Sorry guys, i'm new into challenge circuit and I have a question. Are there specific target to get a promotion mark in a round of challenge or the mark are decide from admin?
I read the rules but i understand then i must have 3 mark for automatically promotion , but there is't nothing for the target to take marks.

Welcome Stefano - I think it works like this: If you finish in the Top 7.5% of the field you get 2 promotion marks - if you finish between 7.5% and 15% of the field you get 1 promotion mark So this week, as you already have 2 promotion marks from your excellent performance last week you only need to get in the top 15% to be promoted into K I hope this makes sense

Comment section for CC-L kind of lacking. Been gone for about 4 months. Picked up the virtual sticks last week to give it a whirl. Lothmoor Abbey, nice course. Certainly a straightforward type of course judging from the current scores. My +8 for two rounds sits tied for next to last. my game is rusty to say the least. Tripple bogey on the 14th rd 1 did not help. Double bogey on the 5th rd 2 put a dent in the fender. Ended on a solid note, eagle on 17, rd 2, par on 18 to put a little pep in the steps back to the club house. Looks like a bus ride back to the qualifier next week, but that's ok will see what happens.

Welcome back! At first I was a little disappointed after qualifying last week. If I would have finished one stroke better I would have made it to CC-H. But looking at that board now my -13 through two rounds would have missed the cut by 3 strokes! Just picked the game up a couple weeks ago after not playing a golf game since the glory days of TW ‘14. Went -5, -8, -7 so far. Don’t think it’s going to be enough for a promo mark. But still figuring out my stroke. It is promising that I think I’ll be able to compete for promos in the near future. Missed too many easy putts. Course does seem pretty scorable this week, excited to see what future courses hold

Oh man this course is a refreshing challenge from the last couple. The course description says each pin location plays differently and that is the truth. Definitely going to save this one, it lends very well to a four round tourney. Glad I started playing around with draws and fades right before this because it is definitely necessary on this course. Shot a -4 in R1 which seemed decent for the setup. Shot a -10 on day 2, I was playing decent but I think it also had a lot to do with easier pins. R3 was a miserable experience. Pins seemed brutal and wind was rough. I shot even and was OK with that, although choked a couple strokes out there. Swing is now all messed up so need to figure that out before I attempt R4. I think if I play decent I can get another promo point. We’ll see what everybody else does on R3 but might be able to squeeze 2 with a great R4. Good luck to the rest of the CCLs!

Coming off a good performance at Appleton Park, -6 under for the event, so felt good about this week's gig. I've a new strategy since coming back up from the qualifier, play for par and birdie opportunities will present itself. Worked well last week so took this to Victory Crossing. Played solid for most of the round. Parred all holes going into the 8th. Missed a few birdies...cup edgers and the sort, but I was patient. First birdie on the par 5 8th. Back nine I was able to garner another two birds. Patience paying off, sitting at -3. Par 3 15th, missed green but splashed to withing 10 feet or so of the pin. Straight putt but uphill gradient to the hole...good speed on the putt, but the damn thing dies right at the lip of the cup...bogey! At -2 going to the par 5 18th, thinking I can make up with a possible birdie. Tee shot, effing water, second shot from the drop zone, effing water. Now par is pretty much gone, playing for bogey at best, but knowing it will be a double. Splash shot to the pin, sitting at 25 yards away, hit the pin stick and the ball drops 1 foot away from the hole. Damnation, double bogey, finishing the round at even par. What a bitter pill to swallow. On to the next...

LOL...Victory Crossing, you kicked my duffer's butt on this round. Such high hopes. I promised myself that I'd avoid the water at all costs...evidently, I can't keep my promises. Probably lost some 7 strokes because of water balls. Five birdies massively off set by triple bogeys. So, I'm done for this event, on to the next. Despite the above showing, I enjoyed this course. It provided numerous choices; I just chose unwisely.

It provided numerous choices; I just chose unwisely. I feel your pain. I generally play Labrador golf (see water, go into the water), but held it together until the 14th hole of the second round. Slowed my approach and put the ball in the drink, then hit from the same position and had a good tempo, but the combo of wind, pin position and the falloff of the green rolled another one in. So no bogies over the course of two rounds and one ugly quadruple bogey. I'll still make the cut in CC-H, but think I took myself out of contention for promo marks.

Sheesh, played a solid round 3 and had a nice round 4 going but put two in the drink again, this time at 15 - both perfect tempos, just a bad read of the wind/lie and tortoise shell greens. So four clean cards this week - outside of the two quads. Ugh, happy to be done with this course.

Mangawhai Beach: Good first round shooting a 66. Only one bogey for the round...can't remember if I ever went bogey free in a round. Can't complain, I had quite a few birdie looks, that's all I can ask for. Nice gettable course...for now. Decent course management paid off. On to the next round.

Mangawhai Beach Rd 2: This was a struggle for me. Started off with two birdies, then the wheels started coming off. Two bogeys and a double on the 6th. Putting evaporated before my eyes. Grinded it out. Holed a 32-footer on the par 3 11th...barely making it with a side door drop. Thinking this will right the ship, I proceeded to make two more bogeys. Last minute mini-charge birdieing the 17th and 18th left me at +2 for the round and -3 for the tourney. The cut line is -3 for the moment. My fingers are aching as I'm barely holding on.

Mangawhai Beach: Made the cut. Finished last two rounds with +2 for tourney total of -1. Struggled with putting, yet "Good" enough to remove a demo mark. Enjoyed the course. On to the next.
