Damn, that's annoying... -12, -12, -14, -11 for a total of -49. Not winning, but would've been right up there.
Except I'm on the Euro tour, and just did this as a bit of a "practice" session... GRRR!

-14, -7, -7, -8. No idea how I shot -14 in the first round and then choked on my golf ball in the other rounds. Disappointed

61-64-58-66 = -39
Just another awful, pathetic performance. It probably doesn't help that my time is being taken up by Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and soon Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

This is one of those courses that look easy and should be easy until you find yourself on the wrong side of the hole. There are several holes, that your approach shot is downhill into a tight pin that runs away from you. This leaves you a few options.
1. Hit the upslope before the green and hope for a soft landing 2. Loft up a 3iron tremendously 3. hit it normally and make a longer putt.
I have shot -14 on this course in practice but I made two eagles which helped. So that is 10 other holes I made birdie on out of 16. Plenty of holes you can get your birdie on and as Tyler pointed out several holes eagle is but a good chip/putt away. At the same time this course is easy to give away a shot from a careless mistake. It is a fun little course.

No real desire to practice and it showed with a 66-71.
Probably going to take a few week off break to decide if I feel like continuing on this season.

Yep, the world is officially ending! I am unhappy by this as well!! Sorry guys, I can guarantee I'm even more disappointed! Hoping that a trip down to Peru to scale Machu Picchu will give me some ancient Incan power to stick those approach shots closer than I have been

Right there with you at a disappointing -39. Felt like I played 4 below average rounds...after 4 below average rounds last week. Slow start to the season.

64-63-60-66 = -35
Very dissapointing after doing pretty well for 3 rounds (for me)
Should of been at least 3 shots better had the LUCK (that i never get) gone my way.

I liked this course when I practiced it, especially compared to the Web course. Shame I can't compete up here this week. Good luck to everyone.

Came back to shoot 60 in round two. Trying to focus on that and not the nightmare that was round one and hope that, somehow, -15 makes the cut.
Good luck to all.

Play it for fun/practice if you have the time. Next week (week three) sounds like a beast of a course from what I've heard about it. Have yet to try it.

The competition here is intense! Gotta be on your game right away on hole number one. With such deep a field each week, the cut is only guaranteed for the elite.
I was okay with my opening -9. Knew I left shots out there, but didn't do anything dumb. Yet I see I am middle of the pack early on in score submissions. Let the cut line debate begin....

This has got to be a joke.
Look, I am certainly not complaining about my 2nd and 3rd round scores here, but two MORE scores of 60?!?!
I hope the link to 2015 events comes back up soon. I want to see how many scores of EXACTLY 60 I have with no round under 60.
I practiced the heck out of the Saturday pins because I played them once last week and heard the reputation they had. I took detailed notes, which I have only done two other times. I played very smart. I shot 8 birdies in the first nine holes with a lip-out eagle from the fairway on #9. Then a string of pars. My one bad stroke of my whole 3rd round was on #12 (par 5). I had left myself a 10 foot putt 4 inches uphill. It had a very gentle break one way at my feet and another light break at the hole the other way. It was straight. It was uphill. Perfect scenario. I aimed to 18 feet on my putter. For some reason I forgot to flip to my preferred putting camera and the golf gods made me forget to release the putt when I should for a measured 18-20 footer. I blasted it. I am glad my straight read was on, because the hole slowed my ball down as it hopped over the hole. I made a par. I made birdies on 16 and 17 I think to be -12 through 17. I hit a good, but not great approach on #18. I had a 13 footer uphill, but breaking right to left the whole way. I hit it, but it was never up, and never in (low-sided it).
60!
Good score, but the mental block continues....
R1: - 9 R2: -12 R3: -12
-33 through three rounds. Not going to win, but the way I was struggling in practice.. I am pleased so far.
Edit: Corrected my math error.

Bob, I can see you before the judge requesting a legal name change now: "Your honor, I'd like to be known as Sixty Balzhiser from this point forward. Why? Are you familiar with TGC Tours? No? Let me give you a quick recap of the past eight months ..."
