Thanks to the round reset glitch I lost a 62 (-10) on the first round and will have to submit a 66 (-6) since I wasn't focused at all on the 2nd round 1 I was playing. Can't wait for those four strokes to cost me my promotion... Hope they can give you that 62!

Every week we see someone complaining about the course. You know the person that picks the courses has been very open on the challenge circuit forums and has made a number of threads asking about suggestions on what courses to play and yet not many seem to take part in these posts. Even if you have no suggestion, play some of the courses that have been mentioned by others and leave some feed back about those courses. We all have courses we like and dislike but we are all part of the same community and if you want it to improve, take part in these threads instead of just complaining about a course. I got demoted this week, it had nothing to do with the course, it was all down to how I played the course. I have shot both 10 under and 10 over on the challenge circuit, both scores were down to me, not the course. Yes some courses play harder than others and that's the challenge. While I loved Mistwood, playing mistwood style courses every week would be pretty boring. I always think easier courses make it harder to get promoted since so little mistake are made by the better players. On a course that's tougher, everyone can mess up. I for one, think the person picking the courses has been doing a great job, a damn hard job with so many people to keep happy. They has been variety to test players of all levels on the challenge circuit, there has been courses where it was easy to score low for all levels of the challenge circuit but more importantly, he talks to us, so talk back to him. Explain why you did not like a course, explain what you would like to see in a course. The more that talk, the better this tour can get.

Yep, agree. You can't please everyone with every course. Just like IRL, every course is different and you have to adjust your game. Sometimes it may just not be your week, move on to the next one.

Can't wait for those four strokes to cost me my promotion... Wonder wat the protocol is for this. I always take a screenshot of every rnd score jus incase this happens....not sure if its any use tho. The protocol is that the first score doesn't count. I have to submit the 66. The scorecard was pretty too. 9 birdies, 1 eagle, and 1 bogie. All for nothing though.

Well, I played terribly in my opinion. I had multiple bogeys due to chips that ended up going 10' past the hole and an insane # of lip outs. It was poor putting after poor putting. I'd be interested to see if I made a putt longer than 8'. I think I used up all my good putts on that -10 that doesn't count. 66,66,65,64 for -27. I really thought that I'd have a chance of getting -40 entering this (and I do think that some people will), but after that stupid bug I really feel like I just played without giving a sh%$. That's on me. Probably back to CC-C.
On another note, I actually really like the course. I don't like some of the pin positions and specific holes, but I like the course.

Well my first effort at getting into CC-B was a real fail.
Hopefully I perform better this week. Appreciate the kind words folks.

Well done TG, pleased to hear you got your card. You've played well lately, fully deserved. I'm looking forward to this one, nice to have a few pals on the same circuit for a bit of friendly rivalry. All the best to you this week Terry and a special mention to my practice pals Kenny and Dan. Hopefully I can play well enough to stick around with you guys!

Ill start off by saying I absolutely love this golf course.. Beautiful and it has some great design skills... I didn't play my best by no means but finished under par every round..... I missed a good bit of short putts, and I went into 18 on round one -5 and lipped out a short putt for par, had a one foot putt when I needed a two footer for bogie and doubled the last... DANG IT! ha
Round 1: 69 (-3) Round 2: 66 (-6) Round 3: 68 (-4) Round 4: 69 (-3)
Overall -16
Left way too many out there.... Hope its decent enough not to get a strike...
Good luck gang.. . Great course...
