Went 71-66 on my first two rounds at Royal St. Michael's, so I'm feeling hopeful about making the cut for the first time with a -5. Also shot a 66 at Persephone in the first round of the promo event, despite a double bogey. So it's a pretty good week so far. Here's hoping it stays that way. Well played cassinochips hopefully you will make it. I had a practice round on St. Michael's Links which went very well with a -6. I thought this was a good sign and startet my first TGC round. Started with a double bogey on 1. I came out with a +2 so I think it will be very hard making the cut. After finishing very bad at the last tournament I think the chances are high that I have to leave CC-H for some time. I think my problem is this kind of pressure which affects my timing enormously. Well let's see what happens during my second round. I hear you, my swing can get the yips when it counts, especially on the green. It seems like the promo event is really going to shake things up in terms of flights, so who knows where we'll end up after this week. Hopefully upward!

I'm not sure what happened in round 1 but even my the swings I thought were fast were slow to very slow. I shot an awful 84. I calibrated and played better in the second round but there was already no way I was making the cut. This tournament may actually get me demoted. It's all good though.

I am still struggeling with tempo, too. But this time I could make the cut. Had a 74 in my first round and a great second round. Unfortunately I managed to score a double bogey and a bogey on 17 and 18 but it was enough to be with +1 in the end, which would make the cut for now. Hopefully it stays this way. Good luck out there everyone.

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

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.

Reporting scores here this week since this is my new place (at least for the week) due to a lucky promotion.
Round 1 I struggled with the swing plane quite a bit. Could have been a very good round otherwise, but -1 is all I could get. 2 eagles, 3 birdies, 6 bogeys. Lots of fun.
Round 2 was a bogey free -7 with extremely good putting. Really happy with that one after struggling through the first round and thinking I might miss the cut.

Round 3 must have been one of the weakest I've shot in a while. +1, really boring par golf.
Round 4 started strong. -4 front 9, finished -4. Last bit of scoring happened on hole 10 with a birdie. Disappointing to land on the par train like that. Putting was good.
-11. Not bad, becoming my average. Okay, but not good enough though. Still waiting to see if my score of -11 (coincidence?) in the promo event is good enough to get me up to G. Probably not, but you never know.

Finding it too easy to make the cut in H so would like to go up one but not good enough to earn it through the normal promo process and not sure my -13 in the promo event will cut it either!! Perhaps I’m where I’m supposed to be here in H!! 😂

I've been finding it quite easy making cuts lately (then again, my first week here and already got a slight scare after round 1, so...) and I'd like it if I could push myself a bit higher. Gonna be tough if I gotta grind out results the normal way. At least you have a better shot through the promo event than me!

I'm just utterly dreadful.
Round 1 +3. I expected way more with the conditions being what they are, but I got just about no putts to land. I believe I didn't score a single mid length putt all round. That tells a lot. A rare 4 putt too, which... I have nothing on. I just sucked.
Round 2 -7 and a Houdini level magic trick of a bogey free card to survive the cut. Why do I feel more comfortable putting when the greens are very fast?
Yeah, this might be my actual tier where I belong to. My play as of late sure seems to suggest that.

Nothing great to report from rounds 3 and 4. Turns out that 65 of round 2 was a total fluke. My putting sucked, my swing tempo sucked. Random very fasts right into the water which quite honestly made me scared to even tee off. Then when I don't get a very fast, most times I get something that hits me into the rough due to me compensating too much. Plenty of difficulties scoring. Just about everything went wrong, and I'm pissed off about the way I played those last rounds. Good riddance to those. -1 finish which really doesn't even feel right since I had just one good round, and in the end it doesn't really matter. Course was fine, no blame towards that. All the blame is on me because I really should be doing better. I know I can do better than this.
I guess this event was a total off week for me, gotta hit a reset and move on to the next one now.

Hi,
Here's my shy hello as I found me promoted from K to H. Nice news as I think I'll have less to play after the cuts .
I could not complete play the fist event as I was locked under the bridge of the 15th hole second round, either no drop or play able.

Well hello and welcome! Congrats on promoting up that much, enjoy your stay here! Tough break on this week's event, but you'll get a new chance at the next one! Good luck with that!

Yay, made the cut again... not comfortably, but still.
That round 2 was just hell to me. Set myself up quite decently with the first round, happy with the -6. Threw that away a bit with a +2 in round 2. -4 for now, and if I wanna make something out of this week, I gotta play much better the rest of the way. Possible, but not the most probable outcome. I reckon midtable obscurity for me again this week, seems like that is becoming my story over here.

Close shave for the cut. It'll be difficult as I always play around par or one or two shots lower with few expectations to improve. But I find this fine as I have likely true life pro scores.
