MC for me this week. A really poor opening round left me with two much to do even though rd 2 was much better. Shame as I like these type of courses and set ups and wish Elite featured more of them. Thankfully I've The Open and 2nd test vs the Windies on the TV to keep me occupied this weekend.

It's friendly around Acadia Lodge this week. There's thought on the odd occasion off the tee, more centered around where you want to be playing your approach and good distance control is needed at times with your approach to counter the elevation changes on some holes but all in all, expect some low scores and another low cut line week. I'm -25 after 2 to illustrate. Good luck to everyone taking part.

Will be taking the week off at Acadia Lodge this week. Trying to qualify for the OGs and wanting a lighter schedule (most likely will fail at qualifying but who knows). Could try and pull a fast one and skip weeks until the tour championship run begins to make sure I won't get demoted since I am danger close to it... or do the stupid move and tempt fate with the 2 weeks left before that to see if I'll get knocked off into a guaranteed Kinetic run instead. Seems like a fun little game to play while the season is coming to an end, eh? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Anyways, best of luck the rest of the way! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Missed cut this week, poor first round to blame unfortunately. I couldn't get the swing tempo right at all, it just felt really random and all over the place. Usually I'll shut down and restart the game when this happens but I didn't on this occasion.
I played a lot better in the second round when the swing tempo behaved like normal again, but it got to a point where I needed an ace on 17 and a holed out second shot on 18 to make the cut. Instead I made a bogey on 17 🤣
Probably gonna get a red mark but hopefully I can erase it next week.

A disappointing opening 2 rounds if I'm being honest this week around Jogawski and I think at -19, I'll be looking over my shoulder between now and Thursday. I didn't quite feel the rhythm and whilst I didn't play badly there were too many opportunities to score that I missed. Played poorly in the opening round, missed too many putts and whilst I was much better in round two, a par, instead of a birdie, on the last probably means I've a nervous wait. Good luck to everyone this week.

Danced the tightrope of death this week.
-9, -8 = -17, missed cut but should avoid demotion since all it takes is one.
Was on the rocks after the tee shot on 18 R1, saved par (which in hindsight could turn out to be a massive save) and if only I hadn't parred the whole back 9 of R2 until 18...
Still alive and (not) well (yet)... I think.
Cheers, good luck!

Short and terrible week for me only managing to get to -13. Probably more demos coming. Will not miss that 13th hole.

A couple of avoidable errors I think will cost me this week as I sit at -18 after 2rds. History tends to show that doesn't make cuts on Elite. Played some good golf but two avoidable bogeys in each round and a very costly double on the ridiculous 9th in rd 2 will likely consign this week as an MC. Good luck to everyone.

-8 first round for me this week which should have been better, but anyway. Hopefully have a decent one next round to play the weekend.

-5 in the 1st round to put me in, (near enough, it doesn't matter) last. Will need some serious damage control to save me from those pesky red things.

-9 second round for -17 at the halfway point. Probably won't be enough unfortunately. Two bogeys didn't help, including one on that 9th hole.

After a few weeks of messing about, I decided I might as well play the first playoffs tournament... Played okayish but my putter could not handle the greens in these conditions. -14 after two rounds 46th on the money list I might very well just miss out on the next tournament on both criteria...

Well I won't be playing this week's tournament due to being on a sunbed in Gean Canaria until next week. Should be OK to participate next week due to my position on the money list. Looking at the first round scores, it looks another flat track. I do hope the coming weeks get tougher to reflect the stage the season is at...

Played ok in the first, -9 with 2 bogeys. 2nd proved much better with -12 and no bogeys. -21 at the cut should see me into next week.

-6 in first. -1 front and the back gave me some life, although the start left a lot to be desired.
Back was against the wall, look at conditions for R2 and thought to myself "well, I haven't played much lately at all so goodbye to my season!". Pull out a -10 and if not for starting off slow and just missing a few shots by a hair to give me chances to putt, I could have maybe escaped into a cut.
Bogey free for what was an actually better than I expected performance.
I need to make a cut or else it's all done for me, since 11 out of 35 cuts with barely any good results has left me stranded far out in the money list. I know I may have weaseled my way into making this tour championship again (3 straight years now, for someone who's done pretty much f*** all here except hang out and trying to avoid demotions), what with 4 demos and not playing events lately. Just haven't felt much like playing at all and chasing the cut actually got me feeling things again, if for just a short while. I expect to miss out by 1 once all is said and done (I'm hanging by a few threads and honestly it does not look good) but if that's it for me, I felt like I'm going out okay. If I make another week, well... damn!
No idea what's next, but we'll see in the future. Good luck to you who can progress more comfortably!
Cheers.
