I'll get things started - Igloo is damn right cos I was ice cold out there in this first tournament: +14 overall.
Started off with a reasonably encouraging 1 under, then blew it up in my second round for a +8, clawed a little back in round three with a -2, then fell apart in the final round.
What can I say? First event, long way to go...

Bogeyed the second hole and thought 'here we go again', but then miraculously got an albatross Hole-In-One on the third. For the front nine I had only 1s, 4s and 5s on the card - don't think I've ever done that before! Struggled to keep the bogeys off the card on the back nine unfortunately, but birdied the last for an even par round. I think I'd like to finish now please, as it's only going to go downhill from here!

Good luck everyone.... I will be streaming my first 2 rounds regularly on Tuesdays & then 3rd & 4th on Thursday's regardless of whether I make the cut or not as my Society (The Dead Parrots) mirror the CC event & every round counts in that. link to Twitch channel

Good opening event, some challenging holes and some gettable holes. Thru 2 rounds, great test. Let’s go!

Frustrating as ever.... conditions more suited to Kinetic / Elite tours.
No fun... made a couple of dumb luck good shots but most of the time could not execute the desired outcome especially on the approach shots.
+5 & +4 = +9 through 36 (ain't making the cut)... awaiting demotion strike(s).
How much will a PS5 cost me in the UK? Need 1 to compete I think!!!

I actually do find that not many Xbox players have low scores. Possibly more sensitive or just better quality players on PS4 and PC? XB1 here

Shot -3 first round then Even 2nd round. Sitting 9th atm, I'm sure I'll drop but way better than I expected.

How much will a PS5 cost me in the UK? Need 1 to compete I think!!! It's probably no console-ation (if you'll excuse the pun ) but I'm on PS4 and I'm struggling too! I sort of think I know how to hit fast and slow shots when necessary, which means aiming way left or right of the target and hoping it comes off, but I just played my second round and didn't hit a single 'perfect' shot. I'm just glad the fairways are fairly large on this course - any narrower and it ain't gonna be pretty. However, I am kind of enjoying the fact that I'm having to work for every single shot. Before, I would just blast through four rounds without really having to think about it, but now I can't play more than one round at a time as it's more mentally exhausting. Which doesn't sound like a good thing(!) but I'd rather it was like this than too easy.

Im at -3 thru 2 rounds. The initial sorting from qualify tourneys seems good. Hope the competition remains this balanced after the promotions/demotions start

It looks like +4 will make the cut meaning my -6 R3 will be in play.

After the torture chamber that was Evangelist, I feel like this is a fair course. Not making the cut, but loads of time to improve. Onward!

Hoping my +5 makes the cut...I think it will, but there's still a chance it doesn't.
If people don't finish the 2nd round by tonight, do they get DNFs or DQs? (First time doing this, so not sure about all the rulings)

Good opening event, some challenging holes and some gettable holes. Thru 2 rounds, great test. Let’s go! Was easier than the 2 qualifying courses. I wonder how Q-school works for players starting on this course.
