Well, I'll start off by saying that I from the start did not feel comfortable with this course. A 64-67 means that I will probably not make the cut and, unlike my T-6 last, will definitely put me out of contention. I did like the course, though, and I thought that it was gettable in certain spots and not-gettable in other spots. A bit disappointed, but there is always next week.

Did the 1st 2 rounds yesterday. Scores of 64 followed by 65. Hopefully good enough to make the cut. Was a bit disappointed with my performance tbh. Had a good few practice rounds over the weekend and getting -10 regularly, and my 2 rounds were in near perfect conditions as well. It's a good course but imo the par 3's are all a bit long, long irons or a 5 wood to hit the green but for me there should be at least 1 of them as at most a mid iron shot. Have a long day today, but be home early enough tomorrow so might get the 2nd 2 rounds done and then play the waiting game to see if I made the cut or not.

Found this course very hard to load up, took me several attempts and when it did, was slightly jumpy, so decided to play all 4 rounds back to back, in 8-12 mph winds.
shot 63-65-62-61 (-33 total) so came up about 10 shots short of what i believe will be required
Good luck to all my competitors, i am already looking forward to next week

Have a long day today, but be home early enough tomorrow so might get the 2nd 2 rounds done and then play the waiting game to see if I made the cut or not. So just got the 3rd and 4th rounds done. Still hoping my 1st 2 will be enough to make the cut. If so I won't be expecting a good finish, probably somewhere in the lower half of the field. Scores of 67 & 64 in the 3rd & 4th with a total finishing score of -24. Found the greens through all 4 rounds (and in my practice ones) to be very deceptive when it comes to reading the break at certain positions on them. And the par 3's just really weren't good to me at all. Anyway I'll be happy enough to just make the cut again. Looking forward to next week, practice rounds all the way until when I'm online, in between working on the course I'm creating atm. Good luck to everyone this week. |

Shot 65-66 my first two rounds. Double bogey on 15 in round 1 had me seething going into round 2. Based on scores I've seen so far, probably good enough to make cut but not nearly good enough to contend in the top 30. Hey, there's always next week.

This is a tough course, and I think you might have a chance to get into the top-25 if you have a good 3rd and 4th round. Nice job! |

Well I've finally played my first 2 round. (Off work today and tomorrow) it's gone much better than expected. In practice my best was 69 but when it came to the real thing I got my A game out. It could have been even better too! I get the occasional problem with putting where the back swing just stops. It always happens just as I'm about to swing, the putt always goes short. This happened to me on an easy putt on the first hole. Normally that sort of start would make me lose concentration. I managed to carry on and scored a decent score (66). On the 1st hole of my second round I managed to birdie the easy first but then a 92% shot left me in the bunker on the 2nd. I managed to recover and get on the green with an easy par putt but I inexplicably missed. Again, I had to concentrate to stop the round falling apart. I didn't really get going, I was only -1 after 9. Playing this late in the week gives you a good idea as to what you need to score. It also puts more pressure on. I knew I needed a 67 minimum. I would have to make 3 birdies and no bogies on the back 9. Not an easy thing for me to do! I managed 5 birdies and no bogies and managed to card a 65. I'm delighted with the round. I'm in the top 40 at the moment and for the first time I don't have to worry about the cut. I need to ask my boss for 2 days off every week! I love this game and I love this tour!

Well played mate you will definitely make the cut this week, played all my four rounds in two days. I'm sat at -28 hope to make the top 15 this week with a bit of luck. |

I wouldn't be getting nervous until the round 3 scores go up....was just looking at the leaderboard and with apparently just over 3 hours before all 1st & 2nd round scores are due there is still 25 people yet to submit even a 1st round score and 1 to submit a 2nd round. Don't know if there some sort of delay, but I always check regularly to see how I'm fairing and I see other score being posted. Makes me wonder are people drifting away from playing. Obviously it's understandable that people do have lives to live and responsibilities but it seems to be getting more and more common lately from what I can see. Hope it's not the case that people are stopping playing. |

^^ This. I hate this. You know it when it happens, but you JUST CANT STOP it. Waaah. Makes me drink more, more than missing a 5 ft putt.

Blew the final round with a 65 for (-36). Sitting at the top right now but it won't hold up.

I've noticed a large number of people not submitting scores in all of the 3 weeks I've been playing. I think it's just a mixture of people not getting the time to play, not wanting to post poor scores and not thinking they are competitive on the particular course once they have a couple of practices. If less people were actually playing I don't think they would register in the first place. The putting glitch is so annoying as you said, you know it's going to happen, you can do something about it but you just can't react quick enough! I wish I could get a 65 and say "blew it". A 65 for me is I 'nailed it'  ? |

I got lucky with the winds as I played all 4 rounds with the majority of winds under 5mph. Due to better weather up here in good ol' Wisconsin, I don't really want to commit time in playing a bunch of practice rounds so I'm starting to just jump straight into the tournament. It seems to be working out decently and I finished this tournament at -35. I had a few putts in the first round that bounced in and out of the hole which was pretty frustrating but other than that, though, I'm pretty pleased with how I played. It'll be interesting to see where that score finishes on the leaderboard.
