Cant believe what just happened. After 4 missed cuts and a T58 as my best placement in a non-minor tournament, i finally had the luck on my side. Played a -16 in Round 1 and a -11 in the second. Started R1 with a flop-in and an HIO, -4 after 2. In Round 2 i had a pitch-in and a Albatross Hole-in-one. Unbelievable! Here are the two HIO's and holes 8-18 from my first round. I have literally no way of fathoming how you can go from CC-E to this in less than 1 calendar year...wow, great playing.
Also, is your actual (birth name) Flo? If so, interesting choice...
Edit: P.s. can't "fathom" isn't me saying it's questionable or sketchy, just that I actually cannot imagine getting that much better at this game in less than a year, to be perfectly clear.

Thank you, i benefited from the promotion events. I play this whole game „regularly“ since one year, since then my game improved a lot for sure. Now it is an up and down with more downs . Flo is my nickname, my normal name is Florian, a typical german name.

After the third missed putt of 8 feet, I finally threw in the towel when my 3 foot come backer for bogey slid over the edge of the hole. Not even sure how I missed it. It was a straight in putt, and one of those that you hit it and look away to look at something on the tv. Just had no desire to finish this course. Nothing overly wrong with it but the fantasy aspect, the fact it has 5 par 5s and at least two or three driveable par 4s, I just found it not fun. Every par I made made me feel I needed to eagle another hole just to have a chance at the cut. I'll take the two strikes. Just don't care.
Have fun slugging it out for those alby HOI and where the most improbably eagles win!
Meh.

Played all 4 rounds- it was the best way before I started on the beer- and it all went pretty well.. plenty of swearing (as always), but plenty of good breaks to balance things out. Loved the course- partly because of the great scenery, the elevations and the obstacles- but mostly because I've played it before.

Honestly I rarely play well when it comes to a birdie/eagle shoot out. Just not that consistent. I do better when I shoot a -10 on a course where people are shooting between -6 and -15, where you are supposed to make birdie on 1/3 of them and the other 2/3rd you have to make a pretty good approach or putt. Those that can can do both, have the great rounds, while I"m happy to take my 6 gimmies and shoot 40-60% on the others.

Safe bet the cut line will be -19 this week.

Didn't play poorly the first two rounds, the only thing I couldn't do was make my SHORT eagle putts That alone is preventing me from being near the top...sitting at -24 after two..hoping to get those eagle putts to fall

I just did not have a good 2 rounds for me. I missed a lot of shots that I just don't normally miss. We all have weeks like that. That being said I think I'll make the cut at -20, but there was potential for so much more. Hopefully I can pull off 2 stellar weekend rounds and try to make some moves. Good luck to all those left to play! Looks like we'll at least have 3 XB1 guys make the cut. Hopefully a couple more sneak in there! Keep firing!

Threw out the anchor in round 4. Wamp waaaaamp....
First 3 rounds were altogether positive - though not entirely, but when does that happen anymore - and while I understand the push back on this courses use here, I wasn't up in arms as I have been with previous selections and settings, with one notable exception...
#3putt
I mean...I get the feedback on the fantasy that this course is, and I'm in agreement with it, but it wasn't the worst thing we've every played. Then round 4 happened, and I found some of those pins/shots silly, but I'm also able to realize that I kind of lost interest and should have stopped playing after round 3 - that's something I've done before, just kind of get bored playing the same arcadey course over and over and over, not really much strategy or choice or realism in it, which for whatever reason loses my interest - so ultimately, I think my pseudo-outrage at some of the round4 stuff is quite likely, at least in part, due to my dissatisfaction with how it played out (I had you Virt, and I blew it! lol).
Anyway, it's not the worst things that's ever happened, but yea...would love to return to some more realistic courses, if that's acceptable - and I'll withhold my negative comments since I can't really speak on those with full confidence that my lack of engagement/performance in that last round isn't coloring my displeasure with some of the pins/design/etc. GL all left to finish, have fun.

Round 2 in at -16! 😲😲
Probably used all me luck here! 😂😂
Made some ghastly putts that should've missed. 😬😬
Flopped in. Chipped in. Came close to other makes. 😎😎
Hit some outrageous shots from tricky lies and most of those were from between 185-210. 😏😏
Tried to get cute on some 5er and doinked it in the drink. 😭😭
Made a nice par save. 😊😊
-30 thru 2! 😎😎
Good luck all!

Honestly thought you were going to get me this week Justin. I had a penalty stroke in every round and knew if I played well I could have posted 60+. I was super distracted when I was playing and it caused me to do some stupid things but oh well...haha.

No need for a sweepstake boys - we have a winner!! Serial flicker from the Land of the Rising Sun is the first to win Bully's special star prize... A SPEEDBOAT! Well, actually, for sheer consistency and getting pulled for short swinging 3 times this season alone, he's now DQ'd from majors and WGC events for the year. He hasn't actually won a speedboat Oh mo... It's a shame for Momo. Once more... SAYONARA!

Safe bet the cut line will be -19 this week. Can I play my third round to try to get there?
