When putting, make sure to take into account the slope of the green beyond the cup. If the slope isn't too steep downhill, then you can be more aggressive. If there is downhill slope past the cup, you want to be more careful.
On more difficult greens, you really want to be mindful of the slopes before you make your approach shot, trying to give yourself an uphill putt, even if it is a bit longer.

-48 total for me. Should have finished better. God I want to get out of the CC tour. Same here. I actually made the cut in Web.Com last week while on exemption, but real life got in the way and I forgot to play my last round!!! Now I'm stuck back down here again!

welcome rob and i would say, aim for -40 or better for top 10. Naldy, When i putt like you describe, it never seems to stop within 5ft from the hole, more like around 10 and with a slope to the side, the main cause of bogies for me, I just cant judge the break and power on them, end up either going long or leaving a tricky putt inside 6ft with the lines going fast to the side. End up with many lip outs Thanks Phoenix, I shot a career best 46 but looks like that won't be enough for a top 10 as I'm joint 9 and there are 3 players who are well within reach with another round yet to play. can't believe tho I've just got into cca but already fighting to get an exemption for web .

I've got a bad feeling about this. See what i did there. Looks like my -48 won't be enough. Currently in 4th but i bet I'll be bumped.

Some very strong rounds this time. I'm quite happy with my play even though I'm currently sitting 40th. I hit 100% drives in all my rounds and my best round was a 58 with only 24 putts. That might be my best yet.

Hows this for a first time CC-A player? -11,-12,-14........-1. Wait, what? -1? Thats right. Only I could mess one round up that bad. I still cant explain what happened. I think I even had a 4 putt on the -1 round. Geez. So much for that. Guess I wasn't ready for the jump.

Started of with a -18 and capitulated the last 3 rounds, looking like I'm gonna be ~3 shots short of a exemption, could have gone -55 easy without some horror shots. I'm sad ;_;

Lol you wouldnt be the only one to do that or be good enough to get it within a few weeks, mrooola for 1 did it i would love to be able to do it but baby steps lol, ive only just got my putting improving, i just need to put 4 rounds together.

Im a bit confused, in order to gain your Web card, you have to finish highest out of the exemption? If i get top 5 this week, what do i have to do to stay in Web?

Just checked it looks like you need to be top 5 to get a sponser exemption, doesn't matter tho I'm happy enough to be in cca, at the moment anyway
