I'm a newcomer to the KF tour from the promotion event. I was excited to get going but really fell flat in rounds 1 and 2 and am going to be missing the cut I'd imagine. -10 after 2. I just hope to turn it around and figure out how to stay on this tour for the long haul. Welcome and congrats! Not making the cut is not an obstacle for staying here. You only get demo marks if you are 120th or worse.

So people rarely get demos then? Welcome! And also nice to be reunited with Art Vandelay after he brightened up my time in the Challenge Circuit last season. This is the best and most fun tier in TGCT, fact! Recently we've been getting around 130/135 per tournament but I'd expect an extra 20 or so with the influx of promotions. Unless you really find yourself out of your depth (like I did on Euro!) you'll be fine. There's a lot of people between the cut line and 120th where Doyley starts handing out kisses, and even if you get one you just need a good week to clear it. If you pick up 5 you'll probably be pleased to go back down! Good luck and enjoy it

Hi Folks, New member of the children of the Korn here, probably just a cameo as I still can't believe I got promo'd this high...is this like getting a gig with UPS for the holiday rush? I'm Seasonal Korn? Round 1 was better than I anticipated, 3 Humphreys offsetting 9 chirpies. -6. Like the course, but I am no geography whiz but there seems to be more water on this course than in the entire state of AZ. Onward! How did I miss that you got promoted too?! Looking forward to the competition

Jumped from CC-F to KF (did better in promotion tournament then I’ve ever even done in offline rounds). Felt exactly as much a fish out of water as i expected. Let me see how long I can stay here...

Hi all,
New here as well; for those who don’t know me: Frans, Dutch, F-C-A route to get here, known for going for swims on courses with water.
Was really nervous about my first round; did not want to make a fool of myself... which I did, obviously: -3
Second round was better: -9
Hope I’ll be able to stick around here long enough to relax and not mess up like in that first round. 😊
Best wishes Frans

Hello all new kornholers, I am your charming, witty and ever so handsome host of the Korn Ferry Tour. I pride myself on making myself available to all kornholers, be they just arrived or been stuck here for years due to suckege. If any of you ever want to speak with me directly, please contact one of my secretaries at the schedulers mansion and a appointment will be made for you within six months. There are ways to shorten the wait time if you know what I mean. I also pay very close attention to these forums, as the feedback you give plays an important part in future course choices. For example, if one week we are playing on a tropical island in high winds and you complain, I will take those complaints into consideration and make damn sure that another high wind tropical island course will be played soon. So enjoy your time here on the pro tours.
The small print(enlarged for, the old and blind) 20 percent of all winnings are donated to the schedulers benevolent fund.

^^^And that ladies and gentlemen, is a large part of why this tour is the best on TGCT I loved this course, there's just something about it that fit my eye. Round 4 done. I was wondering who was masquerading as pablo in those first 3 rounds, then I saw the round 4 pins. There he is! Almost had an eagle 2 at the 1st but my flop lipped out at a snail's pace and..... trundled off the green. PABLOOOOO!!!! Got my concentrating head on and made nice birdies at the next 3 but then had my first little dodgy spell for a while. A couple of bad swings, a couple of missed birdie putts I could have got, par train all the way to the turn, still -3. To be fair, not unhappy with that given the level of difficulty. And then I got my putter back. Played the back 9 the best I've played all week, holed some really nice putts, stayed out of trouble, 8 birdies coming home to finish with my best round of the week. 64, 62, 62, 61 for -39. That might even sneak in the top 10 which would be unfortunate because I don't really want a green mark! Oh well, this is only the second cut I've made out of eight, I'm sure normal service will soon be resumed. Nice to show well for a change though Good luck all still to play, especially the newbies. See you next week!

Played 1st two rounds a few days ago. Same as @riotous went for opening par5 in 2 from the rough. Splash. Double. Another idiot. Frans should be happy... Scored 6 under, followed with a better 10 under. Was going to wait and see where the cut will be but a new 28 inch screen was delivered at my door and it needed a test run. Closed out with 10 and 11 under respectively, no dropped shots but for the double in the 1st round. At least i dont recall any Pretty happy with my score and 71 drop free holes as this course challenged me on my weakest areas which are chipping and putting on slopey greens. Now to wait and see if -16 will make the snip...30 mins to go before 2nd round reveal, think 16 should be safe

Nope, still not over my "suckage"
