Some of the plat vets may remember this course from the beginning of last season. Modeled after an Alister Mackenzie course known as Pasatiempo, tucked in the hillside above the city of Santa Cruz in California, Pastimes by gamesdecent is an interesting challenge. similar to another certain Mackenzie course down in Georgia, the greens require approaches from the right angles in and at times can simply require perfection in order to even have a makeable birdie putt. are the greens probably a tad overcooked in places this week? Likely. To counterbalance it you may find some softer green conditions to allow you to stick it close

Bloody stoked to hit 2 x -13's to start. Reckon I might be in for a cut this week....first in a while. I left a few out there as well. Got a couple of rollercoaster rolls that ended up bogies in Rd1. Bounced the ball off the fringe left of 12th green and ended up other side of the adjoining green and had a 60 something yard pitch up the hill. Look out for that sucker. Anyway, the weekend chewed me up a bit and -8, -9 to get to -43. Greens weren't playing the game...some really dicey pins but if I can shoot in the -40's, it's still fair enough. Have fun all. Missing next week due to work unfortunately. See you all in week 5.

Still here... Purposely slowed myself down by means of playing with a ghost. Resulted in my best result after two rounds in this Pro swing era: -22 Still made silly mistakes, even managed to get two bogies, but overall a significant improvement over the first two weeks. Also still feel I'm leaving at least 3/4 shots per round out there. Will this be enough to make the cut and get rid of the nasty red thingy I collected last week? Probably going to be close... Best wishes Frans

This is and has always been one of my favourite courses in the game. It's just a stunning plot and a great golf course routed on top of it. Those greens should provide a great challenge this week, your former plat scheduler likes to challenge golfers

Holy smokes batman. Started with two nice three putts from close range in round 1. -14 at the cut. Might be getting that last red mark this week

-22 at the cut with an extremely silly double bogey in R1.
After that I went off (by my standards) on the weekend to get it to -50. Really hoping I can make the cut at -22, fingers crossed!

Landed a SW with no extra spin on the green at 90 yards, spun back off and rolled down to 42 yards.
Cool.
-6 after one is not great, Bob.

I was 80 yards out but with that massive headwind. 2nd shot approach rolled back 40 yards down the hill. Tried to flop up my 3rd shot. It rolled right back down to where I was. I stubbornly tried the exact same shot because it was about a yard or two from stopping at the cup... it rolled back down again. Finally took my medicine and clubbed up with my 5th shot, then hit the putt for a double. Agh. I was -10 through 13 when that happened - oh boy so frustrating!

I got up and down for par from probably that same exact spot, lol. So not quite as bad. But it was just indicative of the par train I was squarely riding on the back nine. Also had a 3-putt on one of the par fives so it was a good time all around.

Disaster round one where I was +3 through 5 holes. Righted the ship a bit but only managed a -6
Of course I follow that up with a -14 in round 2 with a beauty of an Ace on 13 to put me at -20 at the cut.
Looks like I'll be missing my third straight cut by a stroke.

Just didn’t enjoy that one bit, so consequently again just finished one round. Just a bit too much for me to be arsed with, those greens.
40% just where I am with the game (CBA to put time into what presents itself as a chore rather than a reasonable challenge) 60% to do with the course.
Will try again next week if I’m still around.
