No - he's away on one of his bizarre trips abroad!

He's bizarre anywhere! Love the Safari Jacket in the Dorridge pics - made Trev & I laugh!

Unfortunately I have to go on a ruddy holiday, so I have to pull out of the Megabowl.

Good luck to all who take part.

My money is on Freebird to win. He won the Kent Open there but more importantly is playing better minigolf than anyone at the moment.

Thats a shame Seth, have a good 'un!

I'm predicting a three way tie between FB, Mr X and The Force and a hole 1 play-off win for the dreaded yellow klicker which has now become the dreaded white klicker!

Tim has taught you well HIOK - Lesson 2: "Predict everyone else but yourself to win"

My only 2 predictions. For the day...

1) We will see a new course record
2) It'll be a good laugh as always

No problem - there will be 6 of them plus a bonus ball!

I think Michael will lose both the event and with his predictions!

I'm not going to sit on the fence with this one....It's Freebird's event to lose with Michael ready to pounce if he wobbles. (I would have said Andy if he was on his own - sorry mate!)

As for me...I've lost my notes from last year, spent 2 visits there in last 3 weeks and only done 10 holes, not even sure the 10 holes are getting an ace line regularly, I'm not good on this type of course, and I've lost my clicker!! All equating to a 4th place finish -

4th if you're lucky Marc!! We have clickers for sale if you need one...

Got a red one?

Red, White, Green, Blue, Yellow & Pink. Will bring them all tomorrow. See you there.

No offence taken Force, it's no secret that my concentration stays at home when the H comes with me!

As I said - The 'Bird is the word, many Congrats to FB on a super one ball only win! Awesome display!
A great standard of play from everyone, there'll be quite a few faces at the top end of the BO leaderboard.
Thanks to Boom, DT & Jackpot for looking after the H, he enjoyed himself, especially R4 without me there!
Actually in R4 I was rubbish so maybe I missed his presence!
Happy Birthday Michael, hope you enjoyed the day, it was fun & nice to see plenty of the Green boys there too.

Few photos from yesterday (including a couple from the BO qualifier):

http://www.flickr.com/photos/13680867@N02/sets/72157627383983986/

The BOQ ended with 12 players taking part with 8 hitting the sub 44 mark and 3 more just outside. All bodes well for the BO in terms of quality novices!

Scores for info can be found here:

Just want to say a huge thank you to you all for all the birthday wishes and for making yesterday such a special day for me. That is without doubt the best way to spend a birthday. It was so much fun and I'm sure we've all learnt a huge amount ahead of the BO.

Congratulations to Sean on another great performance. He's been on a different level to the rest of us over the last month and I can't wait to see what he does in Stockholm and at The Open! If he carries on like this, expect to see more course records ending up at HT.

Great report as ever HIOK, & I am happy to also report that after borrowing the net for balls that drop into the well on the 18th holes, after a couple of minutes my beloved Pirate was back in safe hands - ie: mine, not Matty's!

Finally I have uploaded the 3rd place playoff...
Hope you like the choice in music?
