I’m itching to get in my second round but I have to wait for my buddy to get home from softball... stupid softball! 😜 We play these rounds together turn based.

Bogey free 60,64 to be -20 on Saturday morning. You know I was really enjoying seeing my name at the top of the leaderboard(even if I know it’s plummeting Wednesday morning) but then you had to go and ruin it, thanks a lot! In all seriousness though sitting at -20 after two days you’re primed to get yourself that exemption. Hey Thanks Knothead - exemption looking good but anything can happen with the randomness of TGC2 and its sporadic swing system.I have been bouncing between Pro and AM and honestly i want a win not an exemption
This course though is only a moment from kicking my ass i can feel it.

Couldn’t wait on him any longer and just went ahead and played my 2nd rd. Shot 67-5 Sitting -8. Should of been a 65, missed a 6fter for bird and ended up with a bogey. I love Sawgrass!

I don't like Sawgrass! For someone who has learned to get it with distances and can judge wind, but my main struggle is to push the stupid stick back and forth straight each time, courses like this are very hard! This will be a struggle in perseverance! R1 is over with a 73 and I said, 'whew'.

I'm seriously itching to get home and play!
Less than 24 hours to go, might need a few practise rounds to remember how to swing though lol. Rust builds up pretty quickly!

Did a little better in R2. Avoided the big mistakes and managed to shoot a 66.
69-66 has me -9 after two rounds and in good position to clear my strikes. Let’s hope the wheels don’t fall off in R3 and R4.

R2 a little better, hole out on 9 and a 22' bird on 17 helped (71) +4 R3 tomorrow.

Well, felt good about my first 2 rounds, then 18 in R2 happened. Apparently a 4mph breeze is going to move a shot right to left 15 yards... twice. Took an 8 and now I'm back to -2 for the tournament.

Took an 8 and now I'm back to -2 for the tournament. 18 has been a frustration for me as well. Both approach shots in R1 and R2 moved significantly more than I anticipated and I 3 putted to boot giving me a Bogey-Bogey so far on 18. Those bunkers along the left seem to have a magnet in them as well.

Agent DB here for another tale of terror!
I was having the best game ever. Everything, EVERYTHING was going right. I had played a practice round on another course, did great there, and it continued right into Sawgrass. Was actually hitting the ball straight as an arrow, putting well, I was -3 by hole 7.
Then, number 8, was simply putting a one footer in for par, and mishit the stick, knocked the ball way too hard, it skipped the hole and bogey. That unnerved me a bit, so I bogied 9. Then on 10, had the ball up on the green right near the hole, to get back in rhythm, and hit one of those stupid phantom breaks, or whatever you call them, TWICE, and triple bogied a hole I should have birdied/parred easily. It absolutely threw my game off.
From -3 on 7, to +4 by hole 12... 7 strokes gone in the blink of a putt.
I took a couple deep breathes, got my composure, and managed to start a small birdie run around 14 or so. had salvaged it to where I was just going to be +1 or 2 I think on 18, had got back to hitting straight, and hit a great shot off the tee. Then the wife got home and came in trying to talk. I say, give me just a minute, just a one minute, to finish this! The damage had been done though, bogied that one.
sigh.

Round 4 wasn’t so kind... may hold on for exemption but won’t win. I enjoyed the course which is odd cos some didn’t.
Oh and this happened....
