Hi all, I'll start up the thread this week. Absolutely love this week's course, even though it obviously is anything but a Moroccan course... After coming in 23rd last week, my goal for this week is to get a top 20. My first round was okayish but missed a lot of chances with the putter: -9 (or was it -8, can't remember...) In the second round I still missed some easy chances (notably a 1 meter putt for bird!) but I also made some putts that you're not supposed to make: -14 So, that's -23 (or -22) halfway and on course for achieving my goal, I think... but maybe I'm not the only one that loves this course. Good luck all, Frans up mup kupen nup

I'm done for the week, putter was completely gone and I never missed so many short ones in 1 round.
I guess I'll finish my other rounds for the golden cow if I can put myself to it but right now I'm a bit done with this game.

Good luck all, Frans up mup kupen nup You and I played very similarly last week....after seeing how you've started off Im hoping for the same this week! Love Ardoilean, great choice for the week.

Had to finish up tonight; busy work week ahead. Could not produce the same as in round 2, but kept it together with -8 and -9 for -40 for the week. up mup kupen nupCould have been better, with a hot putter, but I’ll take it.

What to say about this week. Love the course very scoreable. With that said I couldn’t putt to save my life. Ice cold round 1 for a -7 and somehow a -8 in round two. Round 2 alone made me want to give up. I missed at least 5 birdie putts less than an inch under the hole. Extremely frustrating. Hit the pin on the last 2 par threes and only came away with 1 birdie. Frustrating week. I can’t see -15 making the cut this course is very scoreable. Guess it’s the Golden Cow for me this week and praying I don’t get a demotion mark.
I don’t know how to tag a user so I’ll just write his name and hope it works kinda like Voldemort up mup kupen nup

At least that’s how I read it

I will not participate this week. I just had my worst round playing this game and I think I need to recognize that I just ain't good enough to play in the big 3 tours.
You know if we can request a demotion?

Welp, that concludes my tourney (will play the rest for Cow though).
+2 first round followed by a -10 second round will lead me to a missed cut and one (if not both) of my shiny green marks going away. Just a shame as I was one shot away from a promo to the PGA.
Beautiful course and don’t want to take anything away from the designer but this is my least favorite style. More arcade like with narrow fairways, 100s of feet of elevation change and tricked up greens with nary a decent putt to be had. When you’ve got a 5 footer and you have to play 5 feet of break that shits just not for me.
Good luck to those that make the cut but for all those reason.... I’m out

Ooooh saw we are playing one of my top5 courses all time, so actually concentrated this week! Happy with my -17 thru 2, although there were plenty of shots I'd like back. Should mean two more rounds which is really my only goal on this tour.

I love this course, it's in my Top 10 of all time... which is true, but I'm also trying to put myself in a mentally positive mood here. I've found that I tend to play down and am disengaged if I dont like a course*
* I do reserve the right to change my mind later this week should things go sideways.

Bonjour, hats off to fransslabak. If this is the course difficulty one needs to be comfortable with to survive in Euro, then I'm on the wrong flight. I had such a hard time out there that I didn't even enjoy playing anymore. Whenever I thought I have taken everything into account, I could hear Woody Woodpecker laughing at me right after hitting the ball. High wind, big elevation changes, difficult lies, and tough greens all at the same time, that's when it gets frustrating for humble little players like me. So the only thing that's left this week is checking out how many demo marks I'll get with -7 at the turn. All in all, I had rounds of -2, -5, -4, and -3 to finish the week at -14. Good luck guys!

I just hacked away my first round only to rally at the end to shoot -4 somehow. Then a -10 round 2, which was lucky because I holed out from the bunker for an eagle at the last. Pretty sure I'll miss the cut this week. Missed last week with -7 at the cutline. I've just found this game really stressful to play lately and have been plagued with very fasts.
