2 in the books. Sitting at -10 which hopefully hangs on. Played better in round 2 than round 1 which may allow me to the weekend. Fun track but wish you would have just put us out of our misery and played 187 instead of 184 the first two rounds . Hopefully I get a crack at the last 2, It is my mission to figure these greens out!

I decided to play. Finished -7 after two rounds. Two solid approach shots roll off the green to impossible chips in R2. Other good approach shots playing away from trouble leave me 15 - 20 putts that I have to lag to avoid 3-putting. Its a grind to have a possible chance to make the cut, let alone compete for a promo mark.

After playing one and a half practice rounds on St Martins I could not see the upside for me in playing the Kinetic rounds this week. There is no way I would be in line for promo marks and a better than 50% chance of missing the cut. It is a nice course with reasonable conditions for round one, but I just could not score on it. On to next week! By the way, that OB on hole #8 is not in middle of the fairway but covers a big deep ravine separating two parts of the fairway; you are not supposed to hit it there anyway

-13 through round 2 and -22 total, I'll take it. Really tough track, had to grind it out to the max in round 3. Felt good to turn +2 after 9 into -4, had several shots go OB/Hazard.

Said screw it and went ahead and played round 3 and wow I'm glad I did. Holed out for eagle on the first and proceeded to fire 14-under 57. Jumped from -7 to -21. Top 5 rounds on this tour I think. Excited to see the move. Get out of here!

Woohoo I inadvertently avoided my first demo mark by not knowing I needed to switch my preferred system to PC. I’m out of town with the family and decided to play on PC so I bought the game, added my steam to profile and grinded away last week to earn back my clubs.
I knew it was going to be rough as I’ve been struggling to get PC swing calibrated to the same feel as PS4 and it showed as I shot to choppy rounds of E and +1.
Little did I know that since I didn’t toggle my preferred system to PC, my scores weren’t picked up by the APO so I dodged a bullet. Back home to PS4 next week...

My first demo mark of the season, very bummed about this event overall. The course had too much manufactured difficulty in the design and then Daniel amped it up with tricked-up conditions. But, seeing as some people are still shooting double-digits under par, clearly all it means is I'm just not good enough.
See you next week.

I set the number to chase at -11 for R1. Amazing score considering I only hit 44% GIR. 19 total putts and 4 hole-outs could be the reason why I went so low. A little bit of a blow up in R2 with a -4, high winds and hard pin positions made it difficult for me to gather any momentum. Currently sitting at -15 at the mid-way point. R3: Shot -8 which could have easily been better if I hadn't got off to such a slow start. Two bogeys on the front 9 had me worried but made up for it on the back 9 with two eagles and three birdies. R4: Off to another slow start but finished strong with 5 birdies on the back 9 for a total score of -7. 4 round total: -30 Looking at the leaderboard this should give me a top 5 and double promo marks, along with a promotion to Elite. After a short two week stint in Kinetic the only thing I can say is good luck to those that have to stay and fare thee well!

Kind of disappointing as I should be moving up to elite, but got semi hosed by the cut line mess up last week. Lost a promo mark after making what would have been the cut last week after I messed around rd 4.
