Welcome to week 13 on the elite tour. We have quite a few promotions from the first promo event of the year, 45 new competitors in fact, and we had 7 guys move up from Elite to Platinum. The biggest jump I found to join us was from CC-G. Congrats on a heck of a week to those 3 people who made the leap that far up. This week we are headed to Cookridge City by Cottyuk. The designer called this course a challenge that reflects the unique design of Aronimink. Good luck to all the newbies. I might actually get my tournament clubs back out soon too now that my design grind is done. Is it worth risking it with the 3 demo marks? Hmmm.

Hi all! Coming from CC-C this week! Just played round 1 and had my best round on this course yet! -9 with a great start (-6 after 7), managed to keep the back 9 clean, all of that while streaming for the first time! (If you want to see how I did it : ) - From 35 minutes.

Just played my first ever pro first round.
Bogied the first and thought uh oh. But thankfully that was my only dropped shot of the round. Good luck out there.

I come in peace from the depths of CC-G. Played a few practice rounds for this one and thought "we're not in Kansas anymore..." :-)
Course plays tough but fair, I think. Any bogies I made were on me. Ended up my first Elite round at -2, but I had problems with pin set 1 in my practice rounds. Hoping to have a better 2nd round to threaten the cut and at least avoid demotion marks. Looking forward to the battles with you all.

One of the three CC-Gmen who made the jump. Heck of a promo round sir. Welcome. This week's course is tough for sure. We tend to try and schedule up and down in difficulty, never just hammering you week after week after week with difficult courses.

Hi all!
Just got promoted up from CC-B and just finished my first round with a -4. I’ll be just happy to make the cut this week being my first ever pro tour round. What I’ve noticed is that the difficulty of the greens are far tougher than on the challenge circuit (and quite rightly). I’ve been on the CC your since the beginning of this season and we’ve had nothing like these greens on there. Gonna take a bit of getting used to the slopes, just gotta remember to not leave any downhillers.
All the best for you rounds guys, go low 👍🏻

10 sleepy R1 holes first thing this morning before work.....I might as well have been drunk.
At least it looks like a not too amazing score will be needed to avoid the chop. Hopefully I can muster up a few birds when I resume, whenever that is. Perhaps this evening if the good ol' XB tempo isnt feeling too lottery, as it often does here in the evenings. :/

Disaster last round for me.
Doubled the first and it took me about 11 holes to clear up that mess.
Think I finished the rd 2 or 3 under which was disappointing.
Too many putts over cooked.

Too many putts over cooked. ⛳️👨🏻🍳 No fear man, you're going well. This is not the kinda course to be suffering horrid tempo, feel and, worst of all, swing plane. But I've been here many times before with XB so I know better than to bother wasting my time trying to fight it. Hard pass for me this week and back to designing. Good luck out there!
