Hey everyone, hope you all are enjoying your weekend. This week the Elite Tour visits one of the highlights from the Dream Team competition in Port Melbourne GC by nitro22. This sandbelt style course is a beautiful fantasy course based in Australia and like all sandbelt courses is a true challenge of your approach game. You'll be tested over and over by undulating greens and the bunkers that run into them. The course crushed me in round one to an over par score, despite the easier conditions. But I refocused and recovered well in round 2 to try and salvage away double demos. Good luck everyone!

Bogeyless opening round with 4 birds and an eagle for a -6. Played decently but just missed too many decent chances for birdie along the way.
Course is top class. Absolute pleasure to play.

-7 -7 for -14 at the cut don't think that'll be enough to make it but shouldn't be anymore demo marks at least

-6 thru 36. Sadly that's good for me right now, and will like finish bottom 10 on the tour

R1- 6 R2 -12 R3 -9 R4 -8 T -35
Round one was filled with missed putts and opportunities so I'm glad I was able to follow up with a big R2 and presumably make the cut.
Decent finishing rounds makes me think I should be in for a top-30 finish and maybe a sniff at a promo mark if it doesn't play as easy as I think it will.
Great course, super gettable every hole. Really enjoyed this one.

-4 -14 -12 -9
If I just do something in round one I feel as though I had a chance to win.
Predictions- cutline -14 winner -45

Played R1 and was feeling on point, so played the whole tournament.
R1 - -9 R2 - -8 R3 - -9 R4 - -9 T - -35
Definitely left some out there, especially putting. But pretty happy with the performance this week. Only 1 bogey in 72 holes.
Loved the course. Front 9 was very getable for me, but the back was challenging at times.
Good luck everyone!

Given this week is in my home state of Western Australia, thought I'd better pull my finger out and give the home fans something to cheer about. Played a -9 practice round and there was something about the greens that I started to get the hang of toward the end of the round. Went -9 and -10 in Rd1 and Rd2 with a few silly stuff ups as well. Followed with a very nice -14 in Rd3. Rd4 was a slow start and apart from a bogey on 10 (or was it 11??) I found a couple of eagles and ended -9 for the round and -42 for the tourney.....probably a handful of shots short of a win I reckon. Didn't miss too many fairways this week and I got the feel for the roll of the greens early on and putted well apart from a few I smashed past the hole on the 187's in Rd2. Looks like at least 1 green mark so I guess I'll be off to the top flight next week after a short stay in Elite. Cheers and good luck all.

-11 -12 -8 -7 (-38) Tough pin locations in the 4th, putter was ice cold. Doubt it'll hold onto a top 10 spot but here's to hoping! I'd love to make Plat before The M*sters

Struggled to give myself good chances in R2 and generally my putting was poor in this event.
Just hoping -10 is good enough to avoid a demo but it might struggle.

R1: -10, was sitting at -9 after 12 and just stalled out- 3 lip outs and not happy with the -10 R2: -7 so many burnt edges and lip outs R3: -7... putting is horrible- cant get much to fall R4: -9 lold when i burnt an edge on a 20' birdie putt and ended up in a deep bunker.
-33 and probably +/- 30th
actually doing better on Plat this week (25th at the cut) through Cow Cup than here... i just seem to like to throw away strokes on this Tour.

well, that was unexpected. Bit of a slow start with only 1 birdie through 5 holes, then this happened
After that, it was mayhem and I ended up going 58-57 to share the lead at -25 at the halfway stage. There's a danger of a double promo and a trip to plat if I'm not careful...

Nice shot!
Careful though. Who in the world would ever want to leave elite?!

I know. That's my concern. Elite is so much fun!
