Whew, was able to late register. Didn't know that was a thing. Now I'll be watching the cut line. I think I'm out but hard to tell. I'm still thinking -11 for the cut but who knows. On a side note I played The Narrows today (Original version) in double digit wind and shot E I think you should throw in a couple of slightly softer greens and a 4 pin event on that would be fun for all the shot shaping you have to do. Most greens are certainly large enough to move the pins around......only a couple of greens I couldn't hold.

I actually prefer the softer version I released because you could club down if you didn't want to bend the driver and still have a chance. The softer version would make for an interesting TST event.

I am about 18 holes into this, unfortunately to much focus on the "The Division" open beta will have me struggling to make the cut, let alone avoiding the potential frustration of rounds 3 and 4.

What a difference a day makes! I started yesterday and shot -15 in round one. I was playing perfect golf. I hit my tee shot on one and realised that the conditions were soft. I then switched on the PS4 to get some practice in on that setup. I played a couple of holes to get an idea how the ball was bouncing and rolling out, feeling good I was ready to go back to my tournament and continue the onslaught of birdies This is where things got weird! A friend of mine rang me to say that his dog had gone missing, naturally I quit playing immediately and went to help find the little rascal Being a local to the area where he was last seen, I was the natural person to be put on the case After a couple of hours I managed to find him, he was with a lady and some girls in a park not far from me, rolling around and having fun He's quite old and has arthritis, so making a break for it is out of character for him. Just happy that he didn't get run over or lost Anyway back to my rounds, when I'd got back it was too late to get my rounds in as I had other things to do, so I played them today. Suddenly I had lost all feeling of how to play this game! birdies were hard to find and my touch had left me. I finished up shooting 57,63,63,66 for a -39 total. Very disappointing considering the start that I had. I truly believe that had I carried on playing yesterday I would have gone lower than that as I was playing so well. Maybe I would have shot worse? You never know? golf is strange like that. Just hoping to sneek a top 5, maybe have to settle for a top 10? Anyway, I enjoyed the challenge of the course, Sunday was brutal. Good luck to everybody still to play

I wasn't looking forward to this week at all. Never liked this course and I'm getting a bit sick of rock hard greens, so my expectations were poor. My first three rounds surprised me, shooting -7, -5 and -5 - not spectacular by any means but as good as I could have hoped for. Then round 4 bit my arse bad - my worst round so far on the Euro with a +4 that saw me nearly hurl my duelshock at the screen. What a complete disaster. If I never play this course again it'll be too soon. Not slagging the course, just my inability to play the damn thing.

Played like a complete and utter plank, even del boy wanted to call me a Rodney, but instead just stuck his nose up, turned and walked away
After seeing Catman over take me on the wgr I knew I needed a good week, but things took a turn for the worse and even Chrashbird beat me this week, now I know I am playing like a plank
Anyway after two 65's for -14 at halfway I thought ok that's fine, happy with that, then made the mistake of playing sat and sun without playing either, lesson learnt, and learnt the hard way, a 68 (-4), followed by a 71 (-1) with a double on the very last hole, to finish -19 for the tournament.
Vwp Ian, Tom, Bluey, Shoey and me mukka Nath, nice scoring gentlemen.
On the Brightside, Tony had a mare and I beat him this week, so there is always a silver lining.
I also wanna say VWP to Tom's Bro for earning his tour card, good to have you bud, atleast we can have one Humphries who doesn't moan
Wp all and good luck to everyone else

Bring it on Dave, Rodney, Andi or Andie....whichever name you go by I see we get to play Isla St Clair in 2 weeks, Brad will be happy as he was a huge Generation Game fan growing up, "Shut that door" Probably have people complain that its more like darts then unless we get a multi set up. I think youre safe with a top 5 Brad, Im hoping my -24 will give me a top 25.

Up on exemption this week. Played round 1 so far. Better luck next time.
I didn't play well leaving more to ask from my putter, but I still had 6 birdies so I should have been in decent shape for round two.
Sadly though I misjudged 16. Landed on the front edge and rolled to the back. First putt didn't make it back up. Second putt went off the green. Bad chip. Missed putt. Triple bogey. Combine that with another bogey or two and one where I dropped the controller on two making a putt go 5cm instead of 5 meters and I'm 1 under par.
I blame the ghosts. Usually don't use them, but what the heck. I might learn a thing or two playing on the Euros. And so I did. You guys friggin sink everything! Don't bother looking at my sorry excuse for putts...

I'm trying to play this for fun and i am finding it very difficult to get it close at all. My controller is feeling it right now, i'm surprised the sticks aren't broken.
Edit: I quit, had me smashing anything within sight, im afraid.

Round 4 was rough. Actually the back 9 of round 4 was rough. I was -4 thru 9 and then the wheels fell off. Finished -1 for the round and -18 for the tourney.

I think I best stay away from the locker room this week. 66, 67 for me. Likely right around the cut-line again. #blamehb #somebodyshot59 If it's any consolation I really enjoyed the course, it felt very fresh and different than most of the courses I've played and I found the set up to be very fair. Weekend was tough as hell but that's fine as long as it's not 4 rounds of absolute punishment. I had a very average week, wasn't bad, wasn't great so my feelings on the course are pretty impartial and I loved it, so nice work and thanks for your efforts on this course along with many others.

Well my first two rounds are done and I have somehow managed to ride that fine line and come out in good shape. No bogeys, some good scoring streaks and my best approach play to date has left me at -22 and I am now officially bricking it for this weekend setup I've heard. Part of me knows it could be a bloodbath if my game collapses in the high winds but having actually given myself a realistic chance for a top 5 another part of me - the sweet but stupid part - just wonders if some brutal winds and pins might work in my favour....
...and I am now sure to find myself somewhere on the back 9 of R4 staring at that last sentence with a twitch in my left eye.
