🎉 Thrash Rd1 Blog: Par? Never Heard of Her. The sun peeked out, the wind whispered tales of missed putts, and every buggy in Oxfordshire was rolling. That’s right — the first round of the HHGC Thrash landed with all the grace of a sliced tee shot into the car park. 🚀 Carter’s Cruise Missile… and a Near Miss Barry Carter set the tone early. On Hole 3, he nuked a drive that reportedly buzzed the club captain’s cap before bouncing just short of the green. What followed? A bog-standard 5. Because of course it did. Golf giveth, and golf slapeth back. ⛳ Susan Law’s Bunker Bounce Heartbreak On Hole 7, Susan Law channelled her inner trick-shot TikToker. Her drive ricocheted off the front bunker, landed on the green, and cozied up to the flag. She made the birdie 2 — cue the fist pump — only to discover someone had snuck even closer. Nearest the Pin: denied. A cruel mistress, this Thrash. 🌘 Night Owls: Rob & Joe’s Dusk Dash Rob Hayden and Joe Cheong defied time, daylight, and common sense to complete their round just before the course turned into a wildlife reserve. Playing the final hole by ambient starlight and pure hope, they somehow posted scores better than half the field. Tactical or lucky? We may never know. 🏆 Division Kings and Queens In Div 1, it was Ben Robert Richardson who reigned supreme with 22 points. No blobs, no fuss, just clinical scoring and a terrifying calm. We’ll be keeping an eye on him — mostly from behind a bunker. Over in Div 2, Jackie Cook took the win with 23 points. A round so tidy it could’ve come with a ribbon. If the rest of Div 2 brought knives, Jackie brought a lightsaber. 📊 Numbers That’ll Make You Blush Pauline Drew also racked up 22 points, and we suspect she did it while humming “Eye of the Tiger.” David Stas took the scenic route around the course, with a front nine that looked more like a treasure hunt than golf. Joshua Dixon opened with an eagle (!) on Hole 1, then promptly exploded into a majestic mess of blobs and high numbers. You can’t teach that kind of chaos. You just watch and applaud. 🏅 Awards & Miscellaneous Mayhem Birdie Blitz: Cian Dunne bagged 3 — rumour has it he was trying to finish early to make a Tesco delivery slot. Bogey Monster: Alison Rainford found a groove… unfortunately, it was the bogey groove. Six in a row. Snack Break Needed: Joshua Dixon recorded three consecutive 7s — if those were calories, we’d be proud. Mr. Consistent: Mark Drake calmly posted five pars in a row, which around here is basically witchcraft. 🏁 Summary: Chaos Reigns The Thrash may only be 9 holes, but it packed enough drama to fill a Netflix mini-series. Between missed pins, flying balls, early sunsets, and emotional breakdowns, it was a glorious mess. Just how we like it. See you next time. Bring fewer excuses and more wedges.
