We are on to week 34 for elite and that brings us to Deschutes River Club by jwfickett , a course that has made its way to the elite 8 of the world cup of design. Fickett has an on again off again relationship with design and luckily we were able to drag him back in because this one is a beauty. Styled after courses in rural/inland Oregon, this course will challenge you with its scale because while it looks inviting, there is always a better angle to be found. Should be a fun week. Good luck everyone. Course description from the designer: Set among the towering pines and sandy, scrubby dunes of the Oregon High Desert, near Bend, OR. Several holes on the front nine play along the Deschutes River gorge, and the back nine meanders up the ridge and then back down. A great match play venue with several half-par holes and signature bold green contours.

I know for sure we have seamount4life streaming weekly rounds. I believe WhatAboutAmeobi also recently dropped down from platinum to join us in elite and he streams often. SupremeBinkz is another who gives elite weekly content. But yes, please, anyone else who streams their rounds let us know, I would love to drop a follow for our elite folks.

A treble on the 5th in R2 was a bit painful. -11 and it's chop chop for me.
Got nailed bad by the glitch recently too, so went from 2 promos to 3 demos in one fell swoop. Ouch. š

Loved this course and the variety of half par holes. Figured it would mean lower than normal scores. Unfortunately for me my putting was off and it felt like I never made any of those "good look at birdie" putts in the 10-15ft range so a -5 opening and -7 second will have me packing up early like Bryson tried to do last week in Charlotte, haha.

-7/-5
First week in Elite after the demo from plat, still can't make a cut but there was little effort on my part going in cold and not taking any practice swings. Course is fantastic so I'll finish my last two rounds regardless. Swing is slowly improving so next week I might give it a little more effort.

Back home in Elite and going to do something I haven't done since I was last in Elite - play a weekend. 64-61 to comfortably make the cut at -17. Great course, fair setup, all is well with the virtual golfing world.
