Just an absolutely terrible show of putting from me this week. Round 1 started off with a putt I've seen the few times in practice and it hardly ever broke. In the tournament, it broke just enough to lip out. Pared #3, #4, and #5 all with putts within 6' with more lip outs. Looking at my scorecard, I had 27 putts. Just not going to get it done and way higher than my average. Same thing happened in all four rounds. Putts just didn't find the center of the cup and went around/over the lip instead. Frustrating, but I guess some weeks it happens (especially when I just got back from a week break).
R1: 61 (-10) R2: 58 (-13) R3: 58 (-13) R4: 62 (-9) Total: 239 (-45) Total Putts: Probably in the high 90s or low 100s.
By the way, I'm running a pretty powerful rig and this is one of the few courses that I can't even get a stable 40 fps on the high load settings. I actually had to play this course on medium, which at least brought the course up to a stable 75 fps.

Well I decided to give the new putting stroke a chance and I think I may be on to something. Also thanks to Bradley Cooper I was using the lofted 3 iron to some good success in some cases. Still figuring out some roll on that, but I really can see times it comes in handy.
Round 1 58 (-13) Round 2 57 (-14) -27 so far.
Best two rounds I have put up in a row in a very, very long time. Not going to push my luck at this time and am going to take a break.
Looking back hitting the ball with hole speed I had 2 putts that I thought I missed, hit the lip and roll around and in, so I really think that (for me) was the issue. The downside is on the longer putts I can leave the ball woefully short like a 30footer that was downhill I left 12 feet short. Made the par luckily. The one bogey i had I three putted from about 8 feet.
After such a struggle it really feels well to finally put together two solid rounds.

Started out -12, -14, -12... thought I had a good shot at reaching -50 but then I shat the bed in round 4 with a -7. -45 total. Btw - Am I only the one anymore who doesn't play practice rounds on these tournament courses before playing the tournament? I just jump in face first and let it fly

We're going to outnumber the -48 club soon. Haha yea we might. To be honest, I'm surprised I even got to -7 in that 4th round. I took a bogey and a double bogey on the front 9 to finish E after 9. Shot a -7 on the back but that front 9 start killed me.

You mean you didn't drop another -10 on the back nine to tie those of us at -48? Looks like you're slipping a bit, man...

I thought for sure I'd catch you in round 4 but I guess I've been shooting too many zombies and not enough golf balls the past couple of days. I did hole out for eagle on the back 9 somewhere so I had a shot at -10 but I pretty much phoned it in after my front 9 performance.

Btw - Am I only the one anymore who doesn't play practice rounds on these tournament courses before playing the tournament? I just jump in face first and let it fly I don't practice either. Ain't nobody got time for that.

For those of us on other other side of the spectrum..... With 90 players in -9 is holding strong at 48th... With 19 players left in the top 100 and a couple dozen more that should shoot -9, I stick by my cut line of -17...

I felt like i played great, just missed too many putts that SHOULD be made.
