Well I finally get out of qualifying after 3 long weeks. Yes, I’m new to all of this but having a blast. I was shaking in my boots on the 1st tee in Rd1 in my first Tournament on the Tour. The practice were smooth but come to the tourney and lay a fat egg. Putting as usual was the main issue. I have too many just misses and figure law of averages would kick in but no, more just misses. My 2nd Rd was basically a carbon copy but I had driving issues along with some putts that were missed again. I can’t recall the hole but it is a par 3 with a stream behind it to the left. I hit the water in all of my practices round and new it was coming in the tournament so I played right and still pulled into the water. But I had fun and will work on my issues on the range and with practice rounds for the next Tournament....
I did join the Sims Tour to see what it was all about. It was all strategic for me, had fun thinking. I played much slower and my 2 rounds were better in the Sims Tour than on the Circuit.
Anyway, having fun!

My wife kept trying to talk to me on the front nine. I think I bogied every hole where she interrupted my rhythm. LOL pulled it together on the back for a while, then did what I hate on 17. missed a short putt for par then missed it again coming back the other way. hate it when that happens, and it happens way more than it should!

I have those same issues with the GF and the short putts.

I saw the +3 in R1, so not too shabby for someone distracted. I am shooting well in practice (-6 was my best round) but I was last week as well and we know how that went! Good luck on the rest of your rounds!

Just have fun in the next few weeks - several of us have found we shoot better when we just relax and enjoy it. If you need anything, ask away (not that we know any better!) and good luck! Scott

HI Everyone. I need to sit this one out. I'll be in the Hospital for 4 days of Heart Surgery and won't be out until Sunday Morning. Give me an extra week to get some strength back and I'll be ready as ever. My best to everyone and especially our crazy moderators. Fairways and Greens everyone.

If you miss the cut does the 3rd Round and 4th round scores count in any stats? I was kind of working on my game. I was trying different shots. I saw my 3rd round score by my name but not in the leaderboard.

played horrible in R2. Nothing is working right now, hitting everything fast, except when I try to play for that, then I hit it slow. putts are missing by inches.
Ah well, will try again next week!
