        Ditto! (Pondered over that final shot for a while, I must say...)

        Guess we're trusting one another's honesty in this tournament?

            Guesswork doesn't come into it, Jah. If anyone's signed up for this I take it they're a bona fide competitor.

              My point was more about trusting that we're all being honest with our scores - I mean, I could be lying through my teeth.

              I'm not, obviously.

                I got your point. In theory it's a possibility that someone could cheat; in practice - and confirmed by the atmosphere to date - I'm satisfied I don't need to entertain that possibility.

                  I'm waiting to hear what the cash prize is before deciding whether to cheat.

                    Your choice of a green jug or a claret jacket.

                            I wasn't suggesting that you were - just that it would be easy to do so.

                            But anyway, it was a throwaway comment, and as a point seems to have drifted somewhat.

                              I would probably still struggle to beat irony towers if I did cheat.

                                FWIW, H2H opponents who have both finished their match (as we have) are then free to post their workings on the spoiler thread.

                                  I feel like I might be better off not looking before I start.

                                    Lucky 3 for me, equalling my best ever.

                                      Zoinks. In two. What a fortunate choice of starting word.

                                          Day 2 report:

                                          A magnificent spectacle as all 24 competitors bestrode the fairway. Never have so many Pringles been gathered since a certain birthday party during lockdown.

                                          The gallery was agape at the day's pin-peppering action: an average stroke count of 3.71, compared with 4.35 (allowing for some interpretation of the postings) on Day 1. Although it's stretching the analogy too far to talk in terms of Par 3 or Par 5 Wordle games, I anticipate we'll continue to see such fluctuations in the overall daily scoring.

                                          After just two scores of 3 on the first day, we were treated to six of them today - even then, these were eclipsed by pebblethefish and caja-dglh DeChambeau-ing it in for 2. caja's magic was an immediate strike-back to square the match, a feat also achieved by Antepli Ejderha after a first-day blowout - oh, the beauty of matchplay.

                                          Having sauntered up for a gander as the action started, Sam lost no time in displaying his credentials with a 3. Time will tell if we're witnessing a nascent Tiger Woods or a Todd Hamilton. Meanwhile, WOM versus Duncan Gardner is ... metronomic.

                                              A few hours after doing yesterday's, I've just done the brand new one released at midnight, and with embarrassing luck I have another success in 3 to report.

                                                  Reality Checkpoint a 4 for me today. Which I'm not unhappy with considering not a single letter of my first attempt was contained in the answer.

                                                    I caught a glimpse of the first letter of the solution this morning before I had played. So I scratch today
