Didn't enjoy the course enough to want to play more rounds than I needed to. I am the same, this course was not fun, but maybe missing the cut (for the first time since week 3) influenced my thoughts on that. Sadly I shot better in R3 and R4 than I did in R1 & R2 combined. At least those scores help The Brew Crew and Dirtbags.

For me it was a strange course because looking at it I wouldn't say it looked tough in any way. It just seemed to find a way to get you to keep hitting the worst shots you could.

Some first round expectations for you. Winds are high single, low double digits so not a huge concern. Fairways are much narrower than the last couple weeks. Greens felt very slick. Had a lot of putts go a lot further than I expected them to. 18th was particularly bad as I went past the hole. 45ft putt 1ft downhill. Gave it a light tap and the thing went the entire length of the green and off the front.
I went +11 with no birdies and don’t think I ever had a decent putt for one.
Not trying to scare you, just hopefully prepare you a bit. My tempo was everywhere it normally isn’t today, so I had little chance at overcoming the many weaknesses in my game.

Q-School Round 1 - 75. My putting was off the charts amazing or I would have been dead in the water. Greens are a nightmare but my putting practice has paid off. Can't even count how many long putts I had to sink including a 35 footer. The wind was not really a factor. For some reason, my ball doesn't break much from the wind. Anyway, 1 round done, 3 to go.

A-School Round 4 - 75
I'm actually very pleased with the way I played this week. This is my best 4 rounds yet. Not sure I'll get a card but if I keep improving and can put a few rounds of mid 70s together, I just might squeeze one out.
Looking forward to next week.

Those scores are definitely much nicer looking than the ones you were posting two or three weeks ago.

Finished +2 in round two. My shots were consistently fast this time and my round was much better because of it. Still will finish well below the cut line though because that first round was horrid.

Congrats, that looks like a big improvement on a tough course. I think a lot of us found we really struggled, then something clicked and off we went. Great work!

I just won my 2nd MyCareer event and am up to the last rival, Tiger.

If you’re able to beat Tiger Woods at golf you should have no problem beating Joe Scrub in Q-school on this site. I’m pretty sure that’s how video games work.
