Great notes from Larry... I just assumed that all these tournaments were putting contests. We're all pretty capable of consistently hitting approaches inside of 20-25', but i flat out stink with mid range putts. I took yesterday off work, played one practice round yesterday morning with perfect tempo and straight lines- and another round early evening where the tempo was all over the place and sideways M or W lines. I'll probably regret not jumping into the Tournament while the gettin was good.

I can only hit fast downswing the last rounds. Perfect is like impossible. Yeah, post patch even when I can get a P I'm usually right on the edge of the blue area; mostly nearly F on backswing and S on downswing. As my -16 should make the cut this week (great 50% cut record this season ) I went and finished up. Kept playing solidly (ignoring the ongoing tempo issues) for rd 3 and with some good bounces again had a 62 (-9). Onto rd 4 and my swing started to go a bit wonky, also luck with bounces finally turned the other way (fair enough after 3 rds of good bounces) had to scramble to a 67 (-4) to finish at -29. Will be a long way off from a Doyley green kiss but at least it should be a few Web bucks . Good luck to those yet to play / finish and may the tempo gods smile on you.

After missing the cut last week I was just out to make it this week. Went -6 and -9 to be -15 at the cut. Guessing I would be safe I played my last two rounds tonight and couldn't make a putt in rd3. Ended with a -4. I was pretty sure I would be nowhere near the top so just casually played rd4. Shot 13 under (one of my best rounds ever) to end with a -32. Maybe top 15-20? Good luck to all that have to finish!

Not going to lie, but I don't want to finish 2nd last again! Might need to practice...You guys are too good! Congrats on accomplishing your goal for the week.

The people at -12 have GOT to be nervous right now. They're 66th as of the time of this post, and likely 68th if the two guys sitting close by finish round 2. That would mean if just three people go above them they're out (there's also a guy at -6 who hasn't posted R2 yet).

Round 3 started well with -4 after 5 holes but then tempo issues popped up and my putter went ice cold and ended up -3 when all was said and done. Still haven't played anything better than a good round yet this season, yet I'm hanging in kind of mid-pack Webber. Would be nice to see things finally fall into place for that great round, even if only once.

Went ahead and finished up. Became an odd round as I suddenly found the sweet spot with consistent P/P and mostly straight shots leaving me more putts within 10 feet than usual. Mix my still cold putter with the every putt is still an adventure even if you hit it close greens and I didn't capitalize on my chances. Then suddenly my tempo disappeared again for a few holes but I actually started making putts for a change. Ended up with a -7 to finish the week at -25. Another respectable but non-threatening score from me as I just tread water in the uninteresting section of the leaderboard.

Decided last minute to get this Tournament in, stepped on the first tee and had instant regret when I figured out it was a template course with 187 greens. I put on a putting display for the ages- 5 putted the 9th for a dbl, 1 4 putt and 5 3 putts... 68 putts for 2 rounds! I better figure out how to putt on marble greens or my stay here will be short.

^^^^^^^ I was one of them!! Ended up T-68 when the cut off took effect. I was hitting the refresh every couple of minutes and I have no nails left on my fingers!
Shot -7 and -5 in the last 2 rounds to give me a total of -24. Not going to be pushing for a top 40 this week.

Made the cut and played solid mistake full golf the last few rounds - which get's me to 25-under. Can't complain, that's a good score for me these days. I'll take the pay check - need to finance Tim and Jeff's Web travels - they're running out of money hahah.
