Wentworth - Flight #2 AM
Firestricker and kenw are matched up and playing to see who makes it to the big show.
Since there was a fire in the match, kenw created ''waterbucket'' for this round. Fire sets it up and we arrive at the 1st tee, and its raining. Crap, this bucket is going to overflow quickly
Hole 1 - Fire hits the fairway, kens misses right. Both make the green on 2nd shots, but long putts. Fire comes up a tad short while ken adjusts a bad preview correctly. ken 1up
Hole 2 - Par 3 and a 26 mph headwind. ken gets it to within 5 feet. Fire just catches the fringe, but his putter either lip out or bounce off the stick. Birdie for ken, par for fire. kenw up 2
Hole 3- High winds from left to right. ken plays safe with a punch shot. It lands in the rough and a tree now requires me to use another punch shot Fire drills one off the tee and safely in the f/w. Both make it on in 2 but ken misses a 26 footer by a tad. fire birds to close the gap. ken up 1
Hole 4- Par 5. Fire bombs it and ends a bit right into the rough. ken tries the same with added draw and parks it next to fire in the rough I get on in 2 with a 13 footer left. Fire clips tree and comes up a mile short. ken eagles to fire's birdie. ken up 2
Hole 5- Par 3, 23 tailwind. ken comes up way short, fire overshoots it. Neither did well here and happily settle for pars. ken 2 up.
Hole 6 - a pair of birdies
Hole 7- A d4 with the right winds. These aren't the right winds, ken knows it but you know me, I had to try it. Yup, I am in the rough,make my 2nd shot onto the green with an uphill 2 foot putt breaking way left. Dang, its hole #7 @ Wentworth! I miss align my putt and get the par. Meanwhile fire is playing safe off the tee, makes a great 2nd shot, and capitalizes on ken's foolishness for the birdie. It's back to ken 1 up
Hole 8- The hole with the split f/w's. Fire has a good one. ken uses a 3w, adds massive draw, only to see it overshoot the f/w Fire get it there in 2, ken gets it closer though Both birdie
Hole 9 - We each birdie and make the turn with ken having a 1up lead
Hole 10 - Time to empty the water from our shoes and focus. We both par.
Hole 11 - Another pair of birdies. ken 1 up
Hole 12 - We both head right off the tee and once again join each other in the rough. Fires on in 2 but short of the pin. He drains the long putt for the eagle. Ken goes long on the 2nd but the spin keeps him on the green by a blade or two. ken lips the eagle and makes it for birdie. Fire makes the match AS.
Hole 13 -With all the rain, we each weigh another 15 pounds from when we first began Ken runs behind a tree and does a quick wrenching of his clothes. This seems to have worked. ken takes way too long to decide what to hit and how, he overshoots the green. Fire comes up short and in the rough. Fires putt tinks the pin again. UGH. ken pars to fires bogey. ken 1 up again
Hole 14 - par 3. We both make the green. Kens preview is 1 foot short. I up the classic putt, and know that a 100% shot will sail and take a RARE % putter shot for the birdie. Fire fires his putt too far. I think fire's baby opossum now has the wiimote ken 2 up
Hole 15 - Not a d4, but ken still wants to make the 2nd split f/w and once again is short and in the rough. Fire tries something similar but hits the tiny little creek With just 3 hole remaining, we both know it was a bad time for that. Ken drains the 44 footer for the birdie. I apologize to fire for the excessive celebration my guy does in the video (42:23 mark) Ok, its official, fires baby opossum has just been swallowed by his pet anaconda its ken 3up and dormie
Hole 16 - We end the match on a high note with a pair of birdies
WaterBucket defeats Firestricker 3&2.
Wait doesn't water trump fire, like a game of rock, paper, scissors
We had a good time in chat and who knows what will happen next time. Maybe fire's anaconda will eat me off the 1st tee instead

edit: fire and I must have been writing at same time Now I go read his little fun write up. I got 2 browsers open and am reading both at the same time. What a great story it is like this Particularly reading Fires hole 13 first, then ken's 13th description! LMAO
