Not sure if it's a little too early to kick this off but nice to get the banter going...
At least there's no lag on this one!
Thought I'd play one of the top ghost balls, just for fun. The guy was -10 thru 9 and I forgot that it keeps track of your nett score (+4 for me). Totally lost track of my score as I was too busy watching the ghost ball rack up birdie after birdie. Didn't think I was scoring well (I had a few good approach shots but nothing great). Got to end of back 9 to find myself -8. I missed a couple of REALLY short putts, like I usually do, so I know there's a -10 if it all fits together.
Chances are come tourney day I'll be barely under par!
Anyway, will be great to hear people's thoughts on this

Not entirely sure where I'm playing this week so will post here first - poor start and quite a few bogies left me with a 70. Wind got up and my game took off with a 2nd round 59. The wind dropped slightly and so did my game with back to back 66's.
Hopefully everyone else will fair better but bound to be some high scores again
Best of luck

Played the first 2 rounds with a 63 & 64. Not sure how I managed a 64 in R2, there were some holes I didn't see the fairway and others I dealt in only bunkers... Going to need some course management if the winds stay the same and I want to increase my FIR. Liking the course though, if you miss the fairways it sure does try to take chunks out of your ass!

Top of the leaderboard at the mo! Well done, Justin. With those rounds I'm sure we'll be welcoming you to CC B. Question is whether you're here for long! All the best bud for the remaining rounds

Very cool course, I really enjoyed it! I wish I hadn't blown so many putts I could be in much better shape! Props to the course designers, I can appreciate the work that went into this gem of a course.

Winds died for my last round. Eyes lit up and I proceeded to shoot my worst round of the 4....... What an odd little game golf is

-33 I didn't post it because I didn't want to come across as moaning about that score (I'm not) It was more of a keeping the thread/banter going post

My last practice round went so well, -10 including a bogey on the last. I was ready to start. I missed a easy birdie on the first but managed to get one on the 2nd. I bogies the 3rd although I can't remember what happened. My luck just wasn't in. Shots in practice which just made it over bunkers were now going in bunkers, putts were being missed. I was Even going onto the par 5 5th hole. The ideal opportunity to get back to under par. The wind was generally light but I had a head wind here. I wasn't able to reach the green in two unless I used a 5 wood, it would have been a dodgy shot. I played the 3 iron right and short to leave myself an easy flop shot but I mustn't have noted my lie and I ender up hitting it left, straight into the water. I wasn't able to get up and down and lost another shot. Yet again, I started a tournament and within a few holes I'd ruined everything. I bogied the 7th too and I started to think, here comes my 2nd strike, +2 already! Then I thought, you've played 7 holes of 72, you have 65 holes left. You can still get top 70, hell you might even be able to get top 30 and wipe that strike off. I was playing well, hitting the ball as straight as I ever had. I managed to turn it around with 5 birdies and an eagle on the last 11 holes to finish -5. It puts me a few shots behind top 30 but well on the was for top 70.
The mental part of real golf is huge and it's just the same here. I just felt great knowing that I'd battled my way out of a hole. Onwards and upwards hopefully.
Sorry for the long rambling post but I just love this tour, the closest I'll ever get to being a golfing pro!

Fingers are crossed I've done enough. Don't think I have the sustainability for web just yet. As long as I don't slide backwards!!

Well done Justin! Great score and top 3 finish. Earned your spot in CC-B this week, congrats.
Dean - top 10 mate! Well done. Great scoring, pleased for you.
Chris (big tall) - just missed out on a top 30 spot, unlucky mate. Better luck next week.
Some very low scores in CC-B this week, congrats to the top boys and girl.
I finished in top 20 in CC-A so hopefully I get my card there this week.
Good luck to those on exemption.... DEAN! You've done enough for a shot into A. Best of luck
