-8, -9, -7, -8 = -32 total
Pretty sure the two practice rounds I played were in the exact same range as well. Apparently I just shoot -8 +/- a stroke on this course, regardless.
Overall relatively solid. I had some passing challenges with swing plane and with swing tempo, but never so extreme that it put me in any real danger, just turned 5 footers into 15 footers. Struggling a bit with Pitches for sure. A combination of tempo and anticipating the impact of wind. I don't feel like I have a very good feel for what downwind or upwind will do to my pitch shot so I'm guessing, with limited success. When you throw in the occasional tempo issue it just muddies the waters more.
I feel like I left a few out there on the greens but reading everyone else's experience I was probably about the same. Some of the short putts are just really tricky and you'd be better off twice the distance but under the hole. I made a handful of longer putts that probably fairly offset most of my dumber short misses. Call it a wash.
Enjoyed the tropical course as I looked outside at the snow here in Pittsburgh.

Rounds 3 & 4 completed.
R3 was a pretty solid round, missed a short putt on 18. Finished -9 At this point Iโm -25 after only shooting -3 in R1.
Round 4, started par, birdie, bogey. I started to take some risks. Made another bogey but got to -8. Iโm on the 18th tee. A par, and at this point Iโd be tied 3rd on PS4, a birdie and Iโd be 3rd on my own. The front 2 guys on PS4 are 3 clear so I know the best I can do is 3rd but maybe I can make a top 10 overall??
Tee shot on the fairway, 160 yards left.... pushed it a bit and the wind got hold of it.... WATER!! Frustrated at my mistake, I click drop wherever the game gives me.... Iโm kind of behind a tree. My pitch catches the leaves.... WATER!!
Drop on the fairway. Hit to 4 feet and tap it in for TRIPLE BOGEY. -5 to finish. What a rollercoaster.
-30 overall. Should have been so much better but never mind. Another decent week.

Just played final round. Shot -10 for a -39 overall. Hopefully good enough for another top 10. Really enjoyed the course this week. Good luck to everyone that still has to play

Thought we might see a more lively thread with some of those greens this week...but a great course, I thought. Every time I was left with a 70 foot quadruple-breaking eagle putt that went downhill a foot, I deserved it for being too aggressive. I honestly think, especially with the short par 4 16th, that whoever plays the most conservative may win this week. Stacking up birdies is better than risking a 4-putt or something.
Anyway, I obviously made some missteps, but am happy overall with a -8,-10 start. Finally had a breakthrough with the swing, as I got so caught up with being "aligned" and swinging straight that it threw off my putting and everything. Got back to just sitting naturally an lo and behold, swing is way better. Still some tempo issues but am happy with 3 straight weeks of solid play. Just need to find some time to finish up the last 2 rounds. Good luck all!

Just played my last 2 rounds, went for it both times, cuz I'm dumb...narrowly missed a tree both times and went eagle-eagle. Forget everything I said. Edit: Went -3, -12 to finish. Crap round followed by a great one. At least some great ones now, so that's progress.

I am not good at pitching so I would rather be 100 yards out and come in with a full swing than 60 or 70 and try and pitch it close. More conservative worked best for me on this course but someone that has a great short game can really go low.

99% sure I'm missing the cut here. First round -4 with four bogeys killed me. Nothing really wrong with the swing but putting and bad decisions killed me. I had played this course somewhere between -14 and -2 and this was just one of those times that the rolls didn't go my way. Hit a great shot just to come up short of the crest of the hill and instead of a 3 foot eagle putt I have a 55 footer. Things like that, blah blah. -7 second round leaves me at -11. I may end up with a strike and if show miss the promotion event, if not may still not play cause I'm no where near ready for PGA limelight. Right now I feel like I can actually play the game at times but have zero confidence in my consistency. Hopefully mouse swing tweak will come out, it will be good and I can get that confidence back. Also hopefully I did enough to beat Ray again.

Woo hoo, -13 should be safe. Not sure about the -12 crowd...

Very inconsistent two rounds for me, even par for the 1st round where I really struggled and then a -10 which could have been better. Another cut missed for me, I'll probably avoid double demotion marks so I should have another crack at keeping my spot on this tour
