Well, so long CC-A, never thought I would have a real chance to stay up there but wish I would have been 4 strokes better. I get my shot at CC-A this week. Hope I can keep my play where it's been for the last few weeks. I have to admit, it was fun getting both the "welcome to CC-B" and "sponsor's exemption to CC-A" emails the same day. I'm also glad that I can have access to my xbox again. In-laws were in town, plus I was working the entire weekend. I haven't touched a controller since Friday. Itching to get back to it!

I took 2 weeks off and it literally helped my game tremendously. Just sort of rebooted. Everything was fresh and fun again. The difference between CC-C and CC-A is so small. I went from "C" to "B" to "A" and now back to "B" in basically 4 weeks.

I forgot that it was a major this week. That's pretty cool! This whole CC Moving Month thing is getting kind of nuts. Aren't the promotions outweighing the demotions? I feel like the result of this is going to be gigantic fields in CC-Pro for the next few months, which will make it even harder to fight your way out of. Anyway I'm happy with where I'm at this week especially since I just remembered about the major thing. I've never been within 3 strokes of the lead going into the last round before! (CC-C) I know I have an opportunity for a win or runner-up, but I'm just going to focus on not blowing up and missing the exemption chance. I would be thrilled to finish in the top 10. I had the same target as yourself (top 10) going into the third and final rounds and thought I had blown the chance of a win with the last round. It was tough final round scoring though in CC-C and I was fortunate enough to pick up my first win on the game. Felt like a long wait for that final leaderboard to be updated...

Well - round 2 seemed easier but I did not score as well, extra length? Not sure, better winds but was 4 worse in round 2. Weird.

-4 and -6 for me with only 1 drop shot between the 2 rounds. My swing is still all over the place and I did a lot of good scrambling. I'm happy with that score. Until I can swing it straight that's as good as it's going to get.

Damn, I like this course. Tough greens for me, but I’m a lousy putter anyways. Those long par 3s are a real challenge to get close on. -12 after two rounds puts me in that sweet spot — not good enough for promotion (even at 20%), and not bad enough for a strike. It’s a grind out there sometimes.

It’s a grind out there sometimes. Happy enough coming off those par 3s with pars. Designed to be right between 4 iron and 5 wood - had to scramble like crazy on a couple of them.

Improved from rd 1 (+1) to rd 2 (-5), but still feel like I'm in a slump. For me I think it's a tempo thing, things will be going along fine then a slow DS will take me to a part of the course that is not intended to be habituated by gawlfers.

Definitely an off week for me. A few tempo issues and not much magic happening on the greens. My first round -3 looked good compared to my round 2 score of +4. Needless to say I have blown this exemption in CC-B. I would have to play ridiculously well the last 2 rounds to recover from this.
Hopefully I can get it back together before next week.

It’s the time-share promos while you’re there that really bug me. At least there’s free drinks!

You’ll be back up on exemption soon, Justin. Been playing too well recently not to! I’m in the reverse position....might just squeak into CC-B with my exemption, but then reverting to the mean will probably see 5 weeks of strikes! 😗

Swinging and putting is a totally different feel on that game. Just need to get my TGC swing back.
