Anyone come up with a solution to the 5th society bug yet? Please post when/if you do. firstblitzer, you'll have to approve me again as I tried to back out/rejoin to see if it would except the fee. Come on HB, 5 societies my ass!!! ...........alright I'm calm Btw, I'm all about tour club competition, win lose or draw. Just wanting to see scoring resemble RL as much as possible!

How long is the current event on for? I might not get a chance to play until Tuesday so might have to make my bow in the next one. Only saying in case you wonder why I haven't played, I like the sound of this Society and the people that have joined it. I'll see if I can point a few like minded people this way Just fired it up to finish my round 1. Looks like 7/12 and I believe I saw Doyley say somewhere 8:00 UTC Time. BTW, anybody get soap? Don't know how many baths I took on the back 9. Developed a case of the yips and shanks big time. Guess that is what I get for trying to squeeze in a round by avoiding yard work.

Loved this tournament. -3 after 11 in Round 1 (hey, this is easy - why has everyone struggled?!), then with the water on the short 12th, I lost my swing and splash - a double. +1 after 17, but ended up E.
Very happy with round 2 though - a 65 (I think! Or 66), and top of the leaderboard for now.
This sort of course is perfect for the Tour swing. Plenty of water to scare the crap out of you!

I knew this was going to happen. I'm full up on societies and don't feel like I can leave any. I like the idea of tour only too.
Such a stupid thing to limit to 5 (really 4 if you plan to plat TGCT events)

I like to use the word short sighted. But yeah, especially with the pain it seems of adding that 5th society too. Although, in my case I really don't have a lot of time so 5 actually 6 would be good for me which is probably why it doesn't annoy me as much.
Yes, I did enjoy the course as well and thought it was well laid out as well. My tour club tendency is to draw/hook and some of the tight tree lined fairways of the holes were not very conducive to a draw. It did get me to try a few different shot combinations though. Thhough they didn't turn out very well either. Took R1 as a learning process.
I think on one of the last three holes (can't remember which) I did pull a McAvoy because I just knew I could hit that shot. Think I dumped 3 in the water from two different locations.

I was even through the front 9, but bombed the back 9. One hole, I believe it was 14, had that tricky pin location right next to a huge slope. I played it all wrong and kept wacking it back and forth past the hole. Then there was the late par 5 with the tree in the fairway. My tee shot rolled further than I wanted and I ended up in the water three times, trying to get around that tree to the green. I will be much more careful next round.

firstblitzer It said I was approved, but I've gone in to play and it said I wasn't a member! 5th Society syndrome. I've cancelled the request and put it back in again.

I was in the same boat even after attempt 2 - it was telling me my Societies were full. I've done it by leaving the TGCT tour I was in, then paid my entry fee for this one, and then I've rejoined the TGCT one with no problem. Maybe it's something to do with paying a fee? Anyway, seems to have worked for now.

That is a good thought. I was thinking might also have to do with pending approvals on your list or something as well. Something along the lines were the system still thinks you have a pending approval until the servers sync up or something. Just spitballing possible causes currently so I would never state it as a fact. But, It is probably definitely tied into one of these two things though but I haven't tried to join a society yet that had a fee but an approval wasn't needed? Anyone try that yet?
It also appears to be more common as well. As I have seen other posts in other societies about having the same issue, but they were setup the same way as well so unable to make a determination on that.

But hopefully another lil' thing HB will iron out in time!

Dunholme chewed me up and spat me out in Q-School, no change here! Not sure I can go through four more rounds of that on the Euro event this week! Next time I play the 17th I'll just take my swimming shorts with me.
