I had a decent 1st round, missed a couple of eagles by inches and shanked a 3 ft gimme putt to my dismay. Finished at -12 which could've easily been 14 or 15. Started the second round and played the first nine even, 2 birds 2 bogies. For some reason it took me those nine holes to get accustomed to the green firmness and speed. I played a desperate back nine, found some form of rhythm and managed five birdies to leave me on the cusp of the cut. Time to sit back and wait.

Well, I finally put up some good scores for all 4 rounds: -15 -8 -8 -7 Not going to win but I'm hoping for a good showing on the leaderboard.
As with everyone else I am sure, it could have been 4 to 5 strokes better.
I am actually golfing for real tomorrow. First real round since I started playing this game. I wonder if it will help or hurt me!

Wow, just f@cking wow. Positioned myself nicely with a -15,-8 to open the tournament, then made a huge climb up the leader board on moving day. Had a round where everything seemed to go in, -15 with 2 lip outs. And then the luck ran out -4 on Sunday, letting a possible win slip away. Can't be disappointed with the result, but I can't help but think about what should have been.

Finally getting to finish my last round, a day later than planned but one child was difficult to get rid off, only leaving last night when the temptation of as many Easter eggs from as many houses as possible proved to be to much. Will the enforced break help my round? Or will my bad start continue, time to find out. Not hitting my tee shot straight was something I could have done with out, the ball then bounced onto the green from the rough, leaving a tricky putt when staying off the green would have been better. It worked out though when a fabulously judged putt brought me back to even par. I had another tricky putt on eight but this one would not drop, it hit the edge of the cup and rolled away, I made the par putt coming back but birdie was needed. A par as usual on nine, even par after nine has pretty much taken away any exemption hopes, the back nine now was about finishing as high as possible.
A chip in birdie on ten was a great start to the back nine and was badly needed, the pin position was tough and while I did go for the pin, my accuracy was poor. It was not a easy chip so was a nice boost to see it drop. I could have done with being off the green again on eleven, I was left with a long putt which I left agonisingly short, if I had hit it a fraction harder it would have dropped, a birdie that got away. I was just not getting my approach shots right and putting to much pressure on myself with long putts. That pressure took its toll on twelve with a dropped shot, poor putting all round that time. I got that shot back on thirteen but to little to late, came close to chipping in for eagle, it might have dropped on the first three days but not today. I followed that with another birdie but could not get a birdie streak started. I played what looked like a good tee shot on fifteen but the ball rolled that little bit to far giving me a down hill birdie putt that I could just not convert. A bit of luck finally came my way on sixteen with a flop in eagle, giving my score card a better look and feel. Not sure I deserved it bases on the way I played but happy to take it. I had a chance of going five under on seventeen but tried to hard, tried to slam a uphill putt home but only succeeded in making it hop over the hole, a reflection on the way I played my fourth round. I finished up with bogey when again I tried that little bit to hard to finish three under.
This was a week that could have been, fourth after three rounds only to play so badly on the last. I was still only three shots off exemption but that last round showed I am not ready yet. So I am not to disappointed, a top ten is a lot better than I expected at the start of the week. I finally showed that if I play well, I can compete on the web and three very good rounds of golf. If I can do this for two or three weeks in a row, then I will be ready to fight for a exemption. One good week does not make me euro tour quality but does give me confidence that someday I can be.

Pity about the last round but well done overall.
Anyone posting that score over four rounds is a star in the making,a future great,a veritable god of the greens - in my opinion.
