Hey Pinseeker & Doug,
Can I catch a ride with you to Copperhead?
Round 2 went pretty much like my whole season so far, played M/F but not challenging, if I had I might not have broke 100! Snap hook off the tee at #2 into trees, OB, sand and finally got off the hole with a 10!, 3 putt bogey on 8 to go out in 42, bogey at 11, kept missing birdie putts by less than 1 foot, got to #17 waited for wind to die down just a little bit, hit 8 iron to 17 feet, rapped the putt up the hill into the hole for birdie, finished with 36 on the back nine for a 6 over par 78, 74-78=+8 missed the cut. Hit 9 fairways, 10 greens, 31 putts.
Jim

Pinseeker said he'll drive; I went overboard drowning my sorrows...

Thanks guys! But Shane Lowry caught me before I left and we stayed up late with a bunch of Guinness, never again, I swear!

OK, I lied. Although I said that I would leave this course in my rear view mirror, I am stubborn. I decided to get the pro distance mod and was able to get it to work with some help from Gator because of my faulty computer literacy.

After fooling around with it a bit, I decided to replay (and record) round two using the conditions set forth by SCG. I shot a 68!
Now, to be honest, there was some luck involved. I slammed an 11-footer in for bird on that ugly hole 3 pin position (miss that, and I'm probably headed for a 6) and made another tricky 11-footer for par on 4 after plugging my drive in a fairway bunker and having to pitch out. But with the added distance I was near or on all the part 5s in two and birdied all of them.
I don't know how to convert the Links .rec file to post on you tube so am unable to share. But it is a lot of fun to hit clubs so much farther.

Very cool, Good round Doug. I only use the Pro Mod for my driver and 3w. I can't use it on my other clubs, it messes with my distance control.

On Recording game. I have Win 11. In my Settings is a section called Gaming and there is a screen capturing program. I'll record my round, then edit it with and old school windows Movie Maker (any video editing will work). From there I upload to my YouTube site.

I don't remember how I got where I woke up after drinking Guinness with Shane Lowry, since I missed the ride with Pinseeker and Doug, I played Sawgrass with the weekend conditions and fared a little better. In the round 3 conditions I went out in 33 and came back in 36 for a 3 under 69. The round 4 conditions were a little easier as I eagled #2 and #16, but a couple of loose approach shots yielded bunkers and bogies, went out in 35 and came in 35 for a 2 under par 70.
Onto Innisbrook.
