Round 1 - Let me start off by saying I've had some experience here at Reverand, I wouldn't say I frequent it, but It has been a favorite of mine that I go back to every now and then. with that being said, I've never played it with our restrictions and under this kind of pressure. So on to my round, I knew I needed to play within myself and not be too aggressive, especially with approach shots, these greens have many undulations and if the greens speed up beware of challenging collection areas or deep bunkers. I was swinging well and able to hit spots I wanted, the soft slow greens really helped take break and roll out. I'm confident going into round 2 but I know this course can play completely different so I'm keeping my optimism in check.  Jarred you are fitting in well and you have true understanding of this tour - nice to see sir. I made you an avatar if you want to use it

Round 11. What a fantastic course!! I'm not surprised it's one of Jared's favourites, it's absolutely stunning! 2. Did I ever mention I hate putting on Very Fast greens? Well now I've decided I don't like putting on Slow greens either. 3. Bagged a great eagle on #5, then made an idiotic decision on #7 that cost me 3 strokes. The rest of the round was up and down as usual, but managed to finish on a high by birdying #18. The next 3 rounds will be very, very interesting...

round 2 - a beautiful calm day certainly helped today, made club decisions a lot easier. overall I'm very happy with the results. I could have shaved a few more strokes with putting but I'll call it a wash because I sank a few that I had no business making lol. the clean card continues to elude me despite playing very well. I feel great at the half way mark, but I have a feeling weather and the course are only going to get tougher.
and altaedm.. Idk why you get a completely different golfer as my avatar. but this is my actual in-game avatar. and this is what I see as yours, is that correct?

Round 1. I couldn't have got off to a better start then a very slow on 6 brought me back to earth getting a triple, fired back with 2 birds in next 3 to reach turn at -4. Got into par rut on back 9 missing a lot of putts for birds as usual. What started out a promising start ended up a damp squib.  |

LMAO I didn't know mobility aids were available to unlock in game! so your saying that is not your created avatar? I've always seen some wild avatars and feel bad if someone really did look like that haha.
Round 3- I couldn't help myself to play another round today, I won't be available tomorrow so I figured why not, lets keep the hot streak going! well I'm speechless.... the front went better than I thought it would have considering I got into some bad positions and had to buckle down around the green. That got magnified on #10 and had to settle for the bogey.. but all that focus really got me dialed in for the back. I honestly didn't know how well I was shooting after that bogey, It definitely didn't feel like I was -7 for the last 8 holes. Idk how to explain it, I suppose everything was just going my way. Still have plenty of work to do, today was great but the next round is a clean slate.

Round 2Well, this is what can happen when I get my new swing timing working. Missed at least 4 holeable birdie putts too, but I shouldn't be greedy. Started ok then had some good fortune with my approaches on #5 and #6 (about time I had some luck with this game LOL). Finished the front in a state of shock and was just waiting for the bubble to burst, but I kept playing my shots. Putted quite well but my driving got a little ragged near the end. Then a wayward approach to #16 cost me a shot, only for me to get it back on #18. Why can't I play like this all the time...?!
