Round 2 was terrible for me. Missed 2 routine birdie putts on Holes 1 and 2, then traded bogies and birdies throughout, only getting back to E on the 16th. Promptly gave that shot back on the 17th, but somehow drained a miracle birdie putt on the last to salvage an Even Par finish for the day.

What a great putt that is - love the way it just catches enough of the left edge!

Decided to just finish my rounds while I had the time.
Another up and down Round 3 finished at Even again.
Followed by a decent Final Round, bogey on the last left a sour taste and -1, for a very ordinary -4 total.
All the best to those at the pointy end of the Leaderboard!

Didn't play well at all, but a triple bogey on 18 in R1 is really going to hurt me. -2 overall... just never got into a groove.

Well that was just shocking from me. Had to do all 4 rounds yesterday and posted a +9 final leaving me with 2 demotion marks after week 1.
Played the 1st 3 rounds of this week's week 2 tournament today and a massive improvement. Smashing it up and TST style at that. Boom! Hoping to clear 1 of my marks.
Edit: Turns out it was only the 1 demotion mark when quite a few peeps were removed - sweet! 😀👍

Wow, I knew Burining Gorse was an easier course but I'm kinda surprised at how low the scores are so far. I shot my best round of the short season, but felt it had more to do with my swing being a lot more consistent than last week than the course. I've only played R1, so I'm interested to see if the conditions in later rounds bring that back down a little.

After earning a demotion point last week decided to switch to pro clubs. Felt a little dirty posting a -11 in first round but the purpose is to compete and get promoted. Seems a little hard to do using just masters vs the other two options.
Plus been only playing for about 8 weeks

Seems a little hard to do using just masters vs the other two options. Plus been only playing for about 8 weeks It’s in the rules so it’s not cheating or dirty. Personally, I’ll be using Pro Clubs until I (hopefully) reach CC-A. That could change if my swing gets more consistent and I could use the extra distance, but that’s my long-term plan as of now

Played first 2 rounds today.
Left a lot of shots out there in the 1st, so many medium putts sliding barely by the hole. -4
2nd Round was a similar case, hazards and hole outs evened themselves out on the same holes at times, -5

Well, that's more like it. Hung a -11 in R4 and should be comfortably clearing my demotion mark from last week.

Finished up my last 2 rounds today and played some of my best golf since this game came out. Round 3 shot a 58 and round 4 a 61 for a total of 42 under. Currently sitting in a tie for 3rd place.

Phew that was nuts! Had school stuff to do all week and finally was able to sit down and play all 4 rounds. -10 every single round for a -40 total. Was nuts, even when I started slow I would suddenly get 5 or 6 birds in a row to keep the momentum going. The final round was my slowest, and I knew I had to birdie 18 for the fourth -10 round which was kinda fun. Hit a pw and it landed just short of the green, bounced at the flag, then hit the hole and lipped out. Had a ton of fun this week and I honestly didn't think I could play like this in 2019. Felt like I was playing TGC 2.

Oh yeah.....double demotion marks here I come!! Just could not get anything going right for me in round 1 (+7) or round 3 (+4). Round 2 was OK (-2). Still to play round 4. This course is hard playing TST style. Battle to stay in CC-D methinks over the next few weeks - the game is on!

I'm still on the fence as to if I even want to play this week. This course is a mess. I mean, what is this?
