Cool signature Marco!.. Love the trophy cabinet Thanks mate. Got inspired by a couple of others I came across. Looking at your signature I think our flags are from the same series .. total coincidence I might add The trophy cabinet is a work in progress, but hey I'm here for the long run

Well if I read it right, I am coming in 123rd among active PGA card holders (and Jules) in the 125 player field. No pressure in PGA start #2.

Cool signature Marco!.. Â Love the trophy cabinet I just had 14-15 for round one. Carded a -6 but felt I should have got to -10 with some near-made putts left out there. Saw the 9mph for round 2 but unable to play it at the moment. I gotta bear down all 4 rounds here, I really want to make it to the tour championship round. Made some changes to my putt game and it is feeling pretty good. We'll see how it goes.

I've been practicing in my little tour I set up with winds similar to the tourney (at least for 2 rounds). I'm extremely scared I may not even make the cut with the way I'm shooting on this course. My putting is reasonable but my distance control is seemingly lacking. Round one has some incredibly hard fairways so you have to hit the green which is challenging with some of the pins but not impossible. Sadly, I'm finding myself always just missing the green by a foot, hitting the fairway before it, then bouncing completely over the green. Need to practice this a bunch more. Best round has been -8 but that was with like 4 chip ins . Can't rely on those. I won't even go into round two which is supposed to be easier.

Funny story from my round... Followed the masters champs ghost ball around during my tourney (i mean who wouldnt huh?!?) anyway during round 4 hole 5 or 6 pin was right at the front and i watched his ball skip all the way to the back but didnt leave the green, i did the same but mine creeped off the back and was relived i could flop it but laughed because he couldnt and i knew it was a brutally long putt.. and sure enough from some 80-90ft he sinks this putt for birdie. I flop to 6 foot and miss my par karmas a b%&!! Yeah, I saved that putt. I'll have to post it later. I gave a large fist pump and roar when I sunk it.

67-69-69-65. Didn't play a practice round as I had zero expectation of getting in, until this afternoon. 1st round I played better than I expected with never seeing the course, but I left a lot out there in the 2nd and 3rd, with winds down a bit. I probably gained a few shots with the last round, which was really tough. My only concern is if -8 makes the cut...I think it will, but probably not by much.

Played round 2 and shot -4 for the round, expected much better in the 9mph wind. I'll wait to to see if my -10 after two rounds makes the cut before continuing.

I'm sitting at a precarious -9 after a terrible 71 to open the tourney. Haven't missed a cut in a long time. Hoping -9 sneaks in.

71-62-62-70 for a -23. This was my worst putting performance maybe ever. I fully expect to be bottom 10 in putting this week lol. I probably had 10+ 3-putts and even had a 4 putt in there somewhere. I had 100% driving accuracy in rd 1 and then just shat the bed on the greens. Had 6 birdies in round 1 coupled with 5 bogeys, mainly 3 putts. 4th round was more of the same, I hit some good shots with the wind but just could not putt for the life of me. Oh well, just hoping to make the cut and hopefully my 3/4 rounds bump me up a few spots. Yep, so far with the round 1 scorecards posted I'm dead last in putting lol. Officially had 32 putts with 3 3-putts, really should be 33 with 4 3-putts though because one of the holes I actually putted my first one off the green so 2nd was a chip back on and then another putt to make it. 4 of the 5 holes I bogied in round 1 I actually had birdie putts on. So sad

Only played one half of one practice round in the last three days. Wasn't expecting to make it into this field, so I was a little unprepared going in. But I did have enough memory from playing this last week to help me remember where not to put a few shots. Figured that since I am sitting in 123rd in FedEx pts out of 125, I don't have a lot to lose. I can drop two spots at most.
Round 1 I started out well with four birdies in the first six holes. After that I was still striking it reasonably well, but missed two or three putts that perhaps I shouldn't have in the 8-15 foot range. Two putted most of the rest of the round and went -2 over the last twelve holes for a -6 that I felt like I should've done a little better with.
Round 2 was a very good ball striking round as a whole save for a couple of holes. The tee boxes were up, but the hole positions were more difficult as a whole. Good planning on the design there. Had ten birdies and one disappointing bogey for a -9 total.
Sitting at -15 through two. I think I've done enough to make the cut, but I'm not used to playing in these ruthless fields just yet, so I am only 80-90% sure.

In my practice rounds I have shot everything from -1 to -8. I find myself normally struggling for birdies on the front nine and making up 5 or so strokes on the back, so when I was practicing and was -6 after 9 I was ecstatic! Then I parred the next 8 and birided the last. I so suck LOL.

So how are the winds? I saw 12mph first round, but have heard 18 on sunday? I'm on PC like you. Saw 14 mph in round one the most often. Round two I remember several approaches with 10 mph winds, but sometimes it was 9. Only hit my tee shot on the first hole of round three, and it was in 7 mph wind, but that was just one shot, so take that with a grain of salt. Obviously haven't played round 4, but it sounds like a round of grinding it out.

Any guesses as to where the cut will be? Because I think that virtually everyone will be playing and the field is strong, I'm gonna say it will be pretty low. My guess is -9, and -10 wouldn't surprise me.
