Welcome folks to week 42 and happy 4th of July to the Americans present. If any of you are familiar with this week's designer tpetro then you might know he has a storied history with men riding mowers around so I couldn't resist putting his stellar course on the schedule for this week of epic green tractoring. Muirhead is perhaps my favorite course from the national treasure competition, ridiculously challenging with an equally spectacular setting and layout, this course is a plat scheduler's dream! The greens are also appropriately dickpunchey so fully expect this course to test every part of your game while still awarding great shots!

Concur wholeheartedly on the course summary....a pleasure to play and although the fairways were nice and wide, greens needed hard scrutiny on approach. Stuck on 4 red marks so needed something special to keep me in Plat so really rapt to be -19 at halfway mark. Then went -11 in Rd3 and after a slow start in Rd4, hit a -10 for a -40 total. Happy happy joy joy!!

Still here… 😎😎😎
Round 1 I played well but was stupid and went for the pin on 17 - double bogey. Round 2 conditions and pins were above my pay grade … 😂😂😂
-12 after two rounds and just hope to avoid red thingies…
Good luck all, Frans

-10 R1. Was feeling good and thought this is finally it, I am going to make a cut!
R2? -1. -11 at the cutline. Unlikely to make it. Hopefully avoid demos though. R2 played terribly on XSX, lots of lag throughout with screen stuttering, glitches during backswings, frozen screens, etc. Made it hard, especially with the tough conditions. A shame, because it was a really fun, challenging round!

This is one of those weird courses that doesn't lag on PS4 but does on XBX, I had a report from a ranger about a one-off lag round, just bizarre

Still enjoyed the course and now I have an excuse for playing poorly .

t-1st with my boy Chris! Started off so badly with a bogey on 3. Then slowly turned it around, got a hole out on 13, until I double bogeyed the stupid par 3 with the bs out of bounds. Just really crappy considering any red fast is guaranteed to be in that ob zone unless you aim super far right. Just unfortunate when I was hitting my tempo so well.
Round 2 was even better. Should have had a third eagle on the last hole but I shanked my putt. Played for a ton of chips on the very difficult edge pin positions and was rewarded. Really played well. Could, woulda, shoulda on the mistakes, but who cares, I played awesome. Let's hope I can end my round 3 curse.

I enjoyed the course as a whole, was a good challenge and I made some smart plays to avoid being wrecked by some of the pin positions. why are you so offended at being told one part wasn't so enjoyable? Feels a little penal and it's would be nice for it to be playable from there, but I can see why you did it. I think it's a brilliant course but you don't have to be so upset lmao. The feeling was crappy, and I was mad at myself for missing the tempo. Wasn't any slight at you really, as we all have a hole or two on a course we might not like, but I guess you're a sensitive one.

I shoulda known. I mean matty shows up to try to mess with me every week, saying I'm going to hate him next week for the course lmfao
