Just coming out of winter on my side of the pond a croc was woken from his blissful slumber by a huge splash as some kraken thingy decided to take up residence in the pool. Disapprovingly glared at this overweight octopus ordering Duff's by the eights. That is just not on mate, someone's gotta go. Hit the course early, wowzer, had some really good tempo in general, so much so that I took advantage and finished all 4 rounds back to back. Round 1, opened with 7 birds on the trot, petered off a bit when I could only par the reachable par 5 8th and a final push to close out with -13, recovered a few beers Round 2, picked up my only very slow swing of the entire tourney on the 4th, ball splashed in the water, double, ouch. Kraken was huffin and puffin and threatening to ink up the entire pool. Came the 13th and a fast downswing had me in trouble and momentum was clearly with kraken. Back against the wall, the crocster came out fighting Fast finish to close -10 Round 3 - kraken did not want to give up the fight, sprayed my putter with gooey ink, held on manfully for another -10 Round 4 - as I stepped out onto the 1st tee I asked Ms Pond '17, '18 and '19 what she wanted to eat with her Duff tonight. Calamari she purred Opened with another 7 birds on the trot, came the par 5 8th, facing the same hole that Kraken used to bring my birdie trot to a screeching halt in round 1, this time round I countered with an eagle. And just to rub it in the kraken was well and truly sliced, diced and battered into neat rings by the 12th... Finished up with something ridiculous like -16 (55). 49 under for the weekend. Supper time! ………………………………... Very nice course this week again! Good luck everyone, hopefully will be seeing all again next season. PS... fransslabak - you'll be safe provided that -9 is your worst round of the week! Nah, good luck mate, rooting for ya Bloody hell Croc man, that's some Kraken scoring for 4 rounds. Well played

The first round wasn’t my best but also not my worst...
Ended with -9, -7, -10, -6 for -32
Please let that be enough to keep me in CC-A...

Wow, -10 thru first 11 holes and only managed 2 birdies on the way in.
The most disappointing 12-under I’ve ever shot haha

13 under for the event.... So frustrating on one of the best courses in the game. -7, -2, +2 & -6 A single strike relegates me to CC-B for the new season. Started out with pro clubs & switched to the Master set to combat the split fairway distances. Bad mistake & like an idiot forgot to switch back before teeing off on the 3rd round. Reduced distance over tempo issues every time, all day, every day in the future. Enjoyed my stay here & the good banter... Good luck next season guys.......

I feel your pain SAM I beat you by one 😜 I will be getting relegated down to CC-C had so many tempo issues and actually had two balls in the fairway that came up with a heavy rough lie one of them meant I couldn’t reach the green.

I am presuming that strikes will get wiped for the new season ?
I'm sitting on 4 so I guess it would be daft to even play this week

It's official.............I’m down to C now SAM looks like we will have to wait until next seasons promo events to move back up again. I just hit a bad run at the wrong time of the season picked my five demotion marks up in the last three events, in one of them I didn’t score that bad but still picked up a demo mark.
