A comedy of errors in the 5th minute for the Azzurri as two defenders and the keeper collide in midair while going after a corner. The three defenders spent a moment writhing in pain on the ground, leaving a wide open goal mouth begging for an Aston Villa finish.
The Italians recovered admirably after that point, playing precision soccer. But will it be enough to mask the indignity on the early blunder.
(Sent three balls into the drink off the 5th tee, took a 10 on the card. Birdied the next 5 holes.)
((R1: 69))

I reckon that Art Vandelay has already been to Herne Bay, maybe in a past life as it was originally known as Heron Bay and it's quite often called Hernia Bay On to the match. Herne Bay had their chances, but kept muffing their shots on goal ( bogies cancelling out the birdies) -2 The catering staff didn't know what Simba chips were but after looking on the tinternet I told them to get some McCoys they look pretty much the same, Man's crisps |

Uninspired play from the Italian side as they seem content to fall back to the well-worn trope of putting 15 men behind the ball and banking on their lead at the top of the group to hold up regardless of the outcome. The lead is not insurmountable, however, so here's hoping this doesn't come back to bite them in the butt.
(Only one tee shot in the water on 5, so that's an improvement, right? And yet somehow the round was worse? Blergh.)
((R2: 70))

City currently wanting the match abandoned for a waterlogged pitch. 10 minutes in to the game and have already missed the cut. +9 at the turn in round one, stopped play in protest. Some head wobbling going on, will soldier on.

Some head wobbling going on, will soldier on. I am so with you on this Jamie. I'm currently in splendid isolation after my positive Covid test. It appears that somehow I have contracted the HB strain of the virus. No temperature, no loss of taste, no new hacking cough. For me the main effects of the virus seem to be loss of fine motor skills in my right thumb. I am snap-hooking putts (one of the response lines on a 6ft effort looked like Zorro had left his calling card) almost all other shots seem to be long and left. Round 2 was bogey-birdie-bogey-birdie, a shed load of scrambled pars, couple more bogies then a slight rally to finish -1 on a 70. The cut line doesn't even show up on the long range scanners. At least it wasn't as bad as my Hell round of +18 in one of the other things I play. |

Glad to hear you have the mild symptoms Greg. My wife had it a couple of months ago, her only symptom was loss of taste and smell. To be honest I could see advantages with that... I never had any symptoms at all and I can't see any way I wouldn't have caught it. It's a strange thing, for some to have it so mildly and others to be in hospital on ventilators.
Anyway, I actually got up to +11 in round 1 before a hole in one on 14. This game!!! I can't really do football analogies to this one, too pissed off!
79 and 71 to start off with.

2nd Round E
Celtic started to pick up the pace a bit getting into good positions but it was their ball in the final third that let them down. Long range efforts by Christie and Turnbull offered them a bit of hope, but were undone just before halftime as a defensive mix up with Barkas and Ajer left Burton Albion with an open goal.
It looks as if they won't be in the draw when the teams go in the pot for the Covid Cup.

With a surprising 2-0 cushion and a belly full of Simba chips and Fanta, the Bucs came out sloggish and sluggish (round 3 even). Mid way thru the bench was emptied for some leaner, hungrier Pirates who want to show they are worth keep on the roster. The rest of the half was as different as night and day (round 4 -9).
Not calling this one yet as there were toys all over the pitch and yelping puppies could be heard.
Onward!

3rd Round -2
Celtic were tentative after the restart as when they went forward they left holes at the back to be exploited by Albion's counter attacks. They grew in confidence and were more efficient in cutting out the away teams goal threat and peppered the Brewers goal with Edouard looking most likely to score. But Albion held firm and started to ask questions of the Celtic defence in the 65 minute.
Can Celtic snatch a goal to set up an intriguing finish to the game?
