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! 

Brilliant Digs. Hopefully i get a mention next week. 🤞🤞

I have made the BoB Mediocrity Watch!!!!

Brings tears to my eyes how far I have come. I didn’t think 3 straight missed cuts was enough to make the list, but there I be!

LOL!

Thanks for the write up! Looking forward to making the list again and again and again!

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.

Right, imagine if somebody won true sim on Xbox with a stock controller 😉

Check out a recently published course by BoB member vegas310 .  Conkies Hollow, a real good test. Set on slick 186 greens. So Gary, you may want slow em down a bit.  I will be leading The Big Money's new season with it starting tonight.

Thx Rob, funny thing. My tempo fell off Saturday and Sunday. I played Chiefs tourney and was feeling lousy. Took a few holes of bad tempo but finished well. So, I jumped to Elite and played pretty good. Putting is the key. 

[ARH Semsi]

So that's what I need to do to get noticed. Play like crap. Got it.

Cheers digsb

Im not sure who was talking to me about xbox graphics slowing your swing down earlier? Well even with the optimized game it still does not work all the time. Another missed cut in CC due to TOO MANY OBJECTS. There were objects failing to load in time during swings, ball landing and in scout cam also. I knew I would have around a +4 at the cut and miss it before I started the tourney just from the course preview screen shots. I was unable to get a good tempo at any time. This is with the optimized version of the game on performance settings. This course also has a fog/haze filter that makes the graphics load even worse.

[meunier33]

Stats seem to back me up, the highest xbox score for the round one in CCJ is -6 and only 10 players including myself have teed off by 18:00 GMT
