The spoiler is..
I suck
66 (-6) 66 (-6) old lady across the road would be breaking out the bibles with all those 6's 64 (-8) 68 (-4) Kind of fell apart in this round.
-24
Glad it's over, was very inconsistent in all my practice rounds so I went into this very nervous.
May grab an exemption out of it though. Thats all I can ask for.

One guy yet to submit his final round so I'm expecting to miss by one at the least.

Tim, I think you're going to find that folks aren't going to shoot as low on this course as you think.

You never know Tim....wait until all of last week's scores are in..anything can happen. I hope you join me in B...I don't know where my score will get me..but I should be top 70 and within 15 of the top exempt...could be enough to get my B card.

I can't operate like that, it's not the the way my brain is wired, I expect to worst and rejoice when it doesn't happen lol I do expect to see a couple or few in the -30's. Tim, I think you're going to find that folks aren't going to shoot as low on this course as you think.

For sure it aint over until the fat lady sings lol I hope to get up there with you soon, may not be this week, but it will be soon. I feel I got the worst behind me with Fossmill, the rest is gravy. Fossmill was just one of those courses that was a bit of a struggle with my natural slice/fade, felt very weird to have to club down a tee shot when all there was was a slight bend to the left, made for some long 2'nd shots.

I hear ya...I struggled too this week...I know I shot 2 -10's..but I really could have been around -40 if not for some really stupid mistakes and missed putts. I think I missed at least 10 putts under 7 feet...that's not like me....that's usually money in the bank

I was keeping track, I had 8 lip outs in my 1'st two rounds, putts that would have normally gone in other times. i kept my cool though and didn't let it bother me and just grinded it out. I still have to be happy with my score. Given my inconsistent practice rounds I'm just happy to have strung 4 rounds together at or close to the same score.
In the end my last couple or so tournaments I have to be pleased with my play, Im shooting more consistent, putting less and making less bogies

Just finished this tourney and I'm glad it's over! Finished -36 and experienced a couple of issues for the first time (am playing in my third tourney). One was getting a couple of 91% approach shots when nothing had changed in my swing, costing me a shot on both and another was when I sank a lovely 25 foot putt with lots of break in Round 1 however as I played the shot the game decided to kick me offline and when I re-connected I had to play the putt again and lo and behold, I duly missed it! Tough course but I think if people play sensibly (note to self - remember this next time) then I can see a fair few -40 scores and lower. Edit: Just noticed the name of the thread too. Very good TimB!

Very good TimB ! Paul, those are a couple of really tough breaks. But I'm sure 36 under will be just fine. I too have been noticing shots under 100% when I haven't done anything different. Perhaps they made some adjustment to the swing that we don't know about because it just started the last couple of days or so.

I'm sure it happens to all of us from time to time so no big deal. The game going offline when I sank the putt was a killer though. So proud of that putt but there you go!
