Up here on an exemption this week.
-10 for the first round, which I'm happy with as my aim for this week is to avoid a strike and secure my A card. I'm off to a good start.

Damn this game is so fun to play this week If round 1 was just stupidly lucky, round 2 was what it would have been without luck, still played really good but lots of "almost" moments for a good 63 R3 was simply put the absolute best i have ever done in this game, no crazy luck or holed approaches this time, just lots of "easy" birdies and better putting than usual for a all time record score for me, 56 After 3 rounds my goal is still just to get the card, Problem is after this start i kinda feel i have to aim higher, making the 4th go from what should have been a calm, low pressure round to a nerve wrecking 20mins before even starting the round... But still, i just love this course for some reason Edit 30 nervewrecking minutes later and i blew it (kind of) 65 on the last round (a score i usually would be happy with) and i suspect my chances for another exemption might be slim but close enough to be a nice wait until sunday. 4th was all about keeping the nerves is line and well, that didnt work. After a shakey start (literally struggled with pulling the mouse straight back), needed some up and downs for pars but no meltdowns, around the middle i got back on the birdie train and started to calm down abit. at 14th i had some sand troubles,must have been plugged or something as the bunker shot just barely managed to get over the lip and a bogey later i was back in shakeytown. managed to avoid more bogeys and was pretty damn knackered in the clubhouse, its a good thing that these situations are a rare occurrence lol as my nerves wouldnt be able to deal with it. Overall a really good result for me this week!, on one of my favorite courses and i look forward to seeing how far it will take me. Good luck to you that still have rounds left!

That's some great golf chilihotkey! I'd say 46 under is a lock for exemption.....or at least I hope it is. I'd hate to think two rounds in the low 50's won't do it. Well, enjoy a cold one in the clubhouse and wait for the rest of us to work our way around the track! Again, Great Tourney!!

Saw that you had an awesome start to the tourney as well Robert. Saw myself at the top spot ingame after R1, but soon after you had taken that Anyways, good luck with the rest of the rounds! 55 deserves a good followup. (dont think you hade played all 4 when i finished?) and hopefully we will get to tee off at web next week!

Thank you, It was by far my best round ever. I followed up with a 61 (-11) I decided to stop as I felt I was going in the wrong direction. I hope I can have one more low round and would love to end around your total.....Like you said, a different type of pressure when your playing for a bit more then expected!

This course is gorgeous, I rangered it a few weeks ago so thought I'd give it a bash even though I graduated from CC-A this week. God this game is a breeze when you're just enjoying it and not worried about the result - ended up with bloody -50! Best of luck xEB50x & chilihotkey, going by your scores so far I'm sure I'll see you both in the Web comp next week

67 start. Played ok but couldn’t get the feel for the greens. Kept over-borrowing. Ah well.
Fantastic course though. Would love to play it in firmer and faster conditions.

-23 after two now, well on my way to securing my A card if I keep this up.
I thought I was doing well and then saw the current top of the PS4 leader board after two rounds was 11 shots ahead of me after shooting an -18 for their second round.

Yep, thats exactly why im doubting my chances for another exemption this week, only lost one spot sofar on the PC board, but there tend to pop in som great results in the second half of the week, and usually Consoles tend to be well represented in the top 20, so often i tend to drop more then estimated from the pc board when the global board get updated. That said tho, its still a really good opening William and Good luck on the last 2 rounds!

Well, I’m done.... finished at -53 55 61 58 61 I’m very happy with the final number, because it’s way beyond what I had hopped for. But I’m kicking myself in the butt for putting the ball in the water on the short par 4 8th two times, costing me about 3 strokes!! Anyway, I’m very pleased, and will wait to see what happens!!!
Good luck to those still playing!

Monstrous score Robert, highest on PC and PS4 is -49 so far (excluding tourists), you've got a decent shot of winning outright with -53 I reckon!

-33 through 3 after today. Kicking myself a bit as I managed to bogey a fairly easy par 4 and then managed to get to within 8ft with my second shot on the par 5 last only to then miss the easy eagle putt.

Pressure was really on in my last two rounds! those nerves were a gangling, but managed to keep my cool and score reasonably well with 61 -11 in both. Had a few lippies and a few sitters, but I can't complain, overall a very satisfying event. Should be floating around the exemption mark so hopefully will be back up in web, which is one of my goals for the year (check).
Total -47

I hope everyone who manages mid 40's can earn that exemption!
