Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Cup@Famine GC at Black Horse

[hmammoth]

This week on Kinetic we have a very special event, an event hosted in honor of one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse Famine. Famine hit a major life milestone recently after started his 20,000th famine and the other 3 horse men have decided to to host a golf event to celebrate this achievement, and guess which tour they have decided to use for this event, you got it, right here on the kinetic. All eligible kinetic players should soon receive a invitation to attend and play in this event. The other horsemen have decided to send out the invitations themselves, to add that personal touch. Which invitation each of you will get, I do not know. If it is from War, it may be a little but threatening and intimidating, more like a invitation to battle than a golf tournament. If you relieve a invitation from Pestilence, it might be on the safe side to wear gloves and a mask while opening, or a bio-hazard suit if possible. If you invitation is from Death, well, I don't think you will be playing this week.

The course picked for this weeks event is the stunning Famine GC at Black Horse by ErixonStone, a course beautifully planted with flowers and plants from all over the world, wildlife from several different species wander the golf course, especially near the stunning water features, Well, that is what the course used to look like, after the 4 horsemen played a round there yesterday, the course has gone through a few changes, but don't worry, you will get a free drop if you get stuck behind the corpse of an animal. Famine has decided on the menu for refreshments for the week and has decided to go for a sparse and minimalist, which pretty much means, there will be no food or drink allowed anywhere near the course. As for entertainment after the days play has ended, the bottom 10 after each day will fight in an arena created by War to see if any will be given a bye into the next round, as for the losers, the only cut they will be making, will not be a pleasant one. Death will also read from his soon to be published book of dark poetry. In the club house, pestilence will be showing some of his private collections or rare and deadly viruses.

So, all in all, a fun filled week ahead for all of you here on kinetic, an experience that has never been seen here on tgctours and as usual the kinetic tour is proud to bring such a unique event to you, the kinetic player and who knows, maybe some of you will even survive to play again next week, good luck all.

Really loved the course this week. Had a real good variety to it. Some great opportunities if you get it right, but 1 mishap down a gully and you're in trouble.

I was steaming along at -16 on R2 with 5 holes to play, only to get a double bogey and bogey to fall back to -13. Likely a missed cut now. So be it... can't win them all!

Not sure which of the 4 horsemen sent me a letter... probably wasn't Death, otherwise I'm not here.

-9, -8 start. Double bogey on hole 2 of the tournament because... yeah nice. Then steadily scored despite some awful playing here and there. Got punched in the gut on 18 of R2 because apparently a putt that should break a tiny bit doesn't want to. And then missed the return putt from the fringe because the first one ran all the way off. Oh well.

Another cut made pretty safely. Could be more battling for good stuff on the weekend which I'm liking. Been quite a while since I've felt competitive on tour rounds so being in contention for good finishes all of a sudden after months of not doing that... that's great!

Cheers, good luck!

Welp, going to miss the cut in this one - finished -12 after two rounds. I played out the tourney and had a solid third and a good fourth for a final of -29.

Pretty clear what I need to work on. Rated first (on PC) in FIR, 5th in GIR and 11th in proximity. But towards the bottom of the pack in midrange putting. Meh.

Reading this was like Groundhog day for me Tomi! I also had a -9, -8 in R1 and R2 and I had a similar putt to you on the 18th in R2. Appeared to be no break at all but I somehow missed it and rolled onto the fringe and missed the return putt to end with bogey and -8 instead of birdie and -10! I did a bit better in R3 and R4 with -10 and -11 for -38 overall. Would have liked to get to -40 but not a bad week.

Once again... what could have been. Just a little bit more bitter this time.

Better start to R3 and I win this week. -13 for not a bad round at all, too bad my first score was the eagle on hole 5.

-11 to be 1 short of the win and sitting at -41. Par on the last par 5 because tempo went to hell probably finally did me in. I almost couldn't miss with the putter so that definitely helped.

Well, sitting at runner up spot which would still be my best TGC Tours finish so I can't complain at all, even though one more score would maybe get me the win if -42 stands. I think I used my 1 good week every season a little too early though. These 2 weeks have felt fun, too bad my time is once again up on here and I'm moving up once more.

Cheers, best of luck!
