Well. Do you want to laugh? Today (after 3 days with no internet, then) the technician finally comes to my home. But he is NOT the technician of my internet provider. He works for the provider of the phone's line (here in Italy the old monopolist maintains the control and the responsibility of wires, poles..stuff like this I mean),so he verified that the line actually is fine and the problem is finally with my modem, then he tells me that now I need just to wait for the technician of my internet provider, to have a new modem. I don't know if to laugh or If to kill him, but ok. So he goes and i call again my internet provider to know exactly WHEN they will comes. And the girl of the call center tells me that the day is TUESDAY 17. Ah..the girl was at Durazzo, a city in Albania. But ok. Details. Anyway, when I ear this, I said simply "ok. Don' take this personally, but you work for a sh!tty company. Then, f&ck off. Click". So now i'm going in a center and I'll change the modem by myself. If all this will works as it should, at least tonight I should have again internet. Otherwise..i don't know. We'll see. Then I'll change my internet provider, in the next weeks. Can bet on it. But the absurd thing is that all this stupid procedure is something new..before, they were used to solve everything in, at worst, 48 hours. Is absolutely senseless that in this country things going ever worst instead to improve... Bah.. EDIT : No. Stupid me. It was too easy. After a series of phone calls (to the nearest, to the most distant assistance centre), I finally have this answer : Only the authorized technician can change my modem. There is nothing I can do, in short. Only wait. P.S. : But, meanwhile, after the gentle "f&%k off", the girl from Durazzo, Albania, called me back to tell me that now the technician will comes Monday 16. I'm serious. I swear. So now i was thinking..but if now i call her back again...Maybe with some other insult the technician will comes tomorrow? 👀 P.P.S. : In all this, my girl walks for home laughing at me and simulating a golf's swing (also with an awful, awful style, to be honest. Absolutely inacceptable). I think that if she don't stop it immediately, I'm going to rape her. With the modem. And no vaseline. Only sand. And salt. Imagining she lives in Durazzo, of course.

Round 2 ended up shooting 63 (-8) for a total of -18 through the first 2 rounds. Never got any kind of rhythm going in round 2. Probably won't play rounds 3 and 4 until tomorrow. Going to have to work hard to break into the top 30.

Ezzino, Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the modem. I hope it gets resolved soon. I'm sad too mate, but honestly, above the specific unfortunate issue with the modem, I already knew that this rivalry would suffer some stop sometimes, cause if I should be really unfortunate, for the glitch I could be forced to quit even a fifth of the season. For what I saw in the few month I played the last season, the risk is more or less this. Sadly, it seems there is no solution. Anyway..we'll have soon a chance. I'm pretty sure about this. Monday..or Tuesday at worst, I'll be ready to check next week's course and we'll see Until that moment, I'll simply spend my free time doing things I normally have not enough time to do..practicing with juggling and shooting a bit to the basket and, obviously, playing more the bass. Is not so bad..but now I should also try to play some golf offline cause after all, as Paganini said (I'm not totally sure he was..but I think so. It was said by a violinist, for sure, but I don't remember exactly who) "if I don't practice for a day, I'll notice it. If I don't practice for two days, will be noticed by the others". I wish also start my career&music "blog" here, I'm thinking about the first group to talk about..but I think I find it Meanwhile, good luck for this week's tournament

Had to crank out my final 2 rounds off-stream this morning.
Round 3 was a clinic on approach shots and even though I started a little slow, I put up a blistering -10 number, a bogey-free round including a fairway hole out eagle on the 6th.
I rode that momentum into Round 4, opening....par-par-par-bogey. Crap. Salvaged a couple birdies on what was left of the front nine and headed to the back at -1 for the round, which was disheartening. But I've been playing the back 9 way better all week so I was hoping that would hold true. Hole 10 - DOUBLE bogey. Well, crap. It was at that point that the roller coaster began...5 birdies total on the back 9, an eagle, 2 bogeys and 1 par-tridge in a pear tree. Round 4 ended with a ridiculous -5.
That puts me at -26 for the tourney this week, not enough to make much hay, not enough to catch Victor Lane.
See you all next week.

cephyn,
That -10 in Round 3 is a good score, especially with the wind. I started Round 3 slowly like you, but somehow managed to scrape out -10 as well. That's one of my better scores in high winds. I'm normally terrible in those conditions. Sitting at -28 with one round to go. Will play Round 4 later one. Several things to do this afternoon first.

Played out of my mind in Round 4. Made an ace on hole 2 on a shot that might have rolled off the green if it didn't hit the flagstick, narrowly missed an albatross on 5, survived a very fast swing on 7, missed a short birdie putt on 10, made back to back eagles on 16 and 17, then lipped out a birdie on 18. All told I made it to -13 for the round and -41 for the tournament. I have no clue what got in to me today.

Thanks, Kevin. I have no idea where that came from. I usually struggle any time the winds are up.

Man, one stroke away from a promo mark! Considering I had two bogies this week and a wasted third round, I definitely could’ve grabbed one if I had putted better. I’m already scared for next week since I typically don’t play joegolferg courses very well. My only TGCTours full-on rage quit came at Greenbrier CC last year. Congratulations to Matt this week on the win!

Seeing as there's a few Dirtbags here might as well bring the rivalry in here as well😜 Spent most of last season dodging demo marks by finishing in the 100-120 places, with a -22 for the week should give me a slightly better placing of around the mid 80's

Managed mid table this week but have struggled in here since arriving towards the tail end of last season via the Promo’s. Finding this week’s course a struggle in practice, not my cup of tea at all.

Hang in there, Ben. With time you'll get better. The same type of thing happened to me last season. Missed the Web.com by one shot coming out of Q School when they reset the tours for TGC 2019. Played so poorly on CC-A that I got demoted to CC-B and struggled to make the top 100 in the beginning. Towards the end of the year, though, I guess something started to click because I started to make the top 50, then top 40, etc. The final month of the season I even managed to sneak into the top 10 twice. Point being, you might be struggling or feeling like you don't belong here, but with some time I'm sure you'll work your way up the leaderboard. P.S. This week's course, especially the greens, wasn't my cup of tea either, yet I somehow managed to have my best week so far. You can do this.
