  6. The standings at the top of the leaderboard two thirds of the way through the tournament:

    Pyramid -11

    badartdog -10
    hubert rawlinson -10 Both of whom have had the perfect round up to now having not dropped a shot

    Black Celebration -9 Who has also not dropped a shot
    Clive -9

    At the other end it’s a one horse race for Spoonie although Lodestone Of Wrongness has made something of a comeback over the last three holes be afraid plumb1909, Sound hound and Junior Wells be very afraid

  12. Brain fart on line 2. Knew the front 9 was too good to last.

  40. Don’t panic Lodey, you can always rely on the hound to bring things back down to earth. A disaster very narrowly averted!

    Should have done better the last few holes i feel.
    Well done everyone.

  132. The results are in, so here are the final placings:

    In joint first place badartdog & hubert rawlinson both at -15

    Joint 3rd place Leedsboy & Pyramid both on -12

    Joint 5th place Black Celebration & Steve Walsh both on -10

    Joint 7th place Bamber, Clive, Paul Hewston & Jim all on -8

    11th place thecheshirecat -7

    Joint 12th place fortuneight, SteveT & Yorkio all on -6

    Joint 15th place Carl & Mikethep both on -4

    17th place Maxthedog -3

    18th place plumb1909 -2

    19th place Junior Wells -1

    So who is the holder of Spoonie for the next 30 days?

    It isn’t Lodestone Of Wrongness who finished on +3

    Finishing on -4 it’s Sound hound whose turn it is to shout from the rooftops, rejoice in his backyard and get the milkshakes in for everyone!

    Let us congratulate badartdog & hubert rawlinson as they look on with admiration at Sound hound as he waves Spoonie in the air.

    I also think hubert rawlinson deserves a special mention for not dropping a shot in a perfect round to take nothing away from badartdog who scored just as well.

  134. Well played, Sound Hound! We know where the real battle was: real men slugging it out, falling into the bunker, leaving the putter god knows where, picking up the wrong ball, no quarter asked, just two ordinary guys bound together by incompetence and, yes, love.

  135. Well done B-A-Dog and Hubert on a very impressive tally. Thanks to Pyramid for hosting this month. Some day when I have time and a functional laptop I’ll take the responsibility on.

  139. Many thanks Pyramids. A very nicely curated round. Standards were high this month. Many congratulations to Badartdog and Hubes. Outstanding wordling.

  141. I demand a re-count…. On second thoughts, maybe not. Scores can go down as well as…..further down!
    I have managed to use ai to create a fine image of a hound with a wooden spoon but have been unable to post it so if anyone can give a despondent hound some technical support I will upload the fruit of my labours
    Well done to the winners and thanks to Pyramid for hosting
    Also a special thanks to Lodey for his heroic, if ultimately unsuccessful effort to win the spoon.
    Until next month…
