The score is out there definitely on Sunday. The designer shot -9 in testing and I shot -8 on my first go. Granted we're both on the euro tour but I'm nothing special, I missed my first 3 cuts on the euros. And yes, the gameplay is currently far too easy, hence the low scores. This course is a real course in real life. The BMW Championship on the euro tour. Yet people are shooting 50s on it. I didn't know this course was modelled on Wentworth must be the colour of the trees or something that make it look different. Yeah there is definitely a score there for someone but they will have to earn it with well thought out shots. -8 or -9 should be a great round in the game but unfortunately it's hard to stop the -50's without tricking up the courses where they become no fun at all, I thought the pin 5 was great as there were birdies there if you played the right shot but you could make a mess easily too so it kept you on your toes.

I didn't think it'd get there, but it does look like the cuts going to hit -18 again.

Missed the cut this week. No offense to the designer but I just didn't like this course. Greens were okay but at times I didn't really get the logic behind the placement of some of those pins. Good job to all the guys going low this week.

Unlucky with the cut!! have one myself greens killed me.

I'm pushing you one further down the order, apologies! Managed to squeeze in a couple of hours for my rounds: Rd 1: 62 (-10) Rd 2: 60 (-12) Rd 3: 59 (-13) Rd 4: 71 (-1) For a -36 total. Absolutely loved that final round. Very tough greens, managed one bogey and two birdies, and a couple of barely missed putts (including a 60 footer that nestled half an inch from the cup). Enjoyed the course, had only practiced the pin 1 course. Good luck all!

8 more people need to finish ahead of us on -17. 5 players are in good positions after round 1 to achieve this. That means only 3 people of the ones to play any rounds need to beat -17 to knock us out. 22 still to play but 22 didn't finish last week so if it's the same as last week we will be through just!!!!!! I hope!!! I've been checking every hour but I'm out at a gig tonight so will probably wake up in the morning with a hangover and the disappointment of missing the cut!!!

So only 3 need to shoot -18 or better?

I feel your pain man there is nothing worse knowing ''THE WATCHERS'' are coming.the watchers are the lads that watch the leaderboard to see what they need to shoot and then just before the deadline they strike and make you miss the cut.hopefully you'll escape their wrath haha

This might be more fun to watch than I expected! I can send you hourly updates on posted scores and projected cut line movement. I might analyze average scores for those that haven't posted to let you know your odds. Anything I can do to help just let me know. Since I missed the cut this week (badly I might add, not even close to competitive....but at least it was my first miss!) I can cheer you on in your pursuit of virtual cash this week. Or maybe cheer for those that have not posted yet....not sure.

I think -17 won't be good enough, there are 3 or 4 guys on the board that have played 1 round that are in double figures under par already. I missed the cut last week with similar circumstances, checked the leaderboard going to bed at 1:00am GMT and was safe and guys hadn't played, checked again in the morning and I was gone and -16 nearly was too. Why is the cut done so late in the week?

But not this week, got em in early - didn't like the course and just wanted to get it done with. Usually I wait partly because it's more fun for me having that added pressure (not that it makes a difference to my score, I still screw it up) and partly because I hate having all my rounds done by Tuesday and then twiddling my thumbs for the rest of the week!

I just played the Pin 5 fast/firm for practice and shot a -8 including a bogey & a missed 13 foot eagle putt on the 18th (could have easily been a -11 ~ not that I can do that under tourney pressure), I think there's going to be some good scores to be had in the final round, and I wish all courses played more difficult like pin 5.
I can't touch an overall leaderboard when there's -15 out there, but when the low score is < -10 I feel like I can make a run at it, and these fast/firm greens for the final round are just lovely.
Comparing some of the holes on this English Rose to Wentworth West this designer really nailed it, every fairway looked spot on and bunkers too, well done whoever built this course, much much better than the prior courses this season on the web.com tour.
