Played pretty well on my first round but being way to casual on short putts cost me three shots. I really need to start paying more attention for those putts. -8 for round one. Oh man, those 4 foot putts across the break that you hit too hard and leave you with a 10 footer, worst feeling in the game - both IRL and on here!

Final call - because I’m at home and to increase rivalry + interest I’m organising a Matchplay-esq tournament starting next week. So far only 9 have signed up, come on guys! You don’t have to do anything other than play your tour rounds (Golden Cow Rounds if you aren’t in the KF Tour)

There was a depressing consistency to the mediocrity I brought to this weeks tournament. I really liked the course and played well in practice. Somehow I managed to completely cock up at least one hole on every round leaving me at least 2 or 3 short every time. Lakes found, chips duffed, very slow swings from nowhere and just occasionally all of the above. I was nice to be on this tour but if by the grace of god I survive this week it is just the sword of Damocles hanging over me. up mup kupen nup it was a -17 total (-4,-5,-4, -4). I'll stay on the couch another week Art Vandelay if that's alright with you.

First round, missed a downhill sliding 6 footer for birdie which turned in to a 3-putt bogey on 2. Went for the green on 5 and plugged in the bunker, then hit two VF flops in a row for another bogey, +2 thru 5, wonderful! Battled gamely from there despite constant tempo problems to finish at -4.
Decided to go straight in for round 2 knowing I needed a good one. Deep breath on the first tee, game head engaged, VF in to the water, double bogey. Sense of humour rapidly draining. Two VFs on the par 5 with water up the left for another double. Almost gone! VF off the tee on 11, gave myself a bogey putt, ok that'll do it....
I'm not proud of that, it's only the second time I've rage quit in over 4 years playing these tours. Nothing to do with the course (which is very nice), everything to do with feeling like my Xbox is beating me round the head with a blunt instrument.
I'll take the double strike and I think follow my own advice and take a few weeks off. It would be a disaster to get bumped back to the land of mixed leaderboards but the way I'm playing that's where I'm headed. Time for a breather, get back in the designer and maybe play something mindlessly violent for a bit. Because to be fair that's how I was feeling anyway!
I will be back....

It’s a small consolation for you, but your clip made me laugh, it just needed a big divot to follow the ball. KF will miss you if you choose to have a break !

I got really frustrated yesterday. More than ever. Your clip made me feel better so thanks for that. I’ve been debating taking a break but not sure.

Took way to long to get going in round two. I was hitting the ball well but misjudging the distance, leaving myself to may 20 foot putts. I was even par after 12. I salvaged the round a little over the closing holes to finish-6 and -14 at the cut.

I won’t repeat what I was calling you over the first 12 holes or I would be banned from the forums.

Par 5 (back 9, green separated from the fairway),2 shot, 2 WD, Full High loft, 2 clicks of Drawer, hit p/p and dead straight in the blue - "go ball, go ball, yes yes yes" "oh no #### you Ben" as it looks like i'll have a 10 footer for eagle but catches the slope and leaves me miles away.

I'm SCARED. This course doesn't look Xbox friendly.
