Am I right in saying top 20 gets promotion marks on this tour? Who should I speak to if I don’t have one? 🤔😅

I spat out my coffee when I saw my name in the top 10 this morning. Was a clean -6 but I expected many scores to beat that.
Not gonna stay there, but gotta say I have a warm feeling right now.
Oh wait, the coffee. Gotta change my shirt.
Onward!

Hi guys,
Don't ask how, but I managed to get myself promoted to CC-C through playing in the promotion event... So, this is goodbye for now and wish me luck; I'll need it! ;-)
Best wishes, Frans

Bye, Frans. I hope we don't see you here for a very long time. I mean that in the nicest possible way! So not my best first round at Orchard Lake. Did well off the tee, but my approach shots were terrible. It's hard to score well when your birdie putts are from 25-35 feet the whole round. But my lag putting was decent and helped me limp home at -3. The rational part of me says that any time I don't have my A-game and can still finish under par, it's been a successful grind of a round. The emotional part of me says, "Damn". EDIT: Corrected score.

Clean -9 in Round 2 to sit at -12 overall. Approach shots better and putting a little better. Still, a long way to go before I'm competitive for a top-ten spot. Good choice for a course this week. Having said that, selecting a course by Big Cat Wayne is a guarantee of that, isn't it? Hope everyone's putts bend just the right amount to get into the cup!

Bit of a step back in rd 2. got it to -2 at the turn only to give both back on 10. Never got in the groove, did birdie 18 to finish -1 for the day and -7 for 36.
Improvement, but hardly promo mark worthy.
Onward!

Taking my time this week with my rounds. Slow start for the first two rounds. Both shooting -1 putting me at -2 at the halfway mark. The thing I noticed and finally caught myself doing was rushing to read the greens. Playing TST style, was almost guessing instead of really looking for the break and at least trying to get the correct side of the cup and speed. It’s felt like that lately. And glad I hit the parachute to slow myself down for that.
Switched controllers back to my Xbox elite. It’s like going back to my PING i3s. You know it’s steady and will get the job done. So I treat the SCUF Elite like the Hogan forged irons I use to play when I was younger. Main thing is, putting the ball in play in the fairway and hitting my approaches on the green consistently. Round 3, it seemed to all piece together. Missed a short putt for birdie on the first and in my head I’m thinking, here we go again. Gave myself a birdie chance on every hole except for one. Front 9 at -6 and could’ve been better. Burned the edges all of the back nine. Finished R3 at -7. A good feeling to find the swing again. I think that is what really has me hooked on this game. It feels so much like real golf, where tempo comes and goes, along with being able to read greens and make clutch putts. Once you find “it”, you don’t want to let it go. Such is golf though. One more round to go....

Welcome this guy to the CC-F flight, after shooting just okay in the promotional event (formerly CC-G). Love this game hardcore and can't wait to compete vs you guys. Shot a -3 first round and then a darn good -8 for my second round putting me at 19th overall. Yet to play my 3rd and 4th but will probably do so tonight. Gunning for the top spot ladies and gentlemen!

Gunning for the top spot ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to F-Troop! You'll have to beat my -3/-9/-7 by a long shot. I'm still looking up at the top from way below. Waaaaay below. Here's to all of us yet to play Round 4: Don't screw it up!

I dunno if Mark Longley is on the board but that guy has a flair for the dramatic. On the verge of demotion and sitting top 10 after 2 rounds.
Good luck to everyone. This course was very kind to me this week (it helps that I actually learned how to swing and that the wonky wtf happened shots were to a minimum- I swear this game has a mind of it's own sometimes)
