evilgrin72 Johnny family trumps this game EVERY time. Sorry for your loss, be there for everyone there MOST importantly your wife. We will always be here for you mate. Thank you, my friend. While our pain is real, his is finally over. I think the family is all at peace with it. Doesn't make it any easier in the moment, but it will be all right in the long haul. My wife got to spend a lot of time with him the last couple of years as she's been living there and we've just been visiting one another periodically. It's been rough for sure, but hopefully the sacrifice was worth the peace she'll have that she wouldn't have otherwise.

SkyBlueBen First off, some sad news to report, my father-in-law passed away yesterday after a lengthy bout with cancer. My wife is already in Utah, where he lived, and I will be flying out there tomorrow afternoon. I honestly am unsure when I will be back. Pub Crawl first two rounds : R1 : -11 (60) R2 : - 6 (65) I will play my last two rounds and OFTR today, as well as my knockout round. IGolfBad - obviously, I won't be able to do a live match up for the Blue Hawaiian, which is a bummer, as I was looking forward to streaming with you again. I'll play my round today so you can pick up my ghost. I don't know yet what next week will bring, I may need a sub, I may be back in time to play my rounds before week's end. I'll check back in with Ben and my teammates next weekend when the timeline may be a bit clearer. So sorry to hear that Johnny. Sending my best to your wife, yourself and your family. I can easily get you covered next week so don't concern yourself with that. This is a time for family. Nothing else matters.

Also, to everyone here, the last few years, and in particular the last year, has been the most trying of my life. This society/game has been a great distraction and source of inner calm (as long as tempo cooperates 😂) for me, so thank you all for your continued friendship and camaraderie.
You're a great bunch of guys (and one terrific gal)...

There's a chance I may be back to play next week, it just might be after Wednesday. No way to know at the moment, I don't even know when the funeral is yet, but I'll keep you apprised.

Johnny evilgrin72My deepest sympathies to you and Mrs. Onions, and her family. While I was also looking forward to another entertaining live tilt with you this week, real life is always more important than what we do here, and your presence is certainly needed where you will be. Take care of those closest to you and when the time comes, we will reconnect and bring mirth to this classless bunch of clowns and Carol. In the meantime, I wish for strength and peace for you and yours. Be well, my friend.

Sigh a minute - Round 2 So my daughter, somehow between playing Animal Crossing on her Switch while watching a stream on her laptop of someone playing Mine Craft and listening to a horror story podcast on her cell phone all at the same time, picked up on the conversation between the wife and myself earlier. You should get a plant in your games room she said. If you keep on sucking in all the oxygen every minute, then you will eventually become drowsy leading to more sighing and even less oxygen. Death spiral. With a plant there to offset, maybe both of you can prosper. (i just knew investing in uncapped fiber would eventually pay off) Good thing I play fairly quickly SkyBlueBen - round 2

Sickly prickly - Round 3 Off to the shops to buy me a companion the two women in my life went. Leaving me all alone in the quiet house playing my 3rd round, now being all the more aware of trying not to sigh. Blueish tint started to get alarmingly darker, but thankfully the happy pair came back barely 18 minutes later - just in time to see me come up disappointingly short on my 3rd out of the bunker on 18th, carrying a green tooth-pick holder with them. I never eat in front of my pc, i grumbled. It's a cute little cactus, Silly! they soothed. You don't even have to water it. I'll put down right next to the center speaker on the upper shelf. Eyeing that thing suspiciously thinking if it was to topple over... Shifted my gaze to the screen, took my putt and dropped the 17 footer for bird. Hmmm, maybe we can be friends. No high fives though. SkyBlueBen

Breaking bullshit - 4th round Piping Pink Floyd's The Final Cut through my tiny pc speakers i attempted the last round. Poor old Cactus continuously vibrating and wobbling towards the edge of the shelf, being saved in between sighs time and time again from dropping into the abyss by yours truly. Some would say it was more in self preservation, i'd like to claim it was 'cos i'm a nice guy. Eventually i traded Cactus in for the mother of all Venus fly traps. Going to groom it. Wait until it is all grown up, very hungry and angry as a dictator without a country. Then I'll feed it my controller. And the game where's the f'king bar, John?SkyBlueBen

IGolfBadWow, did I make a spectacular mess of the knockout round. Don't take a lot of chances - I gave you tons of opportunities to take holes with birdies and pars. My tempo was disastrous all round long, I don't think I hit more than a handful of perfect shots. Fast-slow-fast-slow. Couldn't make any putts either - a problem exacerbated by the massive thunderstorm blowing through here right now. Without the distance meter, I rely on hearing (not feeling) the haptic feedback in the controller to putt. With the thunder and the rain pounding off the skylight, I could barely hear myself cursing at the screen, let alone the rumble of the dualshock. You'll see some missed putts you won't believe, I assure you. This was maybe rhw worst round I've played soup to nuts in the last few months.
