How in the hell did Daxon Blaze end up in Euro with us chumps? He's a regular top 10 pga player...top ten in wgr? PGA to BCT Didn't want to "relearn" a swing to attempt to hit it straight. I continue to play my pull. BCT to Q-School Played just well enough to wind up here on Euro. Still playing the same pull. Not sure what kind of answer you're expecting, but that about sums it up. I liked the post originally because, after last week’s missed cut, I identify as being a chump on this tour half the time! It was no offense to you being here Mr. Blaze. Also, kudos to you for relinquishing the U.S. Open qualifying spot.

Ah that makes sense...can only imagine how crazy things are up there with the new issues related to the banishment of pulled shots.....realize now my initial message may have come off as crass, was just interesting to see your name with us since you've long been a staple on top of the pga boards.

No hard feelings here! I'm ok with being on Euro! BCT was NOT for me! 😂😂
Yes, it was best to give up that spot because I know I would NEVER pass API on the PGA now. I didn't see it as fair to take a spot from someone who CAN pass it.
However, I also don't mean to come in here with me shitty swing and huge pull and take a spot from y'all on the leaderboard.
I literally have to aim a cup or more left on "flat" putts. It's a struggle for me because my only consistency is that I already KNOW I'm going to hit a pull. I just don't know how much of a pull on any given shot. It's quite a guessing game especially when you include the wind/lie.
I'm content with being here and hope to provide some competition for y'all.
If I happen to get enough promo marks and go back to PGA, then I'll probably be done playing as I know I'll be pulled every week.

-21 after two. A 7 hole birdie run to start the proceedings always helps to loosen the swing up and ended up coasting to a nice -12. Then Chump Mode kicked in for a bit during round 2 as I was about 5 feet from the edge of a cliff at one point after a bad slice. Was -3 heading to the turn when the putter finally warmed up and was able to bring it home at -9. I look forward to joining the non-chumps and former PGA guys this weekend. Also, I’m going to try and make at run at you this week in the Cow Hunt fransslabak!

Good to see ya Dax,how does that work tho? If we *pull* on the pga its banned.But on the Euro its fair? Just curious. It doesn't matter.

Just squeezed over the cut-line, took a piece out of my shorts on the barbed wire; at least I got rid of 1 Doyley red kiss. Solid third round but I just missed a few key putts, could have been -13 or 14 but ended up -9. Too many poor shots and calculations in the last round for a disappointing -5. up mup kupen nup a total of -29 in the Cow Hunt, which at least should get me out of the cellar. Good luck to those yet to finish.

It doesn't matter. That's a toughy. As I have stated before up in the PGA, I like Dax. I like his posts, seems like a nice enough guy. Now that I have "earned" my way to Euro, I would restate the same. But, an exploit that has been deemed an exploit is an exploit anywhere or anytime you play (unless with a group of agreeable friends), so yes Dax, you will certainly be taking the spot of one of the players on this tour. No getting around it.

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! -25 under through 3 -8 round 4. -33 for the tournament

Obviously I couldn't make the cut after the 1st round, after that it went a bit better but I never got into a rhythm on the greens. Which shows as I'm in the top 5 worst putters at the moment😂
Green where you hit it on 10 ft or less and still have to aim 5 ft left/right are just not for me but I'm sure others liked it.
up mup kupen nup 72,67,63,66. -20 total

Daxon, I am the kc native that we talked about the Chiefs and our boy mahomes!!! Since the new metric in PGA I played in 6 events and got pulled 5 times with my pull at the very end of my swing. Took a couple weeks off to work on new swing and now my swing comes out of the blue at the bottom of bubble. The backswing. Smh. Wanted to demote to euro but was told not an option at the time. BCT to a school is how you did it. I have no aspiration to go to BCT, so I will play tgct euro for fun until new game comes out and I'm thinking everybody will go through a school. I have a new swing but not always consistent enough to stay in the blue. Always liked your animated post's on the PGA. Hope all is well with you and I believe your wife was to have a baby this month. At least that's what I remember. 😆! Getting old and excuse me if I was wrong
