Welcome to the season 10 Elite tour discussion thread. Feel free to discuss your Elite rounds here and best of luck to everyone!
I'll start things off...
Decided to play R1 last night after a couple drinks with no warm-ups and it went much better than expected. Started things off with b2b birdies then cooled off with 5 pars in a row. Hole 8 I drove the green and drained the eagle putt which kicked off a barrage of birdies to go -12 through the last 11 holes and finish with a bogey free -14. Not a bad start to the season after taking the entire year off. Hopefully I can keep it up for another 3 rounds.

I went -51 this week. -25 at the cut. Think that'll be just short of any promo marks but should be a cut safely made. Played very well. Maybe three or four loose putts but can't complain at all. Was a very nice layout too and looked fantastic.

17 under at the half way stage so no need to play the last 2 rounds 🤣
Not playing regularly enough nowadays to compete at this level so an early season drop down wouldn’t be the end of the world.

In the same boat. -16 after two. Will be here to make the numbers up for a few weeks before heading back to Kinetic.

-24 through two should see me safely make the cut. While both rounds were -12, the first was a bit more up and down with two loose bogies to offset a nice pitch in from 74 yards. Second round was more steady, but certainly missed some very makeable putts. Hopefully I can keep it rolling when I play 3 and 4. Not 100% convinced I want to get any promo marks, but we'll see.

And 3,2,1 we're back in the room! I've had a complete break from this game with the exception of a little Friday night alt shot. These were my first solo rounds in 7 or 8 weeks so I wasn't expecting much. Approach shots were a little ropey and I made ugly bogeys to start both back 9s but I putted pretty well, including a few from the fairway just off the green and two long ones on the 35th and 36th holes. 60 and 65 for -19 at half way, I think that's got a decent chance of squeezing in for a couple more. Nice course to kick off with.
20 Xbox players on the Elite leaderboard so far. How times have changed!

Nine in platinum this week too!

Well then, I picked the wrong time to play the last 3 rounds. Went -8/-4/-15, -22 at the cut, total of -41. Funny thing is I was actually trying in R2 and 3, R4 was pretty much speed golf and ironically ended up being my best round. Had a fast forward hole-out for eagle on the par 5 hole 12 from about 110 in round 4 which was about the only highlight. Great course and setup, I just couldn't hit a tempo to save my life in the middle rounds. On to next week, I'll be hiding in the designer if anyone needs me lol.

-7, -5 to start -12. Awful start to the season and immediately staring some red marks square in the face.
Didn't feel like I was swinging all too awfully but my overall game decided to just not be great. When I swing okay I apparently can't putt, and when I can't putt the scores are like this.
Gotta be better next week.
Cheers, good luck to the season!

Hope everyone is well after the post season break. I've had some time to work on a few things, change some fittings around and have been shooting some good scores in the run up to week 1 in other societies. What could possibly go wrong...? A decent opening round (-10) although felt 2 shots light after a couple of missed putts that I should be making at this level. Managed to press the self destruct button with my second shot in rd2, hitting a driver off the deck from the fairway thinking I'd selected the 3 wood which was the club I wanted. I didn't seem to recover making some ridiculous mistakes in a closing round of -7. Currently one shot outside the cut mark but should have made the cut easily this week. New season, same old problems. Still, things to be encouraged about ahead of week 2. I hope...

Well I managed to get to double figures under par, that's about all that needs to be said about this week.

Looks like you guys were right. Gone from doubting a promo to thinking I might sneak a first win since TGC19 😬
