Qualifying Event #2 @ Evangelist GC (Tourney)

[bino819]

Well I sit at -6 through two rounds at Evangelist which I am very pleased with. I was -2 at Whiskey Dunes so it puts me -8 overall and somewhere in the upper/mid CC flights.

64-70 and have yet to find the water, so that's a positive! I broke par once in all my practice rounds so if I can come in at 70-70 or better I'll be really pleased. And I'll also be really pleased to NEVER step foot on this course again.

Finish my rounds,70,70,70,68,on PS4,to finish +22 in total after getting done for 2 rounds with swing/tempo/ putting issues in wk1.not sure it’ll be good enough for a card but,enjoyed the fact the last 4 rounds played without any issues.tough course tho!!.

[djswampy1977]

After posting +8 (+2, +10, +2, -6) for the first tournament of qualifying I managed -7 (-3, -4, +2, -2) for the second tournament to end up with +1 overall.

Absolutely mortified with the +10 in the second round @ whiskey dunes but at least I redeemed myself a little with what I did Evangelist. Could have been better as got stuck in the valley on the par 3 in round 3 which cost me a quadruple (would have chipped usually but was inside 75 feet so putted so i didn’t get dq’d).

Did managed to bag my first hole in one in 2K at the 13th in round round @ Evangelist. 💪

CC-C or CC-D for me I guess but to be fair that’s where I was in TGC 2019.

[Ry-Bread23]

Okay. This is weird.
I’ve been practicing and everything, but I never expected to shoot a bogey free -9 in the first round after finishing Whiskey Dunes at +5.
I’m happy and scared to continue playing, but don’t want to lose this momentum and also don’t want to land in a flight too good for me. 😂

I’m going to keep going. Cheers.

Edit: Went from 1227 to 845...

Couldn’t make any putts after the first round round at Evangelist. Same old story.

With the new controller, new putting stroke, some gin, and inconsistent tempo, I shot 67-69 in the first two rounds. Playing well at Evangelist really makes me upset about my play at the Dunes (+4). On the other hand, I'm happy at my progress after all the work I've been putting into my game the last few days. Now I go into rounds 7 & 8 at even par for the entire Q-school. Interesting.

Well, my rounds at Evangelist are done, and I am happy to say that I completed a few of my goals:
1) I did not hit it OB on any of the rounds on hole 14
2) I did not score worse than bogey on any of the 72 holes
3) I did not hit it in the water on 8, 12, or left of 16 green in any round.

However, I'm pretty bummed to say that I missed a few of my goals this week as well:
1) I went to the 70th hole of the week before hitting one in the water, and it was actually on the second shot of hole 16 when I was only trying to lay up, but I got a slow tempo and into the pond it went.
2) I wanted to go all 8 rounds at Even par or better, and I only ruined that in the 8th round by having a bogey, bogey, bogey finish to shoot +2.
3) I was shooting for the Elite tour and hoping for Kinetic, but it appears that I may be sitting just outside of that in the first few cards of CC-A by the time it's all over.

My rounds at Evangelist: 65-70-65-72 = -8

Either way, I happen to think the two courses chosen for the Q-Event were a perfect match in terms of showcasing the different parts of the game that players need to be good at, and I think it did its job of separating the skill levels very well through 8 rounds. Looking forward to week 1 on whichever tour I get a card for!

[JohnnyHexx]

Well I definitely improved so far over last week. I came out of Whiskey Dunes at +21 wondering if id ever find my putter tempo.

I spent about 3 solid hours on the putting green and think i finally have found a swing that i can be consistent with!

I shot my first subpar round ever at Evangelist round 1 with a -5. Was sailing along at -3 on round 2 and then proceeded to throw 2 in the drink on the final par 5
...both hit the green and rolled slowly down the hill and off the fishing pier...aaaargh! Almost identical shots...bummer.

Anyway I am encouraged that I can putt with a little confidence now! Hope I dont completely blow up rds 3 and 4.

One thing I would like to note is that this qualifying event, more than previous ones or promo events, seems to have brought all members of TGCTours together like I have never seen.  Interactions between great and the not so...vets of all iterations of TGC and newbies.

When this is over and we go to our assigned tours I feel this same comraderies will be lost a little. Some new bonds might form, but I for one have enjoyed the banter among all folks here in this thread.

Onward!

-23 Whiskey
-14 Evangelist

=-37 overall

I'm OK with that, was tough going, aim was to shoot under par each round in the second week, and pleased to say I did that. Managed to avoid "THE" OB all 4 rounds and had no bridge trouble! All in all pleased with overall result, was hoping to get in one of top 3 tours, and should hopefully do that! Good luck all 👍

I propose a name change for the CC Tour seeing as all the other tours got one, in keeping with the same initial it can be renamed as:

Clique Tour

Anyone on the Pro Tours can't be part of the Clique. At least it will forever end the discussion if there's a clique or not.

[Ry-Bread23]

And just like that...
I go even in round 2 to stay at -9.
I go +3 in round 3 to go to -6.
Then a whopping +14 in round 4.

Wtf?? Two 8s and a 7!! Stupid greens killed me. I pitch it and it rolls slightly past the hole.. it alllllllmost comes to a stop.. then just keeps rolling and off the green then down into the water. I did that twice. 🤬

What a rollercoaster.

[ABU_Bear]

I will say one thing...when you actually turn a corner in this game and things start to unfold the way you plan them(for the most part) it is a real eye opener.

to anyone still struggling....keep grinding and plugging...IT WILL COME

too bad it actually came about a week late for me...the difference between even yesterday and today is staggering

First ever sub-60 round for me in this game and it comes in qualifying, probably means I’ll sneak into the platinum tour unless I blow up in rounds 2-4.

-27 after 4 put me in 127th, now -38 after 5.

Well I did choke in rounds 3 and 4 but still might sneak into platinum we will see.
-27 Whiskey
-11 Evangelist rd 1
-7 Evangelist rd 2
-4 Evangelist rd 3
E Evangelist rd 4

487 after first round of qualifying but I bought a new controller and I can no longer play this game doesn't seem right I have no idea where the ball is going consistently now

You decided to change controllers in the middle of Q-School??

I actually do feel your pain.  I bought a new controller for the last game and it's taken me until now to be able to putt straight with it!

I think that is part of my Q-school issues. I had to switch to a new controller 3 days before Q-school because my old one was starting to drift vertically on the left stick (my swing stick) and take shots for me.
