The Kampot Classic

Hello there, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Kampot Classic, Cambodia's premier mini golf challenge, hosted by the wonderful Magic Sponge Guest House, Kampot. The weather is warm if slightly overcast, the challenge is over 9 holes, and the competitors are Katie "the Cobra" Tazzyman and Sam "the Stork" Tazzyman. Katie's won the toss, and Sam thus has to tee off first.

First hole: Sam holes in 2, good approach work, then a solid short putt. Katie also starts with a good approach shot, but her short game goes to hell, and she end with 5.

Second hole: both down in 2.
Sam: 4; Katie: 7

Third hole: Sam with a poor opening shot, leaving him a tricky 6 footer. And he just misses it! But he taps home the resulting short shot for a 3. Katie takes advantage, too - a 2 pulls her back to just 2 hots down.
Sam: 7; Katie: 9

Fourth hole: Katie starts now, having done better on the previous hole. Two apiece. Good quality
Sam: 9; Katie: 11

Fifth hole: Past half way now. Katie blunders, taking a three... but Sam fails to capitalise, also scoring three.
Sam: 12; Katie: 14

Sixth hole: Disaster for Katie, as she goes out of bounds several times, and cards a 6, then looks on with clear annoyance as Sam negotiates the tricky approach shot to drop in 2.
Sam: 14; Katie: 20

Seventh hole: With Sam again starting, he doesn't let the pressure get to him, and nails another 2. Katie follows suit. She's 6 shots down with two to play.
Sam: 16; Katie: 24

Eighth hole: Again two apiece.
Sam: 18; Katie: 26

Final hole: Sam keeps his cool and scores his fourth two on the spin. Katie, already defeated, shows some dissent out there, and eventually scores a four.

Final scores:
Sam: 20; Katie: 28

Sam the winner, then, and Katie will be disappointed - usually she leads early then falls away, but on this occasion she never got going out there. She can do better than that, and she knows it.

See you next time for more crazy golf...
