I don't find the course too difficult You are not really the target demographic for this event Apparently the PGA consistently schedules courses where you have 10 yard landing areas, covered in mounds and you rely a lot on the luck of the bounce as to whether you are in the fairway. But even if you miss it, the PGA folks are good enough to stick it from 185 yards out, into a 10 mph wind and a 70% lie.

So how do I find out if I am qualified for the event or not, please? Call me silly but all I have seen is that I will be auto registered of I pre qualify so who knows. I guess I can go see if I can play the tourney.... Looking forward to giving this a go.

You missed out the following:
1) Very high winds
2) Greens with the pin set on top of a mound every hole of every round
3) Pins tucked behind bunkers / water / (insert hazard here) on a sharp downslope
But it's fuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn!!!!!

On 13, I was trying to hit the ball up that 2 foot high hill/tier, and I hit my birdie shot.... didn't even make it up the hill... so I hit the par shot, and it was even worse, it didn't make it and then rolled back to me, and behind me.... So I sighed and just smacked the next shot as hard as I could..... and it went in for a 50' bogie putt. Go figure!!
But all in all, did the courses get switched? LOL This course isn't near as difficult to me, as Kass Mountain, the CC-Z course is!

Any thoughts/predictions on what scores will be needed to move up to different tours?
I'm in CC-B and probably should have stuck with pro clubs and tried for CC-A. However, something in the back of my head told me to play master clubs. I'm -7 through 2 rounds. Now thinking this wasn't the best idea.

Kass is certainly not an easy course!

Looks like a top 5 needed for Euro folks. Wheeeeeee. Let the crap shoot begin? How does negative work? If you play and suck you get moved down? Kidding.

So just curious, since there are negative numbers, meaning those are over the allotments, are the top tours filled up with people that move up, therefore opening up space for those overages in D,E, and F to move up?

Just a reminder that if a tour has negative slots available, there still can be promotion slots available when it's all said and done - just need XX number of players to promote out before positive slots available. See the results from TGCT Promo Event #1 to see how it all shook out the first go-around. There were a few tours that had negative slots available initially but then had slots available when promotions were taken into account. Going to be a lot more movement this event.

Any thought of making it where people can only jump 2 or 3 fields and not from CC-Z to PGA?

Here are the updated tour sizes heading into Event #2. Slots available are now firmed up. Ideal Tour Size/AVG Field Size/Slots Available

Does this not seem to say that more people are getting demoted than there are getting promoted? I.e. it's a lot easier to go down than it is up. If so, do the promotion rules need to be adjusted slightly to even this out? Or is this all because of newcomers being placed into already filled, lower divisions, perhaps where the majority are not good enough to get to the higher divisions? Or have the ideal division sizes been changed where you may be trying to get more into the higher tours? Just wondering.
