Whew. Well I'm glad thats overwith. I really really hate Augusta, or Magnolia, or whatever we call it on here. Don't mind watching the pros play it, but I'll stay in the clubhouse!
My only chance at not getting a double demo is if 60 people hate it worse than me, and decide to not finish. hahah.

To register head over to the CC World Cup Event thread and post your Leaderboard Name, Forum Name and Current Flight. This is being run in conjunction with the Promotion Event #3, so you must play in that to take part.

I'm sure it will be short lived, but sitting on top of the leaderboard even briefly feels nice Definitely some scores to be had this week even with the high wind in round 1.

Yeah that was a bit of a struggle. Nature of the game i guess. Im hoping half the field gave up. Lol. On a related note, high five to the bottom of the leader board for hanging in there. I lose the love after shooting 8 over for a round, and some of these scores are 15-20 over and they still come back for more. Clearly better men than me.

Hey everyone. New here. Picked up the game on Xbox last week, heard about TGCtours, did q-school and well, here I am! Looking forward to trying to break par with you all.
Any tips or guidance for a newbie would be much appreciated!

Those wind conditions were tough! Shot a -4 with a few bogeys. I'll take it! On to round 2.

Ok so first tournament in TGCTours for me is underway. I think I passed the first test: I played in the CC-AM society!
Thought I'd do my due diligence and played a practice round in round 1 conditions first which helped (I think). -4 on my first round.. pretty nervous. Sank some more putts on round 2 that had easier wind conditions for a -8! I'm not gonna lie: I'm pretty stoked!! Different pins though so I think I'll play a round 3 conditions in practice mode before hitting the tourney again. Good fun though!

Ok so all done with my first ever TGCTours tournament. Went -7 third round and -6 final round with birdie droughts on the back 9's.
Can't remember but I think that puts me at -25 for all 4 rounds bit won't win me any trophies but it's probably better than I thought I would score.
So what happens now? Just wait and do it all again next week?

Then it's on to next week, although there's a Promotion Event in week 25 where if you perform well you can jump up flights.

Dude if you think -25 won't win you any trophies you are in the wrong flight. LOL We are the lowest on the totem pole. -25 here *should* win all day long, or at least have a very good chance.
EDIT: Max, I just went and rechecked the leaderboard, and apologies, my friend. After round 2, the leader is already at -19. I didn't realize they were that far ahead. No offense, to anyone, but I'll be glad when the people that shouldn't be in the lowest flight move up. The lowest rung on the ladder should not require -40 to win.
I was waiting to see the results after R2.
I had 8, I counted 'em boys, EIGHT putts that either stopped on the edge of the cup, or hit the edge and went by in R2. I'm talking so close if you could jump up and down beside it it would have fallen in. EIGHT!!! By the 6th one, I was just laughing and shaking my head every time it happened, and even happened on the 18th, the last hole, one more time, just to spite me. haha
But I'm in position 73. had those eight putts fallen in, I would have been tied for 11th. shaking head in disbelief. LOL

I only mentioned that as I saw the r4 leaderboard standings yesterday and I wasn't even close. I could tell I wasn't going to be dead last either mind you! As for your putting issues, a good tip I learnt from real golf: 100% of putts left short don't go in so yeah hit them past the hole to give them a chance!

Admin are all over it don't worry, I actually got moved up to CC-E because of my score in this week's tournament. Yeah it will cost me a win on my resume but it was definitely the right move by the admin.

Oh I believe in thundercocking the putts! the line in my sig don't just apply to drives. LOL
All those putts were not left short. They were all beside the hole, or went past it. I was saying that they were just like a millimeter or less off, Thaaaaaat close, EIGHT of them like that. not to be confused with the putts not getting there.
