Round 4: -2 Total: -17 Okay, okay, I'll admit that the greens in round 4 were "slightly challenging"...   I did ask the greenskeeper to water them though...  Good week mate 👌 |

Hmmm, I just ran through round one practice mode. Was going pretty good at -2 but something went wrong, and I finished at +7. Must be feeling a little tired. Mustard got to do better if he wants to keep meyo off the store shelves! |

Haven't played yet, did a practice round, getting antsy in my pantsy excited about this week. About 95 players so far like in the real tourney - about half under par so maybe it won't be too difficult but I get scared of those greens so I'll be playing safe like I usually do - nothing past the hole-then again I'm not great at approach shots so I'll probably mess up this philosophy anyway. I am scared of the Sunday round according to what Frans said.

I did two practice rounds, on this course, with first round conditions. Both Times, I was over par. I rushed the last 3 holes, on the second attempt, as it was more about warm up and getting some distances down. So, in I went, to do it officially. I didn't feel too good. I think I ate something that didn't agree with me, but my stomach calmed down after a few birdies. I missed a somewhat short to medium putt on hole one and the Eagle putt on hole two could have been smarter. I had to settle for 1 under after two but that's better than over par. My approach shots and putter started to heat up for holes 3, 4 and 5. I was 4 under after 5! Two Pars and another birdie after the 8th and I was feeling pretty good. That's when I shanked my ball into the trees off the 9th tee. I got a lucky opening towards the hole, but I muffed it up and ended up in the bunker. Poor Bunker Play and a three putt would give me a double and ruin my high-flying front nine. The back nine has been giving me trouble all week on different versions of this course. But I was able to get away with some errand shots and make par. Birdie on 13 and 15 got me back to 5 under for the round. Feeling the flow, working it, working it. Bunker and Bogie on 16 felt bad. 17 was a safe play for par. On 18 I hit a perfect drive and my approach shot was about 5 feet from the cup. I turned into a little girl and missed the putt. Had to settle for par. Tied with my nemesis meyo after one. Time for a short break and onward to round two. Gonna need my wind breaker!  |

Round 2 completed and it was fun but bland and exciting at the same time. Bland, because of the final score, in the round but exciting because I missed about 4 putts for bird or eagle by inches. I could really feel the groans from the crowd, and their disappointment was starting to wear thin on me. After getting an Eagle Egg on Hole 2 I thought I might have something going here. And another Bird on Hole 4 reaffirmed that belief. A bogey on 7 was painful, as my sand shot put the ball right onto the edge of tomorrow. For some reason that ball refused to drop. I could have used Carl Spackler and some of his C4. I birdied 12, which is always glorious. Amen and Halleluiah to that! But that was the only bridie from hole 8 thru 18 and the rest were par for the course. So many close calls but I got out of some trouble and finished the round 3 under par. I'm not mad. The wind was whipping but I had my favorite Mustard Colored Wind Breaker to keep me warm. That puts me one stroke ahead of meyo going into the weekend. Good Luck and Have Fun!  |

I have a difficult relationship with this course - always been that way, always will. Thought I played well but some putts just completely baffled me… Round 1: -5 Round 2: -4 Round 3: -6 Like you Frans, I also had a difficult relationship with this course and on that old EA game I'd shoot 81 and 77 and gradually me and she became acquaintances and I'd shoot 72, 74, 70 stuff like that. More time went on and by TW2014, I was making sweet love to her with 67's and 69's. But lately I haven't been feeling so great so it was a bit rocky this week in the first round, we were getting along fine through 14 holes, I was -2, and apparently something I said ticked her off and I overshot the green on 15 and you know what happens from there - I hit a chip past the hole but not in the water, couldn't get it over the hump and tripled. Finished with a 73 (+1). Then, with her still a little pissed I was +2 in round 2 when on 12 - Golden Smell, we had a big blowout fight, and she dunked me in the water. Then 13 - I-fail-ya, I hook it and from the fairway it careens to just short of going in the stream luckily. As I stand in the stream, shoes soaked, the moment I hit it they said it went in the water and the wheels came off from there. We argued and argued and she was Disgusta by the end. A 79 (+7) - so I'm +8 after 2 rounds. I'm going to have to buy her a gift with a nice card apologizing and maybe she will forgive me by the time I start round 3. |

Better make it a love letter before you get to round 4. |

I had no Guts over the weekend and the putting sure was Tuff. I must of had 5 or 6 putts going dead straight into the hole only to break away at the last second. After a few of those you start to feel depression set in. Mix that up with a bunch of slows and fasts and you got a recipe for disaster. The front nine on round 3 was Tuff. I made bogey on 5, double on 6 and bogey on 7 with no birdies to compensate. My under-par tournament was fading fast. Bogey on 11 didn't help but birdie on 13,15 and 16 got me back on track. Finished the round at +2 which ironically is exactly what my nemesis shot. Round 4 had its ups and downs. The front nine was pretty decent and I got those 2 strokes back to put me 7 under, once again. Hole 10 was an issue and we made bogey. Hole 11 was a par and I hit it into the water on 12. Haven't hit it into the water on 12 all week in different variations of this course so that was a bummer. I knocked the pitch shot pretty stiff and got away with bogey. Hole 13 made up for that mishap with a rare Eagles Egg. But I would bogey 17 and finish 1 over for the weekend bringing me to 6 under par for the tournament. Better than what I did over at the Ultra Sim Tour yesterday which was something like 14 over par lol. The door is open for meyo as he is only two strokes behind going into the Final Round. I wish him the worst of luck.  |
