At 8000 yards I don't know how people had almost as good a scores as they did every other week - I struggled and my irons weakness was exposed - I was dead last in Palmer but rallied in the final two rounds - I still may get a demo mark but that last round was fun. Chipped in on #1, hit a 17-footer on #2, holed out for eagle from 15 yds on #3, holed out from 33 yards for eagle on 16 then hit the flagstick on 18. 70-66-66-65 (-21) Cool course never heard of it and I'm a Dylan fan. Great song and album. See ya next week.

Well, it has finally happened. 7th try of asking, it had finally become too much for me. At last, this guy has been set free from his struggling and is finally free to try and cause havoc at a level where he belongs.

Shot a very woeful -3, -1 weekend to go from -12 to -16. Anything in my game wasn't really out there, except for maybe the putting? Like, being one of the rare few to crack perfect medium range and being 9th in long putting amongst PC brethren and sisters, you'd think I'd be doing alright... but then you look at my other stats and figure "yeah, makes sense now". But I guess when my putting is great, nothing else is, and when the putting isn't, then the opposite happens or nothing ends up being great, which I suppose happened this week. Oh well.

Been on the tours for almost 2 seasons and never been demoted yet, and won't be because I'm at worst finishing where I currently stand. Only took about 9 weeks of True Sim flight system to cause that demotion to happen. If you had asked at any point before week 34 if my first demotion ever would be in True Sim, I'd have said a very clear no. But here we are. Ironic, isn't it?

Looking forward to finally be somewhat competitive again. Think I have treaded the line of "meh" here for far too long and maybe this is the kick needed to finally get the head back in the game. Can only take so much of just making the cut followed by not much else, and then later barely hanging on for dear life to finally lose that fighting edge which I hope to now rediscover!

Cheers, and good luck! And to the Hogan folks, look out because I'm toooootally winning next week just to bounce right back up there... yeah, right...

Mojo temporarily absent it seems, but I think maybe you're right and this is the stimulus you need to catch fire again. I ended up -31 this week and you are head and shoulders a better player than I am Tomi, so it makes no sense. But I'm sure you'll bounce back really quickly, although it may take at least two weeks because: "...winning within your flight will not promote you to the next flight automatically. Although, you will earn +2 movement marks and be well on your way to moving up."

Good luck in Hogan, but don't linger!

Yeah, been kinda off on my game somewhat (very much so over in TST land at least), so yeah, guess this upcoming week is a good idea of where I'm actually at. I don't know about being heads and shoulders better though Nigel! You've been looking quite the player yourself, whether that's more lately or always has been, and pretty sure that -31 is no fluke. Looks like you might be replacing me for this next event so have fun if you do go up there, trying to join back up as quick as I can.

And yeah, no idea why I was remembering the CC rules of promotion for some reason where a win is automatic promotion so yes, 2 weeks minimum... hmm, maybe I really do need a head check.
