Well so 18 under was enough after all. Just. Glad I banged out the last couple of rounds now.
Got rid of my final demo so chuffed to bits. Clean slate going forward after grinding away four.
Onward!!!

Man, sometimes I think I'm figuring the game out and then play a round where I seem to have nothing figured out. I'm happy to have made the cut pretty comfortably at -30. Played both those rounds on Saturday along with HTF R1 & R2, all of which were very solid rounds.
Played the rest of HTF on Monday and man, couldn't get tempo going and made almost no putts. The mediocre play had me put off Elite for another day. I came back on Tuesday and started out R3 much the same as my last two HTF rounds - suspect tempo and an ice cold putter. Limped around to a 64. I decided to just get it over with and started R4. Oh boy, did things change. I shot -10 on the front side in R4. Still, couldn't keep it going and finished with a 58. Maybe that hot streak will be enough to clear both my demo marks...
Regardless, it's nice to play well and really frustrating to have such inconsistent play.

Stuttered my way around the first two rounds. Enjoyed the course but it didn’t give me a lot of love back. Disappointing 17 under at the cut including a ridiculous double humph in Round 2.
Must do better says the school report. Always did, always will.

Must do better says the school report. Always did, always will. Same score for me at halfway Ben. Almost all the blame on the greens. Must have missed at least a handful within 7 feet in those two rounds. Nice course that. Gettable. Think scoring will be very low.

Well I tried to play the first round but after I clicked the play round thingo it just sat there with the endless spinning dots. I haven't got time to wait for it so I'll try again tomorrow. Dunno what these clowns have stuffed up this time but it's getting bloody annoying waiting around for a million years just to play a round. Ranked match play seems to be unaffected, of course.

Another one in the -17 missed cut club. A 'par' 60 in the first round was OK. Struggled to get going in the second round until I holed a really nice long chip for eagle on 12. At that point -16 with 6 to play. Hit every green from there but didn't hole a putt until the 18th. Shame, I was really enjoying the course.

Welp. -14, -7 for = -21, blackjack. Round 1 looks really good in comparison to the field, round 2... sucks.
Decided to play tonight for a change and to break my usual workload down a little so I'm not stacking everything to a same session. Thus, more time for sweating, yet I should be making the cut. Although, I made it way too close than needed after that round 1. A damn shame really, would be looking much nicer to give a chance to erase all the red I still have left if things went a bit better. Now, I'm probably booting away 1 of 2 red marks and that's about it unless I hit big (which I want to believe in but I highly doubt).
With 4 more events after this, at least I should no longer get the kick from this tour before the end of the season! Big win to me, seeing I thought I might be headed for the exit at some point with some horrible playing form not too long ago.
Cheers, good luck!

Finally got round 1 done, -14 so hoping for something similar in the second round tomorrow. Nice course, parts of it reminded me of a course just down the road from me that I play every now and then (my home course is a bit further away).

Welcome Back to scoring Double Digit Under Par Rounds and perhaps making a cutline! That second round was a doozy! Don't go in the water. Don't go in the water. Don't go in the water. You went in the water.

Well it looks like I'll be around for another week at least. A second round 60 leaves me at -17 and I should miss the demo's at that mark. Another dreadful opening round left me with too much to do. What I'd give for 2 good, honest opening rounds...
Good luck to all those playing rounds 3 & 4.

-12 second round so easily making the cut at -26. Hopefully can keep this up for a top 10 finish after a few ordinary weeks.

Round 3 = (-9) Round 4 = (-6) Total Score = Same as finishing 78th Place. Gor rid of one red ball and that's like winning!

-9, -10 finish to crack -40. Too bad it's a few shots off from promo mark territory.
Just need to find something in my game to get those few extra shots back and I'd have a chance to compete! Or maybe I'm at my absolute limit, good to make cuts sometimes but not ready or capable to push further. Sometimes I feel like I'm at that second point, until I prove otherwise to myself.
EDIT: oh yeah and no bogeys this week either. Couldn't get any back from there for once!
Mission to knock off last demo mark next week. No chances after that I believe with the playoffs looming in the near distance.
Cheers, good luck!

-12 third round but couldn't get anything going in the last with -6 to finish at -44 in a tie for 23rd. Coincidentally I also finally found some form on the real course today as well, hopefully keep up the form in both forms 😅

Another week, another disappointment. 18 under at the cut which will be a few shots shy again. Enjoyed the course.
