Dear TST enthusiasts,
For our Arabian Dreams Challenge, I’m taking you to Al Barsha - per exception, this is a fictional course but it’s good, it plays lovely and it provides the atmosphere of a Middle East tournament. For the remainder of the season, we’ll return to RCRs, don’t worry.
Let’s see whether you can avoid the bunkers! 😎
Have fun and good luck,
Frans

SHOULDN'T HAVE!!! Round 3: +4 Round 4: -6 I think you should edit the score seen as we have video evidence that you clearly holed the birdie putt. The problem is if you lose connection or the game crashes it normally makes you replay previous shots or the ball is overhanging the hole and you lose a stroke. |

+3, +1 for +4 after 2.
Was really considering skipping this week. Haven't been 100% due to sickness and then a confirmed case of COVID, my Master level game has suffered because of it (so jumping to Legend is a really fun idea with that in mind, yeah?) lately because I haven't been able to fully focus. And it really showed at times. Not that it was noticeable due to my scoring based on previous weeks...
Even through 9 in R1, tempo goes out entirely for the last 5 holes for 3 bogeys on 14, 16 and 17. I had 2 birdies in the front for... something at least?
+3 thru 4 in R2, -5 thru 6-9. Got to 2 feet from HIO on 7th, then made a 30 yarder for eagle off the heavy rough on 9. Neat, I guess. Then had a near 45 footer for par go in on 11 when I wasn't even trying (I've made like 2 or 3 long putts so far and that's one you finally get to go?) and then because I can't have nice things, struck bogey on EXACT same holes in the last 5 than in R1.
I've hit 14 bunkers so far. Plenty of beach time because my shots are homing in on anything but the good stuff most of the time. If there's anything consistent in this for me, it's that. Too bad that's the one thing and not... well, anything better than that.
Cheers, good luck.

A decent first round of -6 that ended with a 70 foot 2 putt on 17 and also a 70 foot 2 putt on 18, some nice lag putting to finish the holes under par. My lag putting has been very good these last few weeks.
Round 2 just couldn't get the putter like the first round but a solid -2 total .
-8 and exactly the same 2 round start as last week. Will have to start my rounds on a Sunday and finish the next Saturday lately as I don't like playing 4 rounds in a day and am away week days. Very nice course that is set up well again 👍, enjoying my rounds and am trying to play every week to see how high I can finish this season.

73,70,72,70. For a total of 3 under for the week.I think it might be my first under par week,so I’ll take it.Need to find a way to cut down on the bogey count (14 in total ).
Enjoying the grind though 🏌️🍻👍

Was thinking about not finishing with how little time and lacking brain power I had. Speed ran the final 2 rounds at +5... and -3 for +6 this week.
That R4 was probably the fastest round I've played TST this season at probably just under 15 minutes, no focus into anything. Of course it's damn near the best score I've put up. And it had probably the least amount of dropped shots at 2 bogeys. So do I just need to play faster? That might look like it works better after all...
Went from awful long putting after 2 rounds to finishing at 23% of those made on the tournament. If I could hit any shots, this might actually be kinda fun.
Cheers, good luck.
