Finished +10 for the tourney at Tinn Cup. I got to go back to the drawing board my game is even worse now. I'll just keep playing.

Ah well it was good while it lasted. -2 final round leaves me at -21 in CC-D, inconsistent round which I shot 5 birdies and 3 bogies. I doubt I've done enough to earn an exemption just gotta hope the rest of the players have trouble with the wind.
I played a PR on next week's course and apparently I shot -10 although I thought it was -9. A nice course next week and I think it'll be a tough tournament. I didn't play the Pro course as I didn't want to jinx myself.
Anyway the chat down here is better so I'd rather stay here, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Had a bit of a break as was on holiday so missed two weeks and thought I would be rusty but after four rounds -21 and currently in exemption so hopefully stays this way :-) Then I can come back down to earth with a bump))
Good luck to you all!

My second tournament and I shot 77-69-77-74.
I really enjoyed the rounds and the good thing is I can almost always see what I did wrong.
I like just looking at a shot and hitting it and not spending too much time preparing shots. I know that means that I'm never going to shoot low but that's how I like to play and it's great that this game allows me to do that without scoring really ridiculously badly.
I'm struggling on the greens but I can see why. I'm OK at judging distance. I'm getting better at being very very gentle with downhill putts. With more practice and more rounds I think I'll get better at 8ft to 20ft putts on significant slopes.
I used to play JN6 years and years ago and would be diligent about counting notches, markings and clicks on greens and on lies to try and get shots right. The big difference I find with this game is that even if I did that, I don't think I'd be that much better because you still need to execute the shot well even with a perfect set up.
That means I feel more like I'm "playing golf" and less like I'm pressing buttons and waggling sticks.
I think I need to employ a different strategy to get a little better. I'm bad at hitting anything other than 100% shots and I haven't got to grips with pitching and chipping or with the loft meter.
I think I'd score lower leaving myself 120 - 140 yards from the pin rather than 70 - 100. I have all the wedges in the bag but I can't seem to get consistent results with them.
I think the way these competitions are set up is excellent. I am mildly competitive and I want to get better at the game but I don't want to get obsessive about it. It's also been good to find other xbox players for ghost rounds. I've played against Pat (Celtic Wolf) and XBoxJonnyUK already and learnt a few things doing that. Good luck to you both in CC-C next week. I'll be watching out for your scores.

Hope you all have fun this week, first course I've had selected for tour play. Just played R1.... Let me say that I think this course is abosoloutely terrible!...... Just kidding 😂 I was blown away by it! It is BRILLIANT!! Easily my favourite course to play so far. Well done! You should give yourself a pat on the back sir, the detail in the course is amazing and the first hole grabs your attention like a leggy blonde on a night out with the lads!.....
