same score for me. R3 had a bit of a mare in 17+ winds.
Round 3 could have been a -8 for me but lipped out two 6 footers for birdie on the back nine. I really liked this course. Next weeks will be fun. Isle is tough with not a straight putt to be had anywhere LOL oh god I haven't even played that course yet

Nicely played BigTallChris! I followed your ghost the first 2 rounds. Some REALLY low scores given the conditions! Started strongly with 5 straight birdies but then everything fizzled out and finished -4. 2nd round was better - birdie fest with low winds. Finished -12. Watched the ghosts tee off straight into the water 3rd round!! Fluffed an 88% shot off tee into heavy rough and bogeyed the hole. Think I packed it in at 9 after a 95% shot left me short of green! You put together a couple of solid, good rounds! Well done Thanks cool79breeze! For the first two rounds, I was nailing my approach shots, leaving myself very easy birdie putts. I finished up the first round by getting nine straight birdies - every hole on the back nine. Probably the most birdies in a row ever for me. That play continued through the 2nd round. The "medium" speed greens are the easiest for me to judge the break, and most of the pin placements were either on no slope or very easy slopes.....and yes, there are a couple of holes where it looks like there is no break, but actually there's a slight one, and a straight putt will be a miss. For what appear to be straight putts, I look at the break after the hole sometimes, which can help to judge if it actually is a straight putt. R1 = 61 (-11) R2 = 61 (-11) I'll probably be the tourney leader after round two (at the time I played, I was in the lead on PS4 after two rounds), but..... Then round 3 is where it all fell apart! As you said, my first hole "tee off [went] straight into the water 3rd round!!" I overthought the shot.....had it lined up hard left to let the wind carry it to the right, and then for some reason, I added a bit of a slice so it would go with the direction of the fairway. Dumb mistake! That bit of a slice was just enough to make the first shot of round three go into the drink.....dropped in the rough, and battled for a double-bogey to start the round. Ended up spending the entire third round scrambling, ended up back at even par. Nothing extraordinary about my fourth round, ended it at -8. I know that's a good round score, but it felt a little disappointing after shooting so well in the first two rounds and knowing everyone else would be getting extremely low scores also. R3 = 72 (E) R4 = 64 (-8) Total = 258 (-30)At the time I finished the tourney on PS4 (late Saturday night/early Sunday morning), I was in third place. There's probably a couple of others that have finished ahead of me since then. My guess is that my 3rd and 4th round "very good but not great" scores cost me the tourney championship, but I'm still hoping for a top-5 finish. You beat me bud. I don't know whether it was the course or my controller but couldn't hit 100% for sh*t! Nice course. Left so many putts short it hurt. Fingers crossed for you

What was the name of your new course I'll give it a blast tonight. Burberry Black. Hope you enjoy! Great Course some detail gone into it. Enjoyed the first 14 holes then got lazy didn't check out the green on 15 and ended up with an 8. Well designed green completely my fault for the score. Hopefully gets approved!

Yeah I tried making 15 play tougher than the rest so you have to be on point to avoid a late bogey or in your case a snowman lol! Thanks again for playing.

Finished at -29.. Not going to lie I was not a fan of this course. Even though my score somewhat says otherwise. I think it was mostly my putts not breaking how I usually feel like they break. Might have been the speed being/feeling slower? I left so many uphill putts way short and over played so many breaks! Next week will be great haha

Next week will be great haha Totally with you Jordan, really struggled on these greens (last few tourneys I've been near the top in putts per hole... this one near the bottom). Was hoping to be able to stick up with you guys in A, but I don't think -26 will be able to do it.
I also would have liked to see a bit more risk/reward holes... felt like the drive was pretty much automatic on every hole, and the scoring was just on how close you could nail your approach to get the bird. A few of the holes had some options, but I think the wind ended up making them not an option (thinking of the one par 5 where you could hit to the skinny peninsula fairway, but with the wind you couldn't really make it).

My guess is that my 3rd and 4th round "very good but not great" scores cost me the tourney championship, but I'm still hoping for a top-5 finish. Not even friggin' close! Some really low scores coming in for round two! What was I thinking.....I'm barely in top-5 now and probably won't even finish top-10. Good low scores, guys and gals!

Moonlighting this week on the Web. It will be a short stay. I just sent my PS4 to Sony today for repairs, so who knows when I will be back. Good luck to everyone this week.

played 4 practice rounds and learned the course and how it putted at least it was the same every time just like the tournament so practice does help it was a good course. still hate the wind, and the cross wind is still killing my game hope to be back up here in CC-a next week just had a bad round on the 4th only shot -5. should have been better.

The last 3 weeks I have been going in blind and that really does mess with you when it come to putting. I usually dont hit the ball in the same spot either so the practice helps get a feel for the greens. 1 to 2 rounds is usually enough for me to start scoring better, which has happened to me the last 3 weeks. poor 1 and 2 and a lot better 3 and 4.

Man yall are throwing up some low scores this week. I'm glad I get to miss a strike while playing up this week. I've never done well when I had to go 8 to 10 under every round. There are around 25 CC-B guys up on exemption this week. That is crazy.

CC-B was 15 on exemption from CC-C with 7 within 10 shots of exemption leader.

I somehow did good enough while on exemption to the Web last week to earn my tour card. A lot of the ones still here are better than me, so I know you will be joining me soon. Good luck to all as the first season winds down and I will be seeing you soon. Thanks for a fun nine weeks on CC-A.
