I haven't seen that nasty of lip outs since the large sorority did their duck face picture. Guess I need to give myself putts that don't break an inch on this course! Still ended - 6 but 4 of the worst lip outs I've had could've made the round better. Way better.

Round 1. -5 and just a story of so many misread putts, they looked much straighter than they were. I also had two awful bogeys. Round 2 was different, approach shots weren't as accurate at the start and 6 pars in a row was pretty much what I deserved. I had a -9 as a minimum in my head and this was pretty much the end for me. 5 birdies in a row changed that, I should have birdied every hole on the back 9 apart from maybe 1. Unfortunately I missed short chances including on the 18th. I finished -8 and I think -13 wil be 1 or 2 short. I might be the dynamic Cut line again this week which is an improvement of being the dynamic "finish lower than me and you're a complete loser" line I've been recently.

You know when people post pretty decent scores for their opening two rounds but still say "Oh, I doubt my -45 will make the cut this week because someone will really go to town on it. If only my putter would work!"
Well I am not going to say that. Sure, I will say that I may just about miss the cut this week. But that is largely due to me taking a mid round leak only to find, on my return, my 4 yr old daughter having the time of her life at my expense. Sadly I couldn't recover from the +16 mess that she put me in after her attempt at two or three holes!!
I promise I won't be letting that happen on the Web.com Ryder Cup!!

Although if she played two or three holes that does imply she sunk a couple of putts - pretty impressive I'd say

Ps hope your daughter is ok Naturally, like any reasonable man, I hold my wife solely responsible for being away overnight and leaving me to manage my daughter single-handedly. It was a ridiculous notion to think that I would prioritise my daughter's entertainment over an important round of pretend golf! Actually, I think they were in cahoots and it was all part of their master plan. And don't get me started on the state the house is in after just one day!!

Bugger! Looks like -14 is not gonna get the job done. I would feel a lot more comfortable at -16 but it is what it is - golf.

Watcher of the watchers Report 41 Hours RemainingBringing you your weekly report from a haunted shed on top of a hill on Saxony golf links the Sun is out but still the chills are rolling up and down my spine. The next time I play on a scampi00 course my caddy will be a Priest ! Watchersafe Zone is sitting at -20. Im shocked how low alot of players went this week I thought I was well safe -19 is a 92% shot to make the weekend for Course designer and Satan worshipper Seth Campion. -18 is at 71% to be molested by the Evil Spirits for 2 more days, we see Tim , Hootbleet , taffwars2904 sitting comfy -17 54% for North47 and bigtallchris who Stephen is using as a sheild against the spirits to have 2 more days -16 50% shot to make the cut for friendBOMBER -15 27% for Myself to dodge the watchers. Cut 3 of 4 coming what a bad few weeks im having . -14 20% for Vellerz and bogeyman -13 06% for The Dynamic Cutline to make it dh-nufc, who is joined by hilyerchris Yardboy77 and overr8edplaya. -12 and worse are cut Projected Cutline : -16

But if I do make the cut, round 3, which I did about an hour ago was a killer for me. The winds played havoc and the ball wasn't carrying the way I hoped it would. I was struggling through the round and on the back 9 knew I had to start being more aggressive. Was at -2 after 15 and decided to take a chance from 187yds...to just get close....by high lofting a 3 iron shot. The result?....a beautiful hole out for eagle bringing me to -4. Managed another birdie after that, so providing I do make the cut I'll be sitting at -22 after 3 rounds. I'll upload the hole out on 16 to the highlight reel of the scorecard soon. Best of luck to everyone this week.

I played the first round of the practice tour someone had created and shot -11 (61) without 100% focus/effort. After that and looking at the scores for the first round, I wanted something close to double digits under par, but would have been content with -7, -8, or -9.
Well...I sucked. Only way to put it. A terrible, utterly putrid -2 (70). I couldn't get anything close. And when I did find myself within 15', lip-out, lip-out, and more lip-outs. On a serious note though, I had more putts hit the lips than ever before. One even hit the lip and when the opposite way from the hole? After reading thru this thread, it appears others struggled with lip-outs on this course also. What gives?
Any who, I'm going to give Round 2 a shot tonight...with very little hopes of making the cut.
