  2. The state of play after the 15th hole in ascending order:

    Loadstone seems intent in joining Bozo and Junior in providing lodgings for Spoonie in August.

    Bozo +7
    Junior Wells +5
    Loadstone of Wrongness +3
    Jim +2
    Max the Dog. +1
    Black Celebration -1
    plumb1909 -2
    Bamber -3
    fortuneight -4
    Mikethep -5
    SteveT -6
    Clive -7
    Pencilsqueezer -8
    Carl -8
    Pyramid -9
    badartdog -9
    Leedsboy -10

    Where do you place the cut-off line for the battle for the leader? You don’t when considering Leedsboy has attained. -5 over the last 3 holes, I think congratulations are in order. Considering Leadsboys’s feat anything is possible over the last 3 holes. Onwards and Upwards we go!

    This word I was familiar with. When I was young an uncle of mine would read those cheap paperback westerns so I’m sure this word showed up in a few titles.

  17. Had two large cervezas sat by the port in Sóller before my fourth go. I am an idiot (albeit with a nice beer buzz).

    +1. -9.

    Edit: PANIC, PANIC PANIC I lost all the tallied up info for 5 minutes and somehow recovered it, phew!

  35. For a laugh, I used Spoonie on the green instead of a putter. See you at the 19th for the handing over ceremony.

    Well played everyone.
    I’m off to watch Ireland beat the All Blacks.

  47. An appropriately lacklustre finish to the worst round ever. By anyone?

  53. Here are the final results for the July Wordle Tourney.

    Despite some jostling for the honour of putting Spoonie up for the month of August @Bozo was determined to make the honour all his own, congratulations Bozo:

    Bozo +9

    Junior Wells +4

    Loadstone of Wrongness. +3

    Max the Dog +2

    Jim, plumb1909 +1

    Black Celebration -1

    Bamber -3

    fortuneight, Mikethep -4

    Clive -7

    SteveT -8

    Next follows probably the closest finish yet:

    Carl -9

    Pyramid, Leedsboy, pencilsqueezer -10

    And out in front:

    badartdog -11

    Congratulations to Bozo who will no doubt provide a welcome to Spoonie in August.

    Let’s not forget the excellent badartdog out in front on 11 under.

    However let’s never underestimate the contribution of all who took part in this fantastic July Edition.

    Now then who’s volunteering to host the August Edition.

    • I am regretting those two beers on day 16 though.

      Congratulations to BAD. It’s an honour to be joint second with Pyramid and the excellent Pencilsqueezer.

      Well played everyone.

    • Thanks @pyramid for running things so well and congats to @badartdog and @Bozo. Spoonie spent the entire month round mine watching the football. Although he’s more into the domestic scene. The team he follows is Teaspoons FC – he’s hoping they’ll do well in the cup next season.

      • I think there may have been more emphatic conquests @Bozo although I doubt they were achieved with greater pizzazz than yourself.

        I’ll feel much better when I see the consultant in around 10 days and he confirms they got all the malignant shyte out thanks for enquiring and may your putts be puttable.

  56. Thanks to Pyramid for officiating, and well done to all the high fliers. I found this month a real struggle sometimes, especially with words unknown to me, like PSHAW for instance. Oh well, look forward to August and wonder if we’ll have any rain by then, as the fairway is going a bit brown.

  57. Thanks Giza for officiating and well done everyone! I thought I was in with a shout in the first half, but it all went to pot in the back 9 – even though I got PSHAW in 3.

    You say, “Stop” and I say, “Go, go, go”

  94. A similar story. Limbering up nicely for spoon retention.
