Well those first two rounds were a game of two halves......unfortunately the good half only last the first nine holes, where I was -6. Hitting it well, holing makeable putts.......and then lost the plot for most of the rest of it. Only a little birdie-birdie-eagle run late in R2 salvaged some pride, but rounds of -9 and -5 aren't (as usual) going to get it done.

-16 at the cut. No bogies but only birdied half of the Par 5's and swing wasn't consistent enough to hit it close enough to make the birdies. A few putts snuck by too.
Think i might just sneak in this week though.

Disappointing. Struck ball pretty well, but adjustment were a hair off and missed too many putts on the edge. -14 will be a couple short of the cut. Played out the last 2 rounds, all I have to say is good luck!

65-63 to finish -32.
Happy with the final round - won't be too many better in those conditions
Round 3 - again parred three of the Par 5's and made my only bogey when i accidentally putted it 1 inch .
Competitive action does funny things to my swing. Some curious lines
Oh and is everyone else getting the lag on this course?

Another MC. What? I get to possibly play four rounds next week in a minor event while the big boys are playing the Led Zeppelin event?!? Awesome!

R1, hole 2, around 114yds in, downwind, the missus popped her head in to ask something, i then proceeded to play my shot and inexcusably hit 136 by mistake (had to watch replay). Great start. Salvaged a -9. R2 -8 so -17 might just make cut..R3 -4 🙄 Couldn’t be ersed playing the last round, will wait and see if I have too. Playing to pins closely surrounded by slopes is getting a little tiresome though.

Rounds 1 and 2 in the books and while I certainly left a few shots out there I was quite happy with -10,-9. Normally I pack it in and if needed play the rest later in the week. I decide to carry on and play round 3, same guy swinging the club and nothing felt really different but the tempo just goes to shiiittte.Had a few putts just burn the edges but really wasn't in position to make much despite the conditions being the easiest of the 3 rounds I thought. To add insult to injury I get this lie on 18.Limped home in -6. Apologies for the huge picture.I'm still not exactly sure wtf I'm doing when copying/editing screenshots. Enjoyed the course.Despite the length I felt it played fair so far but round 4 with heavy wind may prove me wrong.Best of luck to those left to play.

Will be wishful thinking to make the cut after -6, -6... missed so many putts by a pube in front or just behind the hole, sideways, with a few lip outs to boot. Aside from that, I was hitting it in every direction possible, North, South, East and ... not West actually. No West. West... Nope. Maybe next week. Anyhoo, here's hoping for another exciting week in API factor - 2020. Nothing else for me to see over the weekend

I'm on the other side of the lake yelling "YEAH, THAT S**T HAPPENNED TO ME TOO". 2nd hole in my case.
Think this course would play better with slower greens. There is (rightly) a premium on being below the hole, but on some of the pins it's virtually impossible to do in Very Fast/Firm conditions - you've hit a decent shot & as Fred Durst would say, it just keeps rollin....

FYI I've got this course on my radar for TST at some point - but not off the back tees (would move it to the 7400 tees). That changes up quite a few of the holes considerably (eg 9th goes from D+3i to D+pitch!) - and slower and softer plays nicely then
