I could never really find my footing on this course. I thought my practice rounds were going well as I was averaging between -6 and -10 on most rounds, but I ended up going 7, -4, -8 and -4 for -23 total. I’m expecting to lose my promotion mark just as quick as I got it. I agree with the others, there are low scores out there, I just couldn’t keep it consistent in rounds 2 and 4. I struggled to have any sort of decent eagle looks on the Par 5’s, with the exception of #15 in round 4. Oh well, on to the next!

After starting -11, I followed it up with a -6 and -7. Waiting to play my final round until I see where that stacks up. I had a couple of unwanted fast downswings that lead to a double and a couple of bogies. I've been fast tracked back to back weeks. Hoping just to avoid demo marks.

I put up a pretty solid set of rounds to finish the event, and got through 72 holes with just one bogey, which came on the 14th hole in R3. I missed the fairway on that one, and just couldn't get it to the green with the second shot, and it rolled back so far I had a 71 yard pitch remaining. LOL! I hit a mediocre pitch and 2-putted for the bogey, so definitely a bummer on my part for missing the fairway off the tee. That gives me a -8, -6, -9, -9 for a -32 total. I had one demo mark headed into this week, but I suspect that -32 will put me inside the top 100 and clear that for the next event. I enjoyed the course mayday_golf83 and I thought catcherman22 put some nice conditions on it for a challenging tournament. Thanks boys!

-15 through two rounds, but I felt that I really had to work hard for -7 on the second round.
I love watching the European Tour events in this part of the world and I think the designer has done a very good job with this course. You can score well but it's far from easy!

Looks like I underestimated the course...someone probably will go -50 on this thing this week from the look of it! And it wont' be me...pretty much as expected for me at the halfway point. I'm sitting at -10 after going 66-68. Swing tempo is bouncing between perfects, fasts and slows and unlike some weeks, there's not much of a discernable pattern or level of hole-to-hole consistency when they'll appear, so I'm getting a lot of 20-25 foot birdie putts and balls just short/long of the greens when I guess wrong. Got off to a great start in R1, going -5 thru the first 6 holes, but then had slows on the over-the-water approach and penalty shot on 15 (the latter fortunately cleared and stayed dry, but wound up short of the green, denying any chance at saving par. The hole repaid me in R2 though as my second played the slope left of the green beautifully and wound up 3 feet away for a kick-in eagle. Going to need a hero round in R3/R4 to avoid red marks though.

Solid, consistent 4 rounds of -7, -7, -9, -6 for an event total of -29. Should squish the single demotion mark I'm carrying & start with a clean slate next week.

Didn't get the hero round I needed...added a -4 and a -7, so finished at -21 for the week. Demo mark(s) expected.

I finished -19 for the week, not a fan of the course to be honest it just seemed any approach shots that were just off rolled further away from the hole. I'm sure some folk will enjoy the course but it just didn't suit me.

-34 this week. Hopefully enough to avoid a demo. We'll see. Feel like this course plays a little trickier than you'd think, but at the same time if you're on form there's a really low score out there. Couldn't take advantage of a good start in R1 (-13), nor a great start to R4 when I was -7 thru 6. A little surprised to see the 3rd round leaderboard has the leader at -34 and my -27 good enough for T12 currently. I thought we'd see a handful (but not too many) very low scores here. Looks like my -34 wont be too bad.

Looks like my -34 wont be too bad. Actually it makes sense, the third round was probably the more complicated, cause the mix of pin positions and firmness, such that an approach slightly longer and/or off the proper line resulted easily in missed GIR (and i KNOW of what i'm talking about here ). Is an interesting course, in which literally every score is actually possible. And for this reason, although i'm not a true fan of this kind of course, has been a very interesting challenge. Great work of our scheduler too, cause with this kind of course could be really easy to screw the week with some wrong setup (i think that with an increased firmness the course would be a true nightmare, for example), but all the four rounds are absolutely fair and enjoyable. The variety in the wind directions is also pretty realistic. Great work! Oh..and good luck for your final placement

I guess I'll at the very least get a top 100 and remove that one demo I have. I agree, a lot of scores were/are possible this week. Personally I feel I could of done better but not massively so, so I was relatively content with my efforts.

Yes, the same for me. I know i could score something better than my -38..but also a lot worse. My only hope now is to stay out from the promo mark zone by more than just 1-2 strokes, it would be a pretty annoying deja-vu, because the week before Bethpage, if i remember well, i missed my third consecutive promo mark (good to reach the KF Tour, finally) by just a pair of strokes. And a pair of weeks later, of course, i lost my 2 promo mark following a single, awful week. I'm still traumatized

Wow, I'm currently T31 right now, and I still have a -9 coming in R4, so I guess I'm safely inside the top 100 and will clear my demo mark. I'll take it!

Dodged a demo mark by one stroke here from the look of things...yay R4! Looking forward to this week's event on the Razorback. Was a fun course to practice around on. I definitely like the feel of it better...but I've said that before and just tanked during the week, so we will see...
