Running behind this week as the kid took up my time yesterday.
Squeezed in my first 2 rounds this morning. Opened with a -11 even with 3 bogeys, I really shredded the back 9 including an ace. Round 2 didn't seem too bad, held my own through the front again and starting to score on the back 9, but then the putter went ice cold as I had tap in pars on the last 4 holes in a row...so just a -8.
I think this is an OK course...definitely don't like it when pins are on huge slopes, but that's my preference as a designer and player. Most of the holes seem pretty straightforward to me, the only one I really don't like is the 60ft downhill par 3 at like, 260 yards. I think I get what the designer wanted but I think this is the only hole on the course that was over-designed.

-12/-8 start in the promo event. Looks like I finally got my swing back under control so hoping to go low this week!

I have never wanted to throw my controller through my computer screen more than I have this week (and it has absolutely nothing to do with the course or the setup of the conditions). Wow am I beside myself right now! I missed SO many puts by inches, it was driving me mad. Not a single bogey the entire tournament, but I couldn’t make anything on the greens (and they weren’t even difficult greens)! I suck at putting in this game, but I don’t suck by missing wildly, I suck by missing BARELY! If somebody could teach me how to make more putts in TGC, I would pay you.

Really cold putting and downright awful tempo problems put me in the clubhouse with a -2 in round 3. Managed 5 birdies and 3 bogeys, what a dumpy round where there was no wind to speak of. I'll be tumbling down the leaderboards after that one. Through 3 at -21.

I know how you feel mate, how can I shoot 15 under in round 1 and then -7 and -6 in rounds 2 and 3, infuriating comes to mind.

I started with -4, and then I shot -11, -9, and -9 in my last three rounds with a bogey in each round. This week could have been so much better.
But -33 in this and -37 in the promo are my best scores yet in TGC, so I am improving.

-10 on each of the first two rounds, so -20 thru 36. Just 1 shot off the masters club lead, which surprises me a bit because of the low/medium winds.
I am sort of playing the villain this week by possibly stealing a promo mark from someone else, since I expect to be promoted through the promo event.

The good news: Round 4 was bogey free!
The bad news: After grabbing a birdie out of the chute on the 1st, I went 10 straight holes with par. Good grief.
Was able to score some on the back 9 for a final round score of -6 and -27 overall. A bit disappointing with that 3rd round blunder for me.
Good luck to all the promo players!

Shot -35 in the promo event with pro clubs, so doubtful that would change me from CC-B to CC-A. Having toured round with pro clubs myself (I have no interest in being in the Pro tours) I would say that should give you a shot at CC-A Eric. There’s a lot of space available in the Pro tours so I’d expect plenty of room will be made available in CC-A. Looking forward to you joining us. You are certainly more worthy of a place in A than I am!!

I think I've played my best golf over the past 2 days...
Promo Event: -39 (-12, -8, -14, -5)
If not for dropping one in the water for double on the 10th hole in round 4, this score could've been something really special. I think -39 with Masters clubs will be enough to move me up, but we'll see how far.
CC-B: -10 and -11 through the first two rounds, currently tied for 1st with Masters Clubs.
Something just clicked and it's a shame I have a job cause pulling an all nighter to finish up these rounds would have definitely been the move. Hopefully I can keep it going over the last two rounds.

Finished up at -35 for the week. As usual, could have been better but hard to complain.
With masters clubs I had never hit a hole in one in an official round before this week. And I had 2! One in the promo event and one in this event.

The pins in the last two rounds were much tougher. Hard to get close even with low winds.
