nice and cosy country pub, a roaring fire, Guiness on tap and views of the golf course.

Hello Acid, long time no see my friend. Dick, you still employed? I thought you were released when the tent got pulled down.
You know me Acid, can't keep me away from the action and the parties mate. I will be doing some bartending and impromptu interviews, following the tour like the golf tragic I am. Foreshore. Grab me and my caddy Rangi a brew would ya? And some of those pork crisps bits. Keep you on we will.
So how has the golf been? Well my golf of late has been borderline rubbish. I have missed the past few cuts, but to be fair I'm not putting in any practice, so I deserve what I get. Rangi is not too happy, having given up his job on the farm to caddy for me, he wants to see some dividends you know. Some light at the end of the tunnel per se.
So with no practice how did you find this Irish number? The greens were faster than I thought, though the approach shots hold the green nicely. I surmised that ten under would be an achievable score if you can read the putts.
You smashed the course record? No. I parred the easy par 5 to begin. I was 4 under after nine and 8 under after 18, so even though I didn't shoot the number I wanted at least I didn't implode.
What's the plans for the rest of the tournament? Well I need to shoot pretty low and that's just to make the cut. Im not sure if the worlds finest are playing this week, Bironne, Sloan, Doyley ... the burglars, you know them? Yup they are probably on the practice range right now fine tuning, but that's what you need to do to be the best. Where's Andi anyhow? What time does karaoke start?

You back in already Acid? Why do you have your duffel bag? Well Dick, it appears I was right in regards what I needed to shoot.
What did you shoot for round two? I shot a nine under, which I was relatively happy about. So that's a two round total of 17 under. Not enough I don't think, so I've packed my bags and will await the final results from the comfort of this bar. Currently sitting 67th equal with about 8 players still to submit their playing cards.
Any highlights? I was still a bit tipsy, so my highlight was not being pulled over.
Plans? Pull up a pew and watch the 2nd cricket test match between NZ vs England. We lost the crucial day five last week, and we actually gave our Black Caps a chance to beat the English at their home, Lords. But alas, business as usual and we folded.
Good luck to you then, Im sure Andi and others will be in in their pressed whites to enjoy the coverage with. Yeah right mate. I'll need a few beers first though.

Just like to throw in, late on the piece, made the cut, 2nd-last (4th round capitulation) and NZ BEAT ENGLAND (to tie the series).
4.92 run rate in test cricket is to be applauded. NZ is setting the pace.
Thanks Andi for being my drinking buddy and a good sportsman
