This week there are multiple ways to try and chase your Platinum Tour dreams. There is the first promo event of the year happening at Persephone right now, but we are also at Energ1ser 's Whiskey Trails for week 12 on Elite. This course is part of the Whiskey Resort where four 18-hole courses and a par 3 course came together on one plot, and for my money this was my favorite of the bunch. Styled after Bandon Trails, the course might not be an obvious favorite since it doesn't have any oceanside holes, but the golf here is perfect. Jason did a great job of winding through the plot while revealing some stunning overlooks of the rest of the courses from on top of his hill. I think this course has plenty of opportunities to score, but the par 3s are always tough for me. Good luck everyone, enjoy!

The course had a nice rustic feel that definitely stayed consistent throughout all 18 holes. I really enjoyed playing the course this week. I thought it was a challenging, fair test for the majority of the 72 holes. I did think there a few pins on R4 that were a little unfortunate. A few times, on the par 3's on the back nine for instance, I felt I hit the best shot I could have, and still ended up where a lesser quality shot would have gotten me. I probably played the best shots for 18 holes on this round, and it was my worst score. But, maybe I should have just played a practice round first. It was a good experience overall, though. A 58, 60, 57, & 63 (-46) should be plenty enough to get me the promotion mark needed to move on to the Platinum Tour next week.

Alright. Come on. Spill it. I need to see the video of how this shot happened. Rolands Pumpurs, step up and claim your prize. Was scrolling through the leaderboard because I wanted to see how low people were going. Saw this guy leading after round 1 with a -13 and found this gem of a card.

Don’t know what it is about these style courses but I seem to play well on them. Great setup and good test. Definitely a tale of two halves for me this week had a very scrappy first two rounds to get me to -14 at the cut line but then I seemed to switch on. Shot a 57 3rd round and a 60 final round to finish at -39.
Hoping that should be enough to get me into Platinum next week. Good luck to all still to play this week and great scoring Cody, just glad I beat your weekend total 😂

I’m afraid my final round may cost me. Too many mistakes with the short game and a few unlucky kicks. You had some nice rounds though. Looking forward to seeing you in Platinum 🤞

Ah yes another one of those courses with ridiculous greens. I know let's ramp them up to make them even more stupid than they all ready are. Looks like I'm missing the cut. Good job I'm doing ok in the promo event.

Good job I'm doing ok in the promo event. Not sure I’m with you on this one. I reckon there was 1 pin in the entire 4 rounds that I would describe as dicey. Didn’t think any of them were unfair and in fact a whole host of the green slopes were actually helpful for feeding to the pins. I guess some courses fit the eye better than others. There was one a few weeks ago that I couldnt get on with but i put it more down to me not having the game to play it properly than anything. Personally I liked this course with the width in offer and the options available. To each their own :-)

Looks like Graham Singer (1st), Taylor Smith (2nd), Joshua Bresnock (4th) and Matias Hynönen (7th) are on elite currently and also are in good positions to move to platinum. Congrats boys!

Thanks jwtexan - Wish I could've performed a little better here at Whiskey Trails but luckily kept it together on the much more forgiving Persephone course. I enjoy all the Whiskey Resort courses and agree with you on this one being the favorite. Great course selection, keep it up!

Thanks jwtexan! I'm finding I can bring my A game on the easier CC level courses, elite and platinum level ones can give me trouble at times. Looking forward to the challenge that it will give me though!
