Pub Crawl Week 2, Round 1: the return of everyone’s favorite idiot My Brew Crew/Beer Farts debut occurred on my long neglected PC pixel golf machine, complete with Level 21, HCP +4 pixel golfer, wearing donated clothing and what can only be described as a Toys-Backward R-Us set of child starter clubs. And it showed. Started out poorly with an opening humph on the very easy #1. Back and forth I went, trying hard to master the pro swing, and doing fairly well until I was actually on the greens, where my plastic PlaySkool putter left many a bird rather short, and turned more than a few of those chirps into Bogarts. Managed to make the turn at Even, but wasn’t thrilled about it. Suddenly, my breakfast of sauerkraut and radishes decided that my lower intestine was distended enough, and my “gas check valve” as released, leading to a most powerful and lingering poot. From the fumes arose the ghost of my old pal Marc with a C. “Cripes, boyo! Sauerkraut and radishes again?” What can I say? The Crew knows me well. Birdied #10 with Marc with a C’s ghost on hand, his presence supported only by continual flatulence. Maybe this was the turning point. At least the group behind us who was griping at me about slow play finally put some distance behind us. I wonder why? Let me linger in that for a moment. Not wanting to use up my limited fart material, I’ll fast forward to the part that Marc with a C is still pretty good, whereas I remain not so good. Did manage to finish below par, but left us a couple strokes off the pace set by Les and Leon. Broke the...ice (thought I was going to say something else, didn’t you?) with: Rd 1: -2 Missed both of Marc with a C’s opening eagles, which I bet were magnificent. Oh yeah, before I forget, I need to get in a one-cheek-sneak... SkyBlueBen

Pub Crawl Week 2, Round 2: the answer, my friend, is blow it out your... Guest starring the ghost of Art Vanderlay, which is nice, since he’s another of my team. Before I go on, I see two of my mates, Marc with a C and Art with a V, in the top 10 of the PC leaderboard. Was doing splendid (whilst Art was sublime) until the approach shot on #15, whose green is a lovely split level, and where I neglected to scout out the lay of the land. Needless to say, said approach caught just enough of the hill to render the birdie putt up the sheer cliff face, and about 65 feet away. Rescue teams were immediately dispatched. FOUR putts later, the round was ruined. What coulda been -6 or better turned into a rather pedestrian: Rd 2: -2 Disappointed, I was, Sir SkyBlueBen, but you’re all used to it by now. Time for some better balls.

Time for some better balls. To be fair you are playing a new difficulty level on a different system to what you are used to. I make the excuses so you don't have to..... At least your write up's are up to standard, the pixel golf will come in it's own good time. Onward Mark!!

SkyBlueBenR4 -7 I finally managed to have a half decent round where the glitches didn't kill my card and most of my confidence. I still had plenty of them but I managed to minimise their consequences.

Week 2 - OFTD
Good thing it's better ball cause mine were buttered. Need big boy clubs, and soon.
By the way, Skylar SkyBlueBen has gotten better since last we met. Watch out for this guy, folks...
