Haha! Even if you hadnβt been bumped up, you would of been after this week. Thatβs great scoring how did each round go? Think it was something like: -14, -8, -2 -8. Round 3 with the high winds was really getting me. You?

It maybe means that you're projected to earn a promotion mark at the end of this tournament? I've just noticed you're using Master clubs so it looks as if you'll end up in the top 10 Master clubs users and thus earn a mark. That's my best estimation. Stupid question probably, and what does a promotion mark get you, how many do you need to earn a promotion?
Also if you dont mind, whats your golfers name, would like to keep an eye on how you do .
I'm Dr Eagle G on XB1. You?

Tough one for me this week. Started at - 3 which I was pleased with, but once the wind was introduced in the next three rounds I just couldn't figure it out.
Made some stupid mental mistakes too - firing away on my second shot on a par 5 (can't remember which hole) assuming I had acres of fairway to play with, then ending up bouncing off a bridge and into the water (twice π€¦π½ββοΈ), and missing a three foot putt because I dropped my phone and bending down to pick up I accidentally hit the stick. π€¦π½ββοΈπ€¦π½ββοΈ
Finished +6. This week is a write off.

I'm Dr Eagle G on XB1. You? Im SamHarriers on XB1 - my golfers name is the same as my proboards name.
That seems to be the general consesus about the wind so far, and i struggled on my first round. Triple bogeyed the first, bogeyed the second and double bogeyed the fourth. Luckily 4 birdies and an eagle salvaged that round from being a complete write off.
Hopefully i can figure the wind out for the next couple of rounds when i play them tonight / tomorrow. Scores seem to be lower this week as i sit 12th with +1 after one round. But then again there is a lot of people still to play.

Just noticed what I did - my forum name is dreagleg anyway so that's no help π
. My name on the leaderboard is Kevin Moore. ππ½

Got to say. Not sure what my finishing score was but it was bad. Was around +6 going into final round so already not really wanting to do it. Play my final round get stuck in a place where if I hit the ball it ricochets into the water but canβt declare it unplayable cause it was deemed fairway. Ended up having 10 shots on that hole so must of finished around the +16 marker maybe worse. I played badly this week but not that badly so I am peeved about it.

Oooh. Sounds rough. Anyone else feel the courses so far are set up much tougher than last season? Winning scores would reflect this I reckon - around 20-25 under v 30-35 under last term.

This is because of the use of courses from the CC contest.. starting next week, things should get a bit easier.

Very rough indeed. I thought that also Dr Eagle, but after getting a few practice rounds for next weeks course already to prevent the same as this week i can testify that it feels a lot easier, most of my practices were bogey-free rounds at around 6/7 under. Which probably means i will score about +18.

Well as of today I'm in 39th place with a score of +6, which would be my highest finish of the three tournaments this season, so I'd take it. There's just something unsatisfying about finishing in a decent place with a score that's over par. More like a war of attrition than anything else.
Having said that, I actually prefer the tougher courses as they really test you, so you know if you hit a good score, you've earned it and it wasn't just because the course was friendly.

I Hear what youre saying, i like to have to earn my good score. Seem to have to be doing that a lot after my first round being awful
Played 2 rounds of this weeks course - and despite not hitting over par in any of my practice rounds i hit
+4 in my first round.
Then played a practice round or two in the same conditions as that round and managed to shoot -4 on my second. I was as low as -7 at one stage i think but a double bogey brought my back to reality.

Hard luck there, but knowing you, no doubt you'll go - 12 the rest of the way!
I played the promo event. Finished at E, which considering I went +11 in the last event of the previous season, I'm pleased with, but also a little annoyed as I was - 4 for the tournament thru 14 holes in the final round, then went triple, par, double. Had to birdie the final hole to claw it back.

Front page of TGC tours, promo event, tap on details. Or it'll be under the announcements section of the forum. Open all this week so you can play it alongside your regular tour event.
