Acid mate, over here! Hey Dick. What's wrong with ole Bob over there?
Andi gave him some tissues and told him to grow a pair. Blimey! Andi must have had a bad week over the lake, no karoke in the States?
It appears that know one knows how to party like the Europeans do. Ole to that
So it appears that you have made two cuts in a row! The money must be rolling in eh? No more free drinks. Well I have made three cuts and all my cheques are around three thousand and change. My cousin and caddy Rangi is thinking about going home to work on the farm, he reckons he could make more money, drink more grog and get more action in the shearing sheds back home, which I don't doubt. They work hard and party harder those lads, and after the sheep are shorn they do look quite attractive after a crate. So I really need to step up my golf game and play less FTL on my laptop.
How is that going this week? FTL? I finally beat the boss ship after twenty hours of solid play over five days.... I was the BOSS!! on Easy mind you
No,I meant how was the golf going... Oh right, I shot a solid seven under today, managed to birdy the first. Those greens are playing tough, you don't want to leave a two footer on these slopes. You can easily turn a regulation birdy into a bogey. You really need to concentrate out here. I need to find my swing and try and make some serious coin to sustain our errr habits. Speaking of which....
No, I don't have any more. Maybe you should go see Tom!

/Blaylock strolls on past the reporters carrying McFlinn's bag acting like he is his caddy, all a bit while whistling "whistle while you work" at a rather low tune.

Ah, so you finally found the correct press tent then?
I guess so yeah. I think I'm still a little concussed from getting whacked upside the head with a putter last week. I think I'll just post the same message as I did in the other tent if you don't mind, I need to lie down. Hi Brad, welcome back to the European Tour, a respectable equal 12th finish in the WGC but a very slow start here, you looked liked you had some issues in round one, what happened?Thanks. I was hoping for a top ten in my first WGC, but had a lot of problems over there and the course just didn't fit my eye. The course this week I do really like and was expecting to go well here, but I had a couple of incidents outside of my control that cost me at least 3 shots possibly more? I got an unfortunate bounce of the pin with a flop shot on the 13th which could have easily gone in for eagle, but I ended up with par. Then on 16 I got a questionable contact, which resulted in a double bogie, where the worst I would have scored would have been par if the contact was as it should have been and maybe birdie if my calculations were correct? A couple of tough breaks there, do you think you still have a chance of winning? Unfortunately the way the scoring is in these tournaments, one bad round and your basically finished. To shoot 65 after being -8 through 12 is disappointing to say the least. I'll give it my best and hope that the golfing gods don't conspire against me in my other rounds, I'll hope to get a top 5 by the end of the tournament if I can lift my game in the final three rounds. Good luck in the rest of the tournament.Thanks.

You can use mine mate. Thanks Dick.
Here, take a six pack as well, get the hair of the dog in ya! Now bloody hurry up, you have a bar tab to pay off.

/Reporter Jessica strolls out of the press tent with what appears to be glazed doughnut glaze all over her face, and she is carrying McFlinn's golf bag.....she starts walking to the parking lot.....
Meanwhile, just a few minutes later,....Mr. Blaylock pops out of the press tent, emoting the wiping hands clean gesture, with a big grin on his face...
Reporter Bob stops him.....
Mr. Blaylock, was that McFlinn's golf bag? I have no idea what you are talking about Bob.
But, But..... Bob, take one for the team, take one for the team.
/Blaylock does a cartwheel into the practice bunker, lays down, and starts making a sand castle.....
Blaylock was -10 in his second round with a 62.

Oh no. It appears that Acid Flashback is walking... no make that waddling at pace... down the 18th and is making a direct approach to the sand bunker on the practice green. Jessica, what the heck are you doing to Acid's putter? What are you doing with his clubs? What, where, who? Wow. What's the question again Bob? These mushroom shaped gumdrops are quite lovely.
Oi don't eat too many of those! OooooOoOoooo. Did Acid just drop an elbow on Blaylocks castle? O man this could get messy. I like sand castles. I like to think I'm a princess and this is my wand *waves Acids putter around recklessly*
Watch out Jessica, you might break our plastic chairs. Here go give Acid this gumdrop bear, courtesy of Crazybird. Should get him focusing on what is important.

Acid Flashback, can you please explain yourself? I don't know what came over me. I was still drunk when you woke me and the golf was a blur. The red mist threatened to overwhelm me when I heard that Blaylock had made off with me sticks.
Red mist? Is that the haze over your eyeballs from the Bloody Marys mate! I mean you were hitting those hard all last night. Bloody Marys topped up with Jaegermesiter and a dash of Purple Death... ewwww.. No the red mist was the madness that was rising in me from Blaylocks indescretions.
So tell us all, well just me really, then I'll tell everyone else cause that's what barmen do.... what happened at the practice bunker? Well, I saw TasteGW wander off towards the bunker, so I started off sprinting...
... Waddling. My sources say you were waddling. Whatever, I was rushing over to confront him. I was pretty worked up, so I had your 4-iron raised, and bloody hell mate, you know what happened?
Do tell. Blaylock was making a sandcastle and giggling like a little kid, this stupid ass smile plastered all over his face, little gumdrop bears littering the bunker. He looked so vulnerable curled up in the fetal position, dribbling, singing to himself.
So you dropped an elbow onto his castle! You bully! No, I fell onto his sand castle from laughing too much. Then the princess came over with my putter. So I stuck my putter up Tastes arse, grabbed a handful of gumdrop bears and me and The Princess are heading to my "castle" to play find the wand.
You lucky, lucky bastard. By the way, how did my clubs go? Great thanks... I might just keep them! Cheers. Shot one better than yesterday so should make the cut. And with my stocks on the up and a handful of gummy bears there be promise yet. By the way, you can have my putter.

Brionne walks briskly into the press tent, looking over his shoulder with a concerned look...Brionne?.. Is something wrong?Hey Bob.. Yeah.. I'm not sure... I think I just saw Acid molest Blaylock with his putter yelling.. 'GET IN THE HOLE!'.. He should've used the 4 iron...What? Nothing.. Nevermind.. So... How were your rounds today?Okaaaayy... Rounds were solid.. Shot back to back 63s that I'm very, very happy about, especially since they included 3 bogeys and 2 double bogeys.. My approach play was all over the place, but my putting.. oh man I was on fire. Hopefully I can put everything together in the last two rounds and finish well. Andi, Chris, Bradely, Nathan and Gary are all way ahead of you at the moment.. Think you can close the gap?I don't know Bob.. Oh.. wait .... I see what you did there.. you picked out the English guys.. Nice.. Well, If they're anything like there cricketing counterparts.. Then yes!.. So we're back in your hometown.. Party at your place this week?Yes there will be.. but... this time.. there is no karaoke.. You cannot unhear that sh!t and I'm not sure I wanna hear Tom Humprhies singing 'we are the champions' over and over again.. and Bob,.. you are invited.. Just no sobbing okay? Otherwise I'm calling Acid and Blaylock to beat you like an English cricket team... with a 4 iron.. Awesome.. I'll be in my Sunday bestNo.. no.. No Sunday best.. This is Africa mate and hot as hell.. We're having a pool party.. So bring your water wings. See you laterCheers Bob!

Andi Smith toddles in, HI ANDI YOU OK?Hi Bob can I borrow one of your tissues please, acids putting has just bought a tear to my eye, lol. YEAH, HERE YOU GO.Thanks Bob. HOW WAS YOUR SECOND ROUND, SITTING NICELY IN SECOND I SEE?Yes at present I am Bob, left a couple of shots out there today, I did not putt as well in this round as I did in the first, but a nice 63 -9, keeps me in the hunt, so not to much damage done. TOUGH LEADERBOARD, CAN YOU PUSH ON AND TAKE THE TROPHEY?Well I would be daft not to say I have a chance but it will be a hard task with the players grouping in the top 10, but I can only play and see what the outcome will be. BRIONNE IS HOLDING A POOL PARTY, WILL YOU BE ATTENDING?Of course I will Bob what a silly question, only downside is I cannot swim so im off after this interview for some budgie smugglers and arm bands , but I think we should get a great big sand pitt and have a sand castle competition that could be fun , hey maybe you can be judge . I'm also going to bring some cricket stumps and challenge Brionne to a bowling contest. YEAH, YEAH I COULD THAT WOULD BE SO COOL, MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL?Bob you certainly are special there is no other like you , now im going shopping, and you behave yourself at the party Bob we don't want you making a fool of yourself. *enthusiastically* OK ANDI I WONT I PROMISE, I CANT WAIT, SEE YOU THERE.

Tied for 2nd place after two gutsy rounds of 61, Tom Morgan:
Some gritty golf out there, Tom. You really battled through some tough conditions.
Gutsy is right, Bob. The winds were howling for both rounds to the tune of 8-15mph, skewed mostly to the high side. Some really challenging greens out there - affects both approach and putting - heck, even pitches and chips. Two great rounds - GREAT considering the conditions. Took a bogey on 3 in R1, and settled for pars on two par 5's in R2 and STILL lit it up. Stoked for the weekend. Just need to focus and stay calm over the ball.
So, greens and winds weren't the only thing you had to deal with...
Yeeeaaahhh..... I stopped by the can at the turn in R2 and walked in on this hippy-looking dude and guy who looked a lot like Blaylock from the PGA Tour. They were........it was.....um....let's just say there are some things you can't UN-see.
Ewww..That sounds brutal. Moving on, are you headed to the range?
Nah. Headed to the Brix estate. Heard there was a b%&in' pool party.
Well then, good luck this weekend. And thanks for letting me back in the press tent.
Thanks, Bob. Hope my "associates" didn't work you over too hard.
