Good luck! Quick question because I just started playing TGCTours....what's the cut off for earning a green promotion mark? Hi! Not on this tour but I thought I'd pop in to answer. The field is made up of those that finished all four rounds after making the cut + anyone that got cut, regardless if you left the tournament at that or finished it. So if you played just one round before the cut deadline or didn't finish after making the cut, you're not in the field. Winners for the week get promoted to the next flight (example: winner of CC-L goes to CC-K, and this applies to all CC levels up to CC-A winner going to Kinetic but not the pro tours). You might get fast tracked to the next flight too if you shoot really well and are right behind the winner, however that's more of a rarity. Top 7.5% and ties get 2 promotion marks, and the next 7.5% and ties after those gets one promotion mark. Example: last week's CC-L event at Glocca Morra saw 100 people in the finalized field. 7.5% of that is 7.5, which means anyone positioned better than 7.5th gets 2 marks. 7 people got 2 marks. However, if there was a larger tie for 6th place, everyone in that tie would have received 2 marks because they were tied for a position better than that 7.5 line (so even if you're let's say 8th on the list but finish tied for 6th, you're still good). Once those are sorted out, the next 7.5% means that everyone up to 15th place would get a single mark (7.5th + 7.5th = 15th). Up to 15th place did get a mark since there were exactly that amount of people that made it to that line. Had there been any more tied players for 14th place, there would have been more people that got a mark. As long as you finish tied for a position that's above the cut off line for a promotion mark, you are guaranteed to receive those. Demotion marks: the 10% at the very bottom get 2, next 10% above that get 1.

Utterly deflated. Horrendous 2 rounds of golf - lost my head early on & never got it back together - a week to forget.

We've all been there done that (IRL way too often ) Started out with an eagle too, the wheels well and truly fell of. -3 first round and then felt I had to go aggressive in R2 and ended up carding +2.

Somehow finished R4 with in the double promo mark section - don't think I'll stay there but 1 would be a bonus in a week where I'd written any marks off.

Not a ton of movement in the field and a lot of guys have played all 4 rounds Round 3 for me was a challenge never really got going. The wind killed me on a few holes where I struggled to make bogey. Ended up shooting -2. And then Round 4 happened. Not a single birdie. Shot +2. Bummed. Had a chance to be T10 at worst. Now doubtful I'll get a promo mark. Onto next week.

Gutted to see you missed out by 1 shot. I somehow got 2 marks & I’m heading to CC-K - see you there soon I’m sure

Well again missed the cut by 1, tried my best to get to even par. Even par first nine a little up then down thought that I might have a chance birdie 11 double bogey 14, birdie 17 and 18. Just if I could have one more birdie that 2nd round could have made the cut! But oh well there is always next week, did not help that I didn't get my second round score in last week in time, that one was on me so with that get 2 demotion marks, now I definitely have to fight next week to get these dreaded marks off of me!! Off to the practice range for next week going to practice until my fingers fall off! Good luck guys in this weeks tourney!!
