I’m guessing you will be skipping the promotion event going on this week out of fear for actually getting promoted up a tier or two? I got my CC-K promotion email today. Since I’m away for the week I won’t be joining you on the leaderboard at all. No more promotion events for me. My goal is to get back to Q-School where there's no pressure at all.

Back home and playing my first rounds in CC-K. -2 after 1 which currently has me in 6th place somehow. Making the cut already seems likely unless I totally flub round 2.

Round 1 - 81
When you've stopped playing altogether (Sims 4 is a lot more fun and a lot less frustrating) there is no way you can shoot well. Thank goodness I'll only have to play 2 rounds this week. Can't be back in CC-L soon enough.

I flubbed my round 2, but not totally so I’ll comfortably make the cut. Finished +2 to be even par at the cut. Should have been two or three strokes better just based on really short putts that I missed and had no reason to miss.

Round 2 - 78
Safe to say I won't be making the cut this week. Thank God. Now off to play some Sims 4 and actually have some fun.

I’m so glad I’ll make the cut. Just played round 3 and put up a solid +15. Easily the worst round I have ever played in this game. Not sure if it was a course exploiting my weaknesses or just everything that could possibly go wrong all going wrong. Missed putts that I would normally never miss. Compensate for wind or lie and have the ball fly like none of those things mattered. Not compensate for wind or lie and have the ball fly exactly like you’d think it would if those things mattered. Land the ball close to the hole and have it hit the very top edge of a slope that rolls it half way across the green. Play it longer to have it go past such a slope and have it go way longer than it should. Play it short so it has lots of room to roll to the hole and either have it stop dead where it lands or still roll half way across the green past the hole. Anytime I tried anything at all the exact opposite of what I was hoping would happen ended up happening. It was fun.

I had a quad bogie on hole 1 in round 2. Miraculously only finished 8 over par. Just glad I'm done for the week. At 19 over I doubt I'm coming even close to the cut line. And now, back to Sims 4.

After my last two rounds being horrible I played what was probably my most cookie cutter round ever and it felt fine. Tee shot on to the fairway. Approach shot on to the green about 20ft. from the hole. Miss the birdie putt, sink the short par putt. Repeat 11 or 12 times. Ended up -1.

Shame on me for not breaking par on this cream puff course.

Round 1 - 71 Shame on me for not breaking par on this cream puff course. 15th out of 30 in the early going. You’ve set yourself up for an interesting second round. A similar score to round 1 could be good enough.

Round two was kind of a go nowhere round for me. Struggled to hit the ball straightish or consistently off the tee. My round just bounced back-and-forth between +1 and even until birdies on 17 and 18 dropped me to -2 for the round. Sitting close to the top 60% cut line with -1 after one so I was hoping I could get a -1 or -2 in round two, so mission accomplished. Not a guaranteed cut made but I think I’m in decent shape. Finding the greens on this course to be deceptively challenging although that could just be the never ending 20ft. putts I have on every hole and I haven’t sunk a single one yet.

Sinking long putts was the only thing that saved me in round 1. My drives off the tee were horrible. GIR was abysmal. Haven't played round 2 yet. Almost afraid to.

What’s the worst that could happen? You totally blow it and get two demotion marks? Oh well, wouldn’t be the first time. Just play and don’t even think about your score. This is a tough course to screw up too bad so just play safe and aim for par. If you can do that, you should be fine.
