This week on the web we are heading to Killarney G&CC by nickweis. This course is one of my personal favorites, it is also a course that can be very polarizing, a course that not every one will like. The red slopes on the greens can be intimidating but the red slopes on the greens can also be your friend. This week is about accuracy on approach, hitting the right spot on the green which at times will be no where near the flag. Play the slopes well and there will be plenty of birdie chances, get it wrong and it will be a fight just to make par. There could be adventures for many of us this week, so my advice this week, take your time with approaches, plan those shots carefully and a little prayer now and then would not hurt. Have fun and good luck.

Beware the heavy rough on the fairway next to the green on 8. The flop went 120% on a F/F.

I played my first two rounds early this week and after missing the last two cuts was determined not to make it three in a row. Both round started well, with 4 birdies in a row, I was hitting the ball well and more importantly, my putting was good, both for birdies and making sure I did not drop shots. Back to back bogeys on the back nine of round one because of silly decisions making,derailed my scoring a little but I managed to recover for a -8. No such issues in the second round with a bogey free -11. So cut safely made,I played a few holes of the third round but after a few mistakes, decided a break was in order and will play later in the week. The birdies are there guys, go get them.

-8, couple of putts left out there, but played well. Would have been -9 without the rough on fairway issue, but I’ll take it. No bogies, no eagles.
Very different course with the wind from the direction it was, as opposed to the default setup. Played easier despite the stronger winds I thought. Definitely a course you need to take your time on, or it’ll bite you on the a55. Only 3 guys played on XB, a -7 and a -2 chasing me.

All good mate, seen it happen on the top tour as well. Just one of those things. Wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t such a sour lil b!tch... Missed a heap of short putts in R2, 3 of them for par which cost me. -8, -4, should make it I’d think.

Really nice course, keeps you thinking, i hit lots of good shots that were just a yard or so short which rolled away down the slopes.. probably going to see a wide difference in the scoring because there are lots of birdies out there if you do hit the right approaches Really enjoyed the last round in the low winds, holed pretty much everything in that round -9, -7, -5, -15
Winner will probably be about -43...so an outside chance of a top 10 but we will see.

-7 -13 +1 -7 I was happy with my game. - 13 on the hardest round and then everything went to hell. I was - 3 tru 5 and I thought I'd finallu have a chance at a good finish but two triple bogeys in that round said otherwise and my head went away. Played like crap since then. 30 birdies and 5 eagles but 8 bogeys and 2 triple bogeys with 2 of the easier rounds wasted Nice course though

The greens are ridiculous. It shouldn’t be impossible to hit a putt down a tier and stop it. Before I’m told hit your approach better, XBox tempo doesn’t always allow you to be that precise. The penalty for hitting an errant approach shot shouldn’t be an impossible putt. I even had one that pretty much stopped, crept over the edge, go straight over the hole and roll off the green to 30m.
Horsesh!t double on 18 after hitting the green. Finished -22. Top 30 or 40 I think, but we’ll see.
Gave the course 2 stars. If the greens were playable (ie - no impossible putts) I’d have given it 3.
Great shooting Vicki, top 5 for sure I think. 👌🏻

Seems you have a reading problem, or a comprehension one. I explained fairly clearly that my problem was with the greens, and I stand by it. Any time you need help understanding basic English, let me know, k champ? Edit - wasn’t a bad shot when I found your little patch of rough on a fairway either 👌🏻

You'll have a laugh looking at my score on the leaderboard this week... rage quit. I don't know why I bother anymore.
I'm +48 thru two rounds.
