Extrapolating a bit here but it looks like the course is playing tough. If the afternoon groups play the same or worse than the morning groups we should be in fairly good shape after round 1.

We need to step it up to make the team event. Digging a big hole to be able to make it.
Did I misread or misinterpret the link in rower's thread? Or is it not very current? From that link I concluded what i said in my above post given the later scores prove about the same as the early scores.

Not sure about that. Lots of teams still on the course and most are losing strokes to par the longer they are out. Won’t have much of an idea until the round is over.

This. We’re steadily moving on up as other teams get deeper into their rounds. Already up to T-20 and wouldn’t be surprised if we finish the day T-15 with 5 teams left on the course 3 or fewer strokes better than us.

It's very early in day 2 but it looks like (thanks for the link @gtrower) the top teams that are on the course are off to good starts (under par). If this stands, Tech has a lot of work to do on moving day.

I’m just guessing here but they play 54 holes to get to 15 on Sunday, another round to get to 8 on Monday? Tuesday then would be 36 holes match play & Wednesday is 18 holes for the Champ?

Well, we are just getting started but have gained tons of ground by not playing, meaning most teams have backed up. We don't have to go real low today thank goodness, just a score around par or 1or 2 under will leave us in pretty good shape (as things stand now). Of course, looking at the teams who are in the clubhouse today, that would indeed be a good score. This is not a birdie-fest type tournament from the looks of things.

Currently alone in 8th, 2 strokes clear of 9th. But a lot of golf left to play - about 6 holes.

We’re EVEN on the day, while most teams behind us are +5 - +7. So we’re not safe until everyone is off the damn course! It’s tough out there today.

Well, we got to 2-under and 7th place. Then, and this isn’t a typo, we had our typical crash at the very end. We played the final 4 holes +10. Not a typo. Total collapse at the end yet again. Dropped 6 spots down to 13th place.

Likely need to shoot within 1-2 strokes of par as a team today to move up 6 strokes. Anything can happen on a course where only like 1 team is under par. We don’t have a single player under par, so not sure we can do it. What I’m hoping for is a +5 day or so but where other teams crack under pressure.

Well, they are off (just barely). They are going off on the back which is the side they had their meltdown on yesterday. Don't know if that is good or bad for them. Something tells me that +5 is not going to move them on. I think they have to be at par or better for the day. Currently 1 under after just a few.

The link above in rower's post says the top 15 advance. Someone else said it was the top 8. Can anyone clarify?
