Dunks Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for the blustery day, you git Special mention should go to Jambodunks methinks, he shot a first round 86 and is sitting up there in the top 8, way to go mate! Cheers John Unfortunately back to St Andrews though, so another 86 in the offing Beer fridge first, though I'm out of Guinness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Bishop Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Finished with a 79, delighted consider i 5 putted the 2nd and was +7 after 3!!! Could hardly reach alot of par 4`s and i must be the first person in the history of golf to have to play a 3 iron 2nd shot into 18!!!!

Dunks Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yip - St Andrews ain't my course! A horrendous 89 for me, including an 8 at the last! I was in the Valley of Sin 3 times Well done to the players hitting under par Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 a cheeky wee 56 and I'm in there Ah well - 5 holes in one with my last 5 tee shots and I'd've done it So why the feck did I choose to go bogey - bogey - bogey - bogey - par? Feckin wind, feckin putting, feckin game - whose feckin idea was this anyway? Time for the 19th - I may be there some time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 44 putts in a round of 84. Six holes in (at +7) before I realised the greens were "very fast" and I was wondering why I hadn't had a second putt of less than 10ft. D'oh! Wind and pin positions were a pure barsteward, had a 76 in practice at St Andrews last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmiyaRomanova Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) THE INAUGURAL KICKBACK OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS Save a miracle (the only player yet to register a round who could break into the top three would require a 63 to do so), it's all over bar the shouting. So, with due regard for a complete lack of Kickback tradition, the presentation will take place before the Round is closed. THE WINNER CONGRATULATIONS to DEVISKAN, who becomes the first KICKBACKERS Open Champion with a score of 275 (65, 67, 73, 70). Deviskan led from the off, and saw off his challengers with a sub par final round despite testing course conditions. Well done! A gaggle of adoring fans* has gathered by the 18th green for the presentation of the Trophy. Afterwards, Deviskan will be whisked away to a traditional no-expense-gone-to Victors' Banquet with the event's corporate sponsors. Full Leaderboard and final analysis will be up after close of play this evening. * I innocently typed 'grannies' into Google Images with safe search off. NEVER again.

Every time i get slightly out it rolls back in, HELP!!!! what do i do? If I'd seen this earlier I'd've said play it out backwards or sideways (just by aiming there) and take whatever punishment the course gives you - should usually manage to get away with dropping only 1 or 2 shots.

portobellojambo1 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Tournament greens...WTF???? Frikkikn nightmare!! I gave up my round after 4 holes Boof. I think the first 4 holes were 3 par 4's and a par 5 and I had played 4 drives, 5 irons and had 32 putts, sitting at +24 (on one hole I think I putted 4 times from about 1.5 feet).. Wasn't too sure how far the counter could go up, but the thought of finishing +108 wasn't too appealing. I might give it another bash later on tonight, or just concentrate on trying to get better at the game in general (no point in trying to run before you can walk).

robbodog Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 If you find the tournament greens annoying, do not use a 3wd from 1.5ft away from the hole, it's not as satisfying as i thought it would be and it doesn't improve your score:angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Spacey Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I've been getting incredibly close with my chips on the green from around 90 yards, hit the pin with one shot but it didn't drop.

ArmiyaRomanova Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 KICKBACK INAUGURAL OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL LEADERBOARD Congratulations once again to tourney winner Deviskan, who's probably enjoying the sponsors' dinner right now. Tough luck to hiz999 and AndyMcI77, who made it a close run comp. Congratulations are also due to top-ranking Amateur players jamiej29 and jambodunks, who tied at 320. And to bigfow, the only Hack player to survive, finishing 15 of the 16 players who actually contended all four rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmiyaRomanova Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Here's this week's tournament for you all.... Kickbackers St Andrews Marathon 4 rounds of the Old Course, with differing wind/green conditions on each round. Each round will be open for 48 hours, which should give most folk time to register a score - though it does mean that tourney will run through to next week. Single play (i.e. no multiple rounds to up your score), and there will be no Cut this time out. Round One is up for play now. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
