I used the punch shot 4 or 5 times per round when I wasn't very good with tour clubs. Now that I figured out how to keep it in the fairway I hardly ever use it. Finished -32 for the tournament. Hopefully it's enough to finish above the strike line. Not expecting it to be a contending score. A bit of luck came to me in my 4th round on hole 6 (I think)...Uphill par 5... hit my drive in the fairway, 2nd shot with my 3 hybrid landed short and right of the green... a couple good bounces and the ball rolled onto the green and started turning toward the flag... the ball loses steam and drops perfectly in the cup for my 3rd ever Albatross in TGC2 (2nd on tour). Don't believe me? Ask Art Vandelay. He was a live witness... or just look at my round 4 scorecard. Unfortunately I was too excited and forgot to save the replay.

Man I think it is more stressful having to get a birdie every hole then needing a par. 2 bogies in rd 2 and still managed a -8. I need one of those eagles that seem to be 1 inch out of the way I’ve seen some lucky GHOST shots that are pissing me off .LOL
I hey a great approach shot and the GHOST kicks it off the side hill and ends up closer then me. Aaaagh. Just like real golf.

Rd 1, cruising on the front thanks to an eagle on 2...-5 at the turn. Careless golf ensued on the back; bogeys on 10 thru 12 really deflated me. Rallied with a birdie on the first par 5 and an eagle on 18. -5 after round 1, looks like I better grab some of those fancy pastries they only have on CC-A before I head back to the Killer B tour. Onward! "...fancy pastries..." LOL!
Well, if it's any consolation, the way I'm playing lately, I'll be down to see you soon in B. The flat stick has really been doing me in lately. Might even try switching putters - just for the placebo effect.

BTW I also was a "live witness" of his other alby on tour. (at least I think I am live) Was quite thrilling TBH. Want one of my own some day. Congrats CiB0RG, enjoyed watching you tear it up!

I turn to the punch often in the wind, as long as I have clear fairway between me and the green.

Ugh, had a rough start on the front 9 in round 2. Made some dumb mistakes. Sitting at -23 thru 2 rounds. Going to have to throw down some real low scores to have a chance. This course is great(obviously, its Pebble!) because its very score-able. However, on very score-able courses it's not so easy to mount a comeback. hahaha.
Still a great tourney so far!

Sometimes I think I just had a bad day, but in this case, I played the 4th round immediately and shot 11 strokes better. lol

Played @roytgc as a GHOST again. Was looking for an around -4 as a goal but there was Roy taunting me with a -7 so I used him. I want to thank him on one hole as I got the perfect read for a birdie. We both ended with -7. So far. 66,64,65. I actually love the wind. Makes it more fun
of course I had 2 unforced errors on 15 with using the wrong club 2 shots in a row. Sigh

Final round of -7 leaves me at -19, so just waiting to find out if I get 1 or 2 strikes.

Finished at -23. Happy with 4 round in the 60s, but not looking at rentals yet. Still have the bus schedule back to the B handy, but I will wait till they add everything up. BTW, round 3 winds...used the punch shot more times in that round than I have EVER used it in all my rounds in this game COMBINED! Yeaaaaaaah, getting on the bus Gus. Killer Bees, I'm back baby!

No offence to whomever the designer is this week but the course seems a little below the normal standard of CCpro.
Noticing fairways and rough all around the place that isn’t usually as “jaggy”.
It’s by no means the cause of my poor play that would be all me and the greens that I can’t play but just my comment, not sure what anyone else thinks.
Also what are the red blobs in the fairways?
Edit. I’m getting lag for some reason so I’m stopping now. Weird sh%$ going on tonight. Probably HB but backswing slow only and shadows losing resolution etc. not sure what’s happening but it’s pissing me off.
