-9 -10
-19 at the cut - may be enough this week with it being a secondary event to the TOC.
Mostly fairly enjoyable so far - a few 'interesting' bits of green sculpting but nothing to whine intensely about.....yet

-9 -12
for a -40 total.
Full disclosure: I flopped on the 18th green in R3 - had about 60ft, massive red slope all down the left half of the green, no way to keep the putt anywhere near the hole. If it's felt I should have putted, then feel free to remove my score - but i didn't see how the putt was viable.

You violated the rules. I won't call you a cheater like you did to me though. Take the two weeks off with your DQ to think about what you've done. π

-25 through two.
56 first round where i could almost do no wrong
61 second round which was a touch more interesting. Two very slow downswings led to parring two of the easiest holes on the course, but i holed a flop from a totally dead position @ No 2 and had an ace @ No 7. Felt a shot or two short but the pins were much trickier than R1 IMO.

Played okay in the first round but wasn't sharp on the last half dozen holes. Missed a few good chances and had to settle for a - 7.
Second round I didn't play thaaat much better but was lethal on the greens.
-14 in round two.
I hope that - 21 makes the cut. Missed a few in the last weeks.

Just stop talking, if you would just stop with the comments for a couple of days or months and just play the game properly, your statements might just hold some water. As it is when I begrudgingly read your crap it sounds like the teacher in Peanuts.

And why don't you let Rob McFlopperson speak for himself. I'm sure he has more hot-headed hypocritical things to say.

Finished 61-59 for -47.
A bit peeved i didn't break -50 (played the Par 5's poorly) but i'll take that as a solid start to the year. Chance of a Top 10 with the big guns missing.
Don't think the winner will be that deep into the -50's. Tricky greens even if you're accurate on approach

Comprende Amigo? He claimed that his line was not blocked only that a slope had to be navigated. Rules are rules. Flop4590 had said as much.

But this is for an unbiased impartial admin to decide not all of his croney partial friends. I trust this matter will be taken seriously. And I will trust the admin's decision regarding this unfortunate possible blatant rules violation and accept it and move on. And hopefully Robflopperonthegreen4590 can put this scandal behind him. Maybe he should stop talking for a day or even a month here and start playing the game the right way and his reputation may be restored to some sort of modecom of semblance it once was.

If your putt legitimately has enough slope where your adjustment would have to be off the green it is legal. Rob, told us so if anybody sees it they can confirm if they wish to. I am not saying his was legal or not just clarifying the rule. β Putter must be used on the green unless your putting line is obstructed by fringe/rough/bunker or your putt is longer than 100 feet, in which case use of a putter is not mandatory.
Putting line Definition: The "putting line" is the line that the player wishes his ball to take after a stroke on the putting green. Except with respect to Rule 16-1e, the line of putt includes a reasonable distance on either side of the intended line. The line of putt does not extend beyond the hole.β
Key wording is Putting Line!

Always the voice of reason. You're right gw, I guess we'll never truly know what happened on the green that one fateful morning. And that there will always be a shroud of mystery to it along with an everlooming dark ominous cloud hovering over Flop4590 the rest of his golfing career. I guess all we can do now is cast aspersions and speculate like usual around here. I just pray this notorious incident doesn't tarnish this Christmas season. ππ»

I would suggest taking a screenshot of the shot just as evidence if a video isnβt possible.
