A short visit from me this week - tempo issues and a LOT of head scratching shots that did nothing like the swing line / tempo / wind / lie etc would indicate they should means I'm 2 and done at a hideous -7 total.
Good luck all.
I thought you might like some company.

-12,-10 for a -22 at the cut. I hit it well, wish I could putt better, I might be able to make a run in one of these things. Finished-9,-10 for a -41. Should be firmly in the middle of the pack.

I see next weeks WGC course has been changed from the HB official one to Cypress Dunes that hosted the 3rd US Open qualifier last month. Figured I'd give a heads up to those who like to practice early and hadn't noticed.

I opened with a +1... am I in contention? And I followed it up with a -13 round 2.... yay me.

What the heck is wrong with the leaderboard?

Not seen it but I’m guessing that the qualifiers populate it first just like the US Open...?

Set off with -8, and played really, really well for it... Never in any trouble, gave myself plenty of chances but couldn't get a putt to drop for love nor money...
Followed it up with -7. Front 9 I played some great golf again, but missed a couple of easy chances... Back 9 was a bit loose, bar 1 or 2 nice holding shots against the wind, but yet again, chances went begging by the smallest of margins. I also had a few shots that thoroughly betrayed the swing/lie/wind that I was expecting, turning birdie chances into regulation pars or worse.
-15 surely won't make the cut, so no doubt I'll just be spending the rest of this week trying to work out how to swing it like the best. Good luck everyone!

Atrocious Course, absolutely abysmal, how it got picked for a Major is beyond belief Rangering process needs to be looked at Pins in horrendous positions Green Grids lying Lag on the course was unbelievable Hold on, no wait a minute, my apologies none of the above is relevant I'm just a Crapster -14 thru 2 M/C for sure, played superb, no sorry, played like I can Good Luck everyone, play well.

I'll take a piece of that action too When do you want me to reveal my craptacular R3/4 scores for you to beat? PS Andi - while you were (semi) joking about lying greens - there was definitely some BS going on on the 18th in R2 - both the ghost I played with, and myself had about 15ft for birdie, all the beads moving (slowly) right to left - and both our putts went to the right by around a cup (fortunately I'd seen his, ignored the beads and actually made mine!)

First two rounds in and... First round I just wasn't striking the ball right and had some bad shots that led to bogies and a very mediocre -7 Round two I was swinging much better, left plenty of birdie opportunities AND....got an albatross on the back nine par 5 Finishes -12, so sitting at -19. Not bad after my poor round 1. Plenty of players haven't started, but that should put me somewhere in the top 15 or so after two, so no complaints there. Hoping to finish strong in another Major. Wish I had been playing this well all season so I could have made the Ryder Cup, but I think that ship has sailed...anyway, good luck all.
