Still alive for the playoffs and should be in the top 30 after the cut. The course this week is surprisingly tough

This is my last week of the season either way as off on my holidays for a couple of weeks. Had a nice 61 in the first round and was going along OK in the second. With 7 to go I was -15 and feeling pretty good, and then it all went tits up! 3 dropped shots although did manage to birdie the last to card a 68 and -13 at the cut. Thought that was me done but it turns out I'm not the only one who struggled. Now I'm in that purgatory of thinking I've probably missed the cut but having to play the last two rounds anyway just in case I squeeze in. By the time I know for sure I'll be on a Greek island! #FirstWorldProblems
Liked the course a lot but man there were some 6 foot putts that got my full attention!
Edit: Looking again I'm surely not going to stay in the top 30. Maybe it'll be a little clearer when I get home from work later.
With all 3 of my society seasons coming to a close I'm planning on a little golf break anyway, play something else and recharge for a few weeks. Hope to see you next season but probably won't be at the start.

So a first rd -7 keeps me honest if nothing else but I can't help but feel I'll regret some missed opportunities when I've finished rd2 tomorrow. I missed 2 very makeable putts on 7 and 8 for birdie and missed the fairway by half a yard (does anyone else experience this level of heartache each week?)on 17 which, with a 2nd shot from the fairway, would have made making birdie a near certainty on that par 5. I'll have to play well in rd2 to get inside that top 30. -15 may be enough. My Elite rollercoaster has one more round at least for me to experience.

Also got to -13 after two. Not really confident of making the cut with that so it might be season over by tomorrow morning.

-3, -6 = -9. Won't make it, season is over right before the big one.
Considering that at one point I was thinking I'd be looking at myself in the Kinetic side of playoffs, being here was a good turnaround this season. And at least I made it here this time, last season I flamed out into bottom 5 in first week.
Just missed way too much by so little. Except the stretch around 6-9 of R2 where I chipped in 3 times and twice for eagle... and had a 2 putt for par. By the time I was finally starting to score okay and more frequently, the 2 round session was at its end.
Well let's see what next season brings. Full season in Elite? Finally a demotion down to Kinetic that I've been avoiding like bullets flying at me? Or will I find a new gear into Plat, where I would not compete when I barely do here?
Good luck to those that made it to the final week. See you next season!

Well my final rd (2) was the predictable shambles. A final score of -9 was a poor reflection after a good opening round. I've done well to get this far but my inconsistencies, particularly from the fairway are frightening. Hopefully I can rediscover a bit of enthusiasm for the game in readiness for next season. All a bit of chore in trying to get better at the moment.

Teed off for the first time in a month or so this week. After 8 holes I was -2 and wondering why I bothered, but boy did it turn round from there. Even got myself one of these very rare birds, I think only my second in 8 years on these Tours...
59 and 56 to sit nicely in the top ten on -27 amongst a few friendly BOB faces. Now just got to figure out when I can get the last two rounds in.

Lol, I have no idea how I picked this thread over the right one?!
