Didn’t see this one coming...
In a continuation of my fantastic run of luck, I was attacked by a dog and now have a gaping wound on my wrist, a small fracture right near my carpel tunnel and some nerve damage.. They are leaving it open (Under gauze and bandages) for a week because apparently dog bites get infected.
Thankfully it’s my left hand so if I can Macgyver my controller somehow to use it with one hand I’ll finish this weeks event, if not then it’s a new and special way to DNF.

Went -11, -7 (I think), -5 and -5. Had a nice Rd1 with low winds and stuck it close a number of times. Started to overread most of my putts from Rd2 onwards for some reason. Just reading too much break most of the time and leaving it top side. Rushed last 2 rounds a bit.....got a bit complacent. Anyway, decent sim form this week after a -40 on TST. Note to myself...."NO RED WINE BEFORE TEEING OFF". Cheers I'll chip in for a bottle if it gets the rest of us a slim chance. |

Can’t blame it on the dog bite,
Can’t blame it on the XBox,
Can’t blame it on the bad hand,
Gotta blame it on the putting.
-11 thru 2, same as I was after 17 ☹️

A pretty good start for me, and yet I come away feeling very frustrated 🙄 probably need an attitude adjustment. Not philosophical enough today.
First round too many mistakes, still managed to be at -6 coming to the 17th, double bogie (didn't go in the water.)
Second round, just an insane amount of burned edges, what you gonna do?
Had fasts and slows when I didn't want them, and no fast when I did want it, so many times.
-12 after two rounds.

I think your second round was better than you think, will see when the results are up but I think you’ll have improved position. You nailed me on the last round last week when I played oblivious to my position in the field and played careless - I’ve got revenge on the agenda lol... Edit - Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope!!! Had a decent front 9 at -4, then had all sorts of strange lighting strike lines on the back 9. Even shut everything down and restarted after the double bogey 7 on 11 or 12. Bogeyed the other par 5 as well but that was bad putting more than anything. -1 third round. -12 thru 3. SHITFUCK!!! |

I was 4 ahead of you after hole 10 of my 3rd round. If your maths is any good, you can probably tell I didn't do too great from that point on... |

Still plenty of time for either one of us to turn it round 👍 |

ray wow man, I hope you heal quickly and hope the best for you!
As for the golf round....
I love Sawgrass. Usually do good here. But the last 4-5 holes are getting me. Seriously, if you take away the last four holes of each round, my total match score through 3 is ten or more strokes better! lol

Round 3. Two different societies, both with rain! I do not like the rain, when it comes to my pixel golf the rain can remain on the plain in Spain. (it does not effect my gameplay, just gets in my head where there is no room). Did manage a decent round tho:  |

(it does not effect my gameplay, just gets in my head where there is no room). Did manage a decent round tho: It does effect the gameplay if we adjust the conditions to match it, softens up the course and slows the fairways and greens down. Anyway nobody likes rain irl so we shouldn't here, also an excuse for slower greens and I have heard it can rain in Florida sometimes  |
