Frustrating pair of rounds for me. It's not that I played badly, just couldn't make anything happen until it was probably too late. No chip ins (until late into the second round when I got 2 in a row!), no putts longer than 13 feet, lots of shaved edges. No bogies either and I had a good one going on the second round, but two really silly missed putts and I made a mess of 18 trying to force it, will probably cost me.
63 and 61 for -18. I have a feeling that's going to be the wrong side of the line in the morning. Shame, nice course.

Good morning. Here to make my formal introduction now when everything's settled down. Previously a neighbor from down south, managed to fight my way up here by getting three promo marks. Needed 5 straight birdies in last 5 holes last week to do it, but made it just on the number. Wasn't sure if I had what it took to climb up at the start of the season, but was more competitive than I thought I would be in the B tier. Expecting another notch of difficulty up here but ready to try and keep things rolling, and see if I can somehow make it to the bright lights of the pros. Best of luck this week and going forward!

If you look at the scoring each week there's virtually no difference between A and B. If you were competitive there you'll be competitive here. Good luck!

I don't feel like I played particularly great over the first two rounds, but no dropped shots and I did make a few good putts and chips. 62 and 61 for -21 at the cut, pretty confident that's plenty. Very enjoyable course, happy to be playing a couple more in it.

Odd 3rd round. After starting with an ugly bogey on 1 (my only one of the tournament) my tempo was probably the best of the 4 but it was by far my worst round. Just couldn't get the little ball to fall in to the little hole often enough. Pretty decent 4th round though, I think this will be one of my highest finishes this season but that 3rd round will cost me a chance of a promo mark.
62, 61, 66, 61 for -38
Really liked the course and conditions and thought the wind in the last two rounds was a lot of fun. Got up to 21mph at one point!

Not quite the best start to my CC-A career. Round 1 a 64 for -8. Wind didn't do anything I was expecting it to do, left me too many putts that could have used less distance to them. Only saving grace was no dropped shots.
Round 2 60 for -12, that's more like it! I missed just 1 putt all round, so if I was struggling even a little with it in round 1, forgot about it here!
Started this week off like I've done the past couple weeks: not that great round 1, followed up by a round 2 that does enough to push me over the cut line. Next rounds should be interesting based on reports I've seen. Let's see what I can do!

-8, -11 wrap up for -39. Round 3 had all the issues: swing plane, tempo, wind not doing quite what I expected again, you name it. Round 4 with a very clear indication that it was high wind seemed to help me get more at ease and having a better idea as to what was going to happen with shots, helping me to also get some of the issues of the previous round fixed up. Well, a bogey free -39 and a second week in a row where I don't look at a box over a number on the scorecard. Usually don't even get 1 of these types of weeks, let alone 2 in a row! Probably around the middle of the pack, okay considering I struggled more on this particular course. Merry Christmas, happy holidays to all. Enjoy this time of year as much as you can, and stay safe out there. Cheers.

Sheesh, tough sledding around here this week! Shot -20 over the first two, missed the cut by 2 and currently sitting on a demo mark!! I didn't play great but wasn't terrible either. Using the power of maths, I make it that if one player who made the cut doesn't complete their rounds, that one place it would bump us -20's up will lift us above the demo mark line. Here's hoping...

Agreed, tough week when at the line you need to shoot at least -22! I think you'll be fine Jamie, can probably count on at least one person being too hungover from the New Year's to remember to play by the deadline... now that I said it though, not sure about that anymore...
Well I somehow managed to beat the cut line, and then some. Rounds of 58, 59, 60, 59 puts me at -52 this week and currently sitting at getting two promo marks, at least one. Used to hate these kinds of weeks at the master days, knowing I can't put up any fight and just had to hope and pray. Still dreading those weeks, but I am putting a really good fight on those instead! Hole 13 of round 3 snapped my streak of bogey free weeks, I managed to get to EDIT: 13 full rounds before that streak came to an end. That might have been the only real one I could have done better, unless I want to get greedy and start listing a few others.
Cheers, good luck!

58, 57, 56, 61. Right on the trigger at -56. Either a few inches away from Kinetic (missed a 33 foot putt on 17th round 4 by that much in distance), or a must make eagle on 18 becomes the biggest save of my virtual golfing career. The final wait is on...
