Tough one this week, as expected! Currently sitting at -13 after two rounds. -5 first round and -8 second round.

Wow. Interesting couple of rounds... Destroyed the course in my practice rounds. Didn't really think about it being the PGA qualifier and being waaay more difficult. Battled my ass off for a -2 in round 1. Had more putts miss within and inch than I would normally in 4 entire rounds. Round 2 was the same. Just burning edges everywhere. Shot -1. Round 3 I was just really frustrated. Shot+1. My 3 worst rounds in TGC by a landslide. Got my sh%$ together in round 4 and putts started falling. Shot a very respectable -6. -8 for the week. Really hope to avoid a demo mark as I just got the 2 back i got for a WD. Crazy tough, long course but not unfair. Just demands your full attention.

Long course is correct. It seemed like every par 5 had a headwind in round 1. Was -8 after 16, then got overaggressive and bogeyed 17 & 18.

Par fives in particular were long, I only remember one time when I had a putt for eagle (missed it - but managed to flop-shot in on a later round for a solitary eagle). Three out of four each round were layups. I guess it makes me appreciate all other short par fives a bit more.

-17 for the week. Atrocious putting. I'm actively becoming a worse putter every week now, it's really frustrating. I can't fix it. Everything I try is making it worse.
It was nice being the CC-B money leader, but I'm certain I won't be next week. Long may the successor reign, I suppose.
Putting. I don't understand it.

I had more chip-in birdies in round 4 than I did putting birdies.

Might B the end of the B for me. Finished level for the tourney, seems ripe for 2 demos which would relegate me to triple C. Game is just not there for me lately, good thing I enjoy playing it regardless of what level of sucking my scores are.
Onward [just not sure if its upward or downward]!

Gonna play my last round tonite. If it's anything like round 3, I'll be getting some demo marks. The greens might as well have been a concrete parking lot for me. My approaches flopping around like tennis balls and putting like I was on HGH. Started out -4 after four holes, then doubled on #7 and absolutely fell apart. My worst round (+5) since Q School.

-12 in round three set me up again with a chance to win!! Needed -8 to tie the lead...
Only made one birdie on front 9 to make it a mountain. Finished with a -6 to finish 2 shots back. My third top 10 (last two top 5’s) in three weeks, and another promotion mark.
MAN I want a win soon.

Finished #115th missing a demo by 1 stroke... Very uncharacteristic tournament for me. Gonna @!$# sh%$ up this week.

One should not play right after returning from vacation. I quit after two horrible rounds of -2 and -3. I'll probably wait until the weekend to see what I have to do to avoid demo marks. Good luck!

Looks like I am in B for at least one more event, but with 4 demos I must start playing better. Still in hols and traveling back today, hope to get a few rounds in tomorrow night. Just looked at the LB, top notch score by my old friend gregfordyce, well done sir! Onward!

Turns out my -21 last week was a decent score, and good enough for a top 40 place. Probably my second best week all season. Recent changes to promotion marks might help my cause if more people switch to master clubs, at least for a little while until they get used to them. Decent start this week, opened with -8, which included a chip-in eagle on the 18th 😎

I've not posted in here for a while as I was part of the Dirtbags League for the last 8 weeks. I've had a great start to this tournament with a -14 round which included 2 eagles, 11 birdies and a bogey. I hit the water on the 2nd hole and thought I was going to pick up an early bogey, but a flop shot saved par for me.
I've struggled a bit with my form over the last few weeks, so I'm hoping this may be the light at the end of the tunnel. But I'm not taking anything for granted yet.

No idea where these scores are from!
I scrapped around for a -3 first round. Definitely a reality check after recent weeks!
Round two was much better. Shot a -12 with an ACE on the front nine from 200 yards or so. Very nice.
-15 heading into the weekend. We’ll see what that leaves me I guess
