I don't know how much longer I will be playing the Challenge mode. Any green with any back to front slope is a par or bogie. You can hit way past the hole and the ball still sucks back over 20 feet and then the putt back up the hill in challenge is stupid. You have to hit the ball way to hard to barely reach the hole. Any 4 or 5 foot putt on a steeply break you have to either go for it and have a 10 footer coming back after you miss or maybe it goes in. If it doesn't lip out and go 5 feet down the hill.

Ok, done venting. Maybe see you for rd 2. A double boogie killed my rd after a ball bouncing over the green and OB.

Funny, you beat me by 2 strokes on Carey Park and I can't imagine a course that has more back to front greens. It's about the only break there are in those greens with the exception of a few holes.

Hey, don't mind me. That double boogie just got me mad. I should have known better than to fire at that sucker pin on the far left. I had been missing my snap just early most of the round and when I did it there again it costed me. I used to only play Elite for a long time and pars were a good score on a lot of holes. It's a grind some times in Pro knowing that if you make a par someone is going to run you over on the leaderboard. I just have to get my head on right and have some fun. See you out there....

Never had so many birdie putts slide by in my life... plus two errant tee shots that went into the drop area. RATS!

Harpo you're killing me. I hit plenty of greens but they're too roly-poly for me. Couldn't make anything.

Seemed to hit the ball on the right side of the hole in rd 3 and 4. Plus a couple lucky shots helped. Yea, I missed a few straight in putts that you know as soon as you miss that 6 snap.

Now wait to see who else joins in.

Well, Harpo, I could never have caught you but I would have matched your final round had I not tried to hook it around the tree on #10 (triple). I did counter with a more than legitimate ACE on #7.

Nice Ace. Had one in the second round. I wonder if it was the first of the season? Naaa, those ammy boys get one every round don't they... j/k

Yea, 10 and 16 I always use 3W off the tee and take the longer club in on 10.

I see Doug had a good rd going up until the last few holes. 18 can be trouble if you don't hit the fairway. I was in the trap the last two rds but somehow didn't boogie that hole.

Thought I would give it
a try. I played quite well. Surprised
my self. Then holes 16 an 18 the
tee shots weren't that bad.
But, it said drop or rehit. Went
downhill from there.
But. I really had fun.

FedEx Cup standings after Champ, Fortinet (Challenging)

Does this week count towards FedEx Cup points?

Here is the Pro Point Standing. Don't know how long I will be keeping this up but will try.

Will maybe start a new post when I add in the next event. This may help one think about finishing the tourney then bailing out?

I could because we're playing stroke play but since the real President's Cup doesn't we'll skip this week.
