We are on to week 10 on elite, and that means a trip to Hillyshill Walking Club by Matt F. Adamzick M. This course is described as resting on the west coast of Scotland between the hills and water. The course plays at 7245 yards from the black tees, and I think should provide plenty of challenge with with big elevation changes, blind shots, water, uneven ground, big breaking putts and strong winds. Welcome to all the newly promoted players here on elite. Good luck to those of you fighting off those evil red marks.

Really a great course. And maybe one of the more difficult I’ve played in a long time. I practiced this course prepping up for this weeks event. And im sure my scores won’t be enough too even make it this week
Still a pleasure teeing it up on this one. Very well done

I thought this looked familiar, I played it in a master society late last week. I probably should play other society events for practice on Sundays after my own real rounds instead of these tournaments, always end up stuffing up too much and posting a mediocre score as a result. This week I opened with a -8, so I'll have to do a bit better than that in the second round to make the cut I reckon.
On the upside I did at least win my club competition, first win since becoming a member there, so that was a nice way to finish the weekend.

This was great frustrating fun. Love this style of course. After a -12 start, had a poor finish to Rd2 and ended -20 at the cut, which I think may be borderline. Carried on and finished -42. No rushing shots on this baby. Plenty of thought and mental arithmetic required when working out club selections. Cheers and good luck all.

The Happy Tee Friends are looking for players!
We are a friendly group of pixel golfers enjoying team based competition in good atmosphere. Teams of 4 players are put together by means of a draft, so there's no need to have a complete team to be able to join! Season 7 will start soon, and we are looking to expand from 40 to 48 players!
Requirements: - Be a member of one of the TGCT Pro Tours (Kinetic, Elite, Platinum) - Play the weekly Challenge Circuit tournaments (= 4 extra rounds per week) - Report your scores on Discord or in the forum
Feel free to send me a message if you're interested and I'll provide further details!
Cheers,
Kevin

Shot -10 in the second round, not sure -18 will be enough to make the cut but will wait and see where I land before I play any more rounds. Time to get some practice in in the meantime

Made the cut and then did diddly squat in R3 and especially R4.
Excellent course and setup! A small complaint is that the green complex on hole #4 is a bit, well.. "extreme".

What a great course, I LOVE blind tee shots and the designer has nailed these. Doubt I’ll make the cut after -7 in RD1 but I’ll be quite happy playing in mid table Elite all season because the courses have been so good and the conditions are fair

I'm just inside the cut line at the moment, so I decided to play round 3 today. Got to -9 so not gonna be threatening the top spots this week. I rather enjoy this course, just had too many approaches ending up miles from the hole, sometimes from miscalculation and sometimes from slight grey fasts/slows. Also missed a few easy putts along the way. I'll finish off tomorrow, but expecting similar so I'll probably finish 50th or lower.

Had a member on here message me who I used to play with from the tgc 2 days. He said with my stats I need to demote myself to CC tour and make it more enjoyable for myself. Not sure if that would be desirable .. or if that would be called sandbagging ?

Just got squeezed out of the cut after all. Bit disappointing but there's always next week!

I like to watch player progression within all of the tiers and doesn’t the winner of the Elite Tournament move up to Plat? I see last weeks winner is still in Elite?
