Welcome to week 11 at coruler2 's Mirelurk Pines. Hope everyone hits em straight, its a sneaky tough course in spots with plenty of tempting holes (good luck on that driveable par 4). This is the last week before our first promo event of the season. So we may see some pretty big shuffles in the tours coming up. Get some rounds in now and try to get promoted before though so you don't have to sweat 2 tournaments next week!

Love the course. The nod to the Fallout series is awesome, the marshes 100% look like I'm about to find a nest of Mirelurk eggs. Greens are very tough but fair, intelligent tee shot designs, with as well as a few different options if you want to risk a big swing. My game however has thus far not shared the same enthusiam. All I really have to say about round 1 is 33 feet proximity to hole, 32 putts, 33% birdie conversion rate. -4 67. Prob isnt too bad considering those stats. Catching Cody, JT, and the others at the top is probably out of the question so hopefully I can get my shhstuff together in round 2 and first of all make the cut and then try to compete for a promotion mark.

Course was great, I unfortunately was not. -6 and -5, hopefully that makes the cut, but doubt I'll be in the running for my third and final greenie. Finished at -20 with some underwhelming 3rd and 4th rounds.
This course was a challenge and I loved it though. Birdies were not easy to come by at all, and am very impressed with the people at the top of the leaderboard this week. Good luck to all with rounds still to play!

I really enjoyed the course this week as well. I thought it rewarded ball placement for the most part. I was able to control my approaches well in R1 & R2, but I lost the tempo in R3 & R4. I should have just took a break after 9 of R3, but proceeded to just keep powering through, which was not the right idea. I continually had 15-20' putts on the wrong side of the whole, and let that frustration leak into the rest of my round. In short, I blew the 2nd round lead and will be looking to give it a go again next week lol. Nice course though.

Made up for a few errors toward the end of round 2. Should have never played round 3...worst competitive round in a long time, just couldn't find a swing at all. Also struggled in the final round but eagled 18 to make it respectable. All in...pretty decent. And that's the best I can hope for...pretty decent.

-9 -9 -6 -6
-30 to finish for me. Disappointing last two rounds after a promising start. Made par on the two reachable par 5’s in rounds 3 and 4 didn’t help. I’m just a couple of rungs below the top guys each week at the moment.
As everyone has mentioned, lovely track and good luck to everyone still left to play.

Not a good week for me. Managed to make the cut and finished at -22, miles back 😂 Had to play all rounds on Sunday due to work and that’s never a good plan, especially when you can’t get a good rhythm going to play for 2 hours straight! Anyway onto next week with the Promotion event plus our regular event and hopefully make a push for Platinum 🏌️♂️

Shot 61 and 60 on the weekend to make up for a dreadful first 2 rounds. Squeezing out a tie for 4th and enough to be promoted to Platinum next week. Gotta be happy with that but just wish I could have gotten off to a better start. Congrats to everyone on surviving a fun but tough course this week, congrats to zcolbster on the dub and good luck to all in the promotion event next week!
