A Round With Roaster!!!

[Roaster©®™]

Caption game is back - but with a difference. There will still be pictures and players need to come up with a caption to go with the picture.

However, this time there is a slight difference - the pictures will represent golf holes (St Andrew's Old Course) and scoring will be by means of golf scores.

The aim is to get the lowest score for the round of 18 holes.

Scoring will be sensible - in that there's noway on earth anyone will hit a hole in one on a par 5 or par 4 for that matter (not even Gresley using his height to full advantage). All entries will be marked on merit and if on a hole all entries are above average then birdies will be the score (exceptional entries could warrant an eagle). Below average entries, or captions that I don't find amusing will score bogey or worse.

A non-entry for a hole will result in a score of 10 for that hole (assumes lost balls, penalty shots etc.)

Be sure to read the narrative with each hole as these detail the difficulty of the hole and hence the likely scores to be awarded. So for that matter does the par of that hole and the yardage to a degree!

The Tournament will be played over 3 weeks - with 6 holes being posted each Sunday. The winner will be the one with the lowest score and in the event of a tie for 1st place a four hole play-off will be posted. This will be played using the existing pictures for holes 2, 9, 13 and 15.

Karma prizes will be awarded to all entrants - commensurate with a tournament of this magnitude.

So without further ado, polish those irons and ready those woods and make your way to the 1st tee!

Best of luck!!! ;D

yeah but I'm shit and I know I am !

[Roaster©®™]

You won't find out till next Sunday once I've marked Holes 1 - 6 (and I never look in advance at entries)! It certainly makes for an amusing Sunday especially with a beer or two!

[PASTIE]

What an utterly pointless waste of time.

I'm excited already

[Roaster©®™]

No doubt been sharpening the ol' putting skills instead of educating the next members of the prospective employee pool about the differences between drumlins, barrows and cirques (or are those wonderful formations now off the syllabus?)

Don't get me started on the syllabus. As an advisor for the relaunched national curriculum I really am licenced to thrill...

But yes, I've been neglecting everything for the captions. I would never let you down.

[thales]

ok, how dodgy are the pictures, keep being blocked at work and home, will have change setting to see now

[GresleyRam©®™]

Not dodgy at all - just golfing pictures really, nowt bad!!

[Tony Yeboah's Lunchbox]

I must say, its a definate disadvantage being one of the last out on the course. The wind certainly picked up during my round (answers for captions not taken proved a difficulty)

Fortunately for me the wind died down and the sun came out during my round - was able to strike the ball well off the tee with exceptional accuracy. May need to work a bit on the short game. But I am definately gunning for a lowscore this round.

[Argyle_Smurf]

I had a fairly large number of poor shots.

"(I)... learned long ago that three poor shots and one great shot can still make par..."

[Roaster©®™]

We'll see on Sunday mate - though having sneaked a quick peep at the rounds played so far reckon there will be plenty of low scores!

The wind was favourable and the sun shone at St Andrews for Round 1 - but the weather forecast doesn't look promising over the weekend when Round 2 kicks off!

Chears am getting better then ;d and that will do.. Worked for Justin Rose along time ago

[Roaster©®™]

And now HE's reaping the benefits too!

[Roaster©®™]

And with a mere 21 hours left before the close of round one - anyone else fancy swinging a club or two ;D

[Pete the Wolf]

I'd have put more entries in if it wasn't for the uni firewall (I'm guessing) blocking me from seeing all except those two entries (4+5) I've attempted
