It's a quiet day at work today as expected!!! When do you courses start? Week 18 8th of Feb. Shocking choice of courses there!!!!! Only joking, Royal Burberry Black is one of my favourites, I'm pleased it's coming on the tour or though probably not as happy as Jordan Springer will be!!!

Great work to Kenny and the others up near -50 on some great rounds! Personally, I picked the game up for only the 2nd time in the past 3 weeks, played 2 practice holes and then jumped into it as I needed to get all my rounds in yesterday. And...I actually played fairly well, which was shocking to me. I had only played one round since the big patch/update, and my swing was definitely more on-point than it had been before (no sub-100% shots). But maybe I also just played more patiently or something.
Hole #2 treated me well for the first 2 rounds with 2 near albatrosses resulting in almost-tap-in eagles. But after that hole and hole 3 my momentum seemed to sputter in every round. I quite enjoyed this course...some really good par 3's that required a lot of thought to get it close to the hole. Plus some trees that came into play but never felt cheap. Ended up finishing -12 -12 -9 -7
For a -40. My putting was shockingly competent for having taken so much time off...but round 4 was a knife in the gut as I left about 5 putts on the lip just short. Hoping to hang on for a top 30 this week and then build on that, as now I have a couple months where I can actually get back playing again.

Dumped a 92%er in the piss on my rd1 1st hole tee shot - was on tilt afterwards and never really recovered. Rd 1 -10 Rd 2 -8 Not keen on playing the final two rounds as I know I'll throw a -16 in there somewhere - which could see a remote thrown through my TV screen. Might go visit Oasis CC instead. Good luck lads

Good luck lads I like this guy exactly why I didn't play on with mediocre scoring! but sitting at -20 it looked safe as I teed off. Left no less that 7 putts within 3 inches in round 3 finished a woeful -7. Round 4 in the hurricane I played the best I have in a while was unlucky in a couple of spots and made a huge chipping error I said sand wedge caddie handed me lob wedge left a 12 footer massive break but held the putt ! Turned to caddie after the ball dropped "Lob Wedge? Well your fired!" Finished out -9 will get me out of the 60s for once if the Lurkers & Watchers don't snare me tomorrow! -10 little wind -10 no wind -7 some wind -9 hurricane -36 total scores above don't make sense really . The last of today's watchers watch update will follow later!

Haha great to see the laughs going on here. You'd want to see the lurking going on up in Pga. My lord the place is full of watchers. Doyley is the ultimate watcher still hasn't got his rounds in :-)

Never understood why people don't just post their scores once they've played, it's not like waiting gives you any advantage.

Some people think they are playing poker and like to keep their cards close to their chests :-) haha yeah man that's the watchers for you. I know of plenty and can tell by the in game leaderboard that they do play their rounds earlier than they let on ;-). The naming and shaming thread of the watchers shall be released haha

Watcher Watching Update with 27 and a bit hours to dealine. -22 and better are all safe -21 94% so basically safe -20 65% should make it depending on the Lurker Variable -19 41% might make it but would guesstimate will miss out by 1 -18 29% Ive seen lower percentages fall over the line! -17 18% Need to surround the refs hut with clubs in hand to prevent the watchers taking them out on Watcherday -16 and further have fallen already! with 34 watchers waiting till Watcherday and the unknown variable that is the Lurkers out there only tomorrow will tell. I will just say I wish I was one shot better off but it wouldn't be a Watcherday without me been in danger I suppose . Goodnight all!

Couldn't agree more, I know we have a bit of fun on here about the watchers and all, but some people genuinely can't play early due to other commitments and get their rounds in late. I think playing and not posting scores is just wrong though, as you don't have an opportunity to hide your score in a real golf tournament to try to gain some sort of advantage. The real problem is if everyone ended up doing it we wouldn't have a leaderboard at all.

Are my eyes deceiving me or does it say all active scores due in 1day and 14 hours for rounds 1 and 2??? Surely this is a mistake they can't be letting the watchers have more time. King watcher Ben Timmons is ironically about to be fed to the watcher cut line bynone other than Scott Doyley aka the silent assassin and the new heir to the throne of watchers ;-)

Before I kick off with a later than usual Watcher of the Watchers Watcherday report would just like to say I agree with the posts prior to this about lads keeping the scorecards in the bag I don't see the advantage really and it could potentially do damage to peoples mouses laptops smartphones or significant others. Nobody likes bad surprises some people don't even like good surprises. Just play nice and we can all be friends . Anyway back to normality and my heart rate is back to normal today as below will explain. With 27 Watchers a watching and X Lurkers a lurking the play stands like this: -21 and better are safe and will be around for the weekend will anyone beat Kenny off top spot with his -49 only time will tell. -20 78% chance of making it. Good news for myself and 8 other lads including dh-nufc . after 9 events of one or both of us missing the cut we could both make it 2 comps in a row! Chickens? Hatch? I know, I know. -19 48% looking healthier than yesterday It'll be tight be might just squeak in. -18 29% I got over the line with a 27% chance a few weeks back on watchers day so its possible just not really probable. -17 11% unfortunately unless they have relocated the refs hut in a nuclear bunker in the middle of the Atlantic on the sea bed there is minimal chance of getting over the line. Which is a shame for Ricky Martin up from CCA this week mainly because all the potential song title quotes that could of happened on web! Unfortunately Web is "Loaded" with so many great players Ricky will have to "Shake his bon bon" back down to CCA that's just how "She Bangs" I suppose. Of course you have to overlook the fact his name is actually Rich and he's not from Puerto Rico. -16 and lower is unfortunately moved on to Oasis CC for next weeks comp. (Please note all Ricky Martin song titles mentioned were sourced via wiki and my dyslexia is how rich became Ricky, apologies if any offence was taken in the reading of this post)
