Jimbo,

I always wonder why 3 of the 6 golfers that I draft miss the cut!

I shouldn't complain, I've done better the last few weeks.

Even though I missed the cut I still played round 3 conditions, results much like the first two rounds. Was a tale of two sides, front side went well with no bogeys, birdies at 3, 5 and 9 to go out in 33. The second nine had a bad stretch where I bogeyed 5 straight and no birdies on the back nine, b...

2nd round in the books finally, wasn't looking forward to it seeing the Windy conditions. Pulled first drive to the left rough, missed the green and missed a short par putt to start with a bogey, after a 357 yd drive I kept changing clubs before coming up 43 feet short of the pin but I sank the putt...

Another week, another disappointing first round, front nine started with a par, bogey from the sand at #2, bird at #4 and #5, another bogey from the sand at #8 to go out in 36, back nine started with bogey, birdie, bogey, birdie at #15, train slid off the tracks at #17 with a triple bogey from sand ...

Looking at the scores, it appears it's Matty G's world and I'm just glad I get to golf along in it! Final round followed the normal pattern, birdies at 2 and 7 with bogies at 4 and 6 to go out in 35. Back nine first non-par at #13 with a birdie, missed the 18th green to finish with a bogey, final ro...

Went out in the early wave as I barely made the cut. Up and down round as I bogied #1 just can't seem to play this hole, bogeys at #4 and 5 and finished the front nine with birdies at #8 and 9 to go out in 36, bad nine started with missed opportunities as I should have birdied the first 3 holes but ...

Round 2 started out as per usual, found sand front right of the green but still able to make par, 2nd hole more of the same, found sand in front of green couldn't get out the first try and when I did missed the bogey putt for double bogey, missed the green at #4 and made a 54 foot par putt, birdie a...

I don't remember who or which tournament but I had an issue at #14 when I hit my approach under a TV tower and was said to have landed in an unplayable lie and charged a penalty shot for my drop. I would like to file a protest, I don't know how to screenshot it or I would have. Started the round wel...

Yes, Doug the 'steel trees' that I referred to would ricochet the ball either back into the fairway or further into trouble (and would not go through them) if my memory serves. It might have been the first version of Colonial that had that but I can't remember for certain.

Thomas, Thank you for setting up this little tour that we've been doing, it has been very fun playing Links again as I hadn't played it very much the past 3 to 4 years. I started the season frustrated at my early results when I stopped using the challenging settings, after that change I've fared so ...
