I was only 1 of 2 to get an eagle on the 8th hole at Pebble Beach

No offence to whomever the designer is this week but the course seems a little below the normal standard of CCpro. Noticing fairways and rough all around the place that isn’t usually as “jaggy”. It’s by no means the cause of my poor play that would be all me and the greens that I can’t play but just my comment, not sure what anyone else thinks. Also what are the red blobs in the fairways?Edit. I’m getting lag for some reason so I’m stopping now. Weird sh%$ going on tonight. Probably HB but backswing slow only and shadows losing resolution etc. not sure what’s happening but it’s pissing me off. Those are supposed to be 100 yard markers... I'm guessing the designer buried a red car and the roof is barely sticking up...

I really liked the look of the new course this week but yea - those 1st 3 or 4 holes are hideous with frame rate. Worst I have see on TGC. I almost quit but it smooths out after that. Some pretty stiff benders putting at the last foot of a few holes will piss players off. Nice look course that could use less meaningless deer and other objects using up computer power on a PS4.
Ended with a -4 on a practice "lets see where I go" round with 10mph winds.

I usually have issues with lag if anyone does and I had no issues at all on the course. My score was a very nifty -11 as well! Wish I had taken a screenie, but on 18 I hit my 2nd into a fairway bunker and ended up next to what appeared to be a dead king cobra (funny, but that is my driver IRL...but not dead). Please let me know if anyone else see this! I did save par from my perilous lie BTW. Onward!

earned a killer B tour card last week on exemption...definitely don't deserve to be up in CCB. pretty sure there's been clerical errors somewhere.
Opened with a 65...which felt pretty good, and then I remembered I'm on CCB and there's no way that is good enough!

Couple of more solid rounds you will be fine. Who knows, you may be just passing thru on your way to the Fonzie tour.

Your aim for this tournament should be to finish in the top half and earn your tour card. As soon as you do that you can relax and have the odd bad tournament. I've just moved up to CC-B myself and have 2 strikes but a top half finish in one of the next 2 or 3 tournaments and I'll be alright for a bit.

Great to have you guys on MY tour (saying that cause I don't see myself getting a Fonzie card, those guys are outta my league!).

Sorry I misread the post, well at least you can finish in the bottom half and let those who have strikes clear them.

This course just does not agree with me at all. I rage quit last night . . . not "rage" more "disappointed" quit . +1 after 5 and my goal was -7 Maybe I turn It around but my practice round was -4 so . . . . . I'm already in strike mode this week. No biggie after a successful Pebble Beach.
WELL - i'm in 64th place out of 74. Time to battel my way back to the strike line. NOT a fan of this course. Nothing WRONG, just not in my wheel house.

Just need to string together 2 good weeks in a row! I don't want to hear this "out of my league" garbage you literally named it the "Fonzie" tour. I'm holding my own on Fonzie and you regularly beat me! With that -11 start I expect to see you back up soon. Also I'll investigate the dead cobra situation. As someone known to this community to have "run ins" with the local wildlife I want to make sure everyone stays safe out there.

Just played round 2 and experienced horrible lag to start the round and in various spots during the round. Swing was all over the place, but mainly hook, hook, and more hook with the occasional slice thrown in. Lots of adjectives that could be used to describe this HB server nonsense. I hope they took the initiative to upgrade their servers for TGC19 or it's a no buy for me.

I'm just not enjoying this at the moment, played 2 rounds and I'm -8. Not really liking this course, I seem to get a few strange shots and putts just shaving the edge of the hole. Might just be my game at the moment but it's feeling more like a chore than anything. Gonna push through this tournament and take whatever strikes I get and hopefully get back in the swing of it.

Man I'm gutted. I'm on 4 strikes in cc-c and needed a good week. My rounds were 65 66 65 77!! I practiced this course all last week to ensure I played it well. That last round I couldn't make up. Every poor bounce put me in a bunker. I sliced four or five times out of said bunkers even though my swing was perfect/perfect. I lipped out putts on six holes. Someone mentioned lag earlier and maybe that was it. I'll be back in cc-d next week onwards I'm assuming. Do they play the same events or is it different. So gutted

I'll see you guys next week. I literally get a headache on this course with the jitters and the mounds 1 foot from the hole on too many putts! I would quit but I need that $10,000 to come in last place, plus I need anger management practice. I'm -3 after 2 rounds and will just play to get it over with. I HATE how the bunkers suck in your ball like a black hole. Just like cahir85 every bad bounce puts you in the bunker. Very unforgiving course. Beautiful but not fun. Glad I have no strikes. EDIT. I was venting.
