Finished up with a solid -9 in the third and a disappointing -6 in the fourth round for a Total score of -35
Probably gonna be just outside promo marks*?
*using Masters, so need no more than 14 Master clubs users to outscore me

Lol Crazy Croc, that's what you call a member's bounce! This is my last week before a two week break, off on our holibobs. I think my main aim is to not lose any of those lovely green ticks I've earned over the last two weeks, but I'd love to take 3 in my suitcase... Enjoyed this course in the RRCC, looking forward to 4 rounds on it. Good luck all!

On another topic, that leaderboard from last week really highlights two things: How much of a difference using Pro clubs makes, 18 of the top 20! And Timbr0_T is a player who has been at the very top, no surprise he shot so well. If your want to move up to Web, using Masters clubs is your best chance. 66th place got a promo mark. I can see CCA becoming like a Premier League for Pro clubs players, while the ones who want to move up quietly earn promo marks behind them. Works fine for me!

Thought I would have a stab at the US Open Qualifying tournament as well - wow, that is a tricky course and the conditions in the first round were tough (high winds and FFF). Managed to score -7, which I am actually pretty happy with.
Best wishes, Frans

-29 is good enough for a promo mark with the new 15/5 rules. So is -35. What are these guys talking about?
Its top 15 with master and top 5 with pro right?
Somebody is mistaken here. Somebody clarify.

Welp. Gave master clubs my first shot in 4 rounds of a tournament. That was always the plan as I started back in February in CCe. Move up using pro clubs, get the feel of the game and transition into masters. Now with the new promo mark rules I knew that it was time. Shot -25 and definitely left a lot out there with some unexpected swings. Oh well, feel good about it and I don't think I will go back to pro clubs except for the societies where I have already declared myself a pro club player and and sorted as such (CUCC/Heaven-Hell/24k/etc)

Not very often I shoot -10 and walk off disappointed but that's my first round here. That set up is rolling over and saying "Take me," sadly I wasn't quite up to the task. A few bad misses with the flat stick early on, 4 or 5 VF downswings, a couple of which cost me a shot. Still, that'll be not too far away. I feel like I've got a low one in me here if I can get the tempo down. Fun course, slightly surprised it got chosen but I'm pleased it has. Also played the first round of the qualifier. Not taking that one too seriously but matched fransslabak with a solid -7. That was my better round of the two, all things considered.

Exact same. -10 in both rds I played so far. I could easily be at -25. And I mean easily.
Just screwing the pooch with these short putts.

Ok, ok...I'm trying to calm down as I have the lowest first round score with Master clubs so far!! My lowest score with the big boy clubs and besides making par with wedge in hand at the 1st hole it was a pretty flawless round.
Can only go downhill from here, hopefully I can at least hold on for a Green Arrow...

Done with tourney, -5 and -7 for 30 under total. That should be safe from giving another green tick back, but that's about it. Maybe if everybody switches to pros this week I can get a green tick and 2 red ones the same time? Can't even recall how I managed to get any birdies as I can't remember any apps ending within 10 feet and can't remember any putts over 5 feet falling into the hole. Just about every bloody swing for 2 rounds on the trot shows pretty straight back, then down swing goes 45 degree off to the right initially before tailing back to the cone thingy. Then played the 1st round of open qualy tourney…. at some stage I got so frustrated with the copy and paste swing that I jiggled the stick hoping I could shake whatever loose and the golfer toon took a shot. Jesus, i'm super stupid sometimes - slaps fore head fwiw shot a crap (I thought) -8 in 1st round of qualy tourney only to see i'm 3rd on steam lb when I finished up wit the round. I'd trade that 8 under for a pair of 10 unders in cc tourney in a heart beat

So far there is a definite balance of power this week. Maybe more people have taken the "lets try this masters thing" approach like I did for the first time this tournament.
56 Masters Clubs users have played rounds compared to 63 Pro Clubs users so far, compare that to 60 Masters last week with 90 pro. I know it is early in the week though and not everyone has played.
Showing 1 round of scores, 4 of the top 5 scores are Masters clubs, 7 of the top 10, and 14 of the top 20. We will see what it looks like at the end of the week but this is an encouraging sign I think. This coming from a guy who took his medicine this week and is currently sitting at 102 after a poor first round (hoping my last 3 rounds helped me bump up to top 50 though).
