….aaaand its an hour later. Boom, bogey free rounds 3 and 4. Have to go and see a chiropractor....been throwing my head skyward a few times too many as yet another putt goes in until it misses. Upside, some which i'd be happy just to 2 putt and...crash Tales of 2 putts. No music - slammed it off halfway during round 2 All in all happy with my score - round 2 will probably cause a missed green tick, but some fighting spirit to gain a fairly ok finish I think (-10 and -9 to finish -34)

Best round with master clubs yet in round 1, -14! JW Hamilton sitting proudly in 1st place. Don’t worry everyone, that will be very short lived.
The final 3 rounds I couldn’t even total -14 between the 3 of them combined! So much for my hopes of a promo mark or the crazy idea of a win I had after round 1 haha. That’s what I get for trying to finish all society rounds in one day to have free time to design all week.

Damn JW that sucks. There would be a huge knot in my stomach for days. I would have definitely found time during the week to play the last 2 or 3 rounds if I started that well. I'll be getting atleast 1 rd in tonight but pushing for the 2nd with whichever ghosts I'm tied with after 1. Hopefully its yours... 😉

I have officially stopped having fun with this game. I went to play my rounds today (early for once) and I am getting slow backswings (which I never get). On top of that, the little white radar ball at the bottom doesn't go away unless I sit there for a minute. I finally had enough after 4 holes and shut it off. It is no longer fun to play a game that is based on the internet for a swing and that my system has a clear disadvantage.
Then I go to pick up my phone and I see that HB tweeted they are having technical issues. Awesome. So on top of being at a disadvantage, this craptastic game is having an issue on the disadvantaged system.
Thank God I stopped when I did or I would have REALLY wasted some holes.
The loyal part of me wants to continue on and embrace the challenge but the logical part of me knows the definition of insanity.

I'm sure you'll be loyal and embrace the challenge. Just take a bit to cool off.
On the easy system I'm tied for 2nd. Woot Woot! But I see a few low scores in the 1st rd that haven't played the 2nd yet. Hmmm, do I still go ahead and start counting those chickens?

Damn really makes one cherish the memories of TGC2 even if it was dial-a-shot

Beware of round 2. Something with this course causes only VF and Fast swings.
I think someone needs to play test on X1 using the conditions they are going to use for the tour because I've heard multiple people complain that strange things are happening on this course.
Also love how wind speed and direction didn't vary from default. Come. On. Now. That is just pure laziness.

I like default better. Its what the designer wanted when creating the course. Ppl complain when its set to something else and ppl complain when you leave it as is. A "damned if you do and damned if you dont" scenario.

Coulda swore that the designer sets the general wind direction and speed of the course when its created and thats considered default.
Guess thats wrong then.

It is wrong, there's nothing about wind in the designer. But I still prefer default, you get more variety over a round and it feels more natural.

18 Under for the event. Struggled with the tempo all 4 rounds - game is so frustrating on PC.... So glad I prefer designing.

Why wouldn't they just call it that? I was under the impression that it's set by the designer per round as well.
