Haha great banter here and love the Watcher/waiter comments/jibes. As its a spoiler thread perhaps some of the potential watchers could let themselves be known, being christmas and all, time for sharing etc etc To be fair some have announced there faith before they reeked back into the shadows cast around the golf course and We are on to a few of them aswell. Quick update for everyone else -18 is now the Watcher Safe Zone cut still at -4 for now.

Happy Watchers Eve everyone! Ill keep to my usual watcher safe zone updates this week although knowing im not going to make the cut makes it tough on me ! Bloody update grrrrr. Anyway as things stand early days yet -19 is the Watcher Safe Zone so just the top 4 safe for now with 66 Watchers out there. Cut is currently at -4 but that will change majorly over the next 42 hours. I predicted -12 will make it but in light of the scores I would say -13 is were you need to be! Which is great news for our Dean who will be sent a special email from tgc to inform him that yes tournaments do go on for 4 rounds just incase he forgot! Ill be back on later with updates on my demise Yay! Back to scheduling for me! Well it makes a change from me knowing I'll be sure to lose out to the watchers, at least you have a good excuse too! Now that's the best news I've heard all week. I hope your prediction come off!!! Yes, the special email will be required. I've been used to having the rest of the week off to catch up on other tournaments or dare I say play others games or even have a life! Now I may actually have some work to do. I'll probably gamble and play my last 2 rounds tonight and then wake up on Friday morning to find out you were wrong and I'd missed the cut for the 7th time!

Here's a stat for you Dean Not once this session have both of us made the cut in the same tournament also only once have we both missed the cut to this trend would further my theory you will make it and I will not! If i was you I would leave your last rounds till friday as the rusty gate swing might be patched tomorrow.

The comments here open up the debate as to whether ghost balls should be allowed in tournament play. On the subject, I couldn't survive without them! TGC Tours has made this game so much more than just a golf sim - it gives you something to aim for each week (albeit making the cut!!). If a future update were to enable/disable ghost balls when setting up competitions, it would more than likely change the look of the leaderboards each week. Hats off to those guys that pioneer the rounds each week, their golf balls venturing into uncharted golf sim territory!
Regarding the ps4 update - can't believe adjustments were needed following the last debacle! I had a couple of 92% drives over large water expanses. Biting my nails waiting for the ball to hit green and not blue!

Watcherday Eve Update. Slow moving out on the course today I would suspect either due to Wind holding up play, Watchers praying for the Ps4 patch or a mass of broken PS4's due to the worst update since Arsenals Injury List. But as things stand with nantez88 in the clubhouse looking smug with a beer in one hand fag in the other and a shotgun resting against the bar if anyone dares overtake him. And by my predictions dh-nufc looking like he'll see the weekend for the first time since Newcastle got out of the bottom 3. It looks like tomorrow will see alot of change. Chances of scores making the cut. (62 watchers to play) -17 and better are safe -16 92% -15 87% -14 75% -13 64% -12 50% -11 45% -10 30% I could keep going but safe to say the cut wont be outside these numbers

Well a frustrating end to the tournament for me after a half decent start, started off well and enjoyed the challenge of the wind in the first round especially. I got away with murder in rd 3 but left way too many out there. Rd 4 was a disaster bad swings, 3 bogies, stupid missed putts(think I had 2 from 8ft) and a frustrating 69 to go with it. Nice course this week, pins on the last 2 rounds made some holes difficult to make birdies on but overall there was a good mix and the scores were there for you if you could get it in close enough. R1 -10 R2 -8 R3 -8 R4 -3 Total -29 and a barely a sniff of a top 30, some really good rounds posted on PS4 anyway.

I started off well in the first round, getting to -5 after 7 holes, but I really struggled with the high winds for the remainder of the round. I finished with a 4-under 68, leaving a lot of work to do in round #2, where I played much better in the calmer winds. Hole outs from the front bunker on #4 and on a 62 yard pitch on #15 propelled me to a 10-under 62 and brought me to the weekend at -14.
As of this writing, -14 is two shots better than the median score. Barring a hot streak among players yet to tee off, things are looking good for the weekend, but my poor first round leaves me likely out of contention this week.

I'm not sure what to think after my first two rounds. I injured my thumb playing hockey sunday, but it felt OK today so I took a swing at the course. I felt as if I left so many shots on the greens. I must have had a record high amount of putts. Some went in but most didn't. I was really disappointed with my -9 first round and I felt I played horribly on the second round with a -7. So -16 after two and it looks as if that's enough to make the cut. I'm really surprised by this. I guess I'm still on some sort of hot streak and that I feel that I play worse than I really am right now.

With Watchersday Eve drawing to a close Watchersday is looking like it could be a humdinger this week! With nantez88 now in a share of the lead with Louis Coulombe (thank God no one can here me butchering his name as I try to say it!!Cool-lom-bay?) and @mvs85 lurking with intent 1 shot behind tied with 2 Americans who I dont think ive ever seen on the forum so no point mentioning them it'll be tight at the top this weekend. But enough of glory hunters on to the important stuff the cutline threaders who only want to post 4 rounds !! Here's the updated Watcher Avoidance stats (46 watchers in play) -15 and Better are all In the Watcher Safe Zone. Chances to make the weekend -14 89% -13 71% dh-nufc you must like those odds -12 59% -11 43% -10 24% -9 13% -8 2% -7 and lower Unfortunately it the axe has already fallen. But there will be a Christmas comp put up on Friday by yours truly giving a glimpse into the future courses of Web some are definite some are likely others im on the fence. So all feedback is appreciated. Ill be back tomorrow with more updates hopefully none as bad as the PS4 one for tgc!

I though I'd show you my last 2 rounds in video seen as they are so rare. Clip 1 shows how close you can be between success and failure, one shot just hitting the bunker and then the flop just missing the hole. Clips 2 and 3 are so close but no cigar Clip 4 was a pitch shot which should have dropped. Clip 5 was all about the putter, it ruined round 3. How many putts did I take? Watch to find out. i can't share on my iPad, check my channel, I will link tomorrow.
My warm up before round 3 was great. It looks like I've made the cut and confidence was sky high. Unfortunately my swing had gone, nothing to do with the update, I just couldn't hit it straight! I struggled for the first few holes but kept in there. I was -2 going To the 8th. That's when clip 5 happened. Round ruined and although play improved I was too far gone. I finished a disappointing -4, the first badly played round of the week.
Round 4 was much better and although not spectacular, a -8 with those tricky pin positions was a good round. I did have an annoying 3 putt bogey but overall it was good. If I make the cut then round 3 will see me plumit right to the bottom. Hopefully round 4 will take me up a little. I was pleased to be able to play 4 rounds thinking they most probably will count (Was it 71% chance of making the cut?) The last competitive round before Christmas is out of the way, time for a few relaxing rounds and some birthday and festive celebrations.

Yes the % was chance of making the cut its 82% now so your home and hosed! By the looks of it -12 will be the line meaning we keep are trend going as I'll miss it by one which is so frustrating rather miss by 6 and say I played rubbish ffs.
