I don't think I'm going to get away with it this week. 64 and 62 for -18, half a chance of two more but my gut feeling is it's a couple short. Missed a couple of short putts in the first round, got an ace in the second off a gray slow, ultimately too many pars on the back 9. Liked the course.

On -18 in Triple C and pretty sure that wonβt cut it there either. Congrats on the Ventura!

Kept it lean for 36 holes, improved slightly in round 2 but will it be enough for the cut streak to live?
Round 1 -9
Round 2 -12
Onward!

Made the cut last week, did nothing with that TBH.
This week looks lost tho, -5 then a valiant -11 to sit -16. Yes the scores are higher this week, but the cut looks out of reach this time.
Waiting patiently...

Waiting patiently... 4 ahead of me Art, I started with 4 straight birds and it all went downhill from there. Tough greens if you were in the wrong spot. Which I was a lot!

Another barely made cut leads to another forgettable event. No demos, no promos.
One more event before hols.
Onward!

Looks like I've earned my first green tick of the season! Very Xbox friendly course when most wayward drives find light rough. 3rd round I was 50% FIR and 100% GIR!! To be fair I was on the money with the approaches.
Putted really well this week with the exception of one little stretch that cost me a second green tick and maybe even getting in contention. 16th in R3, I was flying at -14 and had a 6 footer to get to -15, inexplicably pushed it. I mean my forward swing was at about 2 o'clock. I have no idea where that came from. And then I hit a slow in to 18 which left me a long uphill birdie putt. Always a tough 2-putt on 187's but after putting so well I managed to 4-putt for a double. I mean it was a bit of a funky pin but I should have at least made bogey. Shot 59 and was gutted, not often that happens! Compounded that with a 3-putt on the 2nd in R4 for my only other dropped shot of the week.
Still, best week I've had this season. I've got something to try and hold on to now, for at least a week!

Comes to something when -25 is barely in the top 30 thru 2 Looking a bit like -22 for the cut although I wouldn't give up hope if you're on -21. After a slow start I hit a mid pack 61 to start and then played pretty well last night for a 56 that included 3 eagles. I'll take that on my nemesis 144's any day, actually putted quite well. Was a little surprised not to be a few spots higher on the leaderboard this morning, that's a lot of good scoring! Still, in a nice position to have a go at it and I keep my green tick for at least another week

Round one was a story of missed opportunities, much like McIlroy yesterday except people care about him. Solid -10 but 3 or 4 chips and putts I'd really like to have back. My better half cost me one of them when she decided to come in and start talking to me about real life. I mean FFS, couldn't she see I was busy?
Love the course π

The story continued throughout the tournament. Made the cut quite comfortably with a second round 61, then a 63 and a careless 66 to finish on -36. Every round I played some good stuff but a bad swing here, a putt left short there, just leaked too many away. I continued to enjoy the course though, 5 stars and a favourite from me π
And the most important thing, I keep my green tick for at least another week π

Well, thought I was in CC-C for the week but apparently coming T3 was enough for automatic promotion in my first week in C.
Shot -47 under in my first B week, with my first ever hole in one as well!

Went -20 through 2 and finished -49, think it'd take a miracle for me to make the cut though.

Yep, cut looks pretty nailed on at -23. 62 and 58 for -24 for me. I really don't feel like I played particularly well which says it all about the ease of the course. Very Little Brook Manor! A couple of good putts and 2 clean scorecards was the difference for me. I had the pace of these greens bang on, never once looked like 3-putting when I got out of shape.

Look who's baaaaaaaaack! Stunk it up proper, -2 and -9 which felt ok after 5 weeks away. I will say that after that long a break, the game looks really good. Just My Opinion.
Onward!
