-15 after 2rds.. I did have a hole in one in the first round, which I'm assuming is the first of the Elite season.. Congrats and nice humble brag! Thanks.. And since I'm "bragging", it just might have been the first one of the TGC season, as it was about an hour and a half after the season "kickoff" .. And I'm with you, I love Patrick too.. So happy he's our QB for the next 12 years

If I don't play rounds, will I be removed from this tour? Or is it best to just request to be removed? It's like Hotel California in here... you wont get removed for inactivity... but you can shoot yourself out of the tour with 5 demotion marks.

A smooth bogey free 69 opening for me...
got some work to do to break Wes's -40 prediction

I’m not interested in playing on a different tour, I don’t think I want to play on any of them with this game. I thought someone else could benefit from my spot. Thought maybe I’d just get removed for inactivity, but I’ll figure it out.

No issues to just go idle and return down the road or leave for good.

Yeah with my eye surgery, the admin gave me a couple weeks if I didn't want to play and get demotion marks cause I can't see, it would be fine for a few weeks. I still might try. The urge top play is there, the skill level is not quite up to where I was qualifying, yet.

Good luck to everyone this season. Looking forward to some good golf & a few laughs along the way. Only a 9 shot spread I believe from top to bottom through 8 rounds of qualifying should keep the competition interesting all year. -10 through R2, hopefully that can keep me in the top 65 to see the weekend... Enjoying the course through two rounds, but really looking forward to Peninsula Kingswood next week..

Missing a bunch of fairways led to a bunch of mid to long range putts that just didn’t drop this week. Add on a few missed short ones too for good measure and I only got to -7 after 2 rounds and -14 total.
I think I’ll make the cut, but won’t come anywhere near competing. Also looking forward to next week where there are generous fairways, but treacherous greens on an RCR sandbelt course

Yelp after a -9 in round 1 I came crashing down to earth in round 2 and played more to my usual style with an E par 72.
Honestly played terribly with every part of my game, capped off by missing a 4ft putt on 18 for birdie.
Will probably miss the cut now after a -9 in round 1. Good luck to everyone

Good luck to everyone -9 will be safe mate. There’s going to be a lot of inconsistency over the next couple of months

Sitting on -8 after r2, should make the cut.
Rounds could and should have been better, played okay just couldn't take the easy wins.
Lots of positives though.

Also looking forward to next week where there are generous fairways, but treacherous greens on an RCR sandbelt course I think you outdrove me by about 30 yards on every hole but I still ended up at -7 after 2 rounds and came in -15 total. Take that DeChambeau. -15 71 66 72 64

And after what’s felt like an eternity we’re off and running. Hoping to earn enough in the Elite league that I don’t have to sleep in the back of the Toyota, however on this 1st round showing I’m not going to be looking at Hotel Reviews on Trip Advisor any time soon. -3 with 4 birds and 1 humph thanks to a 3 putt There was a fight at the breakfast buffet this morning because someone took the last two Chocolate Milks, outrageous behaviour even for an 8 year old. Maybe I should play with a bruised knuckle more often because 50% FIR still resulted in 7 birdies and a half way total of -9. Bring on the weekend!

I played the first 2 rds of Platinum for Cow Cup- then fired up a practice round at Ranfurly. Ranfurly is comparatively playing really tough, I may need a few more practice rounds if I'm going to be competitive this week- those are some impressive cut scores out there!

Looking at the leaderboard, what a wild spread of WGRs. The coming months are going to be an epic reshuffle.
