So far it’s been a very mediocre season for me. Can’t seem to get it going at all. Just spinning my tires. 3 demotion marks at the moment, sitting in 105th after two rounds with -2. If I don’t pull it together soon I will be down in F before the New Year. I haven't gotten any demotion marks this season, but I haven't gotten any promotion marks either. I seem to be middle of the pack every week. Not great, but not bad. Just there you and me both. Ive had 1 demotion mark (thanks to all the beginners clubs im assuming) and ive had 1 promotion mark, so im even. Im pretty sure i'll be in E forever, it seems to be competition that I cant beat, but wont necessarily lose to, either.
right now im in 50th, and i'll probably end close to there, I may sneak into the 40th places, but even at that, no promotion mark for this guy.

Just did a practice round at the next course. Gonna be some low numbers, boys.
I missed 2 dinky putts from stupidity, had tempo issues and still cranked out -8
Nice looking course though, looked calm and relaxing!

I did the same, played with medium wind and set fast, firm, firm and was also -8 with a bogey and a few missed putts inside of 6 feet! Hoping I can duplicate that for 4 rounds. I would be happy with that!

We are starting to get into Rookie Deisgn Contest courses, so they should ease up some in the next few weeks.
Finding courses designed with novice players in mind has always been a challenge. We should have some good ones coming up.

We should have some good ones coming up. Yes! I have played them all! I was in the contest but didn't make the top 8. There are some great courses in that group! It will be fun seeing how the the CC community reacts. I think you'll like them. I did! :-)

For those that are interested here is the link to a list of all the rookie design entries. Go pick one and play it..... hell play them all! Rookie Design ListThis contest was a great learning experience and I would encourage anyone who has been thinking about designing to enter into the next contest. It doesn't matter how good you are, the community needs designers and you will get good feedback and help. Thanks!

Was getting excited about troubling the top 20 for the first time in my TGCT career but went downhill in Rounds 3 & 4 with the sort of putting that made it look like I was using a baseball bat for the task. Falling back towards what is looking like my normal level!!
Had a quick go round the next course and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to next week. Fun course to play and plenty of birdie opportunities. Toying with having a go at Masters depending on tees chosen. Some long par 5’s not reachable in 2 using pro from the tips.

Deep in the heart of the flock once again. I don't fear demotion, but I think I'll stick here in -E for ever... Nice company here, so it'll be fine.

Welcome to the "middle of the Pack" club! :-) I enjoy the company! That’s all I want to get to these days. Middle of the pack. So much is wrong with my game since we started this season. What a time for a prolonged slump. A slump so bad it’s boring. I MUST be better next week or I’m toast here.

All I aim for is top 90 each week, I ain't gonna be up there in the top 20 week in, week out as I'm too inconsistent, this week proved that as I went +2, -2, -10 -7 for my 4 rounds ... happy to play my rounds and suffer midtable mediocrity

I’ve been trying to use master clubs but there really is no incentive to do so.

I am calling BS on this..... my 3rd round score was all me, missed putts, burned the lip of the cup the whole round. My 4th round score "F" that! I had 8..... yes 8 very fast down swing or very slow down swings! I am not that f-ing bad to have that happen! I was in so much crap it was ridiculous! I didn't have a VF or VS downswing in any of my first 3 round. How the hell does the game change so drastically??? If I had more middle fingers I would use them. Rd 1 (-7) Rd 2 (-9) Rd 3 (-3) Rd 4 (E)
