sh%$, I'm sitting here boasting away about being in 1st, and then see that WGR 1, 2, or 3 have yet to tee off. Its still nice to see my 180 ranking so high up.

Since the update i have had no issues with less than 100% shots but then 1st hole of the comp 92% water ball off the tee lol. Had a few that were at costly times resulting in water. But the framerate for me on this course was far from great. Have suffered in the past when framerate as been poor so could just be that. Hopefully next week be back to normal. Just as i thought id rediscovered my swing i have a tiger round.

Another 60 in Round 3 - 13 birdies and a stupid 3 putt bogey at the 6th - left 2 putts short in the first 5 holes then got caught being too agressive

And a 59 in Round 4 to finish at -46. Not enough for the win but hope for a good finish.
Very happy with how i played, just missed a few putts and never quite got to grips with some of the holes on the Front 9

Wow... what a super exciting week/tournament for me this was! After my opening round of 60 (-12), I finished all my rounds yesterday: Rd2: 63 (-9) Rd3: 57 (-15) Rd4: 61 (-11)
Total: 241 strokes (-47)This was the first time I really knew I might be fighting for the win with all those amazing guys on the tour. After my almost perfect opening round, I really had a good 2nd round again, but unfortunately there was a half dozen putts that either missed by an inch and/or lipped out. I went into Rd3 with no pause, and now was the time for probably my best tournament round ever with -15 under Par. I threw darts at the pins & putts were finally dropping (as a few should have in the round before). On the back nine I was totally on fire, making 8 birdies in a row from Hole #11 to Hole #18. My final round was very nice too, but unfortunately my flop shot for Eagle on the 18th lipped out. But even if I had made this Eagle I would have been 2nd on the PS4-leaderboard, but it would have put the cherry on the cake. I'm super happy with that resultl though. I was 2nd on the PS4-leaderboard right behind Mr. Sweeney, who is #3 in the world. So should I be disappointed or anything like that? I guess not, right? In the end it was probably the few putts on the 2nd round that didn't go in, but that's Golf. I'd be very happy if I would stay within the Top10. Beating my personal best so far (T8th) would be like crazy and make me really, really happy.

Edi i followed you around in round one and you seemed to be holing from all.over the place. Great play 47 under second right now? Im atill in with a shout but need a special last 27 holes. Rant time anyway: has this game ever heard of a lip in. I just died the ball perfectly into the hole on a short putt it was bwtween middle of.cup and edge and bloody juat suck.back out. Had it maybe half a dozen timws this week. I hate moaning but its fking bs. Perfect weight in hole perimeter should drop!! A very important birdie gone a miss!

I played very poorly after coming in cold, having not played for a few days due to being unwell.
I somehow managed a 61 in round one after a very poor start, but finished well.
From there everything went south. Rounds of 62,64,65 followed.
The problem all four rounds was putting, I just didn't hole my fair share at all. I haven't looked at my scorecards yet as I only recently posted them, but I suspect that I will be in the mid to high twenties all four rounds.
I'll just putt this one down to a bad week at the office and move on.

Ive had a 12th and a 16th. Sitting at -21 tied for 5th thru 2 rounds. Really neat seeing my name on the front page just hope my 3rd and 4th rounds are low enough to keep me there. Fingers crossed. Good luck all !!!

Made 3 eagles and a 1 on the driveable par 4 for an albatross thru 3 rnds. I also had 6 bogies thru 3 rnds. Shouldve made a run at the leaders but 6 bogs wont cut it. Im holding at 6th trying to stay in top 10. Dang you bogies.

You were putting ao close it was putting me off.my.game! you should of won with that score on not an at all easy course. Ijs (ian sweeney?) Shot 66 first round but played 3 phenonemal last rounds to get to minus 49. I should be near that but usual putting woes. Tried to make an eagle on r3 to leave me 15 under to top.it but made.bogey sadly. Played well though we all seem to be getting much better

Sure I left 4 or 5 out there, but Ian left 8 or 9 out there in that 1st round alone by the looks of it. Winning is tough, just got to keep playing well consistency and hope one week things come together

Well like the good host I am I have left the competition to the guests to the course, looks like I will finish last of the players that made the cut (can't get to grips with the swing yet, no excuse really)
Anywhoo, thank you ladies and gentlemen for playing the tournament at Gladstone Vale I very much appreciate your participation.
Thank you to the TGCTours guys for picking the course for the Euro tour and my next one will be out in a couple of weeks, aiming for the CC guys this time
Again thanks everyone

Couple of weeks ago I was happy like a baby when I made the cut, so what? anquila1978: Great course! Really, really enjoyed it... and also would have enjoyed if I haven't played that good!
