Geez - played my first round today and the GHOST all had MUCH better wind then I did. While I was battling a 20mpg breeze off the ocean the GHOSTs were playing in 5mph. sigh. Had a couple 3 putts from 5 feet which hurts!

I have used all three sets since the release of the game and have settled in with player. I like the tour when I am hitting them good, but sometimes the bounce and run in the fairway with those is very unpredictable. I have hit center fairway 3 or 4 times (not many of all the tee shots I've made) and the ball bounced radically sideways and ended up in the first cut or rough; this being with tour clubs and 2 of those on what appeared to be flat fairway. I don't have a great memory but those stand out in my mind because I thought how unfair that is to be penalized for a good shot. Until I am required to do otherwise, I will be hitting player clubs.
Truly enjoying playing in the tour and love the first 2 courses selected for play. Shot -1, -1; hope I am not stuck on that number, lol. of course I could shoot worse.

I must have started after Round 2. Yes Rod but you can still score points - something to aim for.

Did pretty well on event (#3). -11. As of 10pm EST I was at the top of the PC leaderboard at least. Started off really fast at -7 after 9, then darned near blew it in the last 5 holes. Started slicing and fast/slow swinging all over the place. Luckily I kept it together and scored an eagle on the last hole. I use Tour clubs in every event, and do NOT and will not use the "change clubs during round" cheat...
Peter - when I looked at your spreadsheet for event #2 thought for a minute you did not pick up my scores at all. I was sitting 5th on the PC leaderboard with a 65. Then it dawned on me that at least 5 other people from PS4/XB1 platforms beat that score. LOL. So hoping for event #3 I at least end up in the top 10 after all the scores are tallied from the Console cheaters - dang them all! JUST KIDDING!!
Thanks to everyone for making this society a success so far. Peter, Sam and the rest...

Probably not a popular request, but I would like to know what players are using tour clubs so I could gauge my progress against yours. At this point, I am not worrying too much about scores I shoot. but my progression.(which is wildly inconsistent) Currently, I am making too many double bogies to score well. Would love to hear what you are struggling with the most and what you have 'figured out'! Thanks. My main problem is not hitting the fairway off the tee. Hitting from the rough in this game is crazy.
I really don't think I will be ready for the Web tour when it resumes.

Bill, I'm using tour clubs and wildly inconsistent. Xbox btw. I'm a solid cc-c. Shot 2 under at turberry with some great scrambling. 3 rounds into the current cc-c summer break. Omg +1, +10, +7, Really struggling with both tempo and direction. Will stick with tour clubs though. Breaking par is a real challenge for me

I am totally new on here,didn't play tgc1,was still enjoying TW14 with the diagonal swing.Didnt think I would be able to go back to straight up & down swing,it just looked way too easy on tgc1.So anyway when I finally got a PS4 & saw there was a tgc2 coming out with changes to swing mechanics I thought I would give it a go & am very glad I did.Love playing the game with tour clubs it is a real learning process.I am a 10 handicap player IRL & can really appreciate how you can suddenly lose your swing even when things have been going well.I joined "sons of pitches society last night & played the event at Troon north.Looking forward to playing plenty more & also getting tour card when q-school returns,I am by the way 53 yrs young,cheers.

Welcome on board Mark, I am also a 10 hcp in real life. My tgc2 scores are mostly mirroring my rubbish actual play lol. Was averaging I'd say about -6 in tgc1, now probably north of +6 on tgc2

Was averaging I'd say about -6 in tgc1, now probably north of +6 on tgc2 Thanks Dave,yes I think at the moment any score around par is good especially with tour clubs. I like that everyone can't immediately go & shoot in the low 60's or even less.Looking at the ridiculously low scoring in TGC1 is what put me off getting the game.I know plenty of people will still probably get back to those scores,but maybe it won't quite be the norm.I'll be quite happy just to shoot realistic golf scores & just enjoy,cheers πποΈ
