Started off this week with a 59 after getting home from my golf trip. I was -9 after 8 holes after deciding to take on the creek on 8 and ending up with a 1 metre eagle putt. Got a bit sloppy after that with some approaches not quite going as planned but enough did to post a decent score anyway.
The highlight of the trip for me was doing something I've only ever done before in pixel golf, spinning one back into the hole from about 80 metres out. Couldn't believe it, gotta love soft bentgrass greens 😁

57 second round to sit top of the in game leaderboard on -28. I think I might make the cut this week 🤣

My debut elite opener (after being on kinetic tour for 26 weeks). Looks like I may make the cut at -20. Very hard course

Well, I shan't be making the cut and advancing. -9 through 14 on round 1 and looking ok, then my game went AWOL. Ended up -8 after bogeying the 15th and parring the rest. Played only slightly better in round 2, missing a few clutch putts and wayward approach shots for a -9. -17 means I should definitely miss the cut. See you guys next season.

Really digging the course this week, a good combination of challenging shots and places to try to take advantage, feels very fair + rewarding of good shots and penalizing for inaccuracy or unnecessary risks.
I'm a couple shots back after R2, so I can't really complain, but boy do I wish I could have back 3-4 putts inside ten feet that I missed. Started to lose my feel a bit towards the end of R2, so taking a break and maybe will pace the last couple rounds out more as I get back into competitive mode a bit to close out the season

Third week back playing after an extended layoff. Seems as though the break did my swing some good. Currently sitting T-13, so definitely moving on to next week. Could have been even better - definitely dropped 3 shots in R2. Missed a short birdie putt on 3. Then on 12, hit a great pitch from 56 yards. Unfortunately it was too good. Hit the stick on the fly about 1' up from the cup and ricocheted all the way back off the green. Then on 13, had a putt with no break showing only to have it break hard right and completely miss the cup on a good swing plane. Going to have to keep the momentum going for next week, as the only way I move on is to be Top 30 since I took a while off and spent time on Platinum this season. Money list rank isn't going to do me much good.

-4, -6 = -10. Done for the season since I can't qualify through money list. Terrible, unlucky, unfocused, tired golfing because I just had to keep pushing these rounds back.
All I can say is that if you had asked the me from a year ago if I was playing in these playoffs this week, I would have laughed at your face. Went above and beyond expectations, and even though I ended on possibly the worst week for me this whole season, happy that I got here to begin with.
I need a break, 2 years of weekly golf grind with no weeks off is looking to finally win the battle against me. At least now I can finally rest for a while with way less rounds. Although, I probably won't take that advice to heart with how stubborn I can be.
Cheers, and best of luck to you all in the playoffs! May we see again next season.. probably, assuming nothing comes along in the near future to change that.

64 and 61 for the final two rounds for me this week. No doubt I'll fall off first place but it's still been a good week. Hopefully next week I can have another good first two rounds to get inside that top 30. Might have a look at next week's course later today in preparation.

Wasted a 57 in R3 by not making the cut...3 straight bogies in R1 didn't help!
