No demo marks in Platinum last week for the first time ever and a decent major so far 🤞. Maybe I can survive bit longer this time up here 🤔. What’s your score so far Ross? I finished up -41. Bit gutted they went with Fruitland over The Nolia. I’m assuming it’s because it’s a different layout than irl for legal reasons?

Correct - I'm sure we could get away with it now but when 2k23 was initially released there were a lot of warnings and eyes on the courses no the no fly list. Fruitland was created as a way to have a similar feel but it be TGCT's home for the event. If we went with it, I'd fear it'd get too much attention and would disappear so best for the gen public we just do our own thing.

I'm sure I'll stuff up the final round 🤣.

Just got you Craig. Ended up -42. By far my best ever major performance. Had a double bogey in each round. Take those out and it could have been something special. In saying that I had some luck as well, so all evens out in the end.

Back in the land of normal people! Man, it's some step up in Platinum. I got one top 50 but apart from that was very much trying unsuccessfully to stay out of the bottom 20. Tough sledding 😬. A bit disappointed to miss out on playing the first Major but pleased to be back overall. Especially for this event, it's one I've got in my trophy cabinet! HB Studios champion 2016 😎🤣. And that was back in the day that people from HB Studios got exemptions and actually played in the event! They were mostly crap at their own game 🤣
A pair of 62's for -20 and a run at the weekend. Enjoyed the course. Played mostly well except for a complete debacle on 14 in the second round where I carded an ugly 7. Missed a few, made a few. Nice to be back 👍

Enjoy your Not-actually-the-Masters-week fellas. We'll chuck a few easier weeks for you after this as a respite until we hit you with the double rjwils-combo of Kicking Horse Ranch GC and the not-actually-the-PGA Champs at Peconic Fields.

If anyone sees my putter out there, could you please ask it to come home?
Seriously, I should make the cut by 1 or 2, but have between 12-16 more putts through 2 rounds than the top 10. If I had those kind of putt numbers, I'd be top 10 going into the weekend. It's really annoying to be hitting good shots but unable to convert...

Kind of similar story...
Putter hasn't been super lost so far this week (19 and 20 putts in R1 and R2 respectively), just a lot of near missing after coming off a hot start of -7 thru first 9 holes. Bogey free -16 at the half with -9, -7 splits. Half of my near misses find a way in and could be top 10 right now, possibly as high at top 5 but after the utter debacle of last week, this is fine. A ******ful display of what could have been so far.
Cheers, good luck!

Similar story here finally made a damn cut at 16 under, weekend should be fun :-) Last week was a disaster after an opening 12 under SMH. Enjoy! Nice to "see" everyone.

Similar story here too, I'm sensing a theme. Was in the running for a good finish after the first two. Putter went stone cold in the 3rd round and have to admit I eventually lost a bit of interest in the 4th. 62 62 66 71 for -27. Meh. Still nice to be back!

Finished up a little earlier for time reasons, tomorrow won't be as comfy for time as I would normally have it so just to play things safe I knocked off the rest so I won't get punished for negligence!
It was... fine for what it was. -7 in R3, -3 in R4. -26 in all. Can't help but feel like I left more than usual out there. Or maybe it's just the desire to do better at this event?
Oh well, cut made and the ****** of living life as a budget struggle artist of an Elite member continues with one less red thingy to worry about for now. (and yes, the censored bit is the no-no word starting with M that you can't say or HB will come get you... at least according to their censorship of certain words, terms or whatever-isms)
Cheers, good luck!
