Oops sorry didn’t see this til now Not a problem Kellen I had a bit of a nearly round. Hit the ball and judged the wind pretty well on the whole but a fast at the wrong time here, a slow at the wrong time there was the story at the start. Only bogey was at 4 after a clumsy 3-putt, I've struggled on that hole all week. Made a nice eagle at 6 with the helpful wind to get under par, then holed a nice 20 footer at 8 and got going on a good run from there. Just rolled off the fairway at the par 5 15th and couldn't scramble a birdie, and missed a decent chance at 16, but made birdie at 17 and another at 18 despite hitting a VF on my second shot in to a fairway bunker. My only VF in three rounds so can't complain! -10 after all that to sit at -33 thru 3, quite happy with that Great job Jamie! That’s really interesting to hear because I randomly got two vf on 18 in rd 2 and I hadn’t had a vf all day. It was weird.

Some good scoring in that second round, fair play. Looks like -21 is safe, -20 still very interested but will probably be hitting the refresh button over the next couple of days. 40/60 I reckon.

Wound myself up into a nervous wreck about round 2, I’m that desperate to beat the cut line!! Shouldn’t have worried, it was the best tee to green I’ve ever played, -10 with only 1 ‘lucky’ birdie. However I missed 7 birdie chances inside 21ft, just miss-judging by a couple of clicks left or right. Could be contending but happy cut making.

Bit sloppy on a couple of holes in round 3, found the rough from the tee a few times and it’s punishing on this course. -9 means i’ll Leave round 4 and The hunt for the Cow until Sunday.
question... irl you can use any club on the green, what’s the distance rule in TGC tour? Is it that you must putt if the flag is more than 100ft away or if you are aiming more than 100ft away?

Round 4 done, and now sitting very happily on the grass outside the clubhouse because it's shut, having a well deserved bottle of something continental.
Fairly slow start to the round. Should have got my redemption on 4 but missed a very makeable birdie putt, too many 2-putts on the front 9 but no dropped shots and reached the turn at -4. I wasn't overly worried, making the cut and clearing a red mark was the only aim this week. It's the only real flaw with the current system (IMO), if you have got red marks finishing 2nd is rewarded exactly the same as finishing 65th.
The round needed a spark and I got it on 11, chipped in for birdie after a rare missed green. I then drove the short par 4 12th and holed for eagle, and I was off! Birdied the lot from there, only real disappointment a decent missed eagle chance on the last.
59, 64, 63, 60 for a total of -46.
Winner will be well in to the -50's, I doubt that will sniff the top 10 but hopeful of scoring a top 25. The change of controller has worked wonders. Putting is a different game, I can't tell you how nice it is to finally have a bit of confidence with the flat stick. The surprising bonus is it also seems to be easier to control the tempo, I had more p/p's in this tournament than I've ever had previously.
The Euro Tour are playing the HB Studios this week, which happens to be my last win 4 years ago. For the first time in a long time I actually feel like I've got half a chance of getting in the mix for another one.

Well I'm down in 120th already, so this is goodbye for now. I think I'm going to switch to pro clubs down in CCA for the time being because my tempo has been awful lately and I don't plan to put in the practice time to improve any more. Therefore, I don't think I'm going to continue with the Hunt for the Golden Cow rivalry. Maybe I'll be back one day!

Whilst not rock bottom I am evidently not good enough for this tour. I will probably still continue with the Hunt for the Golden Cow, especially whilst lock down is in force as a few extra rounds just passes time. This week's debacle was as follows up mup kupen nupR1 -5 with a careless birdies and too many missed putts R2 -3 less said the better R3 -7 a bit more like it but with 2 eagles it should have been much better R4 -11 some hope for the future -26 for the week but I will be back

Round three was about getting my swing back and restoring some pride and confidence and for the most part I did. Stupid decisions cost me a few shots including to silly bogeys but that was me pushing hard for the matchplay, which really added a extra element to round three. -8 for round three.

UGH. -20 is now missing the cut. Shoot. Had good rounds in 3 and 4 so will be interesting to see where it would have ended up. Gotta figure out a way to not have that one bad round each tournament.

The Hunt for the Golden Cow, Week 3 so far: I had to look after some scores in the official leaderboard as they weren't reported yet. Would you please consider posting them all here as soon as you have finished playing?
