Thought this might be a nice week when I opened up by holing out for eagle on the first. Unfortunately I then turned into Nick Faldo until the 17th hole, having a grand total of 1 birdie up till then!!
-5 and -9 for -14 at the cut - too many missed easy putts.
Round 4 was steady too (-7) for a -26 total
Lovely course from Jives......
. . . . .. . . . .. . . .. . What the F were the utterly idiotic green speeds in R3? 187s on 153 defaults.....totally unsuitable
Thought we'd turned that corner 2/3 weeks ago where the event gets ruined by idiotic sh*t like that.....
(I don't even gaf that I got a HIO in R3)

First round I got every unlucky bounce one can get: -4 Steady second round that could have been better: -9
-13 halfway; enough? Tight? Not a chance? I have no idea...
Dreading round 3 now... ๐
Best wishes Frans

Really awesome course but seemed to be ruined by the setup at times. Green speeds and some of those pins were just a massive mismatch.

Felt like an incredibly hard setup in rounds 3 and 4.

Baptism of ๐ฅ
This does feel quite a step up from Elite.
Thankfully a bogey free first round for my first outing in Platinum. Unfortunately not so many putts sunk.
But thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. Not played on greens like that, since I started 2k21.
Good luck. Keep it Culinary.

Two, not too bad weeks on Elite, and boom, here I am eating at the top table! Whether I'll be here for awhile or just the starters we shall see! Anyway a -5 and a -9 to be -14 halfway. I would have taken that before I started, would be great to make cut in first event! Anyways, good luck all ๐

-6, -6, +1, -5 for a -16 total. Starting to wonder if catching COVID a second time would be worth it just so I could focus on practicing for another 2 weeks. Doubt it would help though. When do we start talks of splitting into Platinum and World tours again like we had a few years back? Feels to me like thereโs a significant drop off in skill at this point between the top 25-30 and the remaining 75-100 or so fighting for cuts. Either way, Iโm still having fun more than most of the time and Iโll see yโall next week.

Hello. This is a course that doesn't treat you well when you miss your approach. I am currently a player struggling to find and maintain a consistent tempo. What a perfect match. I lost count of the amount of times I didn't even have a birdie opportunity and just was happy to get up and down for par after a red fast or red slow left me with a horrible lie a few yards off the green. Or on the wrong tier of the green. Having played TST and Platinum in one session, the result is twice the same: I am happy with my score, but not happy with my game. I have to be patient until the confidence in my tempo comes back. Good luck and see you next week!

SDAFR#Q$%FAS.. There that should about sum up my play for this week. I have not played 4 rounds to date where my tempo was better than this one. I can't recall a tournament where I hit about 95%+ of my shots at perfect tempo and came out disappointed with my score, until this week. I quite liked the course, but the setup on this was right on the edge for me. I only say that because I don't feel like the slopes on the green always played like they were intended in the design, at least as far as the approach shots were concerned. I won't bore anyone with hole-by-hole examples. But, maybe that was my fault for not adjusting. I also recall multiple shots of 190+ where I hit it inside 10 ft, and was almost always left with a putt that broke considerably. It would have been awesome to have a few of those long shots on a flatter contour IMO. However, there are several people playing it well! It was a beautiful course though, perhaps it just wasn't my week. -10, -7, -8, -8 (-33).

Most trouble I've had on a course since I've gotten here.. don't want to count how many putts in the 7-15 foot range that I've missed. Kept my putting under 1.3 putts/hole last 3 weeks, so far I'm at 1.56 at halfway. I just need to work on my green management, a lot of shots I've hit to 12 feet or so just to have a nasty downhill breaker. Maybe this week -12 has a chance but I'm not going to get my hopes too high. -7 on the last 3 holes and -5 on the first 15. Congrats to everyone shooting well because it's damn tough this week.
