HOLY GRAIL round 4 In my singles match against digsb I started okay and then on hole 7 I suddenly found myself here: The barbarians said I could play it, and so did Kevin and Sam, so I played it. Turned out I was, in fact, in the water and all that happened was a big 💦 Had to drop and walked towards the next hole with a double bogey on my mind and Art, Mark and Greg shouting “close the gates!!!” The rest of the round was very confusing because suddenly a group of Brazilians appeared. They kept trying to convince me to dance the lambada, while my fellow-Romans kept shouting that I should focus and some barbarians kept putting the pins in different spots while I was already in the backswing of my approach shots. This is the result: That concludes my week: Sorry, fellow-Romans; I think it’s safe to say the gates are now open and we’ll have to fight them barbarians and Spanish dudes and Knighty Knights in Rome itself in a do-or-die Twitfest to get us across the line in the end.

The barbarians then stopped and scratched their hairy backsides. Their blunted 3 iron broadsword was sharpened and shined, ready for a tiny bit of raping and a tad of pillaging on the way to the first tee.
round 1 holy grail
Digs b, the son of Thunderick The incontinent, brother/uncle of Twerkerina the slagbag retrieved his clubs from the swamps of hole 15 and gave up on the unsuccessful raping and pillaging route and chose a vocational night college course to learn the subtleties of aerodynamics of a golf club as an assault weapon. This became an issue between holes 16 & 17 as 135 members of the crowd,where brutally executed in some say was the largest “playground paddy” they have ever witnessed.
round 2 holy grail ( -4)
(My apologies as this has absolutely no context to the monty python oeuvre but it gave me chance to write oeuvre).

I'll let Digs be the funny man and I'll be his straight man. To be fair, those people he slayed with his 4 iron in a giant rage are the same ones I was hugging and kissing on my way through, skipping gayly through the shrubberies, and I'm one shot behind him! I did see one man with a 4 iron sized dent in his head claiming it was only a flesh wound. Standards. Mine are low. If only I didn't piss shots away with the putter I might get somewhere. A horrible 3-putt from 8 feet for a double in the first round, probably 4 or 5 other short range putts pushed or pulled past the hole, so frustrating! But, kept it together, overall didn't play too bad at all and made a few things happen here and there. So close to my first hole in one in this game, lipping out on the 2nd in round 2. I'll take a tap in bird any day. To be honest I'll take any bird, but that's a different story. A pair of -4 66's to begin my quest for the holy grail. I've only gone and made a cut

Lumberjack Week 6 As usual, wasted way too many shots. Still ended up with a decent score, but but sure would like to eliminate some of those mistakes.

Quest For the Holy Greyl Gardens or Just Give In and Let the Barbarians Take Control Already - Round 2 Knowing I was no match for our mysterious newcomers, I threw Frambes to the wolves and tried to stay a few steps ahead of the invading horde. 12 straight pars to open (including one that is the 60° incline [Fahrenheit, not Celsius] 9th green) more or less sealed our fate, so a side quest appeared, in which I tried to make the cut on a course that was less than friendly. Well, about that time, the Barbarians caught up and their women had their way with me on the 13th green. Many times. Seven, in fact, where my...um...”putter” failed me on the way to only needing 5 strokes before finishing. To those who have trouble reading between the lines, that was on in regulation, but 5 putts to treble bogey. Shut up. 14 was a bit better, but still a bogey, giving me +4 after and things looking grim for the cut quest, even in the loft reaches of K. But the story has a happy-ish ending, wherein my putter started working once more, and I finally tasted feathers on the last two holes to finish: Rd 2: +2 Former Dirtbag and current neo-Dirtbag Spenny was along for the ride since Johnny Cherries abandoned his post. Going to Lumberjack it blind before I run out of time. See you there! P.S. as it turns out, at the time of this post, the cut in CC-K (Cuckoo) is +6, so I’m golden, sitting at +3 and 57th out of 140. Hooray for mediocrity!

Jackin’ Lumbar - seriously, I threw my back out during this round. Learned that Bill is really good, and rarely sees a putt he doesn’t like. I’ll probably ruin his team someday up the road. Way past this goofer’s bedtime, so here’s the damage. Should have practiced I suppose.

Holy Grail Round 3 +3I went through the front 9 picking up 1 birdie and 3 bogeys, 2 of the bogies and the birdie came on the par 3's. I started the back 9 with a bogey and did manage to avoid par on 4 of the last 6 holes, but they may as well been pars because it was 2 birdies and 2 bogies. SkyBlueBen will be happy to know my erratic playing handed him and his team the points.
