I have had an absolute mare with this course set up!! I only practiced once, as I had a window of about 1hour and 30mins yesterday to get two rounds in, knowing that I am unlikely to get any more time over the next few days. I was hungover with the shakes after a charity golf day on the Saturday (where we started drinking dirty pints, which included the cream from someones sticky toffee pud desert )!! So, it was always going to be a recipe for disaster really. -2 first round, missed so many putts. And I was also very aggressive on two holes, that were an easy par and birdie, and ended up giving three shots up for being ballsy! Positioning wasn't too bad, other than this, but it just goes to show, you can't take everything on! I need to learn that, as it continued into round 2, now I knew I was under the cosh. I knew I had to absolutely attack the next round to get to -7/-8, which is where I personally think the cut will be. Started off solid, but not on flames, and the birdie train had her old handbrake up. Then disaster struck (in the form of wood!!) I had to get something going quick, and therefore decided to attack the 10th par 5 going for the eagle (to take me to -3, -2 at worst with a bird). I out drove all the ghosts I was following, and only had 257 or so in, with 7mph wind behind, so I double lofted the 3 wood, and I couldn't have flushed it better!! It was bang on line, and then inexplicably caught the top of the tree!! DONKKKKKK! Straight back at me! ErgggghhhhH!! The birdie was still on when I recovered the approach, it was 8 foot out, but downhill by -5inches! Well, you know the rest, ran on past and missed the putt back haha. +1 after 10 holes. Rage quit. I was actually laughing to be fair. I need to become more conservative, I am far too aggressive on dangerous holes, where fairways are narrow, or greens where pins are hard to stiff have contours Kim Kardashian would be proud of. Oh well, you live and learn. I hope. See you next week folks!

I didn't even cross over to play my own course this week knowing it was going to be tough. Enjoy Euros! I'll be sitting back like this. Wimp!!!

With it being a Canuck course I knew I should have crossed over this week. It's a really nice course but I can never hold a putt on his courses and am sitting at -8 for two rounds, which I think will be a shot or two too high for the cut. I can handle the thin fairways and yellow and red slopes all over the greens but I find those 5-10ft putts that turn sideways impossible to hold.

Oh right, seems scores are a tad higher this week. Maybe first cut made in a while then. Super duper.

I shot -4 -3 and I think I will be missing the cut.
I played some practice rounds and didn't have too much trouble here, but the tour rounds were totally different.
One part wind, one part choking I guess.

-22 (-12, -10) at the half way point. I played the f9 in Rd 2 appallingly, poor execution and missed opportunities, I also had two bogies during that round which I hope won't come back to bite me.
Good luck everyone!!

Massive LOL at my choke in the final round. Was at -29 after 3 rounds after a -10, -12 and -7 then final round played like an absolute tool. Got myself to -8 after 16 and decided to 3 putt 17 and 18 to make 2 bogeys. Shocking lol. Pretty angry right now.
Was abit pissed off with where my ball ended up on one of the greens, stopped at the top of a slope, no chance to stop it, almost consider the chip shot! Il post a video a min. It was stupid, ended up 50ft away but made my par but thats not the point!!
Hopefully soon i can put 4 rounds together get a win its been toooo long! Good luck any one yet to play!
