After speaking to Duds, who used to set a divisional banter thread each event, then the idea, because of low post counts in past, is now to have this one thread and i will post the new event each week for members to chat about anything relevant to that particular competition throughout the season. I am only doing this as Duds is due to be absent from here in a few months time. Please just chat away ;-) WEEK 1 : Billy Mays Memorial @ The Red Thorn Golf Club

Tough going round 2.
Headwinds on first 5 holes of 15,16,17,17 and 17 mph.
2 approach shots of less than 10 mph.
Good luck

I see my 2 practice rounds might have been a tease. I was thinking -36 would be average for the 4 rounds as I was killing the course. huge fairways and very very forgiving greens.
We shall see what happens when it's for real.

All of my 3 rounds so far have been under par but no consistency. Birdie bogey par par birdie bogey. Arghhh. ð

Pretty windy all 4 rounds, think 2nd was 14-17 or something like that.
greens looked very forgiving, but pretty deceptive. most greens were maybe alittle easier than average(and i did putt better than usual) but i had 4-5 putts that ended back by my feet and some uphill putts that went halfway to the hole for some very hard pars.
Most holes had pretty easy fairways, some holes were tight with driver but wide with 3w and most of those holes wasnt too long so not a harsh penalty. Overall a very nice course i played pretty well overall, unfortunately only 1 really good round, and guessing ill end up 1-2 strokes behind the promotion line once again

Well that was the strangest set of 4 rounds I have ever played: Solid -5 in the first round - 3 bogies off bad approaches. +1 through 9 in round 2, then ran off 7 birdies on the back nine (and missed a 5' putt for another one) - so -11 total after 2. Given that back nine, decided to play on, and opened round 3 with 2 more birdies, followed by a bogey at 3. Then got a nice VF downswing off the tee and 4 and hit it in the public toilet!!! Walked off with 7. Ok - still not totally disastrous. 2 holes later hit a beautiful approach - which clipped the top of the flag and shot off - followed by a 3 putt. Could now not buy a putt, and rounded out round 3 with +2, so again continued on (exemption chance has gone now) Another fast start - 5 birdies in the first 7 holes - and then dump it under the lip in the front bunker at the long par 3 - and could not get it out! Not just once, but 5 more times - and finished with a 9!! An up and down (and very quickly played) back nine later and I ended with another +2 So -7 for the event - that will be a strike then! WTF!!!!!

Haha Rob that sounds like me. Was plus 1 after first 9 finished -5.
I've now played 3 rounds and I think I'm -7 or some rusbbish.

Sponge golf.

I see the leader at -30 after 3 rounds on PS4.
I swear there is a secret to this game that people just find randomly and the rest struggle until they find it too.
