69,69,68,69 (-13) total.. Well let me start things off this week by saying I made a right spectacle of myself on Spectacle Island Links.. Really didn't enjoy this event for many reasons but mainly because I didn't particularly enjoy the course and that's putting it mildly.. Round 1 I was going along ok, think I was -5 thru 11, then i had a bogey and things spiralled from there. 2nd rd I felt I needed a fast start to try and least make the cut but I couldn't manage that either. I felt everything that could have went wrong, did! Add to that the fact I wasn't being at all clinical with the putts and it all amounts to a certain miss cut this week.. Off I went into round 3 n 4, and had lost interest at this stage, and shot a 68 and 69.. Missed several birdies by the smallest margin but even with them i'd have struggled to reach 20 under. The course is scoreable, no doubt but in the last two rounds in particular I felt the margin of rollin onto to the pin or rollin off 85ft in the other direction was too fine!! The course shields birdies in the last 2 rounds a little OTT in my view or maybe I just didn't have a lethal enough sword! The signs were there earlier in the week for me on the course when I wasn't really scoring too well on it.Really dissapointed with my final score. Its probably as bad it could have got for me, got no breaks and didn't play particularly well. Bad combo! Good luck to all yet to play the tourney and very well done to those of you shooting impressively low so far! #dissapointed #alwaysnextweek

I crossed over to the PGA this week Tony because I didn't like the course, I'm glad I did I don't think I will make the cut but I did enjoy my rounds strange as it might seem.

No disrespect to creator but how this course got approved by tgc is ridiculous , pins are so unapproachable . I prefer tougher courses b ut not unplayable courses # un enjoyable

After 2weeks of missing the cut my confidence is completely gone.didn't play too badly though Round 1 -7 Round 2 -6 Just hoping to make the cut here sitting at -13 thru 2 I bogied the 14th then double bogied the 15th in round 2 :-( undoing all my good work from round 1 Left plenty out there but I'd take -13 all day long on that course. Got a jammy hole in one too best of luck everyone :-)

I think I best stay away from the locker room this week. 66, 67 for me. Likely right around the cut-line again.

Last two rounds scores from the big boys will b interesting to see.. With the right course management the winner could hit 40 under.. I'll call 40.. Could be well off! I as I said just didn't play well, and didn't come close 2 getting the luck that the likes of ant got with his big shiny ace

I liked the course. Shot -11 and -10 in first 2 rounds. My problem is getting 4 low rounds. I always struggle in one.

-9 3rd round. -30 thru 3. Don't think I have a chance at winning but maybe a top 5 or 10 with a strong final round
