You'd think we were the only ones playing Art?
I've only played the first one. Got off to a bit of a slow start but then played ok. One very stupid missed putt on the 10th ruined my momentum somewhat and had a number of nearly moments. First round 64, not a disaster but will need to play well in the second.
Agree about the course, excellent 👍

Nope. A second 64 to sit -16. My feeling is the cut will be around -18/19. Lost my swing line with the putter in this one and just felt really rusty. My round was summed up by that short par 4 on the back 9, hit a lovely cut around the trees to 25 feet and then 3-putted for par. Not good enough at this level!

Well Art (being as this appears to be our personal message thread until you get promoted), this week's set up is exactly the reason I didn't want to join The Brew Crew. A pair of 65's to sit at -16. That's actually got a small chance of making the weekend. I kind of hope it doesn't. I'm not complaining that it's wrong or unfair to use these soft slow big breaking greens, it's just not how I personally enjoy to play this game.

You’re on your own 🤣 I would never leave Jamie, until I am forced to do so. I played well enough to make the cut this week with -23, but feel like I may have to do even better on the weekend to get the extra greenie for promotion. But I don't expect that to happen, so the Fonzie Tour will have to wait. Need more diversification in the courses we are playing. The whole world cannot be a sand belt, can it? Onward.

Art have you got any tissues? I've got a nosebleed I saw that! Tell me more, was it good for you? Grats mate, I'm busy digging my grave out here.

It's only one round, I've yet to string four good ones together since this game came out! It's a good course, it's not on a sandbelt, and it was one of those rounds where I hit some good shots and even some of the not so good ones worked out. Couple of chip ins, couple of good putts. On another day I'd play pretty much the same and score -6. That's golf! I'll take the good ones as a reward for grinding through the bad ones. Don't dig too deep Art, you need to be able to get out.

Oh it's too late for that Jamie, every shovel full fell mostly back in the hole on top of me.
Pair of -5s. Buh-bye greenies.
Onward.

If anything played better in round 2 but scored worse. 4 lip outs in a row killed my round. Birdie putts and a chip on 13, 14, 15, and then an eagle chip on 16. I was just laughing by that point! I also was 3 inches from an ace on the front 9. Not my day. -22 will easily make the cut so I'm happy but I could have been right up there. This course is suiting me though, maybe my luck will turn back again.

Art, you can always pop up and try to inject some life into the C thread if you miss us so much. No need to come down to be with us again on the leaderboards.
Of course, last timee I remember you in the double strike range, you not only erased them but added 3 greenies within like 3 weeks, so maybe this is just a minor plot twist.

Feel like I've let a really good week slip away. After that string of lip outs in round 2 I played pretty well in the tougher round 3 but ruined it with a bonehead bogey at the last. And then started with two more in the 4th round 🤦. Plenty of birdies and the odd eagle but too many silly mistakes.
59, 63, 63, 65 for -38. Not bad but I feel like should have been 6 or 7 better which might have got me in the top 20. Tempo was pretty good this week, gives me some hope...

Threw my chances of a greenie away in Round 3 with a trademark poor round to slot in amongst the decent ones and stumble back to mid table mediocrity....
