The Dave & Liz Chappell Memorial Cup @estrella de la Muerte, Round 3.
Mike would walk to the 1st tee, look at the scoreboard and see that good friend Victor Lane was back shooting well again, while pleased for to see Victor playing so well again, Mike has had his measure of late and wanted to keep his streak going. Knowing that he was out of contention this would become his focus heading into his last 2 rounds. Mike's front 9 would start off nicely going -6 for the front, still one shot behind Victor at that point and with Victor shooting -7 for his back 9 Mike would need at least -8 just to catch him, Mike would start off hot with 4 straight birdies but holes 14 & 15 had proven to be Mikes undoing in previous rounds, Mike would make birdies thou and was now in middle of great back nine, 3 more birdies to finish out the round for an incredible -9 on the back 9 to give him a round of 57 (-15) and a shoot lead over Victor Lane their own little rivalry.

Some weeks you're the bug, and sometimes you're the windshield. This week, Darryl was the bug. Nuff said. Great scoring out there.

Victor has been struggling to keep up with the growth of this tour, finding that he’s just not a good enough putter to compete. The first 8 weeks he was on the BCT his average finish was 6th, which featured a few top 5’s and a win. Over the last 7 weeks his average finish is 13th, with just one top ten. He’s been working hard on his game, trying to play smart and give himself chances, but his putter always lets him down. This week was no different... each round was good, but never made it to great because of missed putts. Round 1 could’ve been special, but Victor limped to the finish with just one birdie in the last five holes. He saw his chance to keep up with Thomas and Jeff evaporate quickly after just one round. However, Lane played very solid golf the rest of the way, hitting 100% of the fairways, nearly 90% of the greens (some shots were just on the fringe), and never making a single bogey in the tournament. But as you can see through three rounds, several pars on par 5’s and some missed birdies on other chances, and he’s just not shooting low enough. After round three Victor headed to the RV to get hammered, because playing as flawless as he did and still seeing Thomas at -50, kinda makes the whole thing seem pointless. Despite his poor attitude and massive hangover, Victor went out and shot a beautiful -13 in the final round, putting him at -50 for the event, his best tournament score ever. It was hard to be happy about it though, since the leader was -50 after just three rounds. So, it was back to the RV for more partying.

Finally put the finish on a tourney I had left early in the second round..... borrowing a chainsaw and having heated words with the designer had crossed the mind but a couple days to get refocused helped tremendously! Played the last two and three quarter rounds beautifully. Found my putting stroke again and can honestly say I left maybe three shots out there over the last two rounds. Dry spell in the middle of the second cost me dearly. Headed to the rockin camper to see if victor will party with me or tell me to GTFO 😂
Edit: finished up at -55 should have been in the low to mid -60s 😛

I don't know what to do as far as TGCT goes anymore. I find the bct a lot more fun in that the test is in judging shots correctly instead of just who can hit it straighter. It's a fairer test and has certainly changed my opinion on the mandatory proclubs for all tours topic. I can hit it straight, albeit with a controversial method that has caused me api pulls, (still a factory ds4 and ordinary fingers for the uninformed) but the thing is for me if I cant make the ball go where I want it, I'm not enjoying my time playing. I also feel like dominating the bct is sort of a douchey thing to do and I don't want to spoil the fun of everyone here by shooting near impossible scores. This -65 had a lot of luck in there sure, but I'm using things that only PGA guys even attempt, such as 95 percent shots to eliminate a wedge from the bag, or what I would consider advanced short game shots that lead to those extra few birdies throughout the tournament, to name a couple.
I know I'm an extreme outlier in my experience with season 5 so I've not taken the survey to voice my opinion but it is simply this, I don't belong on any tour. It's sad really, this is a great community of which I'd like to remain to a part, but I really can't stay on bct after reading that my scores are demoralizing. I know you didnt mean it that deep Eric, and Dan but it's true. I'm just not going to spoil the fun for everyone just so I can have a little myself.
I have recieved pms asking about how I set up my shots and what not and the short game piece.. That info is coming via stream for next weeks event. I think after that I'll just hang out and see what happens for season 6. Got some mini golf courses coming to help bide my time!

Don't feel like you need to leave Thomas. You do what you want to do. My comments were all in the heat of the moment and i didn't mean to sound like an idiot.
You scored great and all the more power to you for figuring out a way to do this well! I envy your brilliant play but i will never want you to stop playing so we can all be better off.

I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong Thomas, you're just better than me. I'm still responsible for the shots I leave out there on the course, and I certainly do. What I'm saying is, for example after round 3, if I had made the putts I think I should've made then I would be in touch with Jeff, Daniel, Mitch, and Mike. However, you're still 5 shots ahead of THAT even, so I'm not saying that YOU are demoralizing, but I just know that I am never going to average -17 thru four rounds of golf. That just seems so out of reach to me, and again, you're not doing anything wrong, that's a ME problem. I felt the same way with Master clubs on the pro tours when I was in Euro and Web. I'm struggling to make cuts, meanwhile the leaders are shooting scores that seem so outrageous that it sometimes feels pointless. That's all I'm saying. Besides, it's all relative, because I'm sure the guys in 40th place on the BCT leaderboard could say the same about me, so it is what it is.
The only thing I question is that you've made public that you have a "method" that is very close to toeing the API line, and that makes you really good even on PGA. So if you are using that same method in BCT, you're basically unstoppable. That's just the way it is I guess.

The Dave & Liz Chappell Memorial Cup @estrella de la Muerte, Round 4.
Playing for pride once again entering the final round wasn’t what Mike was looking for but the goal of catching Victor and having some bragging rights around the VR would be nice, and with the added bonus of Darryl having finished his rounds at -52 there would now be added incentive.
The front 9 couldn’t have started any better making birdies on the 1st 8 holes and par on 9, the back 9 would start off in the same fashion with 4 birdies in a row, but then a stretch of 3 pars with birdie putts that just didn’t seem to want to fall would leave him tied with Darryl with 2 holes to play, Mike would birdie on 17 and par 18 to finish 1 ahead of Darryl and claim bragging rights for the week. His final round score of 59 (-13) for a -53 for tourney should be good enough for a top10 finish and an outside chance at a top5 spot.
Great scoring this week grats to all.

So if you are using that same method in BCT, you're basically unstoppable. That's just the way it is I guess. I'm on bct so I don't have to care about my swing, I couldn't miss that giant blue line if I tried, so any advantage of the method in question is very much diminished. I haven't seen my charts for the past couple weeks but I'm pretty sure I'm well off that line at this point, certainly haven't been pulled again, simply because it's not necessary to be straight and I'm not worrying about it at all. That was my point about the bct, the swing itself is mostly irrelevant. I don't think I have any advantage when it comes to that here
