-10, -6, -12, -6 for a -34 total... should be good enough for a top 10.

Moving the still to early cut prediction down to -10! Any chance I could get that moved down to -9?

First year on TGCTOURS and excited for the season. I think Top 10s are going to be hard to get on this Tour. Avoiding demotion points is going to feel like a win.

I was -3 after 4 on round one including a flop in :-) Went down hill from then on. I couldn't hit it straight and my putting was poor. Especially a 4 putt on the 8th I finished -1 2nd round was better but nothing dropped -4 See you next week guys.

First real tournament without labeled wind speeds. It took a couple holes but I quickly figured it out. For me it was down to putting. I can take longer swings for longer putts fine it seems and in fact I made several long 25-30 foot putts. Unfortunately on the shorter putts I tend to push them and missed three or four putts under 8 feet, two for par. It is something I have got to work on. Considering everything I had a tough front nine but managed to make the turn and a few more birdie putts, including one eagle putt on 17. A 35+ foot putt on 18 put me in at -8 with a bogey. Definitely should have been lower but first round, new tour and some nerves, I will take it.
**EDIT** Seems like I only made one bogey. Sure felt like I made two, probably cause of the first par 5.

Managed to play my best golf in round 2, including a fast driver-fast 2 wood hole-out eagle on #5 straight into that beast of a wind. Ended with a 63 to get me to -13 at the cut. Unfortunately, that was it for me as the tempo and swing were bad throughout and I finished at -16 for the week. I will take the made cut for week one and hope to find some damn consistency soon.

Shot -7 in final round to finish at -29. Looks like my bad 2nd round wont hurt me as -12 looks safe for the cut. Happy to have 3 good rounds in 1st tourney of the year. Might be able to squeak out a top 25 or 30.

Third round was a disaster. Missed four birdie putts inside 10 feet, chipped over the green on 8 and bogeyed, 3-putted for par on 17, and finished with a fast downswing on my approach on 18 for double bogey. Ended up with a 66. Should have been in the 50s, instead I'm probably out of the top 10.

Swing tempo all over the place. Had a putt for eagle on 17 to put me at -12 through two and comfortably inside the cut line, pushed it as I have so many other putts. Finished -3 for -11 through two and am now cut line watching. Had two early bogeys that came from just bad tempo. Only hit like 78% of fairways and 60ish greens.. 28 putts. If I make it to the third round I gotta figure out the swing quickly and make sure I hit the fairway on the drive.
Overall it is sheer frustration. At times I think I got the swing down and can play the game and other days I couldn't hit a P/P with a putter. LOL.
3 People to finish up second round another 10 having to finish up two rounds and 7 places that can play better than -11 and still have it make the cut. Odds say I see the weekend but I'll wait to play until confirmed.

Based on last year.. I'd say -11 is pretty safe... but who knows with the new tour and new crop of players.

Having put up a +5 in round 4 I'm not sure if I'd prefer to make or miss the cut at -11.

63 68 68 69. -20 for the tourney. Rds 3 and 4 were very frustrating. Several slow or very slow downswings, putting was worse than normal; just two uninspiring rds. Fortunately, the combination of course and conditions allowed for lower scoring and gave me a chance to make the cut; I'll have to play a lot better going forward if I want to keep demotion marks away. I'm not sure I'm good enough to be on this tour, but I'll try to stick around as long as I can.
