Well, after what felt like a poor showing in the first 3 rounds, I think i will miss the cut by a couple of strokes. -13 through 2. Round 1, had 7 or 8 birdies, which felt good, but also had 3 or 4 bogies, which did not feel good. Round 2, I failed to take advantage of the softer settings and left myself with longer putts than I wanted. Round 3, will be a disaster for everyone I think, front nine is gusty and then it slowly tappers off on the back nine, so max firm + gusty makes for a difficult round. I feel I shot better here than the easier round 1 which is same settings but less windy. Round 4, was lights out the first 5 holes, with a birdie on all 5 of them, 2 holes later another birdie, so -6 through 7, ended the front nine -6. Back nine was another story, I did have 3 birdies on the back, but add in 2 stupid bogies and my back nine only netted -1, so -7 it was for the round. overall, this was my best round. would have been much sweeter if i didnt get those bogies. my predictions: -14 will be cut. -33 will be the winning score. -30 will round out the top 5 -25 will round out the top 25 the bulk of your scoring will come in round 2.

Another week on the Euro tour, another total BS course because of the greens.
Yes this might be a bit more of a challenge to the handful of people that practise a dozen or more times prior to the tournament starting, but for us more "normal" people this is just a waste of time.
In future, please remember us people who don't have time to play the game a million times to find the one place, the size of a small coin, where you need to try to land the ball on to get anywhere within 25 feet of the hole, especially without lofting ridiculously as well.
And a concession of one round slightly less ridiculous, doesn't make up for anything.

my predictions: -14 will be cut. Are you on glue?! The cut will be nowhere near that!

I expect about 40-45 under to win personally. Need your fair share of luck with bounces on this one though. Could be draining if your on the wrong side of them.

Well what a difference a day makes!! +1 first round with some silly bogies then after the downpour overnight -13 2nd round ... hoping -12 will be good enough to make the cut on my first week as a fully fledged euro tour member ... we'll see

A 66 (-4) first round with a bogey on the #17 PAR 5 makes me literally wanna throw up in regard to how I managed a couple of shots Could easily be a more safer -6/-7. I think we'll see more than a few guys going ten and maybe slightly more under on R1. If you are on PS4 don't even bother with my ghost....I should really feel ashamed... I think the cut will be around eight or ten under.

I just hope I dont miss cut by 2 strokes....
Was sitting in my chair with my legs up and went to sit up for my putt on hole 2 first round and flicked the stick that was caught at the bottom of my pajama pants resulting in a 85% or so power putt and a double bogey..
+1 Rd 1 -8 Rd 2
Probably a 4th straight missed cut.. I suck suddenly.

Hey all. I'm over here for the next two weeks. Simply can't pass up these Yeltzman Open RCRs. I hit my drive on 1st hole because I was hoping to see higher winds on an Open setup but it was low. Glad to hear it does kick up at some point. Have practiced the 3 non-rainy setups but have yet to play through the Friday setup yet in practice.

I will most likely be on exemption here this week. Tough first round for me. Hopefully I did enough for a card.
-1 -9
Sitting at -10
