Well, I have my work cut out for me this week. Round 1 could n't have been any worse for me. Struggled with my swing tempo ...AGAIN...kind of baffling, BUT the thing that really kept my score so poor was my putting...I was close several times, but close doesn't help in golf...took 30 putts in round 1 and missed several birdies. All my fault as my approach shots were not good at all...Only went for -6 Is the top 25 streak over? Can I make the cut? Will my good play return? Stay tuned for the week 6 update...

Round 2 in at -11. 😊😊
Had some issues finding the fairway. 😔😔
Made some really nice putts overall. 😏😏
Missed some makers that had me fuming. 😎😎
Hit some quality approaches. 😊😊
However, the long Par 5 can kiss me ass! 😠😠
Lipped an eagle from 165 or so. 😭😭
I will say I've NEVER seen as many putts/shots lip as I have on this course. 😬😬
-21 thru 2! 😏😏
Hope to have a decent weekend and push for a Top-10! 😍😍

Can't complain after my -6 start...on to rounds 3 and 4 tomorrow
Can the streak continue 🤔...sure hope so 😁

Birdied the first 2, then I left a 20 footer 5 inches short on 3 and missed a 6 footer on 4. Missed the fairway with a fast downswing on 5 and missed a 10 foot par. Fast downswing again off the tee on 7 and a slow downswing on my approach and missed the 16 foot birdie. Fast again on 8, slow on 11. Slow on my approach on 12 and missed an 18 foot par. Finally got another birdie on 13. Fast downswing on my approach on 17, then I left a flop 6 inches short. Shot a 70 with 29 putts and tempo errors in all the worst spots.
Finally made a long putt on the first hole of the second round after another slow downswing on my approach. Parred from the fringe on 2 and 3 then 3-putted for bogey on 4. Missed a 14 foot birdie that didn't break on 5. Another fast downswing on 6, which I called before I swung because it was exactly the kind of hole I'd have a fast downswing on. Slow downswing off the tee on 7 into the rough. Second shot rolled into the rough, missed the 20 foot birdie, same on the next hole. Had 4 birdies between 10 and 15, then had a fast downswing on my approach on 17 and a fast downswing on the flop, and bogeyed. Finished by missing a 16 footer by 6 inches on 18. Finished with a 69.
I was actually swinging really really straight for the whole two rounds, it just didn't matter because half the time I'd have a fast or slow downswing and the other half of the time I'd miss the putt anyway.

Managed a -10 last round which I was really happy with. -31 overall. I’ll take it. Normally always one round when I’m just not on it...that was R3 this week.

Had a two week break for a vacation with the wife. First event back seems to be a pretty solid finish, not sure if it'll be enough for a top 10 but should be close.
-9, -9, -10, -7 -35 Total

-35 One of those courses where a very limited group of players will have any short sort of chance to win

Put myself in a great position after R3. Knew it would take something special in R4, but a wooden thumb prevented me from getting close to most of those tough pins. Well played fellow top-tenners.

The streak is over...just couldn't get the putts to fall. Had P/P tempo on all drives, but for some reason my approach shots suffered from F/P or P/F?? I don't know what I was doing wrong...anyway, worst finish for me this season at -29. The top 25 streak has ended...just means I need to start it again And what better time to try and start a new streak, than a WGC event. On to next week...

Only playing this game now to upkeep my WGR and tbh don't really see the point in doing that, only going to go one way since the people populating the top of the leaderboard week in week out clearly feel that winning is more important than playing the game in the spirit that it's intended. Sad state of affairs really.
Not enjoying the game at all, so certainly not playing for fun!
