Bit of a disappointing way to finish up this week. -5 in round 3 made things look pretty interesting. Screwed a lot of stuff up in round 4 and my putter was put into some quick freeze or something in between rounds, scored +3. -12 total which is usually not bad for me, but after being -10 through 2, can't help but feel like I should have done better.
Oh well, moving forward onto next week and gonna try to forget that last round ever happened.

Want some extra competition in the form of team play?The Dirtbag league is gauging interest on whether to add two teams to our great competition. We need 8 players to make this happen. It is fun, does not require extra rounds as we play the CC schedule each week. Check out our Dirtbags season 2 thread to see what we are about if interested. Thanks Bill Send me, Dan S and/or Mike Ricks a message. billybudd0623 sandsaver01 dansamp

In through the cut for another week. Steady -4s through the first 2 rounds for -8, which at the time felt a bit meh considering all the opportunities, but looks to be in line for mounting a fight close to the top!
Round 1 was saved by good putting and sunk by not that great of an approach game, round 2 was saved by decent approaches and sunk a slight bit by not that great putting. Funny how that works! Decided to stay as far away from the water since I have way too much tendency to navigate the ball right in the middle of any pond I can find. Sometimes leading me to take swings from maybe 40 yards deep in the rough area. That's fine though!

I struggled in Rd1, tempo was that of a fish wearing a gorilla suit, had to bear down in Rd2 to avoid a 4th strike in three weeks.
So far +4 and -6 for a -2 at the turn hoping to make the cut.

Looking like you'll make the cut just fine! Gotta have a really tough break to somehow slip under the line at this point I reckon.
And yeah, my tempo sucked a ton during both rounds actually, I'm just glad that I can somehow wing it well enough to save my bacon in most occasions!

Despite things like those going differently with just the switch of a round, I just seem to be finding the ways to be relatively consistent all the way. Can't really ask for more than that, I could have very easily been flip flopping between a good score one round and a bad score the next! Been seeing you doing very well in J, you'd be right up top right now over here! Keep up the good play and join us over here next week!

Golf is all about limiting your mistakes and making up for them when they inevitably happen. My favorite quote from one of the greats is "There's no pictures on a scorecard, just numbers." - Lee Trevino. You have to find a way to make it work however that may be. My putting has gotten so much better over the last month. Making a lot more birdies and not nearly as many 3 putts. That's the real difference. Only 3 dropped shots through two rounds this week. The game is won on the Greens. Expecting to be moving up to the Igloo maybe after this week and then if I keep up the good play with the Promo event next week might be a short stay at I. We'll see what happens. Going for the win again this week in J, 5 shots back thru 2.

Going for the win again this week in J, 5 shots back thru 2. Well, start off by joining us here for at least the week, and then let the dice roll with the promo event. I'd think you have a very good shot of taking a nice step up if you keep doing what you're doing right now. No doubt about it. I would like this stint over here to be a short one too with the promo event fast approaching since I do want to see how I'd perform higher up the ladder. Would need 4 decent rounds this time around though! I had 3 in the last promo event which got knocked out by just one very bad round, so my only goal is to make sure I play all the rounds as well as I can and see where that gets me.

Well from playing both Persephone and Cape Ari, @babybull created a more difficult golf course so it will be a tough challenge. As much as I liked Persephone, Cape Ari is a better track.

TGCT Challenge Circuit Soccer League
Add a bit of spice to your Challenge Circuit rounds each week. Play as your favourite soccer team and qualify for the equivalent of the Champions League or Europa Cup. Nothing much required beyond playing your normal rounds each week, reporting your scores and engaging in a bit of good-natured soccer/pixel golf related banter. Already major clubs such as Ajax and Celtic are in as well as minnows such as East Fife and Herne Bay FC.
Worried that you won't be competitive? A crack team of mathematicians recruited from the finest universities in China have developed a balance system so whether you are in CC-A trying for the pro tours or striving for the cut in CC-L you will have a chance.
If you have an allegiance to a club, a CC Tour card and a sense of humour and would be interested, message me.

I have no words. Like, none. At all. All I can really say is I'm super duper happy with this week! I started -8 through 2 rounds, finished -31. I don't even know how, like did I have a stroke or something? Likely tied for 4th. PB finishing place for any week. PB total score for any week. PB individual scoring round for any week, -15 from round 3. Round 4 was pretty damn good to begin with with the -8. But just allow me to show the insanity that was my 3rd round. And here's the ace from the 11th hole, in terrible in game replay format. My first on the tour, second ever!

You did alright as well, excellent putting numbers in the last round, especially on that back nine!

Okay then! Looks like I'm one of the lucky ones that got a promotion despite it being impossible under normal circumstances! Thought I'd be here for another week.
Good luck going forward and if you take part in the promo event, even more good luck there!
