I personally thought the course was fun. A good mix of reachable par 5s, some challenging approaches, and options how to play a few holes. Green speeds might not be everyone's cup of tea (163 and three 187s).
I didn't play all that well. Got off to a good start but hit some stretches of missed opportunities. I would have lost a putting contest to a one-armed blind man this week.
Not to make excuses, but my second round my daughter came to watch me play. She asked me 198,000 questions over the span of 10 minutes, so it was a bit distracting.
"Is that the same sand from the beach? Why don't you go there?" "Why did you miss that?" "Can you make your guy swim?" "Are you supposed to hit it over there?" "Why did you miss again?"
I don't honestly think it made any difference, but I wanted to complain about something.
Wind wasn't a factor until weirdly on the very last hole when it suddenly went to 16mph.
Had a good final round that might keep me in top 10 area. I expect top players here to approach -60 though.
-13, -9, -11, -18 for -51 total.

After last week we could play the second worst course ever used on this Tour and it would still seem like fun.

Definitely more fun than last week but I would have found this one fun regardless of what week it followed. Kept things bogey free in round 1 and finished -10 thanks mostly to a hole-in-one on #12. Didn't play perfectly so there's room for improvement but I'll still never get too upset anytime I score in the negative double digits.

I've signed up for Q school again to hack it around on master clubs and shoot -5 in a round once more until this version gets the boot. Been fun playing with you guys the last 10 weeks with no drama in the threads.
I'll probably end up in CC-am anyway so still be seeing you above me on the leaderboard. At least I'll be in CC-pro for one week, in game message board is quite positive there and not toxic with all the drama queens like CC-am.

Hopefully sometime this year a new game brings with it no need to have a beginner club tour. I’d personally love the chance to compete where I naturally fit skill wise, wherever that might be, and maybe worry about making cuts and qualifying for majors again. This tour has been fun, but it’s a severe minority in this community and can’t expect the same attention. Thanks for playing with us for awhile Chris! And sorry I bailed on your society - life just got busy.

Played the 2nd round and neither me or my putter did each other any favours. Left myself a lot of long birdie putts including a couple on long down slopes where the only way the ball was going to stop is if it went in the hole. Did have some putts with what seemed like it should be easy to read break but the ball never seemed to go where I expected it to. In the end it was a very mediocre -5.
Had time so I played round 3 as well. Was sitting at a decent -9 through 8 holes but then as usual I hit a wall and thought I was going to waste hot start. Fortunately I finished with four straight birdies and posted a -14. I'll be satisfied with that one.

My putter showed up for round 4 and helped get me to -12 for the round. The stinker of a 2nd round will hurt me but anytime I make it into the -40's I've played well by my standards.

Too bad we lost so many talkative members all at once. Looks like it'll be one dead board going forward unless we can encourage some silent players to speak up.

I made a real mess of Rd 3 without doing much wrong, and only slightly improved for Rd 4. A strong start and a weak finish in comparison. My putting was excellent in Rd 1 and 2 and average in the final two rounds. I have no idea how John hit -18 in Rd 4, unless he holed out several times - you deserve the W for that final round - I finished -47.

Not sure if I should blame your change of heart or the return of Ray Morgan for keeping me out of the top 10 this week, but it's obviously somebody's fault other than mine.
