I used to give him putting lessons years ago haha yeah right. Yeah he is gifted at the putting and everything else . I played with him and tony's ghost was class they really made me feel like an amateur. I see sweeney is being ta lurker and not posting his scores ;-) prob trying to hide it from Bradley....Don't worry I won't tell anyone but I know what you finished overall muhahahha # sneakysweeney ;-) Tony you are a bad influence on me hahaha quality lurker
I went to sign my cards earlier but I froze in a amazement when I see tony and Brendan in the top 5 im still in shock
wondered why I heard all them echoes from Ireland saying great game
this aint fair by the way tony, getting all ur irish friends to come up and bully me
never thought id say this but we need tom bk on the euro even it up a bit
Your technically very much Irish yourself! I'm still in shock myself seeing myself in top 5.. prob won't finish there. Top 10 perhaps... greaaaaaaaat game!!

Bad week. Wasn't feeling it, missed first cut in a few weeks.
Crossing over to Pebble next week -- gonna be fun to do that as the real event is happening. I haven't played the new RCR of it.

-11,-8,-10,-9 (-38) total. Solid tourney for me this week. Played pretty steady.. Best I've putted consistently over 4 rounds for quite a while. greatt game! I made a number of eagles throughout the 4 rds, including 1 on a par 4, might have being 10th, didn't jot it down Despite having played well this week I still made a number of basic errors, but all in all I played solid, 1 bogey I think. So happy with my score overall. Dinosaur Valley is a course I overall enjoyed. Even in practice.. Ok the design isn't flawless in some areas but overall you can hold greens despite them being quick...I found myself getting par on several holes and being content..mainly the 12th hole.. a hole I remember as it accounted for my only bogey. The wind was pretty low throughout.. Rarely reaching double figures from memory.Surprised we didn't see a higher avg of wind in a tourney where there wasn't a 4 pin set up.like last week at conservatory a higher avg of wind would have mixed it up a bit..oh well. In later weeks hopefully we'll see Mr.Wind return more frequently I'll conclude my post this week by wishing you all a good tourney. REMEMBER!! 37 under would b a great score!!! well done to those of you shooting low out there thus far. I expect between 40-45 under to win this week.... Oh go on then I'll call -45.. #lovebeatingpug #ridingthatwave #greatgame Tony, that's an incredible score you've got there of -38. I may be underestimating Ian and Bradley and the other beasts here, but I don't see someone going that low this week. I'm calling -42 for winner with your score in the range of top 5. Looked at the top of the leaderboard for the Euro Tour on Steam just now. Looks like I was made to eat my words.

Although I was happy with my score I'm not surprised to see my total well beaten.. I predicted 45 under would win so a few out this week in that regard too as that tally has being surpassed already. I'm just pleased I'm playing a little more consistent golf over 4 rounds lately.. That's what separates the elite from the rest of us. They produce a high level of consistentcy and with it, a high bar for the rest of us to try n reach.. Pity they set that bar as high as the Eiffel tower

It drives me crazy

It drives me crazy I used the putting marker last night for the first time in 1100+ rounds. Hoping that will close the gap eventually. =) Yeah but even then practicing is not that straightforward. Even if you generate a random course on your own, keep it offline to tamper with and go on the greens....it is a "muddy" process. Going every time trough the menus just to move the avatar around is soooo unfriendly What I would really like would be the chance to set up a little drill - like I wanna putt 1000 times consecutively from random distances on a 187 or whatever feet green with random generated slopes. That's it! In 1100 rounds, even if you were so bad to have had 2 putted every hole, you would have practiced "only" 40thousand putts (give or take)....but in how many months??

Purchased in July of 2015 and have played every virtually every day since. (yeah, I play this too much!) I play almost as you do too honestly I think that's the only way to compete at this high level tbh - and I'm gonna tell you it's not enough either If the game had a drill like I described I will be there for sure 1/2 hrs a day + normal rounds. I think we talked about this approach in a web tier topic some months ago...and we both agreed we're not having fun if not competitive enough on any game....am I right?
