  I don't see myself getting there.  I've gone sub 60 before sure, but I just don't see a 54/5 in my future.  That's just too many putts to make considering how inconsistent I am at that part of the game.  

  edit: Now that I look there are 52's being posted now -- cut might be 53/4 before long considering how much time there is to qualify.  The lowest I've ever gone is 55 from the red tees.  Yep...not happenin' for me -- unless I can get lucky with a couple of hole outs in that 1 miracle round. 

  Dont feel bad I shot a 58 1 off the cut which is -14 under par . That -20 would be 16 birdies and 2 eagles . But at the same time thats just for now . Come the actual Open final round and those same players maybe in the bottom of the field . Just because they got hot right now they may be cold as ice when they really need that kind of round .

  got my best front 9 of -6. Hopelly I can get it going to double digits. I am starting to know the course and damn near birdied two of the ones I missed and a hair from getting an eagle. Could have easily been -9 for the front nine. I don't score as well on the back. I am going to give it hell to try. Lol. 

   

  Edited to add. I got a -10. Pretty happy with my improvement in just a couple days! I have it with in reach I think!

  Nice round Dark. 62   My best is 61 so far.

  Don't want to put a damper on your good round, but you'll probably have to shave 8 more strokes to 54 to qualify.  55 MIGHT do it, but to be save 54 is probably the number.

  I'm pretty sure given the time to qualify I'll break 60, but 54...?  Like I said, unless I hole out or my putter gets real hot I don't see it happening.  It all has to happen in the same round too.

  All we can do is try. I am making notes on each hole and zeroing in on the hole pretty good. Really getting in the groove with my putting on this course and speed. My biggest problem is hitting the ding or near it. Pretty much if I miss it by too much there goes my birdy opportunity on that hole. Kids and wife buzzing around me probably cost me a shot or two also. If I play when everyone else is sleeping I might fare better. Lol. Good luck and check in with your progress.

  darktone,

  I'm not sure you'll benefit from it being a mobile player that much. But If you can find a pc, or mac you need to find the desktop version of website. Login and then send a friend invite. I will send you link to file.
