So, c'mon Penfold.
Give us the lowdown on pucking up there.
I'm sure they do things a bit differently than we do.

Here's the main things.
The royal court pucks when the Queen deems it time.
They have a chalkboard the hang from a guard's pike to keep score of the game.
They score by skins rather than strokes.
In other words if you win a hole on strokes, you get a skin.
At the end, the most skins wins.
They play with these little walking sticks that are ROUND.
Your technique has to be changed in order to puck with these, but I have found a technique that works.
Next year I will make sure to bring my stick (last year I did and didn't puck, so I left it home this year) and show them the difference.
What gets interesting is that because they are round sticks, their holes are based more on distance rather than tricky setups.
Hrm...
What else?
I think that sums it up nicely.
MODIFIED:
Oops, one more thing. They make up all the holes as they go along each time they play. No true set course.

Say Penfold what was that pirate step thing that happened by the clothesline on the third hole?
I do not recall that at GLMF.

At Michigan they allow Nancy Boy shots. To dig myself out of the hole I was in there, I used the Armada which is a combination of the Spainish O'erthrow and the Australion Float.
It allows you to take one step while balancing the rat and puck backward over the head.
If it had been stud pucking only, I would have had to puck back up the hill, then turn around and get over the clotheslines they deemed an objective.
Was that all business like or what? Must be the drugs.
Go go emergency dental visits! WOO!
