As promised, I played this tourney for fun tonight. Did not score as well as I had hoped, but I put up a respectable -31 (-10, -5, -7, -9) nonetheless. My goal was closer to -40, but I was not particularly sharp for my rounds. Putting was especially bad -- so many burned edges. On a more positive note, I managed to go bogey-free for the tournament. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the stream. Click here if you want to watch the archive of the broadcast. Really enjoying reading everyone's comments in the thread. Good luck to those of you still on the course.

Cruelty! I thought -10 would be 4 or 5 shots off the pace. The tiddler I missed on 18 in round 2 is going to haunt me. Now in limbo land, no time to play at the weekend so I'm going to have to play my last two and then watch my score slide down the leaderboard before probably getting cut some time on Thursday night. Sigh.

I went ahead and finished up last night. I must say from the first time I ever played this course to now, I have grown to really like this track. It offers lot's of thought off the tee, and the green complexes are excellent. I definitely paid the price my fair share of times rolling off one of the greens and ending up going down hill with a 17 yrd chip or flop shot. It is frustrating, but expected if you look at the green makeup. I'm not very pleased with my overall performance, but happy to have made the cut to start the season and get on the money list.
Rd1 -12 Played about as could as I could Rd2 -2 Actually played very well, but had one bad hole and was burning the edges. Rd3 -6 Played steady, just never made the big putt. Rd4 -6 Was sitting on -8 after 16, and ended with back to back bogies. Bad luck on both holes. TOT -26

Currently at -15 through 2 rounds and very surprised to see myself in 14th place. Wondering if punishing myself on the daily in silly tough conditions is paying off. My short game is half decent these days, only question is will I be able to keep perfect/perfect tempo or will the dreaded long pulls make a comeback. Good luck all.

Ooooooh that cut line is edging closer, just about hanging in there on -11

Finished up my rounds and went -28. -7, -8, -8, -5.
Managed a decent score to start the season despite 8 bogeys through all of my rounds. That seemed to be the course though....Lots of birdie opportunities if you knock it close, but youโre going to be punished if you miss. The course presented some real difficult flop shots if you missed the green and some very challenging long putts if you left yourself away from the pin. I loved, thought it was a great test and a good course to kick off the new season.

Tough break Jules. Xbox controllers have not been your friend Went to bed in 65th last night, knew what was coming. I suppose I should be encouraged, I honestly couldn't putt any worse than that and I've only just missed the cut. Not sure about the decision to move it to top 65 rather than top 70 either, anyone know the thinking behind that one? And I'm not just saying that just because I've finished T66! ๐ I did finish up. Had a decent round 3 going until losing my tempo over the closing holes and dropping back to -7. Had an even better round 4 going until a terrible double on the last dropped me back to -8. It's a week of nearly but not quite! Really is a great course DoubtfulObelisk, you've always had an eye for good hole design and now you've finally found the planting menus! It was worth all that extra time, great piece of work

Got it to -24 after three rounds with a -9 that should have been a -13 if I could putt. Outside shot at a promo mark with a great final round and....no. -4 to end at -28. Just bad enough to watch the Xbox PGA boys who play our event just for kicks zoom past me on the leaderboard. Maybe a top 30? Oh well, I'll take it.

Scraped into the weekend and shot -17 over R3 & R4 bogey free. Was able to get the ball a bit closer but on the side of slopes making for some tough putts but got it done somehow. Helped by an eagle on the drivable par 4 in the final round. I'll take it for first start of the season
