If I thought there was less chance of getting a demotion mark using Master Clubs on Xbox I would use them, all I’m doing at the minute is treading water using Pro Clubs just to keep a demotion mark off my profile.

After countless practice rounds at Ardoilean, have to consider the course both unpredictable and unplayable. Have at it boys.....

Played 2 rounds, enjoyed the course, hated the course, still confused on whether I should like the course. Interesting layout, I really enjoyed the visual aspect of the course, refreshing to play something different than the norm, but wanna take a 20 pound hammer and flatten some hole locations in round 2 Round 1, got mocked by a bucket load of unwanted fast downswings which exposed my inability to chip with any authority around greens. Short game from off the greens lead to 3 drop shots - including a double on reachable p5 13th, grrrrrr. Signed for 8 under. Round 2, where did all those fast downswings suddenly disappear off to? Yay, was hitting greens like there is no tomorrow, dang, those pins....missed 4 putts inside 5 feet, thankfully no 3 putts and no bogeys either for the round. Had my obligatory 'one day...' albatross attempt on the 18 again... Finished up with another -8 for 16 under at the halfway point. Early days and not much else to measure my score against at the moment, gut feeling is probably just average. Ye, is a nice course. Good luck all, leave me a spot in top 100 please!

Played your ghost in the 1st round(as I usually do)...you jumped out early on me but I felt your pain on 13. Matched your -8...nice finish after that 7 on 13...you made a couple nice shots the next few holes to grab it back quick

I think it’s going to be a tough week for me with Pro Clubs it felt like there were to many long uphill par 4’s & 5’s when I had a practice just hoping for a tail wind.

This game has been nothing but a lag infested piece of crap lately. I can play Nascar Heat 3 on ultra settings and run buttery smooth at 60-70 FPS. Cue up this piece of trash and it's like I'm playing on a dial up modem

Played R1, and posted -10. Was really happy, though I had two bogeys, which was frustrating but a solid start.
Then go see the board and release wasn't as good!

I haven't shot many sub 60 rounds this season. Boom, got one here! Out of the traps with a 59, missed a short par putt on 8 and a very makeable birdie putt on 15 but more than made up for it with a number of clutch birdie putts and a couple of good par saves. Often they're more important than the birdie putts. Capped it off with a beautiful approach in to 18 for a tap in eagle. Will take that all day long.

Closed out with -9 and -2. 4th round was trouble right of green = hit slow down, trouble left of green = hit fast down
Between a rock and a hard place, have to make a choice between getting bored to death or frustrated to death. And I hate being bored to death, but I refuse to be frustrated to death by a game
smh

Probably the most authentic course we've seen this season. The stressed out terrain & planting is particularly well done. Fairways & greens are "Marmite" but if you pick your spots & hit the ball true you can score well.
Had a bag full of frustrating tap in pars but back to back -7's so far for a midpoint total of 14 under....

And I hate being bored to death, but I refuse to be frustrated to death by a game smh I'm assuming you mean pro clubs boring and master clubs frustrating? If so, I get it. I switched back to pro clubs because it gives me the best chance to win. I'm too inconsistent with the masters. I miss the distance though. -15 thru 18. Ghosted SteynPing, Beerbarron2000, and Typhon008. Had to remove Typhon after 9 holes for struggling. Sorry dude, you were just slowing up the pack. Steyn started off really hot with like 5 birdies in a row. Didn't think I could keep up. Especially after a brutal 4ft miss on the first Par 5 for birdie. A miss that lingered in the back of my miind the whole way. I'm still thinking about that one. He had some solid approaching throughout but cooled off considerably after the turn thanks to the golf gods. Beerbarron played pretty consistently throughout but was missing that little extra. Couldn't really string together a birdie run. I had a mediocre start but still managed a -6 after 9. Then I played my best golf ever. I putted my a$$ off. Everything was falling like Justin Rose in the first 3 rds this weekend. I even felt like Gary Woodland after my 20 ft eagle putt on 18. Imitated him to the T with both hands in the air with the putter in hand. Only difference... I had a controller. And Its only rd 1. There's still alot of golf to be played. Told myself before the event started, "I'm gonna win this week. I'm gonna post that on tgctours too. Nah, too cocky." I should've posted it. Let these guys know I'm the Koepka around here. Hey, what can I say? I'm feeling it. The US Open got me excited, focused, and I was truly inspired. Oh, and look at this first timer with the -17. Lets see what the API has to say. 😆 Wink wink. J/K. If its legit. Just wow. 3 eagles on the scorecard. Good luck to everyone the rest of the way.

neifesis - ye, spot on with club id. Same, I will miss the master club distance if I go pro, seems as if designers always make a hole or 2 to tease the master clubs players. And I always bite. Crocs love to bite. Rule #1 - take driver, then find a spot one can hit it to

He only had 19 putts one two putt green and an accuracy of 77.8% GIR 85.7% FIR longest putt was 13.3 feet that’s some going.
