Milko misses out by 50pts! Unlucky.

Hell's bells! One less lipped out putt or even a metre or so nearer to the pin and that would be in. Curses!

The final round is scheduled for 8:30pm tonight.

Those who have just missed the cut, keep your eye on the thread in case people can't make it. So say someone who's qualified drops out, the next in line would get a place in the final 8.

Milko misses out by 50pts! Unlucky. Scratch misses the cut for a second week but this time a little more narrowly. Time to see if I can lead from the front rather than being in the chasing pack throwing jibes...

Damn Syntax, what went wrong?

So I would've made the cut if I could've made tonights game. I'll play a round now to see how I might have done.

EDIT: Well erm, not good if that was anything to go by. I perform better under pressure anyway

[spanx]

Well the wife and I have already worked out way through two bottles of wine this afternoon...

Expect greatness.

(And yes, I AM making fucking excuses already

Dont ask! was a comedy of errors and half inch missed putts.

[tyler]

An hour away now. It may be worth milko and scratch turning up just in case. We've not heard anything from ryanski and vcassano today.

[milko]

I'll pop in and wave y'all off at least

[vcassano]

I'm ok for 8.30

[tyler]

It was never going to have the drama of the Masters but it was still an enjoyable final round. The main action became about 2nd place after I was -9 through 9H. Spanx and Spleen became the main contenders after U-1 and shoinan stalled. By the 18th Spanx was actually just one shot back but a bogey on the final hole and Spleen taking birdie made things look comfortable in the end. For me I thought it was going to be -13 again as that's been my score the previous three times on this course. It seems I took my eye off the ball though with a bogey at 17. I'll set a new record one day. Well played everyone.

[Fuddle]

my second safari round was reasonable i guess. everything was going ok, with 2 birdies in the first 9. thought i might get a new record, but 2 bogeys just at the end put me back to even. i hardly got a perfect contact the whole game though, so i was constantly fighting to keep pars.

good 18 on silver peaks too. got a new record, 6 better than my previous. i should have saved the replays of some of those putts though, they were magnificent. huge 10m rolling left and right by miles before dropping in. and then ruining them by getting bogeys on the next holes.

thats my second win ever... good stuff

[spanx]

That was a good game....

Realised what caused by total breakdown on the last hole... used a super shot when I didn't have any left. Gah.

Still, -9 is my best round on the safari course.

[Spleen]

It was indeed a good game.

Don't seem to be able to do better than -9 though, that's been the score the last few times.

Definately prefer this course to Silver Peaks, as was apparant in the second game

[tyler]

Which course should we go for this week? Move on to Silver Peaks or back to one of the first three...

1. Highland C.C

2. Okinawa

3. Euro Classic

4. Silver Peaks

VOTE!

[Spleen]

I vote for:

2. Okinawa and its lovely sea air.

[milko]

I'm happy with any of those ... once again free on the weekend but might have to play a late slot on Thursday after I'm back from a game of squash.

[ryanski]

There seemed to be quite a few people in the past week saying they have just got the game, so in order for them to be able to join us I vote for Okinawa as well. Although they probably need to be made aware of this thread.

Milko I won't be able to play til after the football on thursday evening so if you can play about 10 or 10.30pm I'll join you.

[milko]

I'll probably be back earlier than that myself, yeah 10ish or so could be ideal. No getting a last hole birdie to drop me below the cut this time though!

[Fuddle]

any is fine with me.

[scratch]

As ryanski has said the earlier ones will probably allow more of those new to the game to get involved, but I don't mind which we go with.

[Yewone]

Not fussed which either..just sign me up regardless

[SteveH]

Damn what a dilemma. Vote for an easy-ish course and have Tyler beat me by about 19 shots and look like a novice. Or vote for a harder course and blame my ineptitude on the difficulty?

I'm in either way

[spanx]

Please not Silver Peaks.

For the sake of solidarity... I'll go with Okinawa

[spanx]

Oh, I've also finally unlocked Crown Links. It's a bitch.

[tyler]

Sounds like Okinawa is the best bet. If it's going to be one of the first two to accommodate newcomers then that's probably more interesting.

Okinawa Resort

18 Holes

Regular Tee

Very slow timer

Novice characters only.

I'll suggest that for the final round on Sunday we use Okinawa Resort Long Tee Mirror but that's not for definite as new players (assuming they sign up) might not even have that unlocked.

[Distinct muttering]

Obviously I will be up for this after my horrendous showing last time around.

I should be able to play on the Thursday match.

[ThePixelbarks]

Hey, just got this a couple of days ago. Absolutely loving it, and what you guys are doing here tourney wise. ^O^

Feel free to add me, and can any of us sign up for the tournies?

PSN: Dr_Mouse

[tyler]

Yeah, everyone's welcome.

We tend to play the first round on a Thursday evening between 8pm and 10pm. If there's a lot of us we have two or more rooms which get decided nearer tee-off. If people can't play Thursday then it's fine to play the first round any time before Sunday evening but the earlier the better. You have to play with at least one other rllmuker and obviously make sure to set up the rules accordingly. Once all first round results are in there's a cut and the final eight play on Sunday night.

[Meatball]

Count me in

[shoinan]

Count me in

And me. Getting better at Okinawa

[V3zna]

I have everything unlocked up to and including Safari including some 'mirrors', 'long tees' etc. I haven't played since last Friday though and I might not get on again before Friday night.
