Why didn't I practice last week?

[momerath]

Well, at the very least it seems that I can find comfort in the fact that I'm not the only one feeling that way.

[TheKurichan]

I put my cart in for the first time in a week to play the round, you never forget how to ride a golf club and balls.

[TheKurichan]

Day 2, 3 over on the first hole.

[PlayerOneStewy]

Was a +5 yesterday, and that was with a hole in one on the final hole.

[Wenny]

I finished alright for having taken almost a month and a half off.

[thegreenburrito]

The "+1 Hit A Tree" rule today is more of a challenge then yesterdays, that is for sure. Still ended up not hitting any and ending with a -1.

Can feel the rust starting to wear off a bit.

[levitynyc]

+3 today. Frustrating. I've actually never played that course.

Funniest moment ever.

I was deep in a bunker next to the green. I try a shot out of the bunker and i don't hit it hard enough. It barely gets out of the bunker, hits the sloped fringe and rolls back to my feet. Extremely frustrated I hit a shot with full power out of the bunker. The shot is perfectly on line, but a bit too hard. It hits 3/4s the way up the pin and bounces straight backwards, rolls back on the green, back down on the fringe and settles directly at my feet again in the bunker.

The rust has not worn off. Not only did my first stroke hit a tree, but it was also ruled unplayable. +2 for me.

[momerath]

Alright pros, here's the rundown on yesterday:

Kurichan -7
Tygor -7
HOV -6
Matt -5
Maximus -3
Thekranz -3
Syndite -2
Follow even
Momerath +1
Juanster +2


Good luck today!

[Germeh]

-2 yesterday -2 today hooray for consistent mediocrity

I wish I wouldn't have read this because hole 3 the same kind of thing happened to me. Took three tries to get out of the sand and took a bogey. I got quite fortunate on a couple of chip-ins from just off the green, but it's a tough course. Don't want to spoil the score to create drama for tomorrow

[PlayerOneStewy]

Ridiculous bogeys on the two first holes where the ball rode the rim both times on a chip in, then rode the rim again on both follow-up putts.

Managed to pull off a -2 overall, though.

[famousmortimer]

Busy as shit day for me. Im just gonna post the full, final results tomorrow.

[momerath]

Man, the position of some of those pins today could only have been chosen by Satan himself. Some seriously brutal spots and fast greens.

I had to bust my ass to work my way down after some seriously awful bogeys in the early part of the course.

The good news is that I feel like I'm starting to get my groove back a little. I think I can safely consider this tourney a wash, though.

[momerath]

Alright, pro leaguers! Here are the final results from our first tourney [that player's second round score in brackets]:


1. Tygor -15 [-8]

2. Matt -10 [-5]

3. Kurichan -8 [-1]
3. HOV -8 [-2]

4. Thekranz -4 [-1]

5. Follow -3 [-3]

6. Syndite -2 [even]

7. Momerath -1 [-2]

8. Maximus +1 [+4]

9. Juanster +4 [+2]


A big congratulations to Tygor James! A very impressive victory indeed.

In slightly related news, I'm definitely going to be hitting the practice course on my day off here...

[eznark]

I'll take a top five. I had a double in both rounds which really should not have happened....

[dammitmattt]

Wow. Tygor is a fucking beast!

[momerath]

[Nearly] identical to Kurichan's established prior format:

PRO LEAGUE - WEEK 1




Not that it matters this early. Although, if you guys think it would be cool to track any more stats I can write up some formulas pretty quick. Maybe average score per round or something?

[juanster]

What happened to me? I completely lost my touch.

[Germeh]

Hrmm did Juan pull a Tiger Woods and stop hanging with porn stars and strippers?

[Follow]

Juanster, you won't suck forever. Sweet to be in the top five for the week that you do, though.

[eznark]

Wow. Tygor is a fucking beast!

I can't believe he put up an -8 with those pins yesterday. I'm doooooommmmmeeeeedddd

[famousmortimer]

Ill get the complete scores up soon. I've been getting a warning that there's malware on this site so I've stayed away. I decided I didn't care anymore.


Is it safe?

Or do i have the aids?

[famousmortimer]

Goddamnit. I did it again.


I had like 18/22 done and I hit some button on my computer which sent me back a page and when i hit forward my work was gone.


Fuck.


I have to go to work in like an hour, Im exhausted. I can't do it now. The scores are posted if powerglove wants to go above and beyond and list out the amateur scores like momerath did. If you don't, I don't blame you. I'll do it in the morning when I get out of work.

[momerath]

We've all been infected! The end times are nigh!

[famousmortimer]

Well the good news is that this, THE SECOND TIME, gave me enough of a kick in the ass to google it and evidently what im doing is hitting backspace when the cursor isn't in the box anymore. Someone created an extension to disable that. So it shouldn't happen again. I hope.

[thegreenburrito]

Ok finally got home from work and just calculated the scores for the Amateur League.



1. Borstalshark -7

2. Germ -4
2. Greg -4

3. Powerglove +1

4. Stewy +3
4. PCModem +3
4. Drusycc +3

5. Failon +5

6. Levity +6
6. Skumchunk +6

7. Raggen +7

8. Mort +11

DNF: Wenny

DNS: Joseph, Harmonsmith, Jetpilot, Tron, Greenlantern, Nubuo, Goose



Congrats to Borstalshark! Smoked most of the competition there!

Had quite a few no shows which is always discouraging, but hopefully it picks up this next tournament.

[thegreenburrito]

And the official Amateur rankings. Tried to keep it as close to as Kurichan had it and as close to what Momerath is doing.

[TheKurichan]

Fuck me! Mort! Lift your game.

[sabin1001]

Sorry about the no show, was at a work conference this week and a cruise during the end of the season 2, made it very hard to participate. I'm back now though (until E3 week, at least).

[borstalshark]

Not sure what happened there, hadn't played in a week and shot -7 on Tuesday, just nailed each approach. Hopefully I can force myself to take Uncharted out of my Vita long enough to keep up with the tournaments! Hooked!

[famousmortimer]

Thank you so much powerglove and momerath. I appreciate it greatly.


Tournament 2 starts today. My goal is to not be in last place in the bottom division.

I don't want to be last again either.

[Germeh]

Started double bogey, had a mental cramp instead of shooting around the tree I hit it straight on and ball went O.B. finished -3 tho missed double eagle by 3 feet hole 3 bounced ball off the roof and rolled str8 for pin but not enough top spin

[juanster]

Nope, still don't have it. Only shot a -4.

[momerath]

Fun fact: playing this game slightly intoxicated yields poor results.

[Follow]

My only options on Friday are either to play tired as fuck as soon as I get up or highly intoxicated when I get home. I play pretty crappy either way, but mornings certainly leave me better off.

[famousmortimer]

I missed getting my score posted by about 2 minutes. I think I am too busy/distracted to be doing this. Ill post more later, I have a bunch of shit I need to do... and then sleep, and then go back to work.

But i dont have yesterday's scores now. Im sorry

[momerath]

No worries mort. I've got the pros on my list so I can handle those. I'm sure powerglove can do the amateur as well.

I don't have wifi at the moment (posting from my phone) but I'll try to post Friday's pro results this evening sometime.
