Dear TST enthusiasts, This week would be a good week to score well and earn yourself some money to rise in the money standings and secure a good starting position in the Tour Championship. We play Scioto Country Club this week, which is not only a beautiful course but also provides a very tough challenge, especially on the greens. My advice: hit it close!  Next week will be your last chance to secure a good starting position for the Tour Championship, which will be based on the money standing after conclusion of week 41: www.tgctours.com/Tour/MoneyList?tourId=5&season=2023For the Tour Championship, EVERYONE CAN PLAY, but the leader in the money standings will begin at 10-under par. The No. 2 player will start at 8-under. The No. 3 player starts at 7-under; the No. 4 player starts at 6-under; the No. 5 player starts at 5-under. Players 6-10 start at 4-under; players 11-15 start at 3-under; players 16-20 start at 2-under; players 21-25 start at 1-under; and all other players start at even-par. I will provide you with the starting strokes and standings after each round, right here on the forum and on discord. Good luck and have fun, Frans |

Couldn't really catch fire with a -10 but I remember this course (I think) from another tour, maybe in 21, and it's a really nice layout and a test for sure.
Will be taking a break for a few weeks before -hopefully - the new season starts and will be back in earnest then. Play well guys!

A lot of these pin placements leave a lot to be desired. smh.
edit: E +5 +4 +12 (speed golf) = +21

After playing too aggressive in the first two rounds, I switched to ultraboring bogey free golf; doesn't really impact score... but, I enjoyed it more...   Round 3: -3 (15 pars and 3 bogeys) |

-1, -4 for -5 start.
Played pretty quick, late and tired. I procrastinated too much on this one, but my perfect attendance record for the season is too much for me to drop now.
Played just a handful of holes pretty well so far through 2, and yet I may have a shot at my best TST finish... who knows?
Cheers, good luck!

Apologies for this week. Only played 1 round before cut line. Real life and old man memory combined for me to not get second round played in time. Will complete the week of course 🙄

Amazing what you can shoot when the pressure is off 🤣. Even and -7 for the first 2 rounds.

R1 -1
R2 -2
R3 +7
R4 +4
Tot +8
For the first time in a month, I didn't play all 4 straight through. I played pretty well the first two rounds missing 20 putts with 2 3 putts. No double bogeys and mostly stayed out of trouble. After a couple day break, I came back for R3 without a practice round and went +6 through the first 7 finding my tempo. Had two bunker shots fail to clear the sand and skulled a chip across a green. Settled down with only another bogey the rest of the way. The 4th round was up and down but still couldn't read the greens. All in all I missed 14 and 9 the last 2 rounds but had a long of 6.7 ft in the 4th round. Just infuriating putting and just raged/sped my way through the round to get it over with.
Did not enjoy the final two rounds at all. Those greens felt unplayable at times as I spiraled. Two uphill putts where I nailed my power only for them roll 30 ft away from the pin and off the green. Missed a 3ft putt, another just over 5 ft, lipped a 6ft, one where I didn't see any break and missed by over a foot left and oner where the ball was above my feet and the pin was angled towards me that didn't break at all. Lipped a 29 footer. Had multiple chips and bunker shots run all the way across and off the green.

Playing devil's advocate here but I don't mind a very punishing course at all, especially in the playoffs. Don't get me wrong I didn't play great myself but I quite enjoy those rounds where you have to be right on it to make a score. Call it 'USGA have lost the course' conditions or whatever haha
Not saying you guys are wrong or anything, just giving the other side. Not that I took advantage at all 💁

Not that I took advantage at all 💁 Agreed, it was super punishing if you couldn't stay on the fairways and drop darts. Haven't been humbled like that in a while, haha. I felt rattled on the greens but looking back at my stats it was missing the green in the first place that put me in a position to need 1-putts for pars (and a couple bogeys) and the 4th round tied for my best putting round. Had a streak of 7 or so tournaments where I putted out of my mind so I was due for a little bit of regression! |
