Sometimes you just know that you really should not have played tonight...
Yep, I decided to play event 2 after the disaster in round 4 of event 1.
-9 & -4
Now, that second round would make a good Monty Python sketch!!! 😂😂😂😂

Round 3 -9
Well that was a round of two halves, on the front 9 I was -2 thanks to 2 birdies on the 3rd and 4th holes. Going onto the tee at 14th I was -6 as I dropped 4 birdies in a row, then another 3 on the 15th, 17th and 18th.
I was tempted to reply to the YNWA video earlier on but didn't want to take up pages with a football chant fight 😂.

Greg.....Element 2 (Individuals) @ Klopster's Dam Fine Fantasy Course.  I'm playing so badly at the moment I cannot enjoy these great courses but I have to say Riotous ... Dam isn't a patch on Pocket (see what I did there?)...

Team round 2 Back to earth - approaches and putting took a walk and the lack of wind made me uneasy. On top of that, needed -14 to pull it out for the team. History shows that... oh who am I fooling... -5   Just because |

Week 2 - Individual Event - Old Olkham VillageDearest Dead Parrots fear not, for there is quality golf course design on the horizon. The rough seas of Klopp's Dam are now behind (most of) us, second rate planting and Kindergarten sculpting will be distant memories by the time your tee peg is firmly inserted in to the lush turf of Old Olkham Village. The course was created by not just one of the best designers in TGC Tours but by two of them, combining their skills and ideas to deliver us a very realistic, very very playable track that offers low scores to both Pro and Master Club users if you choose the correct angles to attack the pins. I'm sure that many of you have strode across these fairways before, but if not i hope you enjoy it

Round 4 at Amaroo :
Too little, too late? I finally got a handle on Amaroo Bay - whether it was the pin locations, the 144 greens, finally figuring out the altitude differences, I don't know - but it finally all clicked. 8 birdies on the front 9, the only par coming surprisingly at the relatively easy par 5 when the birdie putt stopped on the lip. Back 9 was tougher, but I was pretty locked in with the irons, the putter just went cold. 4 pars and 4 birdies on 10-17, but all the pars were near misses with the putter leading to < 12 inch tap-in pars. An eagle at the last finished the round at....
R4 : -14 (58) - Sorry IGolfBad , for picking our singles match to finally put it together on this track. I think I was playing too tentatively the first three rounds, this was a real grip-it-and-rip-it round where I attacked every pin and it panned out nicely.
Round 2 at Klopp's Dam :
Standing on the first tee knowing I needed a -11 to tie Marc and Sam or a -12 to pass them was a bit daunting, this is not an easy course and some of the scores I'd seen from top players going in led me to believe this would be a Herculean task. Played well on the front 9, but some of the pins were set where it was nearly impossible to get close. A few long birdie putts once again just missed, but I picked my spots to go flag-hunting and turned at -5. In the mix, as they say.
The came the par 5 10th. Perfect drive and decided to go for the difficult pin in 2, feeling I needed an eagle to make a serious run at the top. I tried to get super-cute with the approach, landing it in the tiny patch of rough between the trap and the green and bounce it on and came up just short, landing in the sand. No big deal, chip on, easy birdie. The chip came up 7 feet short, and the ensuing putt had a wicked break on it - this was one to contemplate. Lined it up, and started the short backswing...
This exact moment was the one my darling wife, love of my life, yin to my yang, chose to fire up the industrial-strength blender to make her revolting banana/strawberry/spinach smoothie for the following morning. The instant and unexpected cacophony (the noise this thing makes rivals a jet engine) startled the hell out of me and I hit the putt too hard. It ricocheted off the edge of the cup and, with a sling-shot effect, rolled away from the hole, leaving a hard-breaking 14 footer for par. She could muster only a meek "sorry....." as I glared at her with visions of Launcelot making mince-meat of the wedding guests flashing through my mind. Predictably, the par putt stopped on the lip and I took a bogey 6 after three-putting from 7 feet. At that point, I knew precisely what my final round score would be.
Sure enough, 5 birdies in the next 7 holes with two putts that tickled the edge left me at -9 going to the 18th. The eagle chip rolled about 1/2" left of the cup and didn't catch the pin. Tap-in birdie and a round of..
R2 : -10 (62) to finish at -19 for the week, one shot off the pace. That birdie putt on 10 goes in and I'm at -21 and a shot clear.
Being from NJ, I know how to dispose of a body. It's only about 5' 4" and 100 pounds, anyone got a hacksaw and some lime?

£61!! Is that the deluxe version with the down wiv the kidz gear? Yup! Deluxe version they call it. PC Deluxe version in UK is £60 Pete so your price is standard. Will have to have a look how much PS4 version is. Edit. PS4 version is £60 also. |
