Well, I wasn't planning on playing the last tournament, but then thought, I probably should as it's pretty awesome to be in the top 30 players at the end of the season. BUT...I suck now because my swing is so different...blah blah blah...anyway, tried my best , struggled A LOT, but powered through a season ending -29. Congrats to everyone who made it this far. Congrats to Steve and Brad...awesome seasons guys. Bye TGC 2. Moving forward with the new game...I AM STRUGGLING. Don't know if I'll ever be the player I was in TGC 1 and TGC 2, but it will be fun trying. My goals for the first season are pretty simple at this point...remain in the PGA, earn one million dollars for the season, get a top 10 finish. Those may not sound like big goals, but I'm basing them on my play thus far which is very wishy washy. I have rounds where I'm -14, and then follow that with -4 on the same course. My swing is good for a round and then it's gone. I've seen guys already shooting -50's in tournaments and I can tell you I'm NOWHERE near that...my goal is to break -30 for now. SO, hope to remain in PGA, but looks like I will be the middle of the road guy for a while. Good luck to all in the new season You’re not alone! It’ll come though. Putting is my issue. Putting is weird in TGC 2019. If I make the same stroke as I do with a full shot, I'm more than likely to push the putt. If I pull the stick back slightly left of 6 o'clock, I make a much more consistent straight stroke. To me, this is extremely annoying; why would you have to make an off straight stroke to get the ball to go straight? It seems a little contrived to me, I like the fact that you can push and pull putts now and straight short putts aren't a given, but I should be able to make a straight up and down move to get the ball to go straight.
I've tried with a few controllers on PS4 and PC, it's the same story on both.

I thought it was just me on the putting stroke. I find I have to really pay attention to that but I slip often.

Some day in the future a kid will come up to me and say, "Weren't you in the top 30 once who was really good at one time but now sucks?" And I'll say, "Go away you are thinking of someone named Brad."

I have this exact same issue Brad. Can stripe the driver and irons, but most chips and almost all putts are inside / out. I have a wireless DS4 that I can chip and putt straight with, but am much more prone to tempo issues

I finished -40. Course played laggy at times vs the version used for TST. I missed lots of putts, had two bogeys, I hit the stick 4x with approaches, it wasn't my week!
I haven't played 2019 for over a week so I'm going to have to catch up quickly!
Congratulations to Brad, Steve and Scott for their performances this season!

Well I tried... I tried to give it my all for this one but the game trolled me too many times. Felt like I putted well but had too many off tempo swings on short approach shots and flop shots that ruined my rounds. Missed a 7 footer for bird on the 72nd hole to tie B.Smooth13 at -39. Oh well... great shooting to my fellow Ryder Cup teammate! Congrats to blueorfe, SloanerTW, and hippystein on an amazing season. Well done gentlemen, you are an inspiration. In closing, finished up at -38. Felt like it could've been -48. Tournament was frustrating at times but overall a blast. Actually I could say the same for all of TGC2. As good as it was it's time move on. Here's hoping TGC 2019 will be even better! Have a good one everyone!

So I am doing this in a bit of a rush as I have to go to mom-in-laws for her birthday. Basically if you played you got a final ranking, if you didn't play too bad, so sad. Only twenty of the top 30 bothered to play and here are your top 20 for Season 4. It was neck n neck all year but Steve Sloan is the Rocher World Tour Champion!!
** Steven Smyth ** technically hasn't finished his last two rounds if he doesn't he has a DNF.
1 Steve Sloan 4,000 2 Brad Garcia 3,000 3 Scot Fulton 2060 4 Mark Custard 1736 5 Justin Smedley 1520 6 Jack Oliver 1270 7 Albert Fargo 1008 8 Alan Sutherland 954 9 Nathen Bedell 728 10 Mike Smith 586 11 Steve Garrity 561 12 Fred Tilmant 510 13 Bob Balzhiser 501 14 John Glenwood 480 15 Oliver Haas 462 16 Ron Duncan 459 17 Josh Cassiday 426 18 Fabrizio Costa 401 19 Chris Baumi 330 20 Steven Smyth 295

I gotta feel sad for Brad. So close again and I'm sorry you couldn't pull it off this year. At least you lost to a Canadian rather than that Irish dude. Congrats Steve on a well played year and final few tournaments.

I didn’t bother. Just was ready to move on. Plus without a reset and having made the Ryder Cup already there was little incentive. Congrats to all the top20!

I reset the points cause Doyley didn't have the time to do so. So these are the points after they were reset. My best finish before was 18th. Good to beat it by 2 but I'm peeved cause I think I could have cracked the top 10 had I had more time to practice the rounds.
Either way, good end to the season I think. I wish 2019 came out 2 weeks later so we all could have put a little more time into this final.
