Threw a -9 and a -8 up on the board for my last two rounds, so in for the week at -31 and quite happy with it.
Like I said in my preview write-up, this was a fun, solid course that passes the eye test almost all the way around to be believable as a real course. Had a lot of fun practicing and playing it, so props Lane for your part in the collab that spawned it. It made for a good week.
Now to go prep for the Bandon birdie festival next week...early scouting report is the par 4's and 5's will yield a lot of birdies, but the par 3's might be the most psychotic set I've seen on a course. At the very least, I'm having a hard time coming up with one where I think all 4 of them are on the same level as these.

Victor had a -9 in R3 as well, so we stayed steady with each other in that round. I was very disappointed with my performance in R4, but it was a -6, so I'll be gaining a bit of ground on you in the money chase. I doubt it will be enough to overtake you, but it closes the gap a little bit. We still need to see how Jack Hammer does in the final two rounds as well. We has behind me after two rounds, but perhaps performed better than us on the weekend.
I'll start tracking who is behind me in the standings too, because it's always possible for the person in 4th or 5th to overtake me if they have a good week. It'll be an exciting finish of TGC2019!

Sitting on 2 promo marks, I might struggle to get the 3rd this week after a tough start here. -3 in R1 is gonna have me playing catch up for the rest of the week. Bounced back somewhat with a -12 in R2.

Bounced back somewhat with a -12 in R2. Not sure what the day-by-day conditions are this week, but guessing -12 for R2 is pretty solid. In my opinion that's the hardest pin set for the course overall. GL chasing that third promo mark!

In my opinion that's the hardest pin set for the course overall. GL chasing that third promo mark! Lower winds and soft greens in R2 meant it was a bit easier to get it real close. The very high winds in R1 made for tricky golf. I was -3 thru 11, had missed a couple very makeable putts too, but felt like a -6 or so wouldnt be so bad. Unfortunately a fast on the 12th saw me OB and I ended up with a DB there, promptly followed by a bogey on the next too. Cheers, I'll need a couple more of those -12 rounds to have a chance I think.

Whoa! Victor Lane made up ground on Simon and Jack on the money list last week, but what we didn't anticipate was several people dropping in from above. I'd say the chances of any of us three winning the money title is probably gone now. Haha!

R1: -6 R2: -8 R3: -9 R4: -9
Total: -32
I had some issues with the wind in Round 1 and many of these greens can leave you with nasty short putts if you hit the wrong side of the pin. The fairway dunes didn’t trouble me too much, except for the occasional awkward chip with the hill taking me one way and the wind taking me the other. I don’t think I’ll be getting my third green mark this week, but I should be safe in retaining the ones I have. Good luck out there!

I should have layed up with my 2nd but foolishly left myself an absolutely colossal putt and ended up taking 5 more strokes! And the 12th, oh man the 12th was not my friend this week. Relatively speaking, this is a tough track. Never really felt comfortable on the greens. Many putts just shaving the hole because of that one extra little bit of break not accounted for and so many times getting it fairly close but still left with a tricky putt. It was tough going at times. Just hoping to keep my 2 promo marks intact now.

Disastrous start in the high winds & firm conditions... could only muster 3 under par... dunno how those leaders do it. Much better round 2 with a recovery of sorts 9 under par. Got handed 2 demotion marks after last weeks capitulation... looks like my time in CC-Pro is coming to a slow but inevitable end!! Will play the final 2 rounds this week on Thursday.... Until then >>>

In at -15 at the midway point...-5 in R1 with a -10 in R2 (despite a double on hole 2...tee shot, slope backwards off green...chip, slow tempo...slope...ball back at my feet...rage chip long and 2-putt *sigh*). A few strokes back from where I'd hoped to be, but clearly I need to practice more in high wind conditions because I did way too many chip-and-one putt par saves in R1. My aiming point calculation seems to fade after about 15 mph.

You have a head start but I might be able to catch you!
