Firstly id like to say i really enjoyed the course on the whole. A few funky tee shot kicks where i missed fairways by an inch and had 76% lie stung and playing most the par 5s and driveable par 4s like a clown really stung but consistency is lacking. -10 thru 8 in r1 and was flying then i missed "bobs fairway"on 9 and had to settle for a par. I then proceeded to miss an easy 5ft putt by losing concentration and smashing it over the cup. Then didnt read a 4ft putt next hole and it broke hard on me leaving me screwing with a -16 first round with wat could easily of been a -21 without breaking a sweat. But thats golf for ya. This course is all about leaving yourself the good bad ones because i started to chase because i knew four -17s could be the score to chase but in chasing i missed a lot of pins on the wrong side. Amateur mistakes. This course your better being 10-15ft on the right side of the hole than attacking and risking leaving a 6ft from hell on the wrong side. And i had a load of them it seemed. Good luck all to play. Im actually enjoying trying to get my game back but just not quite there yet! Im backing rknfrewrld to win this week Oh sorry hes playing on his xbox as #cckinthefreebum π

I had fun playing the course. I love thinking off the tee and being punished in the rough which I was in my fair share. A little off tempo so my scores werenβt great. -25 half way and like -52 to finish. Really curious where the cut ends up. I may not make it but I am not angry either. Canβt blame the course this time!

Griffin Ray did a few years back. I would argue itβs harder to shoot that low in 2019 given the loft restrictions, tempo challenges, and lesser spin from TGC2. For what itβs worth, that round was in TGC1. It was also on a par 71 course, so -22 instead of the -23 someone would need this week. Hereβs the link to the scorecard: click here.

Welp, played above my level and shot a -20 second round for -37 at the cut. Eagled all the par 5s and every putt dropped. Really enjoying the course lol
Edit: Recorded it so I can share it later this week as well.

Round 1 in at -20! π²π²
I know, I know. ππ
Missed only 2 putts I thought I made. π¬π¬
Missed 1 that had ZERO chance. ππ
Eagled the long holes. ππ
Eagled a 4 and almost a few others. ππ
Missed quite a few fairways to be honest. π²π²
Got lucky on 1 and then drained a 35-footer. ππ
Hit some really clutch approach shots. ππ
Quite shocking on my end. ππ
Waiting for the blow-up. ππ
Good luck and good shooting! ππ

Round 2 in at -13, so I'm at -28, and should make the cut. Round 2 started off terribly, par on #1 which is bad but fine I guess, and then the 2nd hole, I hit a perfect tempo super straight shot (rare for me), thinking oh my, could this be a hole in one? hmm why is the ball flying 15 yards past the hole? Reason: I'm an idiot who forgot to switch from a 9 iron to a PW. Parred it at least, but starting at even through 2 feels like an insurmountable hole this week.

Something is bugging me.... Didn't we used to have a Kris Kringle on Tour? I seem to remember having a bit of a rivalry with him on TST... Or am I going mad? Or was it Santa all along?

Dear Fadgie, Take it easy. And please pull your pants back up. After playing the PGA tourney on XBox and no Ray, I played about 9 holes on the TST to stall more. I turned myself in after it was pointed out to me in here yesterday that it was a rules violation.

Oh I see what's going on. I thought fadge was prematurely getting all worked up over someone being pulled by api. He actually was but that's not the point. I guess Kris Kringle isn't welcome at TGCTours. That's a shame Doyley and co. can't get into the Christmas spirit because I had a present for them.
