Feels like it’s early 1800s with the French invasion on the PS4 board. Ironically none of them show up on the tgctours board. Mmhmm.

Back for season 5. Not that anyone gives a crap.., Started out the first two rounds at about what I expected
-11 -12 Purposely did not look at the leaderboard once during those two rounds. After round 2 I had a glance and saw mid 30s as far as placement. Should have known. Once a nobody always a nobody.
So I said “suck it up May Jane” and let’s at least avoid a demerit or a strike or a demotion point or whatever the flip they are called.
So went on to play round 3. I know better than to play more than 2 rounds at once...
Started rounds 3 with the higher winds with good approaches on both holes 1 and 2. But gosh darn if anything pisses me off in this game it’s missing under 10ft birdie putts. Why the hell cant I EVER swing a putter straight anymore! Missed em both, one was 9 ft the other 8. Needless to say my attitude after hole 2 sucked.
I was -3 after 7, -4 after 9. Then I got into a bit of a mini groove. By the end of the 16th I was -11. I knew I would not birdie the long par 3 17th...never do. But I was hopeful for an eagle in 18 which would have given me -13 in the wind round and -36 after 54 with a chance to get -50 for the tourney. Anyway, hit a nice drive. Leaving 218yds (calculated allowing for the elevated green) into the wind. Hit my shot (3H I think -211 yds de-lofted a bit). Damn ball catches just shy of the green on a fly hitting the uphill fairway, bounces up and lands about 7ft onto the green and trickling all the way back off the green and down the hill leaving me 32yds to the hole. No problem. Still an easy birdie. Hit a 36yd flop shot. Except I choose NOW, of all freaking times, to have a slow downswing. That never happens to me on a flop!!! Ball lands 5 yds short of the hole and backs up off the green all the way back to my feet. Now I’m POd! Hit another flop fast/fast on purpose leaving a 11ft putt for par. Sliced the putt to the right of the cone and missed that. Controller goes flying, curse words abound. First bogie of the tournament! So I end up with a -10 for the round and -33 headed to round 4.
Wisely did not play that round then. I’ll finish in the next day or two. But no way with rd 4 pins I’m going to shoot -17 to get to -50...which by the looks of things might not even be top 20.
Oh well, playing for made cuts. Story of my life!!!! Can I have some cheese to go with my whine???

I should (?) make the cut, but I did myself no favors in R3 and R4 and finished -38. Here comes the t52nd place or whatever it gets me!

Even though I won't make the cut after my dismal showing in the first two rounds, -8 and -6 , for confidence sake (or the lack thereof) I decided to continue on to round three so that at the very least I would understand what everyone is b%&ing about😜. -11, of course that was without the pressure of knowing it counted. Regardless, looking forward to week 2 and enjoy seeing the scores and the comments from those in contention.

Shaping up that somewhere in the area of -18 to -20 may get a demotion mark. Oooof.
Welcome to the big leagues.

Finished up 63-67 to limp in at -38. Combination of high winds and dodgy pins made the final two rounds a bit of a St. Bedes-like lottery, unfortunately. Oh well, on to the next one!
G/L to those yet to play/finish.

They might miss the cut with that score for 2 rounds, but very much doubt 120th place (and below) is going to be that score (and that's where the demotion marks are - not missed cuts)

Feasible that -18 is in 120th place in a couple days 😉

Didn't play good or bad but meh. Played my 1st couple rounds and shot -11 then -12. Round 2 must have missed 3-4 putts for bird within 10 feet. Terrible!

-6 combined for holes 1 and 2 for R1 and R2, -14 after 36 holes. Drove it good, but approaches were all over the place in R1. Got to practice lots of LW chip shots anyway. Will have to see if it ends up being 1 or 2 negative movement marks. coruler2 I see the weather report has default speed and firmness for all 4 rounds on next weeks course. Is that correct or was you waiting on the designer to give you suggested settings still? I think green speeds were 171 when I played a round yesterday. Chris- The weather report is correct, the designer wanted to keep all of those default for playability.
