Thanks Dan.
I've missed the Englishman, Scottishman and Irishman practice lately. I will make more time for it this week. It's obvious that's why Kenny has finished 4 shots better than me. He's had extra coaching from you! Ha.
Have you played your first round yet?

I just played. I averaged 13-15mph wind. Definetely made the course harder, but I managed to shoot a 70 (-2)... I should of at least shot a 69, but on that last hole, I got stuck at the bottom of that plateau and I couldn't even flop out of it... luckily I only had to hit it ONE more time to get up on the green... barely. I blew like 2 or 3 birdie putts that for some reason lipped out or over the hole... and I didn't even hit it that hard...

Did the same thing on my last round, tried to get on green in two with a three wood and hit a 92% shot right to base of that plateau and ended with a bogey...that's what you get for being greedy I guess!!

73, 67, 69, 65 finishes me at -14. Damn that first round. Enjoyed this one. Couldn't make a putt for toffee though. Hopefully I'll have more chances to get online with you guys this week. Kenny if your score isn't quite good enough for the win I'm thinking you'll be having a crack at CC-B next week. Well done mate. You and Kenny are putting me under pressure now. Oh unless I can take credit for the good scores you two are posting by saying you are improving by playing with me? No, I didn't think so. In all seriousness though, its great to see ye guys shooting so well. Wont be long before ye are moving up the divisions, keep up the good work. Yes it's all your hard course selections that must be paying dividends Dan!! I really enjoy our late night get togethers. Hopefully Chris can join us for some gaming this week. My on call week with work so I'll be hoping the phone don't ring mid round!!

wow, I just hit the ball into the water on 11 and the drop it offered me was in about a 10 yard window. without realizing it, I accepted the drop only to realize that the drop zone it gave me was 856 yards from the pin...
so I'm kinda screwed on that. waiting on a response from Support on what my options are but I don't think I'll be able to save par at this point, swinging 3 at 856 yards.

71, 76, 72, 69. Terrible starts to round 3 and 4 but I was able to shot -4 on holes 10 thru 14 in my last two rounds which made up for my terrible starts. Looking forward to next week and hopefully i can break under par this time out!
If anyone wants to play some practice rounds this week for next week tourny add me to psn snukehunter96. Would be nice to play with some other people for a change lol
cheers and good luck to everyone this week

Good job coming back after a +3 start. That 64 is a nice round. It appears several of us have put in -14 rounds. Hopefully that score is up near the top and enough to stay in CC-C (or dare I say to get another exemption).

The only real issue is time differences but hopefully will get play a round at some stage.

Playing my 3rd round for this week @ Fraxinus Country Club and I landed in the water on hole #7 off the tee box. It dropped me on the green on hole #9. 797yds from the green on the hole I was playing (#7). I exceeded my shot limit trying to get to the green. Is there something that can be done about this?

Is there something that can be done about this? nope... contacted support and was told that it is an unfortunate glitch. I had it happen to me on hole #11. so note to everyone, do not go in the water and if you do pray you don't get hit with the glitch and you get a drop point that isn't on the other side of the course.

well, took a +5 on the round 3 11th hole where I was hitting 3 from 856 yards away... had to ping pong fairways back to the hole and ruined my tourney in the process.
finished the tourney -1 after I was able to rally in round 4 with a -5 to counter round 3. so many wasted chances in rounds 1 and 2, the glitch in round 3 and then finally a solid round in round 4.
finished +1, -1, +4, -5

Played 3 Rds so far, 74, 70 and 72 for even par until this point.
Was absolutely gutted after my last round after missing an eagle putt to put me -5, my downhill 5 yard putt didn't break even though the grid clearly showed a significant right to left break, and I ended up with a bogey and finished the round even par. Having looked at the leaderboard to this point it appears that would have put me in a good position but it wasn't to be.
Feel like I could shoot the last round quite low though and hopefully remove my strike from last week!

I went in the water once so far (2 rounds played) and that was on hole 7. Luckily I did not get a glitch. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there is a way around it from a competition standpoint because you can't let people play a round over again(or even the hole, because even that's iffy... unless someone had it recorded how will you know?)... HB Studios has to act on this tho.

I would lip out birdie putts or better when they should of fallen... or better yet I would run over the cup and it looked like it wasn't even going that fast... I'm 8th place right now at -6. (70, 68)
