Off to a good start this week with a -11 after a nice four day weekend spent mostly playing real golf and watching the Masters. Funnily enough my course also had a huge tree fall down, although it was struck by lightning.

Funnily enough my course also had a huge tree fall down, although it was struck by lightning. On the pixel golf course? Yeah, sorry, that was me - had some bad tempo early on and hit some... Got better after that and sitting at -22 after two - will make the cut comfortably for a change and looking for a nice finish later this week.

Nice Shooting fransslabak and twofor22 ! My first round was a tale of two nines I suppose. I had it rolling pretty good out of the gate. Birdie on One and a perfect shot for an Ace on Two felt good. Two more birdies after that and Bogey was waiting for me on 5. A couple more birdies to close out the front nine at 6 under par. The back nine started out promising but a couple slippery putts fixed that. And I played 18 as about as poor as I could. Had to settle for par. 85% FIR and 94% GIR is what I am really happy about. 10 Under is in the Hunt to make the Cut and not bad considering I just switched out of EA Golf. I really like this course and it suits my style of play. It looks very realistic to me, and I like the graphics better than EA, but I like dark colors of green. Round Two can wait as I take a break.

I meant my real course ð Decent couple of rounds there, I'm hoping to have a good second round as well, at least the first one has taken a bit of pressure off.

Round Two started off with a missed fairway, into the sand, on the right side. Second shot was a touch over the green, but I was able to get up and down for par. The front side was a bit of a scramble as I alternated par and birdie to perfection. Not exactly what you want to do if you are trying to score low but 4 under at the turn was commendable. The backside started off with a Bang as we landed an Eagle Egg and prayed to the Lord for strength and nutrients. (See Nacho Libre for Reference) Anyways, the next par 5 on 12 was disappointing but when you do the Lord's work you persevere. Hole 13 is usually the Devils Curse and this time, off the tee, was no exception. A nice hard, slow right into the bunker with a difficult second shot. The nutrients must have kicked in because so did the ball. Wedge Play continued to be on Fire, from the Holy Spirit, as I chipped in for bird on 15 and 16. They always come in threes when you're blessed from above. Another demon got ahold of my swing on 17 but an angel let me hit an amazing flop shot within inches of the hole. Tap in for par and onto 18. Last time we didn't play this hole so great. This time would be different as it was a Textbook Fairway, Green easy straight 10-foot putt for another Eagle. 7 under on the backside and we all know that 7 is the Lord's Favorite Number. Only one shot back, nipping at fransslabak heels! EDIT: Just looking over my Round Two Stats and the GIR (44% total and 33% on the backside) was a horror show. I scored well but that GIR is going to give me nightmares.

Second round was a nonsense. I played 10 holes earlier and was at -4 for the round, but unfortunately stupid work got in the way and I had to finish it tonight after I got home again. I hate playing the game at that time because I'm usually too tired to concentrate properly and play like crap, as happened again and I never improved on the score. -15 is right on the cut line now, but I'm guessing by tomorrow it'll be outside it. Oh well, plenty of footy and real golf to keep me occupied until next tournament.

-9, -4 for a damn near heartbreaking -13 and another missed cut. This could have been the week to make the cut again, choked it so bad.
With how absolutely awful my putting has been recently, I certainly am glad to have not gathered demos once again. Just don't know what's going on anymore, I have become aggressively mediocre. Next week I guess either I finally get through it or finally start my countdown back down to Kinetic. I can't foresee any other outcome with how things are going right now.
Cheers, good luck either this week if still finishing up or next week if already have.

Next week you shoot lights out, make the cut and get rid of those red marks. Worst Case scenario, you go down to Kinetic and grind your way back up to Elite. It's only a matter of time before I fall down to Kinetic myself. No leeches on me please!

It's only a matter of time before I fall down to Kinetic myself. No leeches on me please! Yeah, my bad for the uncharacteristic outburst. Mentally drained lately, having finally felt like I had a shot at a made cut for the first time in weeks and then got gutted out by the second round with things piling on for the worse. I try to not let things get to me but how it's been feeling like lately it's been just a massive kick in the junk, or that's how it feels like. But you right, I'll try to bounce back next week. Although if I ever go back down, trust me on this: I won't grind back up, I had to rely on a cereal box promotion in the promo event to get here! And you won't go back down with how you've been doing lately. For someone who took a big jump you're hanging well!

Yeah, I should be safe from those, although as of right now I'm still inside the cut, I'll check it again later when I fire up the game and play the next round if I'm still in, otherwise a bit of match play or whatever today and tomorrow.

Somehow sneaked into the weekend rounds, but it's largely a waste of time since I keep playing progressively worse each round for some reason. -2 third round, what rot ð
