This week we are off to a fantastic parkland course by PithyDoctorG . The course is heavily influenced by Merion Golf Club which has hosted the US Open. There are a number of short par 4's with water in play so your decision making and execution will be tested. To balance those out there are also some long tough holes, and shot shaping may be required to tackle the fairway slopes. The greens have plenty of movement to them, so expect slower green speeds. Have a great week!

I'm having a better week so far, 61 and 62 for the first two rounds will hopefully make the cut and remove a red mark. A much more enjoyable experience than last week

Lovely course! I experienced the rough to be extremely punishing, as far as lie percentages go, but maybe I was just a bit unlucky?
Anyway, played lovely tee to green but putted horribly and will miss the cut, likely collect a red thingy, but hope to escape a second one and relegation to Kinetic with my score of -14.
Best wishes for 2023 to all, Frans

Best wishes for 2023 to all, Frans I noticed this as well. Is that something designers can dictate? I'd echo Frans' comments here, very nice course and setups. I'm -16 halfway. Might hold on might not. I'm finding myself throwing shots away through lack of concentration and rushing. Something to work on. Haven't quite gotten my head round reading the amount of break on those 7-12 footers yet either. Play well folks.

-3 total through 2 holes. E total through 23 holes. -10 over the last 13 holes. Overall (total) -10 and a likely 1 red demo mark.
This game is goofy.

Tough go for me this week - miss a couple real short ones and it was the difference between a cut made and a missed cut. Should be above the demos hopefully!

Missed the cut by 1 thanks to 29 putts in R2. I just haven't had the time to play enough rounds during the week to keep top form in tournament rounds.

Did sweet FA in the last two rounds but at least I knocked off a demo mark. Onto next week ๐
On a more positive note I finally broke 80 in real golf on Friday, shooting 79 off the tips. Bit of a monkey off my back doing that ๐
