    I have teed off in the playoff and scored a 3. I'm hopeful that this will get me into the next round

    Comment


      A par 4 for me.

        Great work IT and congratulations our playoff participants. You’re all winners, it doesn’t matter what happens now.

        Who am I Kidding?

          irony towers that was indeed a fine game with as many ups, downs and stomach-clenching moments as any roller coaster ride. Truly enjoyed it.

          After a sober evening, stride down to the tee. Max handed me our regular starting club, biffed down the middle. Second shot barely contemplated before it too set off into the cool Yorkshire morning. Max had barely passed me the putter before the ball rattled in for a birdie 3 in (for me) probably record breaking time.

            Oh Foxy, what wouldn't I give for such breezy nonchalance in the pit of the crucible? For me, second-guessing means trying to piece together how others got there; for you it means taking a second to guess.

            Today I seem to have thought my way into your head more successfully than you, as I landed an eagle 2. And that is that.

            The other placings according to tiebreak are:

            2) Simon G
            3) nmrfox
            4) ad hoc

              Congrats and thanks for all your work.

                Congratulations! After all your work this is a richly deserved success

                (as an aside, how do I end up 4th? The scores on the tiebreak itself don't count? )

                  Since you were simultaneously eliminated, the tie-break relates to the four head-to-head rounds. In matchplay there's no distinction between the number of strokes if a hole is lost.

                          Congratulations, irony towers. To think this sort of talent wasn't selected for the last Ryder Cup.

                          Comment


                            Stand by for the next Ryder Cup in May/June. Since I didn't participate fully in either of the previous editions I'll definitely book myself a spot this time, and I'll declare for ROW by dint of an Irish great-grandparent.

                            This time round it may be more of a job to get us quorate on either side, so I'm keen to recruit some new faces into the matchplay fold. How about it, 1974ddr Cal Alamein jwdd27, and can we get matt j Uncle Ethan back on board? I'm mentioning it now in case they'd like to get their eye in on the grading ladder.

                              Nice one irony towers! Richly deserved for all of your efforts in running this tournament and you certainly should've won our match as i got streaky on the last two holes. Enjoy your celebrations this evening!

                                Well done, irony towers. A worthy and popular champion, and you certainly did it the hard way.

                                As we say in The Netherlands - dik verdiend!

                                    Well done irony towers and thank you for running this again.

                                    Still not sure how I came second, but I'll definitely take it.

                                          The hole defaulted by ad hoc was counted as a win for San Bernardhinault but not as a loss for ad hoc.

                                              It's clear that the standard keeps improving the longer these tournaments go on.

                                              How long before we see the Wordle equivalent of the darts split and nmrfox* takes the top 10 to form his own organisation due to not enough TV events...
