61-63-60-66 - 38 under total
Weirdly had my best score in by far the toughest round (R3).
Round 1 is ridiculously easy and i never got a run going.
Round 2 was just meh. Dumb three putt bogey @ 9 - my only one
Round 4 - Played ok. A few bad decisions & the putts just weren't dropping.
Getting a little frustrated. Think i need to embrace my "Medium Player" status. I've had less than ten Top 10's in 12 months and yet still expect more of myself for absolutely no reason other than i used to be good.....

58 to open.Decent front 9 but start the back butchering the 18th ranked hole with a brutal pitch = par and felt like Sam Darnold vs the Pats seeing ghost breaks that weren't there on 17 missing a dead straight putt from about 6 feet . Round 2, 62.Tempo issues flared up on the b9 leaving me further from the hole than needed to be and then leaving a couple putts short in the jaws .Such is the life of the mediocre player. Will get the other two rounds in later.Just not swinging well enough to take on heavy winds and VF,VF 187 for round 3 atm. Great course.A few tee shots made me think twice adding to the risk reward. Best of luck to all.

Welcome to the club. I think you and I see eye-to-eye on this... We both are okay with variety in courses from week to week. I'm fine having a firm/fast course one week... and a slow soft course the next week. But I just don't understand how when we choose a single course for that week that we play the full extreme of conditions from soft/slow greens to very firm very fast? It seems to cheapen the experience... and we keep doing it... for no other reason than... the scheduler is able to do it? It's almost as if we are trying to NOT simulate real golf... going out of our way to arcade-it-up. Why? Why can't we just make it more realistic? Keep the designer's specs. Why is that so hard?

Fully embracing my "medium player" status. Shot -13 in round 1 to fall in the bottom third of the current leaderboard. My goal for the week is Top 25, so after my best PGA round to date I have my work cut out for me. Well played to those up top, hoping all stay there for 4 rounds.

Didn't realize there was a WGC this week after playing in the special events society last week. Logged a round in the PGA society. Works out, I didn't shoot very well.
I'm guessing there's not a cut in this event but if I wait til Saturday to play all 4 rounds will I get the no-show on Friday not being through round 2? I'm not necessarily planning on waiting until Saturday, but I might if it's an option.

-15, -14, -13, -9. I played well in the first 3 rounds with minimal missed shots but in round 4 I missed a 4 footer for birdie and it derailed me a bit:/ Should have been -13 but I proceeded to miss 3 more putts inside 8 feet...Oh well! I had fun. There are going to be some good scores so good luck peeps!

When you have to lag downhill putts inside 10 feet because the greens were built for slower speeds but we are playing 187, you have to wonder what the goal is? π€·πΌββοΈ Had an eagle putt roll off the green. Had to chip back on and it came up a foot short for birdie. Just dumb but thatβs the norm these days. You make every valid argument but it falls on deaf ears.

Oh, the putts that I missed had nothing to do with the conditions....just plain ol' human error...With that being said, I understand your frustration but keep in mind that everyone has to play the same conditions=P

Round 1 in at -18! π²π²
Game must be broken! ππ
I really have no words for how it happened. π¬π¬
Just one of those rounds where it was all really good. ππ
Made a 70-ish foot bomb for eagle which should've never even been on the green at all. ππ
My lone hiccup came by making a par on whichever 5. Tried to get cute and play from the sand. Hit a bad shot from there and had a world-breaker that missed low. ππ
Had another putt stop just short of the lip. ππ
However, it all came together for once for me here with 3 eagles, 12 birdies, and only 3 pars. ππ
Will be posting it in the "Show Me" thread later in the week. ππ
I know I won't keep it up, but it's nice to see me get it for at least 1 round! ππ
Good luck all!

Glad to see some people are enjoying the game at the moment. Finished at -38 for the week, and 2 shots shy of my goal. If you aren't a short swinger and the conditions are firm, you must make a ton of putts between 10 and 20 feet. I really struggled in that area this week. On to the next one!

So I'm -22 after 2 rounds and establishing I'm very clearly in the bottom 10 of the top 50. Kinda not displeased with that. No complaints about the course here...or the conditions. So many times real golf tournaments start soft and firm up through the weekend...I think that should happen more often here. Just my opinion. Good luck all...and good luck bowling burton31cat!

I tried telling you guys last week this Dale Brennan guy seems too good too fast. Being a detective I've pulled all of his purchasing records and phone calls to include his text messages. Oh my...several texts to someone he refers to as "Rhonda" on how to become a better flicker, also numerous texts about Hori pads or something of that nature...then wouldn't you know it..he goes -18 and says, "I don't have words..." I'm watching you Dale Brennan!!!!!!!!

Lol, I heard Daleβs voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.
-26 thru 2, disastrous pars on three of the 5s, just really terrible shot making. Made up for it with some good long putts but still filled with regret.
