We are at the halfway point of the 2026 season, and the start game is #1808.
All Afterworders are most welcome, as it would be really good to see somebody new, challenge for a spot on the podium.
Best of luck everybody and we will see you on the fairway.

    We have two players Craig42Blue & Soundhound who appear to be missing, presumably somewhere in the rough. Hopefully they will re-appear at some point and we can buy them a beer in the clubhouse.

    A groovy 4, bot reckons my skill factor was 98, AI is a knob. Some of you guys above must have a skill factor of 150+

    🐞

      • I agree Carl, but yesterday I solved Wordle in 3 with only one known letter ‘E’ and the only vowel left was ‘U’ so i thought Q U E and QUELL came right away, Wordle solved in less than a minute. Skill rating for that line 50%.

        AI cannot factor in human logic that’s why it’s gonna feck us up.

  33. Back to +8 I think. This round is torture.

    Nice!
    -3 now I think, tying with Junior.
    Is there a tie at the top now as well, with Mike’s birdie?
    Much more exciting than the footie.

    • Afternoon Craig
      I haven’t got a score from you for yesterday #1824 so I’m putting you down for a par on that one.
      If you had an eagle or a birdie, then just holler 👍

  98. I thought I had notified of my result but here it is. Last round? Why not pencil in a bogey with a schoolboy howler to boot.
    Make mine a triple.

    • thank you Mr Scorer. I am just going to ignore any references to inverting the ladder and pat myself on the back for a great effort and well done BC !

      As for Thep, Pyramid and Badartpooch better luck next tournament.

  109. Naturally, now the tournament is over, I can beat the bot, even though we both used the same first two words
