Struggled to get anything going this week. Not a fault of the course - it was good, with some interesting greens, but it just didn't suit my game.
If I made the cut, the end of my 4th round absolutely imploded with a ridiculous 5 over on one of the closing holes, courtesy of a brain freeze and 3 trips into the water!

-8 round 1 and -5 round 2 (in higher winds). Hopefully -13 should be enough to make the cut, it was last week and for me this is a slightly more difficult course.

Round 1 - 63 (-9) pretty much what I deserved, perhaps missed one makeable birdie putt Round 2 - 66 (-6) higher winds caused me a few problems, pretty happy with -6
Hopefully that makes the cut and best of luck to everyone who hasn't teed off yet :-)

Another missed cut for me. Played really well first round on approaches but some truly awful putting made me finish at -4. Second round, much the same until frustration crept in on the back nine due to needing birdies and plus I couldn't concentrate due to nagging from the GF and the boiler being fixed. Shouldn't have played the second round but ah well. Liked the course but disappointed in my putting display. Finished -5 through 2 after 2 poor bogeys near the end.

How did someone go -14? I feel like I'm WAY out of my league on this tour..

Had a very dodgy spell midway through Round 2 but holed some nice putts coming in to add a 62 to my opening 60. Going to leave my last 2 rounds til later in the week. Hope to be within a handful of the halfway lead but the way it's gone around here lately i'll probably be 10 back

My aim is to make the cut each week and hopefully earn enough money to make the R2D come the end of the season. I'd also like to qualify for a WGC event or major this year if I can.

I've only played a couple of practice rounds so far with mixed results but whether I can put together 2 rounds low enough to make the cut or not.......I seriously love this course! One of the most realistic looking "links" type courses I've played. Great sight lines with some tricky tee shots, exceptional planting that isn't over done and "tour grade" greens that reward great shots and punish errant or overly aggressive approaches.

1st round 62, missed a couple of makeable putts along with just missing eagle chip ins. Round 2 of 66, whatever lucky bounces I got in R1 I wasn't getting in R2 and found a couple of bunkers by a yard. Think I'm at -6 on the 9th hole in R3 before I had to stop. Will probably finish up tonight after work or in the morning, looking to end up in the mid 30's that might give a top 10? 2nd round I managed to drive the short par 4 3rd or 4th hole. Wasn't even trying too and left myself with an 88 footer which rolled off the green on my eagle putt, wonder if I'll get the GIR or not?

-8 round 1 and -5 round 2 (in higher winds). Hopefully -13 should be enough to make the cut, it was last week and for me this is a slightly more difficult course. I think you're safe to play your weekend rounds. -13 is pretty good for those of us who play in the Mere Mortals flight of the Euro Tour. Nice work. Then there are those who can somehow shoot -13 in the high winds of Friday's round. Mind boggling.

Did exactly the same thing. Poor course management tbh. Just wanted to launch it, didn't think about the consequences

Just wanted to launch it, didn't think about the consequences I was all excited when I saw it was going to go on the green, then it started going up the slope on the right......ooohhhh this could be good.......and it starts coming back down......s**t roll off the green, roll off the green. To be fair, I lagged the putt to perfection, just 20 yards left of the cup
