30 people at 64 or under as of now, more than a month to go.
Could be 65, we'll know more after one more week.
64!!!??? ... 64!!!??? ...
I'm stuck @ 74!... Three consecutive rounds of 74 after one @ 75, as a matter of fact! Furthermore... each of those 74's was built with two 37's! Shooting those six consecutive 37's has me feeling like I'm stuck in a "Groundhog Day" scenario!
Looks like I'll not make it into my "neighborhood" virtual course's playing field, just as I've never had the opportunity to play OCC IRL. :(
Oh... I'll keep trying, but if I don't soon "get the feel" of my putter on those greased lightning greens, I'll surely not make the cut. My drives (after I swapped-out my new SuperTri for my more accurate Ping 8.0) are on the money... my approach shots are mostly inside 3-4 yds, leaving me with alot of birdie chances, but 2- and 3-putting has been the order of the day for me. It seems that just as I start to get the feel for these super-slick griddle-greens, my birds (and even an eagle) fall out of the pan and into the fire - only to be followed-up with double and triple bogeys.
A couple of my 37's even contained 3-4 birds, but GIR's certainly haven't been a help for a sub-par round with these wildly-undulating dancefloors.
I'm HOPING the cut-off will be no lower than 66... I unfortunately clicked the "LEADERBOARD" in the menu @ the first tee of one round, and had the "69 Cutoff Graphic" staring me in the face (overlaid on every window) for the whole round... a weird bug that added insult to injury...
Despite my frustration, I AM enjoying the challenge, and I'm anxiously awaiting my own "Ahaaa! moment" that could bring with it a recipe for success.
