Good morning,
My first two rounds this week are in the bag, and it was like a roller coaster ride. I started ice cold in round 1, missing many 5-10 footers. Luckily, a nice approach left me an easy eagle on 17, so that I could at least card a still underwhelming -6 (bogey free!). At that point, I was slightly disappointed that my bad putting ruined what I felt was a good performance tee to green.
Then came round 2, and suddenly I played my best golf since I've been around here. I don't remember having that many long irons land right next to the pin. Putting is easy when there is no distance left, and so I achieved a very elegant -15 in round 2, putting myself in a good position for making the cut.
Good luck out there and have fun.

Slow start on the front 9 after being -2 after 2. I missed several putts. A strong finish ensured a -11.

This course is very interesting.. Sometimes I love the challenge, but sometimes I feel it a bit arcade-y. I guess we are playing a video game after all.
Really demanding of your long irons. Windy, elevated greens, and contoured fairways - you won't get a flat lie all round. One bad swing might leave you 40 yards away due to fairway run offs and when you are on the greens putts are sloping all over the place.
Did make 14 birdies in 18 holes so I guess they are out there.
I guess that's the sign of a good golf course?

I thought I did well this week, missed so many chances though. -15 at the turn, probably missed but happy with it overall. Better than the past few weeks.

Great -13 start for me. Really playing better last couple of weeks. Probably played 1 bad hole and it cost me a bogey (3-putt). Should have hit 4 iron there instead of 5. Looking forward for the rest of the tournament and good luck to everyone.

First round was a GRIND for me...i really struggled with this course set up and couldn't get anything close. Then when i did i missed a 4 foot birdie then followed with a missed 6 foot par on the next hole. I ended up with a -3 and am currently runner up for last. Something completely changed in round 2 and i found my groove and shot a -13 to be -16 at the cut. Probably too little too late for the cut but at least it's respectable and won't get me a red kiss. I'll finish up the next 2 rounds for the cow shortly

Looks like -16 is on the border already so i'm assumming the cut is gonna be -17 by Friday...man i really screwed up that first round.
Anyway shot -10 and -9 the last 2 rounds to finish up at -35 for the cow

I didn't feel like it was a difficult course by any means, but not that easy!

Lots of missed putts in Rd 3, comparatively speaking to my previous rounds a disappointing -8.

Blew it entirely with a -8 in round 3. Felt so good in the practice round but went to the course and had 3 fasts, 2 very slows and 1 95%... Not a good combination. Actually made a few putts just to stay around.
