Dirtbags are coming back! We are gauging interest to see if anyone wants additional (team) competition with no extra rounds necessary each week as we play the CC schedule. We will divide into teams of 4 players. It is a lot of fun. We do ask for a season long committment. If interested, please leave your name as it appears on the TGCT leaderboards, the system you play on, the division you currently play in and your gamertag. Post in the Dirtbag NEW thread if interested. Any questions can be answered there. I hope we can get 6 teams of 4 players. Let me look into it and see how it works. I’d be worried my lowly -22 this week in CC-F would drag someone down. I’d hate to be baggage for anyone to carry. Dont worry, I played it last year when I was stucked in CCF or Qualification we are very kind

How is everyone hitting it? I’m a middle of the pack hack as Azinger might say. Limping along making cuts but not really threatening.
I am liking the golf courses so far (only played portwithick and Lauterbrannen). I feel like the majority of the setups are fair too.

Yeah it seems I’m having at least one trash round and one mediocre round per tournament and it’s keeping me from getting any promotion points.
Made my third straight cut but I’m not going anywhere. Too many of my approach shots are fast/slow and missing the green. Will finish -22 again for the week.
Can’t seem to fix the approach problem no matter how much I practice.

Stumbled into a 60 for Rd3 with a 29 on the front that included a bogey and limped home with mostly pars on the back thanks to tempo issues here and there with the wind. A decent final round and I might get a promotion mark.

I’ve been 1-3 shots behind promo mark for about 4 straight weeks. Cant quite compete for win, but consistent enough to make the cuts and be around 20-25th place each week. Sadly it’s still poor tempo holding me back…not getting any better there

Really nice work.

I keep hanging on this season. Had 4 bad weeks in a row and now 2 good weeks, made the cut. Hopefully I can keep this positive streak going. How do you look up what the course settings are for the next week (pins/tees/wind)? I'm getting back to playing the next week's course in a few practice rounds and that appears to be helping...

Looks like I'm joining you guys in F. Looking forward to the challenge. Good luck for the week everyone. I’ve seen your scores by and by, you’re a really good player so I don’t think you’ll be here long before you graduate to E. Good luck to you out there.

I'll need to do a lot better than this week though, I'll make the cut but -31 won't get near a promo mark for that course. Really disappointed with how I played it after a strong start. I need to get rid of the silly ideas of going for the 1% option and realise that a 99% chance at Birdie is better than a 1% chance at Eagle and 100% better than a Par.

Tough week to start with you lot, damn those are some good scores. I was quite happy going under 30 for only the 2nd time on the tour, then I see the mountain I've got to climb with the scores you guys posted.
Congrats on the promo marks if you got some.

I was dreading playing the course this week. I must have played at least 10 practice rounds and I struggled in every single one of them, evening struggling to break par at times. Tempo has gone, swing plane isn't quite right, and it's been a real struggle this week leading up to my CC Rounds today.
Low and behold, we started out with a -9, best round of the week on this course. Followed that with a -5 in which we carded 3 bogeys and missed a few sitters to comfortably make the cut, then hit a -8 in round 3 to take our tally to -22. Then it went wrong. That tempo left us again, when we did hit tempo we lost our swing plane, finished Round 4 with a paltry -1.
No promo marks this week for me.
There's always next week right?

Finished at -20. I thought this course was really challenging especially 5 and holes 11-14. Additionally, I’m having a terrible time the past month with extreme fasts suddenly and I’m hitting some painful duck hooks. Really struggling to get through my rounds.
