Give me my moment please lads...this doesnae happen very often...
Second round was -8 I think so -23 at halfway. I’ll still be around for the weekend (woop woop) Still three behind hippy after two, there’s always someone who just has to spoil things eh 🙄😉

Who puts out of bounds around the edges of the water.. This course has OB along the edges before you go into the drink on most holes.. I thought I caught a break when my ball stopped short of the water behind the green on 14.. NOT.. I got the ole' out of bounds message.. The most ridiculous out of bounds choice ever for a designer..

Started out with a -13 and that was with missing about 4 makeable putts. R2 started even through front but came back -8 in back. -21 after 2. R3 was hit and miss. Made a charge late but knocked the tee shot OB on 18 but was able to save par for -10. R4 was the most troublesome for me. Just couldn’t hold anything close. Lots of putts from the fringe and 3 lipouts. The 187 got to me a little bit. -8. Goal was -40 but fell short at -39. I can live with that. The wind got tiresome, probably should have taken a break before last round. Fun course, good luck.

Hung onto Hippys coat tails for the best part of 60 holes then got f*cked over on the stupid par 3 with the Grand Canyon halfway through the green, fast ds into the lip of the trap with a 59-67% lie with the ball level with my chest, lost interest from there but only bogey in 72 holes, hopefully another solid top 10, missed too many putts in r2 to compete and parred two out of three par 5s which killed me in those winds.
Fingers crossed that Scotty holds out and doesn’t get pipped at the post from some watcher, there we are then.

Put on a clinic in R2 with -14 including a 3 putt par on 9 and failure to birdie 10. But sort of ho-hum the rest of the way with lots of flags at the top of the down swing (half of you probably have no idea what I’m talking about).
Maybe I can earn back that 5th check!
Edit: 11/14/10/8 for a -43
And I agree the course played a little unnatural and unfair as 187s.

Assuming he got hit by the fair play as he isn't on the leaderboard this morning. That is really going to sting.

My swing is all over the place. I've developed a push that mixes with my pulls, and well, that ain't going to cut it! 😭😭
I rage played Round 1 after not knowing which way to aim. 😠😠
Had some semblance of a round of golf in the 2nd. Played the wind beautifully. Enjoyed the challenge. Still can't putt worth a goat's ass. Half-assed got my swing sorted. However, I had to use a coat hanger, can opener, epoxy, and matches. Got greedy on 18. *doink* 😜😜
Missed cut for me. 😭😭
I just HAVE to get my swing sorted. Quickly. 😳😳

Fuming mate, putted like a beast. Didnt hit it nowhere near as good as last week and get pulled using same pad ive used all season. Took my time looking at shots and shaped a lot into to wind. Genuinely thought i had earnt the chance to challenge this week by the way id managed my way round the course and wake up to the email that hadnt even came into my thoughts.im open to any discussion the powers that be want to have cos summat has got to be sorted and thats my lot in this thread this week.

Sorry to hear that Scott. I know how it felt when my scores were yanked when leading the Shriners, after what happened last week this has to be much worse for you than that was for me.

That flat out sucks mate, I don’t know to what to say other than I’m gutted for you, I only hope someone comes in with a better score cos no one wants to win at someone else’s expense, I certainly didn’t feel like a proper winner last week.

Wow. Why have I not played this course before? Might be my favorite of the season here so far! -12 in round one is a fine start, but par on both par 5 holes on the back 9 left me feeling like I could have been a bit better. - 9 in round two is another solid, if not spectacular round. Wind got me at times, but enjoyed the template holes of various holes I've played before. The Biarritz hole/green is getting overdone, however, as I think I've played that "hole" on tour about 5-6 times now over the last couple of years. -21 thru two rounds and hoping to not tumble down the leaderboard over the weekend like last week.
Edit: When did the titles change? I don't want to be confused with the true legends around here!
