just shot 71 on Son Gual and you would think that would be the most difficult but no, i managed to make birdies and even a hole out eagle from around 180 yards. Ok tell me the truth,on that 180 eagle...did you hit ball where you wanted it... did it track the way you planned it would track, or was it fire and hope for the best?

it was actually where i wanted to hit it for once although i thought it would be short when i hit it.
it managed to roll up the green and in. i know there may have been a bit of luck involved.
i have also found that if i hit it quicker i get some more accurate shots, but still get the left shots.

Yea the 6th hole on Crawford mines is a disaster,so frustrating and for most people an end of round hole.I am glad to see it is being altered.The rest of the course is a 9/10 for me.

starting to get frustrated with copper creek national again. yet again i get off to a good start in the practice tour (-8 thru 2 events) then i start copper creek +6 thru 5. i hate the course with a passion and combining my left problem with copper creek is a nightmare. i can't even see myself making the web.com tour if copper creek continues to be a pain. even if im slightly off line i seem to make it into the water or a hazard and everything seems to be against me on copper creek. it is very difficult to even finish the practice tour off because of the mood it puts me in. I'm right there with you on that course so much so that I don't even really practice on it anymore or when I do I have to "forget" what course I'm playing or I just start the round pissed off and do even worse I can shoot E to -3 there I figure that's good enough to at least not destroy my Q-school so I highly doubt I'm going to play it much until the one round we are forced to play and now with harbor island blacks frame rate issues on XB1 I can't even practice there if I wanted to

copper creek is made to be difficult so your rounds are bound to vary.
an example i have of feeling good about my game and not actually shooting well is the last round of the beta tourney that is on. i was -4 for the round on the front nine then i managed to get myself in a place i couldnt get out of and made a 12, shooting 74.
my game felt really good after early birdies but all it takes is one shot (sorry about rambling on)

Doyley, where do you think +11 would of got me. I could of done better with a few birdie putts hanging on the edge or lipping out. doubt you will make any cut mate, look at the latest torny scores +11 will put you in the hight 200 spot the top scors are a joke to the game and brings this tour in to disrepute, i may not even bother playing this Q school, AND PLEASE PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THE OLD STORY "SOME GUYS ARE JUST THAT GOOD" yes they are "just that good" at cheating other members.

I could shoot by best on any course, 4 times, and still know I have no chance to win. For me I think it's worth doing badly in Q-School and just going Web.com tour. Of course I won't tank on purpose but is there a way to get top 250 and select Web.com instead?

not as many tournaments on the web.com tour but could you play on the champions tour or executive tour in off weeks?

Please refrain from calling guys cheaters for shooting good scores. There are a lot of great players on this tour that play legit and can shoot lights out. Heck I even shot -12 last night in 15mph winds. It can be done. Some guys are just skilled. I actually play skype and turn-based rounds with some of these guys that help me run this tour and just watch them tear up a course. Remember, we will offer the Champions tour for those looking for less stiffer competition. But the thing I have come to realize about this game, is there are guys out there that are just better. Do you think the guys that miss the cut week in and week out on the real life PGA call call the Rorys and the Tigers cheaters. No, they call them great.
