my thumber on saturday morning tombstoned into the ground the end just touching the round metal bit on the base, pipped by a girl in Jesses group whose disc touched the pole.

My sunday round thumber was resting against the pole right on top of the bag with the nearest the pin information, but no flag to mark it, We took a photo queried it with Michel (the TD) who told me yep i had won, got my little hopes all up, and then didn't get anything, gutted.

Oh and I am now a fan of roullete, had a quick game on the ferry on the way home

They do say "If you can't be good, be lucky!"

Taking account of my dg winnings, and my losses in the casino, I think Dunc and I finished up by about the same amount.

I would say Dunc won easily i'm afraid.

Remember Duncs winnings from the tournament - Thanks to Jesse!

And don't forget your losses on the way out, should have gone all on black sir!

On that score though Jessy would be biggest loser

competition - 10
Roulette trip out - I don't like to think!
Although coming back to win from being down to 1 chip in the poker was fairly impressive!

I dunno, judging by the round ratings no one had a lot to write home about!

Does that not expose a problem with the rating system? When we play amongst ourselves in the UK we seem to get inflated ratings. Then, when players head out to where the ability is generally higher, our ratings take a battering. I'm sure my 903 rating would only be worth 870 or so in a US event.

Short answer: no... It's been disproved by the stats time and time again, but keeps on getting raised.

It doesn't show anything more than familiarity with your own courses...

To add to this; the fact that people go and play in Europe helps to make sure the stats for us mere mortals who can't/don't travel to stay true. Don't ask me the details of how this works as I'm just repeating an answer I had given to me a few years ago

For the record, i sucked!

The round ratings are definitely there or thereabouts...... to give you an idea in the third round, I four putted three times and three putted three times, that's fifteen shots lost on putting alone

The only thing the weekend said to me is that one round in the last three months isn't enough if you want to play well at a tournament

The courses and set up were fantastic by the way, would strongly recomend anyone interested to make the trip out next year, just take mosquito spray with you and don't get in no taxis!!

yes avoid taxi!
