-12 (in two rounds!) for me and a missed cut and a boatload of red thingies - and given my putting, I deserve all of them

Left myself with too much to do after a mediocre first round. Still a decent showing in rd 2 should mean I avoid the demo.
Still trying to recover from that 720 odd par 5 into the wind in rd2...

I'll be back for next week's tournament. If I can play well enough in the final round of the qualifier I might just give myself a chance to get into that event. No time left to play any other tournaments this week now.

I had something really special going in round 3. I was 12 under thorough 14. A slight fast on 15 put me into the left bunker and this time it did PLUG. 40% and I tried a lofted 7 iron to get out, but it just popped up and landed 10 yards in front of the bunker. Not such a great pitch for the third and a burned edge would force me to bogey. 16 was worse as I rushed a 6-foot putt for bird and lipped out. 17 and 18 were pars. I'm not mad about shooting 11 under to get me to 32 under after 3 but I feel like round 3 could have been 3 or 4 strokes better. Oh well... live and learn. I'm just gonna keep plugging away. Wait a minute... not PLUG... no more PLUGS please and thank you!

I'm gonna keep posting. I don't care lol. Round Four Completed. It took me three weeks to get here but I got a small chance at erasing both red marks. I've been more aware of my grip on the controller and going slower with the swing stick to make sure I have good alignment. Seems to be working better. And the game is running very smooth since the last update so that's a plus. 43 Under is a pretty darn good week for me on these courses with you real professionals. See You Next Week!

I'll be back this week, gave it a good go in the qualifier but couldn't quite get it done in the final two rounds, ended up at -39 and t43.

It looks like I might erase both Red Marks. Find out for sure after everything is finalized. At the very least, I get rid of one. I played two practice rounds at Cherrybrook with First Round Conditions. I love this course. Gives me the feeling I want when I play this game. I feel like I'm out there on the course. Very realistic look and feel. I didn't score very well. (-7) for the first attempt and after a double bogie on 18, I got a nice (-5) for the second try. Got to get used to these faster greens and low winds. I'm guessing we will see very low rounds for round one.

I'm finally starting to get the hang of Cherrybrook. Starting to shoot 10 to 11 under in practice rounds. Hopefully, I can do it officially, when I do it officially. The course has a really nice feel. Oh, wait... I said that already in the above post. Starting to talk to myself now. Not a good sign.

-24 at the cut for me this week; enough to get into the weekend? I'd bet the farm on it. The cut might be lower than I expected. I shot a couple practice rounds today. Two were 13 under. One was 14 under. And another was a nice little 6 under. It's a crap shoot for me when I do it officially. But that's why it's fun. My real problem is that I haven't even looked at or practiced any True Sim this week, yet. I'm in trouble!

Not a great week for me, first round was a horrible 70, just couldn't find a rhythm at all. 59 second round to hopefully avoid any demo marks but that's my week done.

After my True Sim Rounds I felt pretty good so in I went. I totally shanked my tee shot with a huge slow but somehow hit the fairway. And I was 256 yards away which is reachable for me. I fasted it a bit but still hit the green. Missed the Eagle Putt but Birdie was nice. Tension crept in on me and I struggled on the frontside. I was able to birdie 5, 6 and 7 but this wouldn't be enough. I turned it on a little bit, on the backside, but 17 and 18 were disappointing, as I needed at least one more birdie. After Round One, I sit at ten under par, with a clean scorecard. I'll need 12 under par in the next round, which will be difficult, considering the conditions. I would settle for anything that enables me to miss any red arrows. Time Will Tell as I delay the inevitable.

Good News and Bad News. Probably won't get any demos (fingers crossed) but missed the cut. I had a bit of a problem, with the speed of the greens, this round, as I just didn't have it. Lipped out 2 or 3 times and barely missed 2 or 3 chip ins. If I catch a couple of those, I'm playing on the weekend. Basically, Stalled Out from Holes 3 thru 12 and by the time I got it rolling, it was too little, too late. Good Game Everyone that actually reads these posts. I don't have Five Demo Marks, just yet, so you can't get rid of me that easily!

-8, -10 = -18, missed cut but at least another nothing burger of a week where nothing's in harm. Those damn fast greens in round 1, combined with near miss after near miss chip and flop (why could it not go in for once?!) and presto, you've got yourself a good, but not good enough week to start yourself off with. Maybe next week, or maybe more of the same. Who knows. I remembered this course sounding familiar, then the 11th definitely made me think that yes, indeed it is what I thought it was. One of those courses the way less experienced me played competitively all the way back in 2K21 when good ole me was in CC-G. I finished tied for 22nd that week, having been -14 at half... -9 in round 1 so that's a yikes... so not much has improved huh? Cheers, good luck next week1 (or this week if still playing)

YES! No Red Balls this week. It's the same as placing 50th without having to play rounds 3 and 4.
