This weeks course by @spartan4knight is was scheduled in a unusual way, it is the first course ever to be scheduled exclusively through twitch. All conversations about the course were done either through Taylor’s twitch streams, other people’s twitch streams as we were both watching but never my twitch streams. Why is that I hear you ask, because you people suck and never watch.
When Taylor heard that his course was going to be on tour, he was very excited. He was playing on the challenge circuit at the time and made a vow, he was going to get promoted and play his own course on tour. Getting a course on tour is a honor, getting to play your own course on tour is something special. Something about his determination touched me, inspired me so taking money from tgctours petty cash, I hired the best video golf game coaches money could by. There were setbacks along the way but Taylor worked hard, put in the hours, would not leave anything get in his way. It was tough, both physically and emotionally. There was some drama on the home front but that was sorted by a heartfelt talk, just imagine any sports movie montage and you will know what I am talking about. Of course with this being golf, not the fastest sport in the world, the montage will last about five hours. So I will met you back here in five hours.
Your back, good, that was exciting stuff, in a slow methodical way. I especially liked the part where he spent 20 minutes looking for his ball in heavy rough, determined not to drop a shot by rehitting. That jump for joy as he clutched his ball in his hand after he had found it is a image that will stay with me forever. It was also proof he was ready, we signed him up for a promotion event. He played out of his skin, approach shots were spot on, putting was sublime, he was doing it, he was going to get promoted, promoted to the Euro tour. Way to go Taylor, way to f*****g go.
Good luck every this week playing the fantastic Hanging Lake, except Taylor of course who is playing Bandit Ridge.

Great course and also excellent write up again Dan.
Rd 1 in the books. -10 which included a water ball bogey on the 7th. Unfortunately there were occasions when I experienced some quite bad lag. It happens on the PS4 more than it should and you end up going for fast swings to keep the slows at bay. I love the risk reward holes, and there were a couple of holes where some of the fairways were traps especially with the wind direction. Good luck folks. The grip it and rip it folks won’t win here.....

I've finally climbed my way up from CC-B to A, and won last week to get a promo up to Web.
Unfortunately for me, that also means a change from Pro to Masters!
Played my first 2 rounds and will be watching the cut at -9. Hoping to squeeze through to the weekend on my first attempt!

Definitely one of the easier courses picked in a while. Most of the greens were pretty flat. The pins on the fourth round were a bit tough, but if you can place your shots, a low score is easily attainable.

Going to be sweating the cut line all week now Good news is, I had no tempo roulette to deal with this week Bad news is that I forgot how to putt in rounds 1 & 2. Missed 9 putts from inside 10 feet. Finished up at -13 after 2 rounds. If I do make the cut I will rocket up the leader board a bit. Went -11 and -10 to finish at -34. Could of been real good if I putted better Goodluck all this week, and a big kudos for Taylor @spartan4knight LOVE the course!!!

Yeah. Keeping an eye on the cut line this week before playing my next 2 rounds, fighting tempo I, 2nd round. -7 1st round and a mediocre -4 2nd to finish at -11.

After finishing third last week, this weeks first couple of rounds were a struggle. My tempo was good, no issues there, my hitting the ball straight and some woeful putting were the problem. I missed some fairly straight putts, six under for the first round, including a silly bogey on the last. I played better in the second round but still made life hard for myself, nine under or was it ten,but again missed easy putts. I did have an ace though, second week in a row on tour and that helped my score big time. I am not sure what the cut line will be this week, I think I will make it but it will be close. The quality of players on the web means you can never tell. Good luck everyone still to play.

Shot pretty good with -16 after 2 rounds. My putting has finally came around after missing several cuts. Finished 16th last week which was my best on the Web Tour.

-6, had a nice little run going, then missed a putt to go -5 thru 7. I got on the par train till around 12, then had a bloody double bogey. Scrapped around to bring it home.
Lots to do round 2, will be sweating the cut again. Think I’ve missed it by one about 4 or 5 times in the last 6 events... Not good enough, just.

Just an absolute raffle of timing. I think slow fast is my least favourite. This was why I stopped playing, had hoped it had improved but nup. It’s obvious some folks have it worked out by the scores they’re shooting on XBox, so it’s a me thing.
Anyhoo - GL everyone, see ya’s next release, or in a few months. 👍

First rd a solid 63 (-9) followed up with a 66 (-6) through poor approaches/putts; -15 at the cut should be safe, onto rd's 3 & 4 later in the week.
