The painfully long read and not requested by anyone. I am not very proud to present the… BoB Mediocrity Watch. A celebration of all things xbox that we are used too, you know missed cuts, long rides on the par train (TOOT! TOOT!) and relegation marks (Doyley Kisses). We are not used to god forbid Winning. So on with the hum drum. PLATINUM - some Xbox chaps were close to winning something - who cares BORING. NEXT! ELITE - The Ryder cups Swedish poster boy r0nrun Started out shooting a blistering 58 in the first round including just 22 putts. He then opens his account for the first nomination for the STB award (s**t the bed) A second round 73 including 31 putts, the longest being just 7.6feet. Ironically this is the average distance everyone in the world is at anytime from an IKEA product…spooky. Lord Smijti of Europe was carried to the first tee by his gleeful entourage. All was going swell including a chip in eagle at hole 5. The second round was largely uneventful and led to the missed cut. The two bogeys in the last three holes were the kicker but hey ho the lord will be back. Propping up the whole shenanigans was digsb who started his round with a 3 putt and and ended with two four putts No STB award nomination, as no bed was made to begin with. KINETIC - An honorary mention to grimbo who made the cut, so wouldn’t normally be mentioned in these dispatches but he sent me £20 so i feel obliged to note his 29 putts in round four, the longest being just 10.7feet. No nomination for the STB but thanks for the cash. Everyone else either won or was close to winning BORING! CC-A - Another Ryder cup legend xcltaff1980 missed the cut. Two bogeys in the last three holes of round one was disappointing but a rejuvenated Taff started round two on fire. Seven birdies in the first nine holes must of raised expectations. Wait a minute…What’s that noise TOOT! TOOT! A ride on the par train only interrupted by a bogey ended a disappointing week. lessangster didn’t pay me enough to be mentioned this week. He missed by a shot or two. Had a few bad putts blah blah blah. CC-B - liebs44 and Koop just missed the cut. Nothing else. CC-C rhino4life had the victory speech written after an eagle, birdie start to round two.His thoughts turned to how he would spend the winners cheque, as he boarded the par train on hole three. Two birdies at holes 8 and 10 gave a brief respite…then TICKETS PLEASE! Until hole 15. ARH Semsi was commiserating with Dave at the bar, as he scored 12 under too. Only 1 bogey was solid shooting and both shot too well to be rightfully mentioned here. CC-E - Wily wizzfox shot a great first round, including two chips ins and only 22 putts. The second round never got going and a longest putt of 11.8 feet meant the flat stick never heated up. CC-G - sanchez was scarily consistent over two rounds… 28 putts on both rounds. 2 bunkers hit on both rounds. A GIR of 66.7% ON BOTH ROUNDS. His longest drive was 339.4 yards ON BOTH F**KING ROUNDS!!!…This guy is a F-ing MACHINE… a machine that needs a tune up but a MF MACHINE!! Rumours on tour is that he is married to twins. CC-H - xclgizman08 shot a phenomenal 59 on round one, ending with a chip in eagle, a birdie and only 18 putts. He was on fire. Undaunted he stood on the 1st tee of round two and surveyed all around him. He proceeded to claim a further 7 birdies in nine holes with only 8 putts…PHENOMENAL. The victory speech was being composed at the turn and thoughts of who was going to get the champagne soaking was at the forefront of his decision making as he …BOARDED THE PAR TRAIN TOOT! TOOT!. Two birdies and 14 putts later, he must of still been happy. Round 3 began in desperation, as he realised he had left his trusty putter in the local Travelodge. The ever resourceful Yorkshireman managed to whittle a putter from a fallen branch. But it was too late by then… A S**t The Bed winning 1 over with a total of 55 putts in two rounds was enough to drop out of a assured top ten but accomplished enough to be crowned the inaugural winner of the BoB STB award. CONGRATULATIONS XCL GIZ I am sure “the natural one” will be back! After reading that report, it became abundantly clear that I would rather be on Jamie’s list🤣😂 Great write up digs, and when I do find myself on your report I’ll have a good laugh🤣😂👏👏 |

Another week of BOB players doing well on TGCTours, with 4 rounds posted by some and others still on the course, here's this week's BOBWatch. Platinum: Remember the days when it was just killahbeaz132 cutting a lonesome figure on the Premier tour, plugging away to all of our admiration? There are currently 9 Xbox players on the Platinum leaderboard and 6 of them are current BOB players (plus one lapsed). chalkey84 leads the way yet again, about to score his third top 10 of the last 5 weeks. He's going to be scrolling through the top 20 WGR banner on the main site soon at this rate. Elite: BillySastard976 in the top 10, owenayy Well placed for a run at it with 2 to play. At the very least he can earn a spot on the Platinum tour next week. Kinetic: Unlock that BOB trophy cabinet Dave and get that bubbly on ice! Demonondalinks currently 6 shots clear and the only 2 who can catch him both need a 55 in the final round to do so! I'm one of the players currently T2 6 shots back. We'll both be playing at Spyglass on the Elite tour next week. CCA: moneyman273 has a shot to make Kinetic next week with a good last 2 rounds. CCB: longpole T15 with a round still to play! Looking odds on for a promotion to CCA next week and got a chance of a win with a special round. Me, digsb and Chief (a different Chief, good luck to Barnsley on Monday Bill!) know all about Trevor Bleedin' Scott. Take the @!$#er down son! CCH: The other Chief, the BOBFather Chief Banks in 2nd place. CCI: thetaffman T2 and about to win promotion to CCH. Congrats to all for more stellar play and good luck to those with holes still to play. I'm packing my bags and moving to Europe, I heard it's a bit sh%$? #TeamXbox Currently T8, yet only showing me as one promotion mark earned potentially. Here's what I don't understand. It used to be that a final placement of 11-20 gets you one promotion mark, and a placement of 2-10 gets you two promotion marks. Last week I was T9 and only got one promotion mark (no demotion marks to remove) as well. Has anything changed with CC or tours in general? |

Class digs! No mention of true sim? Still waiting for someone to do the unthinkable on there.. 😜 Yeah, I mean imagine if someone actually won on TrueSim. We'd be getting the ticker tape parade ready for whoever managed that! Not going to happen, don't bother checking. Imagine if that ever happened… this place would light up. We probably celebrate for a year at least. We just have to stay humble for now and patiently wait. edit . Oh you said true sim.. what is that? Is it a tour like 3 click for the happy kids? |

moneyman273 Nothing has changed. It works on percentages, the top 15% get one promo mark and the top 7.5% get two. The fields are a little smaller currently so you've needed to be a little higher to get two. Top 15% next week and you'll be in Kinetic.
