62-63-63-60 = -40
I think it's the first time I've cracked -40 over a tournament and I played pretty "meh" for long stretches of the event, occasionally veering towards the odd good or bad shot. I'd personally rather something more akin to last week than this to be fair, I didn't exactly have to strategically plot my way around the course to be honest.

I've already kind of written off my chances this week as i know how it's going to go - the same way it always does in birdie fest tournaments. I'll have one good round where i keep pace with the leaders, two decent ones ruined by 3/4 hole par streaks and another ruined by one dumb bogey/double, and finish just outside the Top 10. You heard it here first This sounds very familiar to my tournament.

I'm playing awful but it's a good course. I much prefer realistic golf like this although I'm learning to enjoy the firm challenge, it has to be a good mix of conditions to be fair, we all have differing opinions on this

I did not play here last week, but would not of complained. I've been around long enough to know that this is the popular kind of course. Although for the life of me I cant figure why. It is so far beyond realistic it is not even funny, not even remotely similar to golf, further away by a light year from Firm and fast to being close to golf, to stand there in the fairway and say, hit 132, tap in, next is for the complete mentally challenged, non golfing arcade gamer. Go play fckn pac man. Lol bless

It's a great course, well designed by a master of design. However these conditions is the furthest removed from realistic the game has.

On another note any one up for some guesses at the cut? I think with zero wind and those greens in round 2, the cut has to hit mid teens minimum.

Ok so i finished -36 and now i officially hate this game once more. I'm so close to quitting its unreal. Went -7, -17, -6, -6. The only highlight there was my 2nd round but the other 3 i was dealt with so much bullshit. Water balls etc etc. I just gave up mid way through Round 3 and just wanted it to be over. News flash: bleacherreport.com/articles/1452636-10-most-unwatchable-pro-golfers/page/2Tour veteran Daniel Waring —one of the great hotheads to ever play—actually became so fed up with Boomers pace of play during the round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, that he finished the 6th hole and walked to the next tee, leaving Boomer behind to complete the round by himself.

Don't worry buddy it wasn't you that i was fed up with. Oh and never take my posts seriously e.g. "i want to quit" etc. I never mean it as i am straight back on the game with 20 minutes haha

Had to get it out the way as 100% off my shots are left of center, even if i swing it diagonal to the right. Hoping to grind out a top 25. Pleasantly supprised. -11, -16, -14, -13 -54 total. Should be top 10 so i will take that this week. Hopefully get this swing sorted for next week.

-12,-13,-11,-12... (-48) Where do I start!? This course has grown on me the more I've played it.. wouldn't put it in the great or challenging course bracket but that being said I think its an ok/decent setup..my tourney itself... Happy with my score but did leave so many out there, we all do most of the time that's golf! Putted ok for a change which is the area of my game I was most happy about in this tourney as going into the tourney my putter was quite cold!! After missing the cut last week I wanted to bounce back this week with a decent score n overall I'm content.think the winner of this tourney could finish -60 or lower but I'll say -60 to see how far I'm out Good luck to those of you yet to begin your tourneys and very well played to those of you setting the early pace! The batteries in Mr Humphreys's constructed primary device gave up right before his tourney..he had to make do with a Sony controller good tourney Tom!
