Well that was a good shout, exactly 6 shots back! A little bit too far to challenge for the win unless a few up there blow up, but I had a good last couple of rounds. 3rd round was a real battle with the swing line and tempo, had to take multiple practice swings to try and nail it down, think I genuinely squeezed every shot I could possibly get out of that round. Went to get another beer, sat back down and all of a sudden I was nailing it! Funny old game. Actually did miss a few putts in the 4th round but very pleased over all. Confident of one green tick, fingers crossed for two. Set you a little target to chase xEB50x and Demonondalinks I’m really just hoping to play two steady rounds to land a top 15 or so to hopefully get my 3rd promo mark. I’m not going to play the promo event, so my only hope to promote will be by earning marks. GL to you both as well! It’s been very enjoyable getting back into golf😁

Worst thing that could happen is to play too well and skip Kinetic altogether! That's where I want to get to and I'm hopeful I can get there this way. If I'm still here when the next promo event comes round I'll probably change my mind.

Frustrated to say the least with back 9 lol! I went for the long par 5 with the creek in front of green with driver. Pulled it, hit a tree and plunked it into the creek. Made par but that is a wasted stroke and maybe 2. Look forward to rd 3 tomorrrow. Hoping for some wind.

If I remember right it was medium in the last two rounds but it got to the top end of that in R4. I only went for that carry over the creek once in 4 rounds, I never liked it. On the flip side that reachable par 4 with a 3W over the creek I went for three times. I really liked this course and the options it gave you.

Just missed an eagle on 18 by a hair. Sitting 3rd currently. I am 100% more aggressive with the Razer controller. With creek so close to 18 green I would never go for it in 2 with xbox wireless. Big confidence boost.

Big confidence boost. Bit of a shame for both of us that that Sherman fella is so far ahead. Hoped I might cut the gap but he's gone even further away! I'm hopeful of a top 5 and 2 green ticks after this morning's leaderboard reveal. Just need you to do the same, plus xEB50x and SkyBlueBen to get the one they need to move up. Nice 3rd round Ben!

Crashed and burned in the 4th Round both in the Promo (which I'm presently sitting 17th) and CC-A. A bit gutted if I'm honest. All that hard work ruined. As they say in footie, we go again!!

LOL, lots of pulls when my natural shot is slight push. That's all it takes to screw up. Frt 9 score -2. Got it back a little on back 9 with - 7. Holding 5th place for now. I played for a fade on 18 but it didn't fade enough and it trickled in to water. Got a legit drop and managed a 21 yd chip in for birdie. A little positive finish after a disappointing start is fine with me. You sure had a solid final rd.

I'm glad I'm more than 2 shots back of the front 2 or I'd have been kicking myself for that first round sand wedge in to the water. They've played great, the winner got it with an eagle on 18!

Missed out on Kinetic. Took the tradesman's entrance to Elite. No doubt catch you all soon on my way down though I imagine you'll be on you way up from Kinetic very shortly.

A little surprised I've been fast tracked to Kinetic but very happy to be there.

A little surprised I've been fast tracked to Kinetic but very happy to be there. Rushed into it and screwed up my first week. Won’t be long before I end up in Kinetic which is where I wanted to land 🤣 Anyhow, far more important things happening. Play off place to secure!!
