Round 1 is a great example of a very fitting way to use VH winds, kudos.

R1 -8 played okay, never really felt I was playing my best stuff. R2 -13 played okay, never really felt I was playing my best stuff, but my god my putter was working a charm. Made some cracking putts on front 9 in particular. Missed one easier one on 17 which would have got me to -14 but I ain’t gonna complain about that. Par on the last and in club house after 36 at -21.

Wasted a lot of shots in round 2. Another one of those weeks where I have to sweat the cut line (-19 is probably good?), but if I make it then I played great over the last 36 and should find a top ten.
Fun course, good job on the setup, not just the wind but keeping it very firm and default speed. The greens fooled me a few times but I found the very fair

Well I'll be very surprised if I make the cut...first round in at -9...I was ok with...round 2 conditions are great, feeling good, and start with birdie birdie...and then I couldn't do much right after that and went for a terrible -7 So -16 after two #notholdingmybreath

Two and done for me @ -13. Just not my week.
Round 1 was plagued by tempo issues (VH winds messes with the frame rates, i swear) Birdied the first four holes and the last four. In between was woeful, several very slows. Missed a five footer @ 7.
Round 2 i hit it much better but putted horrendously. Everything was low by an inch. Found an impossible spot @ 18 and then left my par putt right on the edge and bogied the last which kind of summed it up.
Nice course, well set up. Some bad pin positions but that's about it.
Sad to miss another cut. Not that disappointed to miss out on two more hurricanes though

PGA R1 Eagles: 0 Magic: 0 Stupidity: 1 Missed <10ft putts: 3 Total: -8
[edit - how could I forget my double on 2, after failing to get a chip up the slope (I would always have flopped this, hence my stupidity marks above), and then also failing to get my first putt up it too]
Putting line has gone to sh%$ again. All 3 <10ft ones I missed had a massive pull on the backswing.
PGA R2 Eagles: 0 Magic: 0 Missed <10ft putts: 0 3 stab from 15ft: 1 Total: -12
-20 at the cut should do it, but frustrating that such basic errors in R1 are so far costing me going into the weekend with a chance.

-9 R1 -13 R2, and really should've been 15 or 16 with misses on 10, 11 and a bogey on 15. Crazy green on a par 4 that long!
-22 at halfway and in the top 10 on the PS4 leaderboard at this stage.

Another MC
Don't get the tiny green on the 500 yards or so par 4 14th hole. But still enjoyed the course. My swing was not behaving for my two rounds.

Ah... played as perfect a shot as I was capable of there in R2... cut it into the wind and it landed in about the only place it could land, and skipped up to 15ft above the hole for a really good birdie chance...
That was my 3 stab as I hit the first putt through the DH break and the putt back didn’t break at all. Fond memories.

It's a Par 5 in the regular version (& IRL) turned into a Par 4 in the Tour version Correct. I left it up to the designer on what he wanted to do with it, I suggested possibly just lengthening it a bit and keeping it a 5 as it played as a short iron in if there was no headwind as drives would get all the way down that hill. Course ended up having some teeth as a par 70 for sure.

-14 in the practice round (high winds) but we're all class in practice. -7 in R1, swing was really good but it's still about what I expected with how ass I am in VH winds Was excited about R2 conditions but I stumbled to a -9 finish. Swing was all over the place. Assuming I miss the cut at -16, which will make it my 5th in a row, rough patch of form. All the best this week folks Played the last 2 anyway cause nothing else to do during quarantine -12 and -11. Of course I play respectably when there's nothing at stake. Just like practice. Honestly thought the VH winds this week were reasonable for a change, maybe its the course layout idk, either way had fun despite the fact I'll miss the cut.
