As agreed and passed unopposed at the recent AGM, the New Rules are in force as from 01/08/26. I’m really looking forward to Frantic Friday (“Anyone who posts an eagle is automatically given a 32 stroke penalty”) and as for “Torrid Tuesday” (“Whoever is last shall be first”) – I simply can’t wait.
Best of luck, may the best man win …. as long as he was born in Aberdeen.
Is it August yet in NZ? If so, it’s Wordle time….

I haven’t been keeping track of scores but I suspect I’m one of the Spoonie contenders by now…
As long as you don’t tell anyone, I can reveal that, a mere 19 shots behind our leader, you are indeed last equal right now (although a clutch of no-hopers are stumbling over each other just behind you.)

Anyone out of 4 players could conceivably bag Spoonie tomorrow although barring disasters (more likely with this rather-less elite cadre) it’s a two- horse race
In 11th= place is none other than the Mighty Lodestone, 13 shots from the lead and 7 away from the bottom.

I’ll try once more: you have finished +3 and, as you say, spoon adjacent.
Damn your efficiency! I checked back and edited before your reply. Next month I’m going back to keep a running score on a spreadsheet!
Or you could be the scorer and persecute everybody else.
We accept your offer of scoring September, Mr Hound!

I’m currently lying under the shade of a tree, tasked with the onerous responsibility of looking after the neighbour’s swimming pool. Pretty soon I’ll have to get the net thingie out to catch some rogue leaves in the water but until then I’m lying under the shade of a tree. Final results of the tournament therefore not currently available.
After a few unseasonal birdies I am just shoring up my claim on Spoonie with a late night bogey.
Spoonie looks you in the eye and says “Nah, been there, made to wear a t-shirt about some obscure African jazz hip hop country rock n roll township band”.
played them on tonight’s show 😉
Here we go pop pickers:
Down at the bottom, after a hard-fought battle Black Celebration pulled well away from his competition and finished 4 shots clear at +7. Spoonie says “Oh no, not him again.”
Sound hound and Max tried their best (which isn’t that much really) and registered +3
Not far behind was Junior and Clive +2
A disappointing few final holes saw me walk into the clubhouse at -1 (pretty chuffed actually)
Bamber and Jim shared 10th spot with -3 and just ahead Bozo, Plumb and Carl -4
Steve T kept moaning about pars but in the end a very creditable 6th place -5
Fortuneight all on his own at -8 with Mikep trying ever so hard at -12
Leedsboy is still upset with that 6 (the second cup of Java proved his downfall) which meant his now customary third place and -13
Roll of trumpets, please:
Battling all the way to the end, neck and neck as they crossed the finishing line together with a simply astonishing -15, I give you – Pencilsqueezer and Pyramid !! Kudos to both but, of course, we await final confirmation until after the compulsory drug test(s).
We need a volunteer, please, for the September scorer.
Until then, keeeep dancing!
Well played the P’s of Pencilsqueezer and Pyramid. I am, indeed, rueing that 6.
Top class overlording Lodey. Thanks everyone and nobody is more surprised than I am. I doubt good fortune will continue into next month.
He’s tucked up in bed, in his room.
Thanks Lodey – a dreadful effort from me. I’m normally quite good at wordy things, but I seem to reek and indeed blow chunks at Wordle.
I must say BC I thought I had things covered. Even reorganised the cutlery drawer. But I guess my badness was just not consistent enough.
Thank you to His Lodeship for an entertaining stewardship, nobody does it like him.
Congrats to Black Celeb for hoisting Spoonie above his head.
Pencilsqeezer playeda great game indeed everyone did.
If no one else wants it I’ll host the next tourney although to be as entertaining as His Lodeship is nigh on impossible.
Damn that bogey. If I’d got an eagle instead I’d have been up there with the other Ps.
Hey ho…good game, good game everybody, and thanks to Our Man in the Dordogne (or wherever).
Thanks everybody for a really entertaining competition. Nicely stewarded, Lodsey. Congrats to the Big P’s and well done Black C. Looking forward to September…
Well done to the podium finisher’s,
Pencilsqueezer, Pyramid and Leedsboy,
Thanks to Lodes for officiating and congratulations to BC for looking after Spoonie for another month. See you all in September 🌂
