Hey all. Thought I would set up one more week for you all. I'm off to play with the super-duper players and get my butt handed to me thrice over. Thanks for the company, good luck to all of you and hope to see some of you soon.

Birdied 3 of the first five holes, then 3-putted 9 and 10 to fall back to even. Ended up at 67 for -5 for the round after a pretty good finish, should have gotten to -7 actually. Of course then I went out and shot a 58 in the second round. I'd imagine -19 should be enough to get me through the cut.
EDIT: Decided to keep going. Didn't make quite as many putts in the third round. Did end up 8 inches from a hole in one on 11. Shot a 63.
Was doing well in the 4th round, -6 through 8, then put my drive behind a tree on 9 and my second shot in the water and bogeyed. Got it going again on the back 9 to get to -9 through 15, 3-putt bogeyed 16. Finished with another 63 for -37 overall. Too bad about the first round, think I could have finished in a decent place if not for that.

After a slow start to my Euro career with a 65 (looking up in disbelief at that 57 posted already) I got my game together and holed a few putts across the slopes to finish 61,61,62 for -39. Few players on PS4 at -45 and one at -46 so not unhappy with that for my first go, hopefully a solid mid table finish.
Good luck to everyone else still playing, go well!

Was excited for my first Euro tour event after getting promoted from CC-B. Well, I let the nerves get to me and I did not play well at all. Rounds of -5 and -6 leave me at -11 and likely missing the cut. Hopefully I got rid of the big league jitters and can settle myself down for next week.
My question for you guys is related to demo marks. If I don’t make the cut(which I likely won’t), then I don’t need to play rounds 3 and 4 correct? I would hate to get a WD and get multiple demo marks so wanted to make sure that wouldn’t be the case if I don’t bother with my last two rounds.
I see that with no marks that 120 and under gives me a demotion mark. Is this 120 tallied after two rounds then? Or is there motivation for me to play rounds 3 and 4 to avoid placing below 120?
Alright, done with the noob questions, sorry guys. Hopefully next week I’m above the cut and not worrying about it!

if you miss the cut you don't have to finish R3/R4. The guys finishing below 120 will be sorted from R1/R2 only so no point in playing R3/R4 other than for fun if you miss cut. Good luck next week!

I was consistently inconsistent this week. Solid start at -11, followed by -6 that included a bunch of lag swings in including a 50 yard almost unregistered very slow downswing into the water on the 2nd hole for a double. Round 3 was a much better-15, and an ok finish at -9 for a total of -41. Should be a decent finish, but left wondering what could have been had the front 9 of round 2 not been so bad.

hi guys, new to the euro tour this week joined tgct just as the previous promo week happened, so been on CC, trying to hone my game; switched to masters soon after joining tour, so had some dodgy weeks following that, then gradually cleared my red marks, then started playing well and getting some high finishes. Was all building up to the next promo week, then my first round was -5, and i was VERY disappointed. Thought i'd blown my chance after waiting weeks. But followed that -5 with rounds of -12 and -14! Held on in the final windy round and got promoted all the way up to euro! I was hoping for web, in truth, as i think euro might be a step too far. Especially as i'm still adjusting to no MPH on the wind meter. When i hit those real low 2nd and 3rd rounds and realised i was probably gonna make pros, i adjusted my game settings to start getting used to it; it's been an adjustment. I also run VERY hot and cold with the putter...with an emphasis on the cold! I've recently started not playing tourny rounds unless i was feeling good, and wasn't feeling good on sunday and monday, so i've been late(ish) to play my first round here. i shot a -11, happy with that Been reading that crazy locked thread in PGA, hilarious! Hope it's a bit more friendly here?! Good luck all

So I finally put together a decent week and am comfortable I'll be able to put some food on the table and heat the house for the next little while. Best round was R2 and had a solid R4 to put me at 40-under for the event. Worst luck in the tourney was on that par 4 that has all water on the right and trees on the left - don't remember the exact hole - but I overplayed it safe, smacked a tree trunk on the left rough...bounced all the way through the fairway and into the water on the right. Doh! Didn't help my next shot was 6 inches from being perfect but stopped just outside the yellow slope behidn the pin - would have been an easy tap in for par, but had to settle for bogey. Missed a few putts I shouldn't have but I also drained a couple long ones and had some real good recovery shots balance out the entire week. So super happy with the result. Hope to stick in the top 20 when everything is said and done.

Came out slow this week and couldn't get my approach shots to stick inside about 12', left with a lot of birdies sitting on the edge of the cup when i did have a decent putt. Scraped out a -6 in round 1 and bounced back just a bit in round 2 with a -8 to sit at -14 for the cut. I have a feeling I will miss by 1 or 2 shots though. Tied for 8th on Xbox so that's all I care about!

As someone coming from CC-A to Euro on XB1, oh man this is going to be tough. Shot -11 through 2 rounds playing my B game. Currently 108th, maybe I'll avoid a red mark just barely. If I ever make a cut, I will consider it a personal victory.
