Tight leaderboard this week.. anyone gonna break -40?! Looking at the round 3 scores so far, not sure. -8 is the best so far with max firm and fast greens and fairways and high winds. Yup, you're right, rd 3 was a beast. I came up just short with 65 and 60 for the last two rounds to get it to -39 for the tourney, tied with low score for now on PC I think. That pin position in rd 4 on 18 is... interesting. Other than that, rd 4 is definitely get-table. Couple eagles out there.

Wow, there is a golf god- somehow -11 held on through the deadline. Lesson Learned- check the cut score before playing Rd2. I went in blind thinking I needed to get to -15 and was going for all the hero shots.
my only comment on the course- I like this course (Multiple plays, ranger, reviews), it's strategic and thoughtful from tee to green... but anytime you have to deliberately miss a green to set up an easier chip or purposely putt off a green to set up a chip might be an indicator the green sloping is a bit over the top.

Haha...indeed. BTW, your course Ave of the Giants, is terrific. Very enjoyable. Especially that WTF moment on the 1st tee.

Finished at -26. Which equates to -6 over the weekend. Weak effort but never mind I’m into next week and that’s what matters.

Ha, I love that hole... so many options off the tee- and it looks like a perfect place for Sasquatch to be lurking. That hole, in a similar form, is also on my new course under construction (which I'll have more time to work on, once eliminated from this playoff).

Well Ave of Giants is especially good for alt shot. So many different variations in regard to approach shots. Can't just grip and rip cause the designer is living in our head rent free.

Not sure if he posts here, but congrats to Andrew (GolfBallWhackerGuy) on the win last week. Making birdies on the last two holes to close it out given the conditions and pin positions was clutch AF. Well played dude!

Lol, I thought I might be moving up - but I guess not during playoffs. So you will be stuck with me a couple more weeks I'm afraid! Will try and be gentle
