Up on my exemption from CC-A this week. Played OK.. not too thrilled with how many relatively straightforward birdie putts I missed though. Should probably have dropped at least a few more. Looks like I still need to spend more time on the practice greens! Round 1: 61 (-9) Decent round, but let a few easy scoring opportunities slip through my hands. Round 2: 67 (-3) Again, much of the same. Hit a lot of good approach shots, but missed too many putts. -12 through two rounds should put me above the cut line (I hope!), so those missed putts shouldn't come back to haunt me. Hoping I'll have my Web.com card by the end of the week! Good luck everyone! -12 puts you in a tie for 10th right now. After the dust settles when round 2 scores are due, I imagine you'll still be in the Top-15. If you manage two solid rounds for your Rd 3 and 4, you may slip inside for a Top 10 on your first Web tourney. Hell, you may even snag an exemption.
Nice shooting so far! Welcome to Web.
Thanks! Yeah, I am pretty pleased despite there being a few putts I wish I could've drained. My goal was to make the cut and get my Web card, and it looks like I'm going to manage that. If I somehow managed to turn it on for the last two rounds and get another exemption, I would be over the moon!

After a good first round I wanted to be able to play with a bit of freedom. I knew to do that I needed a good start. I almost had that, I missed an easy one in the 1st and then missed by an inch on a long putt on the 2nd. After that it was a struggle and my nerves were on edge. It was all about looking down rather than up. 7 straight pars were followed by my first bogey. Luckily my firdt birdie followed straight afterwards. 6 more straight pars still left my fait in the balance. I had missed 2 or 3 good opportunities in that stretch. I played a great shot onto the green on 16 and had a very short putt for eagle. Get it in and I'm home and dry. I then realised it is a 518 par 4! I embarrassingly walk off accepting the applause for a birdie. That got to my head as I gave that shot back on 17, hitting the sand with a poor shot. Onto the 18th, par enough for exemption, possibly bogey. I was relieved. I played another good approach shot but missed another putt. It was one of those no break ones, no beads at all! So an even oar round which should have been a few better. Still though, I've made the cut and for the first time in 6 weeks I get to play the rest of the weekend!

Was walking to the clubhouse after the 18th to submit my RD 2 score when a gust of wind came up and blew my scorecard right out of my dang hands. The darn thing kept zig zagging over the back lawn and eventually all the way down the 9th fairway. That chase was useless so I said the hell with it and walked all the way back to the parking lot, threw my clubs in the trunk and headed home, humbled. What a day. Haha... to be honest I actually really enjoyed the challenge of the wind in the second round. It taught me a few things. Props to the creator for a very good RCR. It was fair and I had multiple chances for birdie that didn't drop. Also had my share of bad bounces but everyone does. Not gonna "would've, should've, and could've cause you can't change the past. Here's hoping I make the cut this week. Good luck out there gentlemen... and ladies... I assume there are a few of you. Don't know for sure. Peace

I never posted my second round? Well. Happy to help anyone at -6 or worse as my +3 removes me from any talk about making the cut... It was +3 right Moe Slorkman?

Yeah pretty sure was +3 . Was thinking you mentioned in the other thread about broadcasting your rounds and might be an Idea if we could get 4 players on a live show (not turn based) each week be a bit of craic lets face it we're never getting out of web .

RD 1: -9 (61). Par on the first three holes by just narrowly missing some birdie opportunities...then I went -10 in 12 holes I believe. Followed that with a bogey and two pars to end at -9. Barely missed a few that I definitely could see falling. Hit the pin on a par 3 on the first bounce and it ended up a few inches from the front of the cup (either #9 or 15, not sure). All in all, satisfied with the score. I know I already harped upon it earlier in this thread, but man, I freaking love me some RCR! Especially one that I've walked thoroughly around at. Rd 2: -2 (68) Man, what could have been. 8 total birdies, with one or two more slightly missing. Two double bogeys and two bogeys. The frustration when my ball would almost come to a complete stop, just to watch it continue to trickle off those evil turtleback greens! Ha. Still enjoyed it though.
Rd 3: -5 (65) Rd 4: -4 (66) These last two rounds could have been better, but I was just going through the motions trying to get them done due to time constraints once again. I don't really have enough time for TGCT with my current schedule, but I can squeeze 4-6 rounds per week in here and there.
Total: -20. Not much of a chance for a Top-25 with that. I'll give the estimate of a T-37

I am sure glad I went ahead and played all 4 rounds when I started (last 2 out of frustration). I would hate to get back out there now after what round 2 did to me earlier this week.

Hoping I can get to my 2nd round tonight. Started off with a birdie on 1 after a -8 round, but got pulled away. Sounds like I could try and par to make a solid cut or go hard at it and contend for a Top 10. Winds will wreck havoc.
