I hate 144's! After a decent (but probably about par) 60 in the 3rd round, 4th round a very disappointing 66. Tempo was just slightly off and I must have missed 4 or 5 putts inside 10 feet. There's something about that speed that fills my brain with doubt. I'm either dying putts past the front edge or hitting it though the break. -34 for the event. Nothing special but no more red marks.

Finished strong (-11, -12) in hopes that I hang on to the cut (currently safe by 2).
Onward!

Don't be bringing your C Cubed drama in to CCB, -16 was never in doubt! I'm actually a little surprised -15 didn't make it, they must have been cut very late on.

Is there no good desert course that could have been used for the Scottsdale Desert Classic? I can't believe there isn't, very odd choice. Particularly when the course that's been used has some pretty clumsy green sculpting and some very average pin positions. To be fair I like it apart from the greens.
I'm on for a half decent week though, so great course! Struggled as usual on the 144's in round 1 to post a 65, but played well in the wind in round 2 to post a 62 and comfortably make the cut at -17. Could have been better but for a few lip outs, but I did also chip in 3 times. Round 3 made a good start but then got on the par train. An average round turned in to a decent one by chipping in for eagle on 18 to get me to 63 and -26. One round to go, I see the dreaded 'medium' green speed in the settings. Oh well.

As expected, my inability to putt on slow greens bit me in the final round. No bogies, in fact only one all week, but 12 pars and a glut of missed putts. Two in a row summed up my problem. Both about 12/15 feet uphill (being as nearly every pin seemed to be on a frigging downslope or a nipple!), both very little break, both I would be pretty confident of knocking in on faster greens. First one I left a couple of rolls short, second one hit the middle of the hole but far too hard and stayed out. Does my head in! 66 to end the tournament at -32. I'll take it after a poor first round.

Onward! Thought I'd poke my nose in here. Missed cut with the Peasants in your old manor Triple C. I did a decent weekend also (-12, -9). Hate it when those scores don't show anywhere. Missed cut in TST also. Bit of a duff week all round

Might be a repeat of last week, decent score misses the cut followed by some great scores on a weekend that wasn't. I'll be ok with it all if I skate away with no demos, but geez it is tough sledding up here in B. That is why I might run for mayor here, not going anywhere soon.
Onward!

I had a shocker with the flat stick in the first round which leaves me needing a sub-60 to make the cut. Unlikely but I'll give it a go. To be honest I'd be happy to avoid a double strike.

I think you're safe enough. -19 might even get in yet although I'd rather have your -20. Sadly I only managed half that, double strike incoming. Mailed it in after I fell off the mountain on 8, that knocked any remaining fight out of me. I liked the course but it really didn't like me, never felt confident at any point. As someone sometimes says, Onwards!

As someone sometimes says, Onwards! I wouldn't fancy tackling it with the XB tempo. Fell off the mountain once on PC with a red fast out of nowhere, but not until Round 3 with -24 under my belt and comfortable cut down with the peasants in Triple C. -49 for the week and I'll be lucky to make top 50! Nice to pop here occasionally and see how the wannabee posh boys live.
