Well folks you've survived black salt and I think you'll agree with me that a breather week is very much deserved and earned. As we have now moved on from the Americas we are firmly in links country as The Open looms on the horizon. Rossmackowen by hallzballz6908 is a fantastic links course that is both a great realistic links course and a stunner, featuring some great blind shots through the undulating dunes. While this isn't a crazy difficult course, it was too beautiful to pass up and I thought an easier course would fit nicely in the schedule here. Enjoy yourselves, I expect the cut to be pretty competitive

Still here… 😎😎😎
BUT not for long, the way I’m playing right now; second missed cut in a row and this time I won’t escape the red thingies…
Good luck all, Frans

2 x -6's when it counted and a missed cut this week. I think only -1 on par 5's. 9th green pi55ed me off big time. Hit -10 and -9 when it didn't count and in harder conditions.....nuff said.

Wanted to post something here as a non tour player - hats off to Q for the course picks recently, just some awesome courses that you guys are fortunate to be playing. Enjoy this week, it's a stunning links course with some epic dunes and holes playing thru them, also very scorable but watch the wind!

Lovely course, much more me. Not because it’s fairer than recent weeks by a long shot. [which is nice though] But because it’s in tune with ones I play for real. Regards my score, well I’ll bloody enjoy it regardless. I have one life remaining 🤕 but loving the challenge of trying to finish the season in Plat.
Good luck all 👨🏻🍳⛳️

Awesome course. Got it to -44 but seriously let down by my putting. Phantom Zorro squiggles on short putts are killing me atm. Missed a half dozen inside 10’

Hello. I'm with The Chef... just trying to grind my way through towards the end of the season right now. When there is no confidence in the swing, it's hard to enjoy the course in conditions like in R3. Well, at least my swing is in a state where I start to shoot a little more consistently outside Plat again, so that's a plus. Still, R2 this week has been one big choke (I was -3 through 3 holes!), and the resulting red misses make it hard to scramble for par on these courses. It's not enjoyable. On to next week. Cheers and good luck all!

-8 second round to be -12 at the halfway point.
Just for curiosity more than anything I changed the settings to 60hz at the beginning of this round. I wish I'd done it earlier, the game looks heaps better and much smoother instead of jerky/laggy swing movements, ball flight and landing is all a nice smooth motion and looks much more realistic. Didn't really seem to affect my tempo although I will have to adjust the putting as the smoother movement on screen affected me a bit, left a couple short not pushing forward firmly enough. I'll get used to it though.

Just a horrendous exhibition of driving in round 1, no clue how I shot the score I did - however mediocre. Finally just gave in and swapped drivers down to whatever Callaway one goes 288 for just a bit more forgiveness, which felt like it made a huge difference off the tee. Still didn't play great, had 2 back-2-back "wtf are you doing" holes, and somehow ended up 1 shot worse than what I felt was a much poorer ballstriking round 1, but got to -15 after 2. Based on how I played, I'm thinking it unlikely that makes the cut (haven't looked at the leaderboard), but I suppose I'll find out in a couple of days.
GL all.

-25 at the cut. Just some of my absolute best golf. Missed a few very easy wedge tempos or it mighta been even better. So proud so so happy. Have a chance at the weekend.
Starting to get the consistency down.

After a 2-week stint back in Elite I've been promoted again after two top 10 finishes. I came in with high hopes looking to make a cut, but unfortunately I finished up at -13, 2 strokes short at the time of writing. Tempo problems plagued me in R2, and I was especially frustrated because I was sitting at -13 with 5 holes to go, including 2 par 5s, but parred out down the stretch. Very frustrating as I was on a tempo carousel that included multiple very fasts, which almost never happens. Ugh. What can you do. R2 wasn't without it's moments though... first, a 128 yard hole out on Hole 7. Thought this was a great shot. onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=C78645A5944A8AA4&resid=C78645A5944A8AA4%211623&authkey=AJApvDUlXlinw1MSecond, a lucky 37-yard partial pitch for eagle on Hole 9. I say lucky because it was actually a Red Fast (although I think it's my grey fast polling point shifted over, but alas). onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=C78645A5944A8AA4&resid=C78645A5944A8AA4%211622&authkey=AJ9G7SDEDewGfX0It seems like I find myself in purgatory at the moment. Top of the table in Elite, not good enough to make cuts on Plat. Anyways, onto next week!

HAZZAR May have at last found my tempo crunch. Very nice to have made the cut after 8 misses in a row.
Hole 9 helped, -5 on that hole alone.
