LOL @ Not trying to stir the pot... I just want to praise players for not being other players. Of course nothing negative against the other players I just want to praise guys who aren't them, because that's something great It's like an "Accident Free" discount on your car insurance. You get in an accident, even if it isn't technically deemed your outright fault (often because it's impossible to prove fault), your car insurance is probably going to go up when the policy renews. Don't get in any accidents and the insurer might give you a discount for not being those other drivers who get into accidents, even if those accidents aren't technically their fault. It's a message about the people being praised (not getting into any accidents) a hell of a lot more than it's about those who had an accident - regardless of whether said accident was a direct result of the person involved, or merely due to something else outside of their control. All the same, avoiding those accidents is a good thing, but heaven forbid we say "good job" for that!

It was either no playoffs or a simplified version (knockout) for the pro tours.
Writing this from the middle of a forest so I'm going to get back to my family vacation.
Hopefully Tim can fix up the field before the cut!

Proud to say, that after some careless driving in the 2nd event @ Pinhook Saddle, I've been accident free for 39 straight events. I've been shite, but I've not been DQ'd, so there's that If my -22 doesn't make the grade here, I will blame everyone but myself, specifically Pablo for the skating downhillers on the 144's in R1. I suppose that I'll be proud, if I can maintain my current WGR, that with all the treacherous behaviour in these parts, then it will have been an achievement that during a year in which I've not given much of a @!$#, I've not gone backwards at least.

Welp I pretty much shot myself out of the playoffs unless I somehow come up with a super-amazing second round. Knew it was going to be 'that type of day' when I pulled my second shot on #1 and left myself with a 40 foot putt, which then subsequently came up 2 inches short on the correct line. A fast downswing on two put me into the water and I was playing catch up from there out. It could have been worse, I had a couple of fast swings that took the ball into the forest on the left of a couple fairways that happen to hit a tree dead on and ricochet back into the fairway. Still that won't be enough as -4 is what I limped home in. It was the worst round of all the rounds I have ever played here by about 3 shots. Tournament jitters or just HB messing around with me. It is what it is. I'll try again Wed or Thur to see if I can pull off a miracle round to get me inside the cut, but I'm not betting on it.

Really liked the course here but it absolutely hated me back this week. No cut for me - almost made it onto the leader-board for the event below My season was OK. Started in the Euro battling against demotion to Web, turned it around (by jumping platform ) and ended here. Plus I can count myself as part of the virtuous group untouched by the API , so there's that I suppose. Anyone <2 has my utmost support tho. Have always believed in the benefits of openness.. a little count next to the name on the leaderboard showing the number of API pulls... would allow the people competing in it, to determine the probity of the competition. Rather than having to guess or engage in rumor and speculation.... which can often be more damaging than just talking about the facts.

Typical HB bullshit that I'm getting these last few weeks. Play first two holes of the event, birdie both, and lining up an 8 foot birdie putt on three. Internet cuts out. Game puts me back to 2nd tee. Lose my sh%$ and speed golf the next 35 holes. Cheers then. Huh. Lots on HB’s shoulders. Hey at least you bear no responsibility. 😉. And you’ll probably still beat me. Ha HB have nothing to do with my internet cutting out, I get that, but why not put me back on the same hole I got disconnected on, with the score I left the game with?

My internet shut off on me when I hit a tee shot on whatever hole after it stopped in the fairway. This was AFTER I'd made a 10-foot curler on the previous hole for birdie. When I turned it back on I had the SAME DAMN 10-FOOTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cut line will be -21 this week. Bank on it... I guess I should be cheering for that if I’m already in (unless one specific scenario of 1-2 happens this week). These wonderful knockout rules will benefit me while depriving a bunch of worthy finalists.

What is leading on PS4?
Please tell me our resident Aussie has broken -50 and my Round 4 bottle job was inconsequential
