50/50 call. Tried to trick the Wordle “gods” by pretending to them (and to myself) that my third guess was the one I didn’t really think was the right answer such that it would turn out to be the right answer. Needless to say, the ruse was rumbled and, of course, it was not the right answer.
Things are different when you look at the back nine…
Hubes: 27, -9
mikethep: 31, -5 (yay me!)
Leedsboy: 33, -3
Steve W: 34, -2
Chiz, Diffug, Lodes: 35, -1 (this is where it all went wrong for Lodes)

I want to thank Radio 4 for all my starter words; particularly LATEX, GRILL and, best of all, IGLOO. Without you Radio 4, I might have been a contender but, let’s face it, who wants to be a contender when there’s a spoon made out of wood to be won …

Oh. Drop back to four under I think?
Apart from Hubert, who is ambling along somewhere between the 17th and 18th, that’s everybody back in the bar. Results soon!
My result is in at 23:28 ,I am much confuΓΔd
So it is! Please accept the scorer’s apologies.
So, we have a runaway winner! Congratulations to Hubes – and to everybody else, naturally.
Hubes: 62, -10
Leedsboy: 66, -6
Fortuneight, Max the Dog, Steve T, Steve W: 68, -4
Clive, Paul Houston, Chiz: 69, -3
mikethep: 70, -2
Diffug: 71, -1
Cheshire Cat, Black Celeb: 72, par
plumb 1909: 73, +1
Lodes: 74, +2
And the coveted wooden spoon goes to…
Jim: 75, +3
Bad luck Lodes!
Hard cheese Lodes.
You played poorly, you’re just not as abjectly shite as me.
Better luck next time.
(& thanks Mike for the maths and that).
Yes, thanks very much, Mike.
Congrats to Hubes and Jim.
Until next month…
Hewston, we have a problem…
Thanks Mike and well done, Hubes.
Thanks for keeping score, @mikethep. Excellent fun.
Hubes gets the green jacket. Onwards to the PGA Champs in May.
Things are different when you look at the back nine…
Hubes: 27, -9
mikethep: 31, -5 (yay me!)
Leedsboy: 33, -3

fortuneight, Max the dog, Steve T, Cheshire Cat: 36, par
Clive, Paul Hewston, Black Celeb, plumb1909, Jim: 37, +1
Are we saying Hubes got 9 birdies in a row? No wonder he’s retiring!
One par, 7 birdies and an eagle!
I think you should demand that he’s tested for performance enhancing drugs. Or at the very least share them out.
About to have a cup of tea and a biscuit or two, look what it did for The Rutles.
Happy enough to just keep my card for next month
Thank you all.
But like Kim Jon Un who on his first game of golf hit 11 holes in one, I shall retire from the course.
I’d no idea where in the ranking I was so it came as a great surprise particularly on a day I didn’t get 100% on Wordiply.
Congratulations Hubert and thank you @mikethep for a very well run, controversy-free tournament.
Not fair, want my spoon, want my spoon..
If you achieve par after 18 holes, you receive an Afterword spirit level.
I want to thank Radio 4 for all my starter words; particularly LATEX, GRILL and, best of all, IGLOO. Without you Radio 4, I might have been a contender but, let’s face it, who wants to be a contender when there’s a spoon made out of wood to be won …
Congratulations to Hubes. Some last nine. See you all next month.
Thanks to Mike for keeping score; in particular knowing mine better than I did.
And of course now I manage this
