Rough week for me at -36. Played the easier holes terribly. My short game was wretched. My weakness is with the flop shots and it seemed like I had 8 of them each round and failed on most of them. Should have left myself more full shots I guess.
With fairways being so wide...I would have liked to see much higher winds. But course was pretty good.

After a random top 5 last week out of nowhere, I think I will be back to my usual mid-pack finish this week. Opened with a -9 yesterday. Maybe I can improve but there are lots of 480-515 yard par 4s around this track, so I can't see improving all that much. We shall see...

Oh goody, at least we’ve got someone to blame when we have Hurricane Vladimir in all four rounds next week.

And another -6 to finish -31.
This sums up the event for me:

Yeah not sure what's going on there. I thought HB Official courses were all garbage, plus there's reports of bad wind and elevation numbers. Is Summerlin really on the schedule for next week coruler2?

Matt- Yes. To keep to the founders' vision of the tours, we are to use RCRs whenever possible unless they are awful.

The fact that one of the RCRs knowingly (Sawgrass) has false elevations makes me suspect of all of them.

Feel free to skip the Official RCR's if they aren't up to your standards - I say this often - but we'll never please everyone so when it's your turn to be unhappy it's OK to take a pass. When it comes to a fictional or decent RCR, the RCR will win out when it matches up to the PGA event. Hickory will be slotted in at a later date.

-6 -9 -10 -4
-29
Up with the big big boys this week!
Didn’t make enough puts to put any type of score on the board. Played poorly in round 1&4. Round 3 I was -9 after 11 and could only manage 1 more birdie.
Should be good enough for tied 43rd!
Good luck to everyone
