Fire away. Off to a hot start at -13 in round 1. Couldn't have played any better. Due to finishing 2nd last week, I don't have much to play for. Next week should be interesting with the 15 that make the cut getting promoted as well as the winner taking the tour title. I have no idea what the cut number will be this week.
Best of luck to those that haven't secured a spot for next week!

So playing mediocre golf for the entire season managed to pay off since I got in based on the money list.
Started out ok, -5 for the front 9, but in the first 10 holes I missed 3 pretty easy birdies. Then I had a fast downswing on my drive on 11 and a slow downswing on my 3rd shot and had to settle for a par. Just missed a 15 footer on 12 and 16 footers on 14 and 16. Ended up shooting -8. I hit the ball really really straight except for the 11th hole, just missed 6 birdie putts in that mid-teen range.
Left an eagle chip just short on 1 in the second round. Missed a 20 foot birdie by inches on 3. Finally made a par 5 in 2 on 4 but missed the 34 foot eagle by 4 inches. Missed an 11 footer on 8 and a 14 footer on 9. Screwed up and parred 11 again. Missed a 12 footer on 15. Started slicing it on the last few holes but by that point it didn't really matter and I shot a -5.
Didn't have any bogeys, didn't miss any putts inside 10 feet for once, and mostly I hit the ball really straight. Made some targeting errors but I could have made up for it if I could have made some putts from 10-20 feet, but I missed like 10 to 12 of those.

Another good round for me in the second, as I seem to be making those putts that warhawk137 is missing. Sitting at -25 for the cut, and giving myself another real shot at a victory. Not sure that I like the idea that one good tournament could end up winning the Tour Title for someone, but if I keep playing like this I should have a chance anyway.

Dont worry I'll be there next week to come and steal it from ya

I like that! Now at least there is someone to watch for on the leaderboard next week.
Finished this week at -46 and already 1 back on PS4. Likely a Top 5, and would have been my 4th promotion mark which was my season high. Once again, was in Euro all year from Q-School and played in almost every event. Will just be focused on making the Top 15 next week now to get promoted for Season 6.
With the potential conditions for next week, there will be some real "WOW" scores on both sides of the average. Rounds 1 and 4 look to have very high winds.

-10 -12 -5
Played really solidly the first two rounds and then couldn’t get anything going in round 3 with a couple of bad bogies.
Will finish round four tonight. Does everyone who makes the cut play next week?

This is so frustrating and really sums up my season. Shot -11 1st round. That's really good for me. I'm ecstatic. I'm thinking, oh my gosh, I could "finish" in the top 30. (Key word, "finish").
So against better judgement, decided to play round 2 wed morning (after working my 3rd 12hr night shift), and could only manage a -6. I was disappointed, but thought, if I can rebound in round 3, I might still be able to "finish" (that word again) top 30, which would be a huge accomplishment for me.
Played round 3 wed afternoon (before going to work lol) and shot -11 again!! At this point, I'm absolutely ecstatic! I actually might be able to pull this off with a decent 4th round on thurs. I could go into next week, win the event and steal the tour title!!
So, I go to the website to see if my score had pulled yet only to discover I missed the cut. 😯 I was thinking since there was a limited field, there wouldn't be a cut, just top 30 advance (I think TST is doing it that way, but damn, I could be wrong there too).
I'm completely deflated. I've struggled all season, even taking a demotion to Euro. This is probably the best 3 round total I've shot all season between PGA/Euro and it all for naught (right word?).
Sorry for the long post, but had to "share" my frustration. Break over: back to work.

Played a round or two at Royal Bentleigh. You know that they are going to have to make the greens like lighting and the winds astronomical. If not we are going to have some low scores coming in
