Much like last week, I think this will be short and (not so) sweet:
-9 -10
-19 at the cut - which I very much doubt will make it, since conditions through 2 rounds are actually 'medium' rather than 'psycho'.....
EDIT: Just opened R3 - and we're back to psycho.......
EDIT2: And R4 - even more psycho......
EDIT 3: About 13 greens in each of the last 2 rounds are sensible - 4 or 5 each round are either 'stiff it' or 'dead and pray'. Finished -32 after '3 flopping and 2 putting' one par 3, and double flopping a par 5. Only plus point was up-and-down of the year on 9 in R4 - slow downswing 2nd shot, left me 57 yards up 71 feet, off a massive red slope - got it to 15ft and holed it.

-6 -7 for -13 at the cut ... Had a few horrible tempo issues in round 1 including a very slow off the tee on the 9th that left me right in the sh%$ ... Who cares anymore anyway

Nice course! I enjoyed R1 and R2. VWP Dale.
-16 at the cut, which I highly doubt will make the weekend. I quite simply didn’t putt well enough.

It's a game of two halves........

Couldn’t putt and tempo was crap equals missed cut. Wasn’t into this week.

-7 -9
-16 at the cut. Not good enough. Made two bogeys when I 3-putted two severe downhilllers.
Other than that I played pretty good. I was really a bit unlucky on the greens. I have counted 4 lipouts and had another three or four putts that missed by less than a smidgen.
Simply shouldn't be this week. More luck on the greens and I could have had a pretty competitive score.

Was ready to jack it in after my 2nd bogey of the Front 9 @ the 9th. Anything off tempo pretty much equals a bogey (if you're lucky) on some holes.
Managed to channel my rage in a good way for once and shot 26 on the Back 9 for a 58 - holing a 25 footer @ the last for eagle.
Despite this, i stand by my previous post.

This felt nothing like a real golf course for me and was the straw that broke this camels back. I managed to complete R1 (just) which was a real struggle, won’t be playing R2. Fed up of the randomness of the game, and haven’t enjoyed a Tour Round for a long time so taking an extended break. Not sure when or if I’ll be back so take care everyone. Have a great xmas and all the best for 2020.

Finished 61-60-63 for -38.
Scored better than i expected to. Missed a few putts in R4 i'd expect to make. Annoyed i didn't make -40. But so thrilled it's over i'm not that annoyed....

Ive been playing TST more now. There is no need to manufacture difficulty there so the course feel more real. I am not good by any means but making progress.

Maybe, just maybe this is cut no 2 for the season.
-20 at the turn - may even have been good enough without the ‘creme de la’ otherwise occupied. Course is a bit more lenient this week and allows little errors (ie not perfect) without the penalties seen in recent times.
I did however notice that my PS4 suffered quite a bit of lag/stutter on occasion - fortunately no water was involved - so it only cost one shot mainly.
Obligatory loss of control on rd 3 making it a par fest. Anyway hopefully make the cut and lose 1 Doyley red ‘un.
Play well all,
DP.
