I wonder would any of them notice. Maybe one or two but they would be the weird ones that no one talks to anyway. Kinetic tour players are not really the smartest group, if we combined everyone's IQ, it still would not reach Mensa levels. Hell, I am sure some of the IQ's start with a decimal point. I am sure I can get away with it. I think it will be ok, and if someone notices, I will just point a finger at them and call them insane and a trouble maker. With the group mentality that the Kinetic players have, they will all jump on the bandwagon so they wont feel like they are on the outside, like I said, they are not the brightest bunch. Yea I think I will go for it. To which every secretary is transcribing my notes this week, anything above this paragraph is not to be posted on the forums, sent be email, or printed in anyway. I do not want a repeat of the what I really think of the Admins incident of 2020. The notes above are for my autobiography "Hmammoth How I changed the world of video game golf while making a fortune out of the fools that play it while battling the evil forces of the admins yet never losing my cool, my dignity and to be finally named the greatest scheduler there ever was and ever will be. Volume One of Ten". Below this paragraph is where you right the intro to this weeks course. You understand that, above no post. This week on the web we welcome gforce41 to our family of web.com designers with his wonderful The Rawhide at Santa Ynez. This course has been built on the land where the famous Clint Eastwood tv show Rawhide was filmed. The ground staff have done their best to clean up years of cow shite but there is a chance that some have been missed, especially in the heavy rough areas of the course so do watch your step. Rumors that part of the course has been built on a ancient Indian burial ground are completely unfounded and any strange occurrences that have happened can be explained by rational reasoning, like ermmm it was teenagers, yes teenagers that’s it. Looking at the weather forecast over the next few days, we are facing perfect weather for golf with no winds in the forecast, allowing plenty of scoring chances but to have these chances, course management is a must. As everyone one knows, the song Rawhide is the unofficial anthem of the web.com anyone playing this week is required to sing it at least once per round or they will face disqualification. To get everyone in the mood, I will show a never seen before clip from last years web.com Christmas party in which the song was song. See if you can spot your favorite web player in the clip, good luck everyone and have fun.

Thank you Dan. While I would love to think of all the Kinetic'ers happily humming "rollin, rollin, rollin'..." around my course...I do think this is the theme of the week. RIP Eddie #GOAT

Well it was it was a much better start than the weeks past. -10, -7 for a -17 at the midway point. Conditions were nice so this might not break the top 25 but it should be an easy cut made (fingers crossed). Nice course, tough but fair on the greens. Good luck all!

Very enjoyable course this week, but I fear that I totally blew it. I had it to -9 thru 17 holes, and yet only finished at -10 thru 36. I think the cut will be fairly low this week, so I doubt that’s good enough, and when I see that all I would’ve needed was a semi-decent second round instead of a hot mess, I’ll be pretty bummed.

Thats how I felt about a -5 first round that included a double and two bogeys. I feared that the double would cost me...fortunately I had a much better second round and am hoping -14 or -15 (I forget which lol) gets me past the cut in my first Kinetic event.

Oh, -14 will be in for sure. I don't think that score has missed the cut in Kinetic all year, you should be fine.

R1 -14 R2 -9 R3 -8 R4 -8 Total -39
Easily my best showing in Kinetic and probably best 4 rounds in 2K21. Really only had 2 errors over the course of the 4 rounds. I went left on the par 3 14th or 11th can't quite remember but it wasn't displaying my back swing as I was pitching out. Ended up swinging forward not knowing I was even swinging and ended up with bogey. On the Par 4 2nd in the final round I went for the green but thought i needed a partial to not overshoot it. Silly me - ended up short in the water. All said and done stoked on the week and eager to see how it looks at the end.
This will be the first week I won't be cut watching and instead hoping for a promo mark or two.
Good luck to all yet to play and congrats to Kara on the -18 R1.

The made-cut streak comes to an end for Victor Lane at this event, disappointingly so, because I would've enjoyed a couple more rounds at this course. I enjoyed the setup and the venue, but I totally blew it and it's nobody's fault but my own (and my putter). I just can't believe how many putts I just barely missed in R2, it was almost surreal. But alas, despite being -9 thru 17 holes in R1, I will be headed home and getting ready for next week.
Very nice course Gary, thanks for the design buddy!

I couldn't make a putt round 1, kept telling myself to stop playing so much break cause they just obviously were not breaking!

What an adventure! Started out round 1 with a near eagle birdie, then totally screwed up #2 because of both poor judgement and poor tempo for a nifty 10 . That digs quite a hole, but I did manage to finish round 1 at even. I knew had no chance of making the cut at that point, my only goal was to minimize the demo points. I began round 2 en fuego with eagle, birdie, birdie, but then reverted to the mean and finished the round at -7. I hope that can keep it at no more than 2 demos. I really did like the course, after Old Town the greens were much more friendly, sorry I won't be around for round 3 and 4.

Pat watched and cheered me on while I streamed on twitch Twitch while he was secretly beating my score. Imagine not getting first after getting a -18 in one round? Well.....
Thanks JP, much appreciated.
4th, 4th, 2nd and 2nd to round out the past month of events. Forever the bridesmaid.

Haha. Yes, I'm the one who took it up in the end. At least, as of now.
My best performance in TGC ever. Never played the kind of golf I played on this event. Felt confident to score on this course but it was finally my first week where everything I needed to click did. Had to survive the pressure of playing the 4th round while rewatching Kara's round on my phone and nearly blew a 10-under start after 10 to finish with 3 straight birdies.
-11 -13 -12 -13
-49 for the tournament.
Crossing my fingers this could be my first win in TGC!

Crossing my fingers this could be my first win in TGC! -49 it is! Nice win Pat. Thank you Dan for featuring my course. Hope it was enjoyable. Looks like it played fairly easily from the stats which are always cool to look at...This one was an older design from TGC19 and a personal fave as it was my first real "Tour Worthy" course, so I touched it up for 2k21. Working on stepping things up a notch with some new ones!
