-19 at the cut. Very happy! I just wanted to make cut. Could have gotten to -21, -22, missed a few good opportunities. Proud of that, can build on it. Hopefully I finish strong and get a good place!

Finished up at -44. Blew what should have been 2 birdies on 71st and 72nd hole with the nerves setting in. Oh well. Should be a solid finish did you really go -11 x4 ?? that should be an award on top of a very good finish!!

Finished up at -30 this week. Happy to have made the cut in my first week up here, even if I end up finishing last of all those to make the cut! Hopefully I can improve next week. Good luck to those challenging for a top finish.

Feel like I should know this by now but somehow don't haha. You finish off strong in round 4? Looks like you're close to getting the Plat promo.

FInished Plat-Cow Cup R4 with a -13 (-38), Finished Elite R4 with -9 (-33). will probably finish one short of a greenie- that's how it's been going lately in Elite for me... but I've figured out a few things (dialing in wind, and putting from 15-30')... probably where you were 6 or 7 weeks ago when you turned the corner.
Before the round- when you see your Player on the right half of the screen... hit the square button... menu to add ghosts. Add Ghost and it'll bring up everyone who has played already. You must play early in the event bc you always show up on the first or 2nd page. Scroll and Add. then hit R3 to start. you can play with up to 3 ghosts. it can be annoying on the green- but it helps me maintain focus thru the round, and I don't zone out as much.... it's also annoying AF when you knock an approach to 3' and someone rolls in a 30' putt on top of you. pros-cons.

Sounds like you'll be up here sooner than later. Maybe one more week?
Thanks for the heads up on the ghosts. I don't think that would work for me. I usually rip my rounds off in 15 minutes or less ha. Maybe I'll try it though and see how it goes.

After I lost in a matchplay event vs a CC player yesterday, I was needing a huge bounceback for my Friday Platinum rounds.
Struggled through the first 4 of round 3 with 4 straight pars. Eventually turned it around, getting 4 birds on the rest of the front 9, and had a solid back 9 to get to -10 under including an eagle splash-in.
I wanted another -10 at minimum, and played really quite nicely. Missed a few putts in the final round that I'd like to have back, and ended up with a -11, including an awesome eagle putt on 11 after a very good approach.
All in all, a successful tournament. If I could have capitalized on the nice conditions in round 2 better, maybe I could have had a contention for the top, but a -40 is going to be at minimum a top 30. Exciting stuff! Really proud of my efforts this week to bounce back after some disappointment yesterday and very poor play overall.

-48 finish for me this week. Could be enough for my first win on Plat, although I know it’d be gutting for Erik the fact it’s settled on Countback.
Was -1 thru 9 holes of the tournament, thinking I’ll do well to make the cut here let alone have a chance to win. Not sure what really happened but I just kept hitting my perfects and made a whole load of birdies and got to -21 at the cut.
A 15 under 3rd round certainly put me in contention for a chance to win. Even in the last round, made a silly bogey on 9 coming off the front of the green twice. Knowing I needed to shoot -8 back nine to take the lead. Ground out 8 birdies and finished it off sweating over a 12ft left to righter on the last. Don’t think I’ve taken as much over a putt in my life 😂
We’ll see if it’s enough come tonight, and if it is I’ll still be claiming a win on Plat even though all the big boys are missing this week 😂🏌️♂️

Sorry Cotty, 0-1 ⚽️ Awful game. 👨🏻🍳⛳️ The Chef - I definitely don't want to go off tangent in a thread, but yeah my neighbour is a big Leeds fan so will likely be upset. Being a Liverpool supporter, I'm coming to terms with most likely losing Salah, Wijnaldum and Klopp (probably this summer). Ho-hum. To shoehorn golf back into the equation - 4 tournaments in, all cuts made and improved placing each week. This one being T22 finish (-41). Life is on the edge of becoming very busy again with lockdown easing only a week away, so I guess we will see how I can perform once life changes again. A huge shoutout to the designer of this course. Some of the views from the tees were stunning and the course played beautifully. Thanks to gamesdecent for organising another great tournament. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
