How many rounds have you played Chris? Did my first two at -3 and -7. Not playing my last two until Friday afternoon as I'm a little time limited this week. As usual, putts you normally make in ordinary games just don't seem to drop in tour rounds...one day they will!!!

Didn't make anything in R1 & R2. 70 (-2) 69 (-3) 64 (-8) Puts me at -13 after 3. I think I need to get to somewhere around -22 to have a chance of sticking around. That may not be enough but I'll do my best.

Impressive none the less mate. Very steady scoring but yeah some pretty low scores looking likely if round one scores are anything to go by.

64 - 61 first two rounds at 12/13 mph winds..then come back next day to play last couple rounds at 15/16 mph winds and apparently maths has changed ..the amount of times i was short of green was amazing , i kept going to replay to see if there a reason but unless a 15mph headwind is now multiplied by 3 to add 45/50 to 6 iron i completely flummoxed (see that used a nice word , and not the one i was using while playing )...last two rounds a 69 - 71 for a frustrating 23 under... At least you're top of the leader board after 2 rounds!

I have 3 rounds down so far. I went 65, 66, 63 and am currently sitting -22 with my final round to go. I am shooting for a -30 total. Yep, that final round wind was frustrating. I still managed a 67 which gives me a tourney total of -27. Was following your ghosts all tourney since you were the top CC-B guy on xbox, couldn't keep up on your third round! Thought I was making a late charge on round 4 when I went birdie,birdie, eagle, birdie at the turn... but then had my only misfire of the round on that par 3 with the big drop and kicked way right into the drink, forced me to drop back at the tee, and ended up taking a triple... just couldn't recover after that and ended up at -24. Loved the course, especially the front nine! Lots of options, risk/reward shots but still fair. Also like greens that reward good approaches if you put it in the right spot.

I think I am living in Groundhog Day. Just like yesterday, just two birdies and a eagle, just like yesterday, made a mess of the fourth hole and just like yesterday, a even par round. There is something very strange going on and I will get to the bottom of it. I have noticed there is at least five people that I have played live with playing here this week, all who I have beaten during live games. Does this conspiracy to stop me playing well go beyond Chris and Kenny? Have my drinks been spiked before my rounds? Has someone been tampering with my clubs? I shall find out, there is no where to hide on the golf course, well beside hiding behind trees, buried in the sand, underwater using a hollow reed as a breathing tube. But outside of that there is no where to hide. There is another ridiculous theory going around. That I am just playing badly but there is no way this can be true, can it?

Solid but unspectacular 1st round of 68 completed. 5 birdies and 1 bogey. 25 putts is low for me. I though it was good shooting but the quality in CC-B seems to have gone way up over the last couple of weeks. I need to step it up if I want to get up to CC-A

And I'd be willing to bet that tonight, you'll play some great golf!!! Hey I suppose we can't all play well, all of the time...heck even Jordan Spieth missed two cuts recently...so chin up mate! ;-) ⛳️

I like your posts, a sense of humor is always a good thing.
I think you have a Fight Club situation going on and you are really looking for the person hiding inside of you.

Hey, since you are on XB1, have you singed up for our XB1 Country Club on the HB Forums? Not sure if you are interested but I know only a few more folks will be accepted before they cap the number. What is your GT?

Thanks for the invite, but I don't think I'd be active enough for you guys! Have a hard enough time getting the rounds in for TGC a lot these days.

Dan, When you are in a rut, aim for the center of the greens, throw out calcing. It is funny how much better your shots end up! Or it could be the gremlins, they do screw with me many a times!

Two weeks off on holiday fixed it for me Dan. Saying that, two weeks after I got back I was in the doldrums again. My tip would be (and I don't always follow this) is try not to look at the scores at the top of the leader board. If you do you'll start getting disheartened quickly if you don't go on a birdie run straight from the off. Always aim for par at the worst. Soon before you know it your confidence will be up a bit and the birdies will start coming. You have to stop the bogeys first though. My -4 had 1 bogie and while yeah, I won't be challenging it still felt good and I feel I made progress with my game. Good luck with your future rounds. I'll sure you'll be looking back up soon rather than down.
