  *** THIS ***!!!!! How the hell can the cut be at 57. It should not be an unlimited tournament. The final is limited.  Wait...more money for wgt balls. So we can waste them trying to beat this ridiculous cut. I know i can beat a majority of players who make the cut. They just have time to play it over and over and over and over and over and over...lol you get my point. I win alot of RGS that are limited tournaments...so what the hell!

  The cut is only 58, so relax!  Instead of playing the 2-5 RGs per day that you win a lot of, play the qualifer.   Good luck in your conquest.

  Relax man, WGT already knows who players need a little(or big in some cases)help to pass the cut, be sure about it !!!!

  Maybe you are out of that list.  Any way if you trust, keep on trying and wasting new balls...............maybe.................!!!!!!

  Good luck !!!

  The cut went to 58 ?!
  

  

  Rick, you said it for me. That is exactly where I am in my game. Although the cut is currently 58, I am guessing it will go to 57 or maybe even 56. I threw a 59 at it and it lasted 3 days and went pffffffft !  To shave that last 1 or 2 strokes induces some kind of weird fugue in me...I get to -10 on hole 15 and somehow manage to screw it up!  (Nerves, I suspect)  Grrrrrr !

  Tiffer67 gave me some advice though, think of it in terms of getting 12 birdies....not the 58 score.  I am also trying wearing a garlic necklace and a baseball hat bent up like a rally cap. If I find anything that works, I will pass it on to you my brother.

  This is your problem. Rally caps are turned inside out. You might also try attaching those blue bows you humiliate your Rotty with.  :-D

  I shot a front 9 28 Thursday and fell apart on the back, though in fairness it was only the second time I had played the back 9.  I also must admit to freaking out a little, my previous best 9 being a 29 at SA front 9.  I probably should have saved and settled down, then went back and played the back.  But my thoughts were... hell, I just birdied #6,7,8, and 9.  I wasn't about to stop shooting.

  I looked at the course and determined there are 13 decent birdie holes.  I focus on birdieing those.  7 on the front and 6 on the back.  In my 28 I birdied 6 of the 7.  I missed on #5 but had a cushion from a birdie on #4, #3 and #4 being the two 'par' holes on that side.  Left a birdie putt on #10 3" short, then proceeded to bogey 4 of the next 6 before finishing with two birdies.  So, I have to work on my back 9.  Was the 28 on the front 9 a tease, or an indication I should make a run at it?

  Gonna spend a few days playing the back 9, see if I can get down to 30 or 29, if I can I'll give it a run.

  I seem to suffer from a similar problem. Our CC regularly runs 2 round tourneys, same course, different conditions. The last 2 I've played round 1 really well (front 9 Oakmont in 29, BPB full18 in 62) but then played the second round straight away and been rubbish in comparison, even and -1.

  I swear next time it happens I'll walk away and play round 2 another day.
