If you're referring to me, I actually played 0 practice rounds and work 50-60 hours a week accompanied with weekend travels most of the time. I usually have barely enough time for 4 tournament rounds and maybe 2 Elim bracket rounds if I'm lucky. I don't doubt there are some who practice until their blue...but I just had a good round. About to go squeeze in rounds 3 & 4. Wish me luck! Good luck, that is some crazy scoring. And my comment was meant to be a joke and in general, not specifically you. Are you on PS4 and have Roman numerals in your username? If so, following that ghost ball was demoralizing. Ha Isn't that Mark Custard? He's on PGA and WR 17th.

9th hole. Maybe I'm just not skilled enough. The only way I can see making the middle tier was a chip from the rough at the side. You could make the upper tier but then you can't stop the ball rolling past the middle tier and off the green. I would be happy having to aim for the upper tier if you could putt down and get it to stop. That hole caught me out when flopping / pitching too. During my practice round the only way I could stop it was when chipping from the semi rough.

I missed the fairway on my 2nd on the 9th. I made a terrible 3rd shot and rolled back off the green. I made a good 4th shot from there and made the par. Here's the video:

RD 3: -1 (70) - Couldn't get a putt to drop. Quite the polar opposite from rounds 1-2 for me. Double bogey on 18 to end things nicely of course.
-24 after 3.
Saw the leader was at -27 after 3 so I figured I needed a pretty decent round to give myself a chance. -6 going into 18, I thought if I birdied and ended up -31 overall, I might have a chance. Well, hit it short in the water. Another double bogey on 18 .
RD 4: -4 (67)
Total: -28. I don't believe I got the win, but without a doubt an exemption. Could have played better in rounds 3/4. Oh well. Challenging course though. Some enjoyment, some frustration. Overall 👍🏻

Man this course makes you work sometimes! I played round 3 alone just now with @mrkuo ( canthitstraight - think that is your tag )as my ghost and was feeling pretty good at -5 thru 9, but ended up fighting my way through the rest of the holes to finish -5 while mrkuo blew past me with a -11, I believe. Well played, sir, even though I know you are only practicing .

Finished a couple shy of exemption this week, but it was a nice return to form after missing a few cuts lately. Good luck to those trying for the big leagues next week, and I hope the rest have a good time at crooked stick provided they're behind me lol

Well after 3 rounds of careful golf I lost all my gains in the final round and finished E. That final round just sucked the life out of me and gave me back sweet Fanny Adams. I don't mind the course at all, in fact I quite like it. If I had designed a course like this I would be rightfully proud of it. I just think the final round was "tricked" up a little too much. Not a fan of that - sorry. OK whinge over on to next week.

I agree with you about the course, very challenging.
