I’ll hang out in here with you all. Finished at -23. Very meh play from myself. 18 killed me every round. Third event so far with tgc regardless of division. First event finished 128, second 65. We’ll see lol. Maybe we can get this more active. I'm glad someone else has trouble with 18. The pin in round 2 was pretty bad. I had a 4 ft putt for par that bent away from me HARD causing a bogey. Haven't played round 3 or 4 yet so fingers crossed...

Haven't played round 3 or 4 yet so fingers crossed... Think 3rd rd I got par on 18... 4th rd I missed a birdie putt that rolled 20 ft by... at least it felt like it did. Overall I was a fan of the course. Being realistic I prob should’ve been at -30. A couple putts I missed due to lag in the game on the swing. I think everything else was good tho. Next week course I practiced and finished the first rd with how the weather report shows at -9... I just need 4 of those rounds. Hoping I can get to cc-b or A but I can’t figure out these guys with their consistency. It’s amazing.

The courses they play in the CC-Pro level are all around harder too. I don't know how people shoot so low. However, time will tell; I couldn't shoot even par for the first few months in this game. Getting better every week!
I always mentally replay the rounds afterward and can usually count 4 or 5 birdie putts that just grazed over the right or left side of the cup... so frustrating!

I had same, 5ft, barely touched it, burned the hole and went another 20ft, 3rd round 17, 18, bogey bogey for a -8, Disappointing as I eagled 3 of the par 5's that round!!

what were to green speeds for round 1 and 2? Were they different? If I remember, R1 and R2 was 154, R3 was 163, R4 was 144..though R2 may have been 144.. I did take note of the Speed/Firmness settings before teeing off: 1, D/D, 2, M/VS, 3, F/M, 4, M/S

Yea the weather section is where I look before the rounds. Always seems to be accurate

Just my opinion I'm ok with it, unless it goes from 187 to 144 and I play it right away.. That change usually takes a couple of holes to re-acclimate..

63-63-64-70, for -28 total. Awful putting for me in R4, and an eagle chip on 8 was the only reason I stayed under par on the front nine.
I read the recent posts about the 18th and still bogeyed it in the final round. Birdies in R2 and R3, though!

Tight landing area and tricky green with that false front. -20 hoping it is enough to avoid a demotion mark

Smoked past it off the green chipped close and missed the bogey putt... doubles to finish at -31. Almost needed a new controller.

Except I knew the speed was insane, barely hit it and rolled 20 ft by. Nice round though.

Well this kind of thing got old real quick...... seems like most fairways had traps in the center of most landing areas. I am a terrible player and found myself in these a lot, but really? Just don't agree with this no matter what tour you are on, but that's my 2 cents.
