Jumble Solved – 06/18/22

Visual Description:  A dubious drive.

TPYET  =  PETTY,  NWIET  =  TWINE,  RONCEE  =  ENCORE,  SCAAUB  =  ABACUS   —   Giving us:  ETTINEENRACU

Clue/Question:  For the novice golfer, the first shot of the round came with – – – 

Answer:  “UNCERTAIN–TEE“

(A little razzing from the guys.  But some support from his little lady friend!  Decent form.  Just keep your head down and you’ll be okay, son.

All of today’s clue words were par for the course.  The first two jumbles came up as new, but it’s an encore performance for both “roncee” and “scaaub”.  The answer letter layout was a twisty twelve letter dog-leg of a jumble.  Superbly cryptic.  The quotation marks and the hyphen were the big clues in getting the final answer.

Fun cartoon of some tweens teeing it up in the tee box.  Typical goof balls . . . with golf balls.  Boys will be boys.  Hopefully, the girl will keep them in line.  Fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
