Happy week 30 everyone. This week we are headed to Hillcountry Clay by... well... me. Yup, I'm being that guy and sending my own course to the wolves. Set alongside a winding road in the Texas hill country is an old clay, sand and gravel company property. It started out as a tribute to Mike Strantz, but sort of morphed into its own thing as I went along. This course has big greens, it has small greens, it has pretty standard shaped greens and it has greens that will make you think the shaper had some whiskey in his cowboy coffee that morning. Have fun out there and good luck!

Another week and another missed cut. Could only manage -12 after the two rounds and will probably pick up a red mark or two. Too many crappy approaches left too far from the pin for too few realistic birdie opportunities. Oh well, onto TST for this week.

Is it the Polish Classic as in the people and things from Poland, or is it like shoe polish... Well, -9, -9 to be -18 at the cut and missing by 1 most likely. Botched 17th in round 2 by getting an awfully timed red tempo that rolled off the green and the follow up chip landed inches to the left. Then had an eagle putt on 18th to make it in but just missed that too. Too bad, got an eagle on the 15th to give me that little hope of possibly making it in this week, but not to be. 2 weeks in and at least I'm making up the numbers and not looking like going anywhere yet, not up or down, and I like that. -17 last week, -18 this week... -19 next week? Cheers, and good luck.

Last two weeks went back to back out of getting a third green mark by a shot, maybe my subconscious sabotaging me as I expect to be in not very fun limbo up in Plat. Starting -25 this week though so we'll see if I'm able to wiggle out again! Love the course btw, was a little scared at first when I saw some of the more Stranz-like greens but they're nicely sprinkled throughout.

Old holdovers from the "Euro Tour" feel we had on elite. But as you can tell, the Texas hill country is nowhere near Poland. But probably has plenty of shoe polish.

Yeah, I'm just rambling there a little and wondering about the strangest of things! But yes, I figured this is nowhere near Poland, even though I assume it could fit the rural outskirts of it by looks. I think it's hilarious how these tour event names only match the setting about 0.01% of the time and most of the time seem to be total opposites. Like Poland and Texas, or next week's China and... wherever Royal St. Gerald's is.
