Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a six letter word that has more to do with cricket than golf
Holes in one are the dream of every golfer. Or so I'm told since I've only ever played 9 holes of golf in my entire life. And I very much did not make a hole in one. Far from it! I remember teeing off on hole 10 (we were playing the back nine, you see) and watching my ball land beautifully in the middle of the fairway... of hole 18. If my friends had let me continue on that fairway, I might have set a course record! Anyway, that experience does not figure into this puzzle in any way. The answer to this meta is a six letter word that has more to do with cricket than golf. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=101985#p101985
