    • 8 birdies, eh? But you’re not really happy, are you? It’s all gotten too easy, routine even. You miss the fluffed drives, the wild slices. You miss looking for your ball in the gorse. You miss talking with your friends in the locker room. Now it’s all strictly business, no time for idle chat with losers. Because that’s what they are, losers. And you’re a winner and winners win cos that’s what winners do. But you still miss the old days, don’t you?

  109. I also am a par nan this morning. Apologies – I have only just realised that I haven’t posted the scores after 9 holes – will do so later today.

    At last, I am beating par.

  118. A quick update. Scores after 9 holes were:

    Paul H -6
    Steve T -5
    Leedsboy -4
    Chiz -3
    Mikethep -3
    Steve Walsh -1
    Black Celebration =
    Thecheshirecat =
    Jim +1
    Max the Dog +3
    Lodestone of Wrongness +4

    I am missing a few scores for fortuneight and Plumb 1909. If you can fill the gaps I’m happy to add you in.

  126. Couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo … double bogey shame.

    @paul-hewston – I’ve not managed to get out on the course each day. The vice-captain took me to one side in the clubhouse and told me I’d been disqualified as a consequence.

    • ‘Impacted developers have shared their frustrations…’ Ha! This might look like The Man throwing his weight around, but, you know, copyright? No doubt someone will now appear out of the woodwork claiming that they thought the game up before Josh Wardle did.

    Here in Cambodia, the Khmer alphabet reputedly has the most characters of any. 33 consonants, 22 vowels and 12 floating vowels. Wordle must be a nightmare.

    I was trying to putt and they kept asking me to register. A double bogey might get me a coveted wooden spoon.

  203. I’ve waited for Steve Walsh and Steve T to enter scores for a missing hole each but, one day later, am now assuming they got a par on Hole 15 (Steve T) and Hole 18 (Steve W). So, final scores on that basis are:

    Leedsboy -9
    Chiz -8
    Steve T, MiketheP – 7
    Paul H -6
    thecheshirecat -3
    Steve Walsh, Max the Dog -1
    Jim +2
    Lodestone, Black Celebration +4

    Well played Leedsboy. See ya in April for the April Fools Classic.

  207. Well done everybody, especially Cheshire Cat who managed to pull himself away from SE Asian delights for long enough to get all the rounds in. And thanks Paul.

    • And still monitoring the leaderboard from the delights of Dalat in the Central Highlands of Vietnam at 1500m. Lots of downhill cycling tomorrow! But for now, it’s off to the night market for some snap.
