Paris Duffers report: Sweet putts, big eagles, and warm jelly at Burford

Once again, the golfing gods of Burford presented our duffers with a beautiful summer afternoon to tear up the course and leave the spectators completely aghast. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen! Here is how the action unfolded this past Friday:

 Leading off the day, Cutter and Double G were simply no match for Jacque and Hoogs. From the very first hole, Jacque and Hoogs were on a mission and would not be denied victory. With ice in their veins, they hit straight shots, avoided every single hazard, and putted like Rory McIlroy. The lucky devils. Hope you boys enjoyed your milk!

 Next out of the gate was Salmon (Willie) and Bergy taking on Fergy and Enzo. Just when Ferg and Enz thought they had the match safely in their pockets, Big Will stepped up and sunk a monster putt from distance to tie the game. It just goes to show—you always have to watch out for the quiet ones.

 We finished the day with a pair of threesomes battling it out for bragging rights. Copper, Tuna (Brownie), and Sinc managed to edge out Big Al, Billy B, and Swanee by carding an impressive 3-under.

Any hope Big Al’s group had of catching up was completely dashed on the 16th hole, when Sinc sank an incredible eagle putt from right off the green. Those are the kinds of shots that make the post-round milk taste just a little bit sweeter. A quick word of warning to the league, though: beware of Swanee. As our resident rookie, he is really getting a feel for this grand game and is going to be a force to be reckoned with very soon.

That is a wrap for this week! We will leave you with the official quote of the day, courtesy of Cutter as he beautifully summarized his round: "Fridge wasn't workin', jelly wasn't moulding."

Have a great week, everyone, and we’ll see you all next Friday!
