Welcome to East Lake (TOUR) to the 30 who made it through to the final event of the season. I hope we get a full field of 30.
East Lake certainly bared it’s teeth on the front 9 of round 1, starting with a par 4 I didn’t have enough club to reach (needed a 3w, I carry a 4). Into a 25-30kph wind. Felt like I played really well, apart from a couple of silly short putts that didn’t drop. 4 birdies and 2 bogeys on the front 9, which I feel is a couple better than it could have been, and 5 birdies on the back 9 to finish with a 63 (-7)
Happy with that. Will be surprised if anyone shoots -10 in those conditions, so I’m still in it.
Good luck to the qualifiers. It’s nice to have found a bit of form to say goodbye to TGC2 👍🇦🇺👍

Best get ready to be suprised then Ray 😁 Played first 3 rounds starting pretty well in rd 1 and getting slowly worse.
Hole 1 is a beast in round 1. Blowing a right hurricane into your face and just got on the green in 2. Fluked a birdie too!
Great course but rnds 1 and 2 are windy.
Good luck everyone who is still in it.

But would it kill you to post actual scores?
Had some ridiculous misses in round 2, might have played my way out of it. Got that -15 last round from last week in mind, going to need 2 of them.
63, 68(!) -9 thru 2. Had a +1 back 9 that should have been 3 or 4 shots better.
Guess I’ll wait till later in the week to see what folks shoot...

Hopefully I did well enough last week to sneak into the top 30. We'll see.

Tough course. Finished up with 62/62/65/61, -30. Putter really let me down in round 3.

Ha ha @bigm, you won't get Chief posting his scores for the same reason I usually don't. I bet you sneak in to the cupboard and peak at your Christmas presents!.. Very happy to have made it to this event, this season has been a bit of a slog at times but I've played fairly well over the last couple of months. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to tee off until Tuesday at the earliest, normally done by then. I've enjoyed the TGC2 experience, unlike some it seems. It would be nice to see the game off with a good tournament here, que the fast downswings! Good luck to all who show up, we've earned our spots in this one!

Exactly right Jamie, that’s why I don’t post scores. I did feel a bit bad not replying to Ray, but only a bit...😬 I try to play my rounds early, before any spoilers come up as I don’t like leaderboard pressure and then have a crafty look at the spoiler to get an idea of how I have done.
Anyway finished up now, all I will say is round 1 was my best one, and before anyone has a meltdown looking at the scores as they stand now, we are all 2 shots better than we should be. It was a par 70 so I shot 11 under in round 1.
Going to be an interesting week this with only 30 of us in the field. Another thread talked about who your rivals are, and had to smile when I saw who was in the field this week as there are loads there that I always look out for, people who I reckon I need to beat as we are so similar in skill level. It’s the most consistent 30 players from PGA over the season, so you could throw a blanket over the lot of us in any given week. Not much to choose between us and we will have a very close leaderboard. Every shot counts!
At least now I can uninstall TGC2 and start playing 19. Absolutely crap at the new game so far and well down the field in the exhibition events. I won’t be staying long in PGA at this rate!

I started my 1st round yesterday and the winds on the front 9 were extremely high getting up to 16 cross wind on #8? with the water left. I proceeded to hook two balls in the water and quit. Came back this AM and the wind was 5 MPH for the same shot. How is that possible???
Anyhow, made an 8 and battled back to shoot -4 and followed up with 61 2nd round. Not going to be in the running, but was fun to make top 30. See you all in TGC 2019!!

I absolutely love that I had a chance to make it to top 30. I might have been a bit too excited as all I remember is that I could have done better. I dont even remember all my rounds scores but I'd say somewhere in the mid 20s for the tourney. This playoff will be better and tougher next yr since more golfers will be into it and there will be the same guys we play all year. Good luck everyone and hopefully we'll be back PM me time next yr

First two rounds done, wow that long par 4 on the back 9 is brutal in to that wind! Clean card in the first round for a 61, a few mistakes in the second round and a few missed opportunities for a 65 to sit at -14/-16. Obviously had one of only two fast downswings on the 8th, splash! Actually made a good bogey from 3 off the tee. So could have been better, could have been worse, not too unhappy. Great course, I didn't realise they'd switched the 9's round at East Lake, think it works better this way. Two rounds till uninstall!

Right... I will play my rounds. I will do it tonight. Anything could happen, as I've not struck bat in TGC2 since 2019 dropped, and I've not struck bat on that since Destiny 2 Forsaken dropped 9 days since... I predict mediocrity, a cold putter and a few wild hoyks.
Will be auto uninstall afterwards though. Thanks for the memories TGC2. As infuriating as it's been at times, I've had one of my best gaming experiences with it due to having (almost) a full season to go at it. Great community, and some great rivalry.
