Holly batman... There was some serious scores going down R1 on Xbox. Including a couple of -18 's Wow ! Well I was pleased with my round - -13 n 7th on Xbox Yep -13. And 7th ! Lol. Definately found a new thumb technique so not hitting the wild shots out of nowhere.. Enjoyability just went up ten fold. Because of that! Left some puts out there .. N missed a couple eagle puts. But all in all.. Happy with my .. Hopeful return to form. .. Quick breather then back out for ROUND 2 .

Well .. Now im v. Happy R 2 - 15 under. Tee to green was great. Missed a 6 footer on 1 but apart from that was pretty good all over . Also holed out eagle on 2 which made up for the missed 6 footer. Almost holes a few others n couple close hole in ones ! .. That moved me to -28 after 2 .. And I think -15 is my best ever score . After struggling last 3 weeks needed this.

Finished -13 , -15 , -4 !!! , - 7 !! For a total of -39! What a shame thought I was definately in for a shout for a top 10 finish after rounds 1&2 . Round 3- played well same as in other rounds.. But just missed everything! I literally had 14 one inch puts! Grrrr. .. Well I did get a cheeky hole in 1 on round 3 as a consolation. My first on tgctours. Well at least I wasn't fighting hooks n slices.. Just lost focus with the putter. Fun event.. I'll be back next week .. After 600 hours practise with the putter .

No doubt this course is easier than last week but that is scares me more than harder courses, mistakes are punished more and at times, par is a bad result. Focus is needed more than ever, so I have put on my new Irish shirt in the hope it brings me luck and off we go. Hitting my first shot at 87 percent was not the ideal beginning, but with it being a short par four, it did not cause any issues and birdie was made. Two more birdies quickly followed but was disappointed with my approach on the third, I should have been able to put it closer to the hole, I still had eagle chance, just could have been closer. 83 percent swing followed by 87 percent swing, a dropped shot. I am going to play a hole or two more, but if it continues, I will delay the rest of the round. The next two holes went par bogey. My swing is not right, it's very jerky, pausing for a fraction at times mid swing so I am going to stop here till I hear more about swing issues and possible fixes, a shame, my round has being spoilt by it, but I will get over that, in fact does not really bother me, good rounds, bad rounds all part of the game. I just hope it can be fixed so all future mistakes will be mine, have fun all, watch for swing issues on ps4, do delay your round if it's affecting you.

Has there been an update Dan? That's unfortunate that it's happened during your first few holes and it is frustrating when it does that's for sure. A wise man to stop when others (me) would have just kept going and then moaned like fc#k about it afterwards!! I promise I haven't tampered with your controller in any way shape or form!! (Now where did I leave that mini Philips screwdriver?)

Yeah there was a update, I should have played some practice rounds before my tour round, that would have been smart. I have no doubt I will work out the swing, just a the moment the jerkiness spoils the way I swing. One under after nine before I stopped, normally on this course I would be six to nine under. So I can forget about being competitive this week and will just play the rest of the tour for fun. I can get 100 percent but it does mean changing my swing a little, not so fluid as I would like but such is life. I am not going to worry about it, if I can't compete so be it, not the end of the world. Know this though, despite you denying before you were even accused, I will be investigating to see if web.com boys had anything to do with it, cya tonight for some match play with a little interrogation thrown in.

I shot a -18 on the first round - the best round, by far, I've had. I had two pars, two eagles (including a 180 yd hole-out), and 14 birdies. Can say the other rounds were as low but I'm hopeful to finish in the top 5 or 10.

First round - 15. My best round ever and missing 2 easy puts for eagle and 1 for birdie. But I am very happy. Unfortunately the next rounds I scored worst. -39 after the 4 rounds. -15 -9 -6 -9
A top 30 on the scoreboard with luck.

Under protest, I finished my first round. I begged course officals to leave me restart but they were having none of it. I suspect the officals are related to the web.com boys, last night I snuck into chat between three web.com boys and they were laughing and joking, at one point I am sure I heard them make rude comments about my clothes and then today, I am forced to finish my rounds or face being kicked out of the tour, I can put two and two together. I still had some swing issues but not as bad as yesterday, I had one 90 percent shot that put me in a bunker, I pared the hole but all chance of birdie was gone. I missed one decent birdie shot but that was down to bad reading of the green, outside of those pars it was birdie all the way for a eight under finish. It was a decent back nine, makes me wonder what my score would have been with out yesterdays issues. Still what's done is done, just like the web.com boys playing match play last night, done well before the eighteenth, ha.

You guys have some amazing shots out there Hello Tom. I think that we will remain in CC-B until the end of times. But never say never . I am practicing the next week tourney and the key of the course is the Saturday and Sunday days. Playing with patience and with an iron or wood less on the approach shoots maybe make the difference.
