Got off to a pretty good start but started to fizzle from R3 on. Should avoid demos this week at -31 (fingers crossed). Winter theme grid lines got me like:

I thought that since we celebrate Christmas in Sweden on the 24th and I messed up my shoulder a few days ago and cant do much I might as well write a victory speech. I remember my first competition in TGC, it was the opening qualification for the tour on 21 and I was excited to play. There was however a major problem, it was on master and I stayed far away from that impossible difficulty. I decided to play anyway and try to somehow score under par. I had a great start with something like -3 after 9 holes and even with the game telling me I was out of bounds when I could clearly see that I wasn't and the game forcing me to shot my drive from the tee again when I bounced into the water on a par 4 I kept on fighting. Then on the 8th and last round I had my first TGC choke that cost me a place in elite but it was still fun :smile: . Now a long time later I somehow won in plat against all of the best players I certainly never thought that would happen. So its time to start thanking people. First of the people behind TGC, I don't even know who you all are except Doyley#4914 but thank I thank you all for starting and keeping up with such a great tournament. I would also like to thank all the course designers, the game would be dead without you. I would also like to thank also like to thank all the other society competition creators such as @up mup kupen nup#2312 , Apex, Chewbucca and many others that make the game so fun to play. I would like to thank the many streamers I have watched to become better such as @lzr_SloanerTW#5815 , zcolbster#7857 @kara#1362 and so many others, I cant write everyone. I would also like to thank everyone in the community, its nice to play a game with such a positive community. I wouldn't have won without Colorado scores scaring everyone of but its probably wrong to thank him. The last person to thank is the player that have taught me the most about this game and that is my regular teammate peskypeanut#7614 . Still the only player that have performed a 360 in the forward swing. I have probably forgotten a lot of people such as InsanericK#1034 and others but Its not like I thought I would win so forgive me. I have seen the best players swing planes and it makes no sense that I could ever win in plat. I hope Doyley or anyone else ever checked my API and had a good laugh. Well that's it, happy holidays everyone

I think this is a fantastic trend to start. Every winner in each bracket should have to give a victory speech/post game interview to get the trophy.

You've been pushing for wins all season long it was only a matter of time, and in rather simular words to hb_craig in colbys stream, nobody needs to swing perfect and straight all the time to score well (although this certainly still helps), you've just got to be consistent. You've certainly been that!
Love the victory speech! It's always nice to hear it mean so much, the passion is real!
Lindsay.
