-39 again at the finish. Steady Eddie but not going to win anything unless I start making more putts and getting approach shots closer. Not upset with it but certainly would have liked to be lower. Awesome course and a fun week. Good luck to all and catch ya next week.

Jeez deathstar , sorry to have made you mad. Wow what an opening round! Thanks Ron, the putts kept rolling in the way they should on a good day.
You're right about that, the wind and the tougher pin positions made it quite a bit harder so I really had to fight for a -8. Great course though, look forward playing round 3 and 4.

Hmm, -14 has a chance then

Been practicing on this course and just not feeling it. Nothing wrong with the course, it is beautiful. I'm just struggling on it.

After the relatively easy last couple weeks, this week is supposed to be a bit of a kick to the groin. Same as next week I wouldn't call this course a kick in the groin. It is a bit tougher and the winds makes it more challenging but the VF/VF conditions are nothing we aren't used to already. There are just some courses that I get a good feel for, like last week. I may get this one, we'll see.
I feel it is one of those coursers where the top people can probably score -8 to -12 fairly regularly, better if they get a couple of good bounces on the par 5s or the driveable par 4. I've played it before and scored -16 and -4. We'll see how consistent I can be this week. It is a very nice course regardless.

I had a lot of fun trying to grind it out. My highlight was a chipin bogey from like 15yards lol

Cruising along looking great to make my 1st cut on Euro, was -14 after a -9 1st round and a HOT start to the 2nd round (-5 thru 8) and sitting pretty in the middle of the fairway on #9 in the 2nd round... and then.... the Slow backswing Very fast downswing swing into the water, double bogey. Was in shock, followed it up with 5 pars to eventually shoot -16 thru 2 rounds and will likely miss the cut. Frustrating! But loved the track, absolutely beautiful course! Good luck fellas!

I think -16 is going to be very close. -8 for first round is on the bubble but round two is more difficult so it may sneak in.

-13 in round 1, then was -9 through 11 in round 2, and made a silly bogey on the par 5 12th, handful of pars and a bird on 16, then a bad par on 18 to get to the weekend at -22. Safely inside the cut line, and with a couple of solid rounds on the weekend, could get in the top 10.
Hard to complain at -22, but could have been so much better. One of these days I will put it together.๐

LOL I can't believe I'm going to miss the cut here. Loved the course but it just didn't happen. Guess I just have to wait to get out of this bad zone cause I don't feel like I'm playing bad...

I struggled mightily with framerates and consequently with the tempo on that course.
I scored ok though but getting fast downswings almost every time got on my nerves.
So i played all 4 rounds in one session - what i normally don't do - and squandered a relatively good position after two rounds (-18) with two speed golf rounds (-4 and -4).
Playing on PC can really be frustrating from time to time. The tempo just isn't consistent. Sometimes it feels rather easy to get perfect/perfect - sometimes it seems to be impossible.
I played my first round on a PS4 last week. First round with a totally uncommmon controller (i normally use a Xbox 1). And getting perfect/perfect was almost automatic. It's really kind of sad that we don't have a level playing field.

Played my first round and was getting all sorts of weird tempo shots and then in the middle of one, my mouse froze. Restarted the mouse and finished the round with -8 so bleah.
Reinstalled mouse drivers and it seems something corrupted the memory profiles as they were all either gone completely or borked somehow. This happened after the last Microsoft update from yesterday. Tried to reset it but the mouse isn't keeping the stored profiles properly. Finally have reset my system to where it was previously before the update and tried to get the mouse profiles back in order. Tempo was off a bit in the practice round but not nearly as bad. Going to try the update again and see if that kills the profiles again or not. Either way I'll finish up round two tomorrow. I don't want to light another promotion mark on fire again so I want to make sure i'm pretty positive the mouse is going to work properly. Controller users don't have these driver issues so much with updates. :/
