I'm in another one of those funks where this game just wears me out. Putts that don't break the way they should, winds that either do nothing or do way more than they're supposed to, random tempo results outta nowhere, and the little stupid stuff that grates at me (i.e. a perfect drive that rolls and rolls down the fairway and then finds the first inch of the rough). Middle of round one was like a bunch of paper cuts! To answer the earlier question about why I'm mentally exhausted, here's another fun example from a different society: LMAO Been there done that but I know what you mean about inconsistent results from wind or breaks on greens. Playing Pinehurst I’ve never had so many balls just run off the edges of greens, every green felt like playing to an upturned saucer.

Round two in the books, -15, still 5 behind gemini, be tough to catch him in the last two.

No offense to the designer, because the course is spot on and it's amazing, but I've just been punched in the face too many times by these greens to enjoy it. I'm very glad to be done with this major.
I felt like I played very solid golf. There are no blowup holes at all in the whole event, but way too many bogeys that were just barely bogeys. I hit 83% of the fairways, and yet still only 56% of GIR because of the slopes and mostly the wind.
Speaking of the wind, I am SO tired of playing the wind properly and having it have no effect, and then playing for less effect and having it blow the ball like crazy. It's hard to believe, but I think the wind frustrates me more than anything in this game, even putting.
72-71-71-68 = +2
46 pars, 12 birdies, 14 bogeys. Nothing crazy one way or the other, just couldn't ever gain momentum.
Lots and lots of this...

Very similar scores to mine every round the best I could get to was -2 under then dropped a shot back to -1. My rounds were like birdie bogey, birdie par bogie just couldn’t get anything going at all. Except the chipping which was very good because I did a lot of it.

So after shooting a 59 on a course in another society event, decided I would try to finish this after all, missed a 5-foot birdie on my second hole back in this tournament. Proceeded to miss a couple more relatively easy birdie putts on the next few holes before making a couple really hard ones, which tends to be par for the course for me. Then missed a 5-foot birdie on the first hole of the 4th round and a 7 foot par on the second hole. Also lipped out from 7 feet on 11 and missed a 9 footer on 12. Still had a 64 for my best round of the tournament though, wish I'd shot like that for the first 3 rounds (and, y'know, could make short putts in general).

It must be a rule that I can't putt while playing in this society.

What a garbage performance. Missed a 5 footer, a 6 footer, and an 8 footer, had 1.5 putts per hole for the round. Kinda got bailed out by an albatross on 17 (which was still only a net eagle). Ended up shooting 63 gross, 65 net.
