Golf. Argh. Here is my first hilarious attempt :)

87

john4p 23 December 2018 19:19

Glad you won Group D in Round 1 and not LinesMachine. ;)

-1

el_pasi 24 December 2018 11:29

And next crap attempt. Less crap than first but crap anyway.
@john4p: Would have been interesting match between you and LinesMachine :)

82 (+10)

No, I wouldn't have stood a chance. He'll probably get a -10.

john4p 26 December 2018 13:59

@el_pasi: Won't try to further improve. So if you can get a -2 you'll proceed to the semifinal.

el_pasi 26 December 2018 22:03

@john4p: You can safely start concentrating on next round :) I'll surely try again, but there's no way I could score -2. Maybe +5 could be reachable on a good day.

john4p 26 December 2018 22:11

Okay, thanks for the info. ;)

This game can be quite frustrating - one misclick potentially ruins a whole run.

That tension is what I loved about it. :laughing

john4p 27 December 2018 13:35

Yeah I also did in the 3 weeks league round. But at this time of the year I don't need this tension. ;)

Back earlier this year, when I first starting playing this game I hit a brick wall after a few hours of play. I just couldn't get more than about 2/3 under by the end of the course. I found that I was just pushing it too hard. I found if I "reset" myself mentally between each hole it really helped. forget the overall score. Just think about par and plod towards it. You'll find the odd Birdie happens, which is great, but you'll never go much more than one over equally. A good run and you'll find a -7/8 is suddenly in your grasp!

capehorn 27 December 2018 23:53

First ever attempt at this game

85 (+13)

Good advice - I'll do it like this next year when we play PGA European Tour AGA. ;)

capehorn 28 December 2018 00:32

Who says practice doesn't make perfect? One-shot improvement!

84 (+12)

john4p 28 December 2018 13:04

That will probably suffice so you, LinesMachine, Parpala and I proceed to the semifinal.

Only 36 hours left for steef, el_pasi, Joni and lifeschool to change that.

john4p 29 December 2018 17:31

Whoa, steef stroke back with a +10.

7.5 hours left for capehorn.

el_pasi 29 December 2018 18:32

And here's my best score of today after sweating and swearing:

74 (+2)

Not enough though, good luck for next round john4p :great

capehorn 29 December 2018 19:13

I'm not sure why the narrative was that I had Steef beaten, he had already said that he had only had one go and that he was going to try again.

This is a little more like it, although I am sure I can do better (two of the non-pars were due to very careless errors)

77

john4p 29 December 2018 19:36

It was a stealth encouragement for steef to try again close to the end of this round. ;)
But I'm pretty sure this +5 now will be enough.

edit: Oh, a +7 by steef now - maybe it's not over yet.
