Edit/Bug update: Admin is aware that the promotion/demotion mark bug occurred again. Here is the solution that they have come up with: tgctours.proboards.com/post/620953/threadBasically, if you got a bugged demotion, you were promoted back up to the tour you belong. If you got a bugged promotion mark, congrats, you got to keep it! Also as a part of the fix, all demotion marks were erased and everyone is set back to zero (If you had promo marks they stayed). We have reached week 21 on Elite and we are headed to another excellent course by former design competition champ grovey31 in Lambeth Walk. Adam always puts out great courses and this one is no different. The course is set in the northeastern US heathlands and was inspired by courses like Old Sandwich, Boston Golf Club, and Hidden Creek. Lots of varying conditions this week, should make for some fun rounds. I think we could see some serious scoring out here, so probably best to be aggressive to get above the cut line. Good luck everyone! --- Special welcome to the godfather himself Doyley who is joining us on Elite now. So everyone be on their best behavior...

Pesky visitors.....popped around early in Rd3 this afternoon and after rocketing out of the blocks with -13 and -12 and then -4 after 4 in Rd3....fair to say was in the zone. Putts starting dropping at the start of Rd1 so that's always a good sign. The "enforced" pause in my Rd3 threw me right out after being in the zone. Had a real slow 5 or 6 holes before picking up the pace on the back 9 to card a -10. Was gnashing my teeth a little in Rd4 and so many putts grazed the edge and a couple stopped in the jaws of the hole. A frustrating -6 to be -41 at the end. Course was a little tricky with the big rolling greens so gotta knock it close. Didn't mind the nice wide fairways...except for a couple of careless hit fairway bunkers, it was fairly easy off the tee. Lovely ace in Rd2 was part of crazy run of good holes....cheers

Got the promotion up to Elite this week. Looking forward to this course and being back in the Elite tour as this is where I spent a majority of my time in TGC19.

Predicting a crazy low cut line this week... GLTA I hope my -19 sneaks in I'm pretty sure 19 will get it. If not, I'm missing the cut too. Shot a very nice -12 in R1, but couldn't give myself enough easy putts in R2 and ended up with yellow or even orange sliders way too often. Still, no bogeys and -19 at the halfway point is probably my best showing thus far.

Predicting a crazy low cut line this week... GLTA I think it will be about -16. Conditions are a little tougher round two, but this course has generous fairways and allows you to choose your own adventure and find the best angle of attack into the large greens. I've been keeping track of the score needed to make the cut, make the top 10 and the winning score for some time now just to make sure we are keeping course selections tough enough and conditions fair as schedulers. As a group on Elite we are definitely trending lower with scores as we get more comfortable with the game. Our worst winning score actually came week 1(!) and the worst cut and top 10s were week 3 (although I think even if we played Avery Fields today numbers would be similar). I'll go ahead and respond for y'all...

jwtexanNo complaints over here! I love this type of course and am really looking forward to it. Setting my bar at -10 a round. As of now, 44 of 91 are at -9 or better! I wouldn't be shocked to see the cut line creep up to -18 or -19, tougher R2 might affect that though. Will we see a wining score in the -60's this week?!

Round 2 was definitely tougher with the 187 greens. Love the course, found a few pins to be a bit dicey on 187s but I can't complain too much. I really don't think the cut will get to -18 or -19 though I would guess -15 or -16 makes it in.

Hey all, new here just moved up from Kinetic. I went -10, -7 to start, so hopefully -17 is enough for the cutline! Hopefully it's not as low as as been tossed around in this thread!

Go XB! ๐ Think I'll bide my time...wait and see exactly what I need to do...(and a feeling that tempo is going to behave). Sounds like I'll need to rack up plenty of birds anyway.
