I'm still practicing on this course and am finding it mildly frustrating. The best I have shot is -11 and that was in 1-3 mph winds. The course seems like it should be a lot easier than it is but you have 5-8 holes that can be really bears if you end up on the wrong side of the hole. There are a TON of nerve-racking putts on this course. I missed a lot of them, but thankfully I made more than I missed and only missed one of the comebacks. #17 is a brutal pin.

Well.....i shot 93 in my third round. I just completely lost it.
It won't even matter that i shot that because my horrible 2 round score of -9 won't make the cut.

Welp I matched my PGA Championship score with another -32 this week. Consistency at least. I was hoping to crack the top 100 in WGR after jumping 30 spots over the past 2 weeks to #106 but I don't think my performance this week will help me much. Oh well, I've climbed my Fedex points to #54 so at least I'll get a few playoff events to play in and hopefully can end my season on a high note.

I don't belong here anymore, +3 Rd 1 Ouch. Been there. Done that. Bought the t-shirt. Finished my first two rounds. First round left about 4-5 shots out there, all on putting. Something about this course where a ball looks like it is going right over the hole and it skips. Don't think I hit it that hard but you never know. The edges are concrete as well, had a putt on 18 that spun around the whole hole and spun back at me. Either way managed a 61 (-11). Round two started VERY SLOW with a bogey on 4 that was just me playing a way too conservative 2nd shot chip. Managed to get to -4 after 9 thanks to a chip in eagle on the second par 5 and a chip in birdie on #8 from the bunker. Things really heated up as I drained a long eagle putt and a couple of long birdie putts i had no business making. Finished with a 60 (-12). So -23 through 2... -48 seems to be a bit out of my reach but if I can match the first two rounds, might make a top 5. Winds in round 3 looked... eesh. Since this is a tournament and not a tour, the winds should still remain the same for everyone if I'm assuming correctly. The only difference is since the tournament was created with 8-12mph winds, that is what I think it will be throughout, whereas if it was a tour, the first round would be whatever the global wind was at the time of creation then it jumps forward 24, 48, 72 hours to get the wind for those days as well. I could be wrong on all this, I'm still trying to understand the way wind works now.

I'm pretty sure it's still randomized, and the winds in the tournament fluctuated a fair amount from what I remember.

Round 2: These greens are killing me! Hit a water ball on #4. Had to scramble just to save bogey. Didn't make any putts outside of short range. Very well designed greens. Kudos to the designer. 8 birdies and 2 bogeys for a -6. Coupled with my -9 in round one I just hope to make the cut at -15 in my PGA debut.

Well if I make the cut...
Round 3: Better. I FINALLY made a lengthy putt. This time for eagle on the back 9. No bogeys, but more 2 putt pars than I'd like. 1 eagle, 7 birdies, and 10 pars for another -9.

Pretty happy with my tournament, bit more consistent than I have been lately. Like so many others I left a lot of putts and chips/pitches out there, including taking a double bogey on hole 5 from the back fringe. Don't think I had a bogey free round this week... Could probably have found an extra 10 shots but seems like that's the case for most this week. Still I'm happy with my 62-60-62-64 for a total of -40.

Finished up with another -9. Finished up 63-66-63-63 in my PGA debut for a -33. I just hope I make the cut @ -15. That was my goal coming in.

Sad face...should have walked away with this one if not for my F9 in R1 and my letdown in R4. Had fun shooting 57 in R3 again...seems to be a pattern there! Game's coming back just in time for the playoffs...look out!
Currently T1 with Disturbed but on the wrong end of the tiebreaker but still lots of golf to be played and coruler2 is on a bit of a tear as of late so I expect him to pass us. Plus a few others out there

This could be the first tourney where I make a run to the top of the leaderboard....
j/k I shot 76 in the first round after drinking one too many beers.
