Them second round winds were horrendous. Thanks to the guy who dishes the wind out. I think the winds cannot be controlled (apart from the fact that they're the same for everyone, of course). If I'm right, they are randomly generated by the game depending on the course theme. At least that is what I can remember from when I asked the same question for TGC2.

I'm pretty sure they can choose wind direction and speed in this game. Them second round winds were horrendous. Thanks to the guy who dishes the wind out.

Yep wind speeds, direction, green speed, firmness, fairway firmness, time of day, weather ...more can all be set by the person who sets up the events. Love this new addition to the game. Best now to go look at the weather reports for upcoming events and practice accordingly or at least be prepared. tgctours.proboards.com/thread/16355/tgct-weather-report

Love this new addition to the game. I should definitely read the other forum boards more often before I reply based on a lack of knowledge, as this surely has been discussed somewhere, then. Still, I'm happy that my answer would have been right if the discussed game was TGC2.

Wind is part of golf, and you will be tested in that regard sporadically throughout the season. Holyoke is very wide which affords an opportunity to present that test this week.
It won't be every week. It won't even be most weeks.

I’m not complaining. I’m just saying. Agree it’s a great addition being able to change all course conditions for any given round.

Do we have a cut line in CC or do we play all 4?

Do we have a cut line in CC or do we play all 4? Now, I'm sure: In CC, there is now cut line. All 4 rounds are played by everyone.

Is there any way to determine club sets used within the leaderboard? I am a master club user and want to see how I stack up against other master club users.
Shot -28 through the 4 rounds with master clubs. Happy with that considering the low GIRs I got and the frequency of non-perfect approach shot swings (slow downswings are killer!). Hopefully it at least keeps me top 20ish but I'm not holding my breath.
Cheers!

Hitting the greens was the problem for me in that second round. Hit 100% of fairways, but only 50% of greens.
Played the final 2 rounds last night, E and -8, to finish on -13 overall. Also on master clubs.

Shot -20 but I played 2 rounds with Pros and 2 rounds with Masters -8 with Pros...-12 with Masters...I'll be sticking with Masters from here on out

Managed to get three rounds done today -5, -1, -3 leaving me -10 and middle of the pack. Frustrating due to a series of daft errors, in particular the final hole where I infuriatingly kept missing within 3 feet and dropped a few strokes at the very last.
Targeted -20 for this which has probably gone now but can't complain really with not enough practice and still nothing I can rely on in terms of keeping a straitish swing or at least a consistent miss.
I do feel like I'm improving though and beginning to get little pockets of play where something seems to click so will continue to try and feel it out and hopefully find some form soon.
Overall I really enjoyed playing again and a top notch course as well. Good luck to those yet to finish. I noticed CC-A scores are only a stroke or two better so it's certainly tight out their for positions.

Got very lucky in the second half with two long hole-outs and two additional long eagle putts. Shot another -6 and a -8 to cross the finish line at -25.
After a slow start at +2 after 2, I gained some momentum, which culminated in back-to-back eagles on the 7th and 8th. The remainder of the round was not that noticeable, but i got birdies on every other hole, so I was happy with the outcome.
Then, I jump started to -6 after 4 into the final round. Clearly, however, I couldn't hold that pace, but I managed to not completely fall apart and added a solid -2.
This should put me in the Top 40, maybe even with a promotion mark.
Good luck all!

Couldn't play all week until my cut thumb healed up, so some Saturday morning marathon golf for me.
All over the place, I was. Good grief. A total of -14 puts me deep in mediocre land for CC-B this week. Round 1 and 3 were 70s, very disappointing. Putting killed me on top of poor shooting. A 65 in Round 2 was fun, I guess I do OK in high wind? Just a lot of missed opportunities.
See you Monday for next week's rounds!
