Thought I would take the initiative and start a new thread for season 10. I had a hiatus for most of season 9 but back raring to go for 10. Unfortunately I came out stumbling and couldn't break past Even par this week.... time for a bit more practice.
Welcome and good luck to everyone else this week!

I am running a matchplay tournament for anyone interested. It is CC players only. Come COB Thursday, whoever is signed up is in unless I hit 64 players first. It will be flighted. More information here.

Spent this off-season getting used to the razer as I wasn’t happy with swing or scores with stock Xbox controller last season….and boy is all the practice paying off. Fired a personal best -38 week one to finish t-2. That earned me a fast track promotion up to J. Kept the train rolling securing my first ever TGC victory week 2 at -35. Promoted to CC-I. Came out firing with a -15 rd 1, stumbled with a -5 rd 2, but rd 1s score kept me in the mix at t-1 through two. Hoping my -20 for the last two rounds is enough to secure my second victory and 3 for 3 on promotions to start this season 10.
Confidence has never been higher getting closer to special event number 1 where I look to post something low and jump up a few ranks! Cheers to everyone throughout TGC who’s given tips/tricks, played alongside me while I silently learned from, and to the ghosts I’ve started using to learn course strategies!

Made the tour this year, and already getting my teeth kicked in in CC-L. I wager there is no chance I make the cut at +16, I don't think the math actually supports the cut line moving that much. Do I get extra demotion marks for not finishing even if I don't make the cut? or does that only happen if you DO make the cut and don't finish your rounds.

Two demos automatically if you do not finish your rounds.......try to get as close to the cut line as possible......grind it out.....may get none if you already have existing demos or only one if you are close.

Promptly posted an even par around on moving day with a double on the 18th. I'll figure out how to play in the correct order one of these days.

Keep in mind that you only need to play the first two rounds if you don't make the cut. I generally play the first two rounds and wait to see if I make the cut. If I do, then I play the next two. If not, I wait until next week to play the next event.

Well posting even and +2 for rounds 3 and 4 was a bit of a confidence boost, good for practice anyway.

Anyone else's scores not showing up on the Leader board? My name is under the "players list" but no scores populated to the leaderboard this week.

Is it just a quirk of the leaderboard that it doesn't show all the players? I at least know my scores are counting, but just curious if this is a normal thing

I got my demotions points accurately based on where I was in the score board, so it might have just been a one time thing.

Q HoneyBadgerHacker This is an FYI to have this week's course fixed before it is used again. And also a warning to other CC golfers. On the 17th hole, I regrettably shanked left and down a wooded slope. It took me 5 strokes to get back on the course. That slope should be out-of-bounds, it is impossible to escape from reasonably. So heavily wooded you cannot see your swing, determine the slope or see where you are hitting. Now, you could argue that it's my fault that I did not take an unplayable, but since it was not out-of-bounds I thought it should not be too hard to escape. (Not complaining, this is actually my first feedback to a scheduler. Just want the course to be improved.)
