Week 27 takes us to Marquesas Bay by prettygreen1 . This course is a stunner, lots of fun and a unique look. Par 71 and 7300 yards, there are several blind shots that I enjoyed as well. Good luck everyone! From the designer: Marquesas bay is a links style beach set golf course set on the island of Marquesas in the Pacific Ocean..at 7300 yards, par 71 its not the longest but firm fast undulating greens can make this a tough test, especially if the wind is blowing. Starting and finishing with par3s it’s a little different but a beer in the rooftop bar should relax anybody after a tough round. Enjoy.

First week in Elite after a brief 3 week stint in Kinetic. Played solid in round 1 (apart from a sloppy bogey on 1) for a -9 but none of that momentum carried over into round 2. Felt like I played solid in the wind but couldn't take advantage of putts when they were makeable so limped around with a -4. Not sure if -13 will get it done for the cut but still gonna play the weekend rounds just to get as much "tour play" as possible after the quick promotion here.

Second week in Elite and followed up a -32 last week with a -33 this week. Not spectacular but solid at least! Lovely course too

This course just didn't work for me. 65-65 to miss the cut and lose my promo mark. I just couldn't get anything going and the lighting along with tree shadows and wind made putting distance control really a struggle for me. Shot 65 in R3 too, but probably won't bother finishing R4.

First week up here in Elite after a brief 3 week stint in Kenetic. Looks like a missed cut and borderline for a demo mark at -10. Apologize for the stentch out there all, I really stunk up the joint. Solid course, I just sh%$ all over myself.
See y’all next week!

First week in Elite after a short 2 week stay in Kinetic. Goal is to make it to Platinum in 3 weeks or less.
-10/-9
-19 should be top 20 at the cut. Played okay and just ho-hummed my way through the first two rounds with 19 birdies and 17 pars. I'll take it considering that my goal was to have no bogeys and get my birdies when they came. Putter was hot for the first round but cooled off in the second. Hoping for at least a top 20 this week but shooting for a top 10. We'll see how it goes Saturday when I finish rounds 3 & 4.

Was looking fairly solid until the weekend rounds. -18 after 2 rounds and then fell off badly including a quad in round 4 to finish on -24 overall. One of the pins on the back 9 (I think 13) was a little fruity on 187s but only myself to blame for going at the pin with the approach :-)
Lovely course and really enjoyed the elevation changes and never-ending run on a couple of the drives - great fun. Thought it really came to life with the brighter lighting in rounds 2-4. Liked the quirky start and finish on par 3s.

Lighting is WAY off on this course. I suggested such last week. Oh well

Really enjoyed the challenge of this course. Some tough pins on slopes but nothing overly unfair or penal. Wish I could play better!

Made 2 bogeys, missed cut by 2 shots. Oh well, can only go up for my second tournament next week. Played my 2 weekend rounds and had another combined 13 under so 26 total if I had made the cut which I think is a solid first outing but not spectacular (as evidenced by the MC). Maybe it was just this week but definitely feels like scores are much more bunched up here than in kinetic, sort of similar to how I got stuck in CC-A for 17 weeks. 1 dropped shot can send you 15 spots down the leaderboard.

Things have been pretty tight and consistent around here for a while. -12 to -15 cut lines that are always competitive. Top ten spots usually very bunched up, with one or two just pulling away from everyone. But we kick them out to purgatory platinum pretty quickly.

Round 4 was absolutely evil. I thought it was just myself, I was very tired yesterday... But looking at the other round scores... Many over 70 and just a few really good scores. Quite strange week, starting with the visual problems (had to change TV settings for that round! 😂) and finishibg with this round 4 armageddon.
