It's about time we get this season started. Welcome to week 1, players! Valle de los Reyes plays host to our season opener. You all know the drill. Go ahead and discuss this week's tournament, spoilers included. In case you missed it, weather conditions can be found in the BBC weather center ( tgctours.proboards.com/thread/16780/bbc-weather-center ) and the set-up that the greens staff will try to meet based on the conditions given will be in the general tour reports ( tgctours.proboards.com/thread/16353/tgct-weather-report ). Good luck to all this week and the rest of the season for anybody stuck in the Euro torture chamber! Cheers, Matt

Well, I got off to a really hot start with -9, -8, -11 in the first three rounds for -28 total.
I shot -2 in the final round thanks to jitters and some really tough pin placements... didn't screw up many holes but just couldn't hole any birdies.
-30 overall for the four rounds. I'd expect something around a 30th-35th place finish with that. Hey, it was two shots better than my score last year at this track, at least!

Pretty happy with my opening 3 rounds. I fall apart in Round 4 though.

Bit of a shame us XBox guys have to deal with a 40% chance at a perfect downswing when everyone else is up around 80%.
Had -4. Couldn’t have been much better considering the random very fast swings, I’ll try the tempo lottery again tomorrow I guess.
Never mind, hopefully they’ll fix it and all of the guys who have dropped mass divisions on XBox in comparison to everyone else can get back where they should be. Would be better if they changed PC and PS4 to being as hard as XB - It would have the very best in the game shooting realistic scores.

Happy to be back throwing out competitive darts for the moment. Round 1 in the books with a solid -8 and not much to speak of other than an eagle on #17. Managed to hit all fairways, but didn't translate that into greens. I'll look to improve in round 2.
I was at -46 for Q-School, so the bottom of the Euro tour. I am a pretty average player, so anything in the Top 50 will have me feeling good about my game.

I've been playing poorly for the past week or so, which is why I decided to go straight in, no warm up and play 4 in a row. I've never claimed to be smart.
Anyway. -1 with 15 pars in R1, the 11, 6, 11 for a total of -29. I wasn't too crazy about the course, hopefully I make the cut.

I started out -9/-8 in the first two rounds. Feel like I left a bunch of shots out there but I also managed to keep my scorecard clear of bogeys, so that's nice.

I thought I might have a chance of beating you for the first time ever after I saw your -1 but after those other rounds I'm not so sure now!!!

-4 Rd 1 with 100% fairways and 16/18 greens. Struck the ball solidly tee to green but couldn't hole anything. I don't know what my distance to pin stat was but it couldn't have been great. Most of the time safe but 18-25 feet away, no real bogey threats but a low make % on these somewhat tricky greens. Speed control on putts was good I was getting it to the hole and tapping in pars left and right, the first putts just weren't dropping. The few shots I did manage to knock close form the fairway ended up being hard benders; I missed a couple like that.
Overall it felt like it wasn't great but it could have been worse. Had a strong finish with 3 straight birdies on 15,16,17 after sitting idle at -1 on holes 9 through 14 after bogeys on 7 and 8. It was getting a little frustrating and I had to make a conscious effort to stay patient. It was nice when that paid off. As far as -4's go, this one felt pretty good the way it played out.
Being my first round without the wind mph # (which I knew was coming but didn't do anything to prepare for), some rustiness thanks to red dead 2, and maybe just a few jitters being the official first round of the season, it wasn't all bad. Hoping for a solid round 2 to get my name up a little further on the board. Feels like I'm primed to if I can tighten up the iron shots just a little bit.

Started with a good round, was actually disappointed to shoot -8
Round 2 was fine. Only -6 but I played a few poor shots and they cost me every time resulting in 3 bogies.
Round 3 I was playing great, -7 thru 13 and then it happened..... the game broke. Tempo went crazy. All sorts of nonsense. Slow/V fast, fast/slow... ridiculous. I limped home with -4
Rage played R4 with the same tempo problems making bogey on 1,3 and 4. Finished -2.
My question is, is anyone else having these issues? I have no explanation to why I was playing so well and consistently to not being able to buy a perfect/perfect within the same hour. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
