What a shame... Love(d) the idea of trying to qualify for the Olympics. Unfortunately though, something was wrong... either it's the course/conditions or the size of the community or Monday or something else... but tempo was waaaaay off. Normally, I hit a lot of perfects and some grey fasts or slows, and red fast is 1 in 50 shots at most, now I had 50% red fasts. Nothing I could do; even slowing down my swing considerably still resulted in red fasts for almost all drives and approach shots. Ah well, managed to finish all four rounds, just in case there won't be hundreds of people from the low lands trying to get in... -26 in the end; all down to some damn fine putting, which is usually my weak point... Good luck all, Frans

61-66-57-64 for -40.

Do you have to play before the usual cut even when there is no cut?

Thought I'd have a crack at this, didn't get off to the best start with a -7 first round but with the leading Aussie at -19 after two I thought if I could have a decent second round I could get within striking distance. Enter a +2 and all chance gone. Playing the rest for practice but not doing much better. My tempo is garbage this week, mostly red slows but also feeling like I have no control over it on short game shots. Then I hit a 100% power, perfect tempo pitch and it fell short by 20 metres, not into the wind either. WTF is that about?

I leave it a foot or so short of the flag. No wind. 95%-100% power perfect, perfect. And it flies 10 yards over the pin ? I am thinking it has something to do with the lie ? Downhill/Uphill ? I am going to start paying more attention to it because its been killing me of late (Along with everything else)

As the 2nd highest ranked Japan representative, I will be watching my elite/plat compatriot dominate this one!

R1 -3, R2-R4 -29 for -32 total. Might've had a shot to be up near the top for Canada if it wasn't for that brutal R1! Played pretty well TtG in R1 but had an abysmal 31 putts...
Checked out Italia but looks like we've got some strong pixel golfers representing Italy as well - not good enough to get in for either nation this year! Great idea though.

Doyley Just want to make sure that I'm understanding the rules correctly. If I finish as the top qualifier from my country (not counting the top 15 WGR) and also finish in the top 65, I would qualify? Thanks for putting this together, it is a great idea.

Yes, that should qualify you. It‘s actually top 60 iirc, but you have to take away all the players that don‘t qualify because their country has a limited number of spots (e.g. all but one player from USA)
