Made a slow start to RD1 of Emerald Pines with an Even par followed by a -10 under for round 2. Then went south after that. Rounds 1 and 4 were brutal

Hi all. Finally making a return to this game after a few years out and wound up here after Q school. It seems what very little skill I had before has long gone and its back to learning all over again - Cant wait! Last weeks tourney (Wayne Enterprises Invitational) was my first tourney back and apart from an absolutely disastrous 3rd round overall I was happy with the result - 69,66,81,68 saw me make the cut and finish 49th overall. Hoping to cut out the disaster round this week and try for a higher finish. Good luck this week everybody!

Well, I almost had my first bogey free rounds (both in rd 1 & 2). I made it to Hole 16 and bogied, then bogied 18 and finished -6 in rd 1. UGH!
Round 2 was also very close, only bogeying hole 3.
In great position after 2 rounds sitting at -10. (-6 rd 1 and -4 rd 2).
LET'S GET SOME GREEN MARKS!

Well another week down and yet again didn't make the cut for this week. Even the practice that I put in this past weekend seemed not to help me out. Looks like there is another demotion mark is the future of this guy. Oh well that is the nature of the beast!

Disappointing week for me.
Kept throwing in fast swings and these greens were not the sort to be doing that on! Putter was stone cold too, couldn’t get anything going.
Rounds of 73(+2) and 69(-2) see me sat on E par and struggling just above the cut line currently. Hopefully I make the cut and get a chance to redeem myself in the next 2!

Well incredibly frustrating Rd 4. I was -16 heading into the last round and finished -14.
First hole, on in 2, putting downhill for eagle. JUST miss, and I knew it was downhill so I played it super short, but it still BARELY rolled past the hole then off the green. That's what started the snowball. All of the sudden hole 2, I got a slow swing on my tee ball and put me in a TERRIBLE position. Then again tee ball on #3 was slow and it went OB right. I NEVER get slow swings. In fact, I intentionally get fast swings and play a draw. Never could get going after that start. Ugh.

Unlucky macclovin but still a pretty decent showing, well played.
I scraped in just above the cut line but it didn’t get any better. A +2 and a +3 saw me finish on +5 overall. Putting was a just a nightmare, struggled all tourney for some reason.
Ah well, onto the next. If I’m late to the tee it’s because I’m on the putting green!! 😂

Working away this week so had to rattle my rounds off in one go this tourney.
No early spoilers but reasonably happy apart from the one round. Can’t seem to shake that damn bad round !
Rd1 - Played and putted well -8 Rd2 - Had a mare, move on … Rd3 - Played ok, recovered a little … Rd4 - Played well. Bogey free until 18 😡 …
Hoping for a better result this time out.
Good luck all!!

Well, just like you guys. Had one good round, a couple frustrating eh rounds, and the final round was a disaster. 2K decided to push out an update mid round in the final round and screwed me up. Oh well. Onto next week....I feel like I keep saying the same thing after every tourney! lol.

Quick question, do we play "majors" in this challenge circuit?
It's been fun playing some of these fictional courses, but man it would be fun if we played some of the real life courses.
