  I was waiting for a tourneament 4 days...18 holes and single play...for years.....now i love The King s   Cup.

  I did my usual rounds at Pebble and Beth...but i did bad rounds Kiawah and Pinehurst....i try top 70 all weeks...and i got it 2 or 3 times..but this week...difficult for me.

  Way to go,  Brett!  I'm also really enjoying the King's Cup tournament.  For a run of the mill player like myself the challenge to put together four good rounds of single play gets the adrenaline flowing.  So far I've managed a couple of top 70 finishes making me feel good running with the big dogs. 

  I'm afraid it's not going to happen this week.  After a good start both Kiawah and Pinehurst got me.  My game was pretty good but just couldn't score.  It's frustrating to hit fairways and greens, even getting heartbeat approaches then missing the @#%#& putt.  At least I laugh a lot and, indeed I'm missing closer. 

  This is a great format and I hope it remains. 

  Have fun and hit em straight, 

  John

  It will show up with the other weekly tournaments on Thursdays. It only lasts for 4 days. You have 24 hours to play each of the 18-hole single play rounds. Each round is on a different course. They have had it almost every week for the past couple months. So look for it first thing Thursday. I think it's a 5 credit entry and they have a payout to the top 70 just like typical WGT tournaments.

  OK thanks Brett. I'm not worried about winning credits....I'm not good enough for that. I usually try to play a few of the weeklies but haven't had time the last little while and never noticed the Kings Cup.

  Glad round 3 is done with. 🤣🤣🤣 Had 7 birds and 3 bogeys with that crazy wind. I should be happy but I couldn't hit the greens close enough to the pin and with my putting that's not good. 🙄🙄🙄 Usually play the high winds better than what I did this round. Looking forward to round 4. Good luck to everyone else rest of the way. Have fun is the most important. Cheers.
