I don't happen to agree with that statement at all, but please also keep in mind that 187 isn't necessarily how the course was published, because schedulers do have the ability to change that for the rounds, as I'm sure you know, so it's a broad assumption to make that just because you're playing it at 187 on tour, the designer made it that way (which I don't think is lazy anyway). Carry on. I totally 100% agree. Sorry. As I said I was ranting. I'm just bored of TGCTours and the lack of any reason to worry about moving up or down. 57 events and one promo mark and no demo parks. Consistency sucks. The common argument is I am where I'm suppose to be. Well, that is boring. I refuse to make 100s of charts just so I can get better and I've played literally thousands of rounds. At 66 it's not like like thumb twitch is getting more accurate :-) Been here since almost the beginning and appreciate TGCTours and will continue to help fund it. BUT - what can ya do. Play left handed? LOL

I feel your frustration Rod, except I'm on the bad end of that. I've earned a demo mark in almost every week of the last 4 months, while sliding from CC-A to CC-D. I just don't seem to be able to play this game anymore. Thank goodness I can use the designer!

Well those 4 rounds were the most painful I've had for a long time. Glad it's over and hope never to play the course again (sorry designer, looks nice but not for me).
-25 total so not sure how many demo marks I will get from that!

Had a couple of practice rounds ready for next weeks qualifying, I forgot how tight and punishing Bethpage is! Really interested to see some of the scores compared to the last couple of weeks...

Greetings CC'ers… In the upcoming week you take on the PGA championship qualifier. This is similar to the Masters qualifier where some number of you (leave for Doyley to say the exact number) will get the chance to play in the PGA Championship. As such, this tournament is ment to be tough... You're playing this week at Bethpage Black.. which hosted last years PGA championship. It's set up to tackle all aspects of your game over the four rounds... It starts out firm and fast.. but then the storm rolls in and slows / softens the course but picks the wind up. Just a fair warning that this week is up there in difficulty. If that's not your cup of tea, or you are worried about getting a demotion strike or two.. this might not be the week for you You can always try your hand at cc am tournament (played on the same course, but slightly easier conditions) Good luck and have fun!

Welp, looks like the freefall slide has continued and I'm in CC-C this week. Twas nice to play four challenging rounds at Bethpage, but man, those greens! This is a public course in real life, right? Imagine paying actual money only to go and 6-putt at every green! (Or that may have been me in my TGC rounds, possibly...) Still, I think I prefer the tougher courses, even if my scores don't really reflect that. 15 under total should get me about 7 demotion marks, I reckon.

Urgh I hate Bethpage and Bethpage knows this - love watching a 4ft put hit gently roll 40ft and off the front, my fault for hitting it passed the pin but damn.
R1 & R2 we're all about trying to sink 18ft rescue par putts, if you hit the rough it's bogey land for sure.

This is a tough nut to crack! First round had 5 birdies and 2 bogies for a respectable 67. Would have had another 3 birdies if the putting gods were on my side but the ball stopped on the edge of the hole That said, I'm pretty chuffed with a 67 on this course!

Glad that's done, didn't enjoy it at all. Should have switched back to pro clubs for that.
-10 through all 4 rounds, so many lipped putts.
Gimme that sweet sweet red arrow.

Round 2 fared better, I managed -9. Had a couple of good par putts drop and a bogie free round!
-12 under after 2.

I had a very strange start to the tournament. I was -2 after the first round, and then 9 holes into the second I was -5 and flying. Thought I was in with a real shout of doing well. All of a sudden, almost every downswing had a slow tempo and I was all over the show. I couldn't hit anything right and I was missing putts too. Nightmare back 9 to end -1 for the round and -3 overall. Work to do in the final two rounds

Struggled my way to -4 for the tournament. I suspect a demotion may be imminent!

Damn!! It's quiet in here.... Oh! well.... For those that do like to frequent the thread I will be joining y'all next week as I drop down a flight due to the fast tracking demotion system. Scanned the CC-C leaderboard & spotted a couple of cyber buddies inflames47 & bogeyman so life won't be too bad whilst we all wait for the new game (PGA 2K21) & another Q-School to shuffle the Challenge Circuit pack once again.
