Worst and best shots so far came on the par 5 17th in round 2. Just short of the green in 2, but then got a very slow tempo on a flop shot which went so far right it was off the green. Then took putter, and holed the 41 feet putt from off the green :-)
Sitting at -15 after 2 rounds. Looking for 2 solid rounds to keep away from demotion marks.

I'm sitting at -33 after 3 rounds (-11,-10 & -12). I've not been this high up a leaderboard since I promoted out of Web on TGC1 two years ago. I hope I can control the nerves in R4.
FYI, I'm a reluctant XB1 Pro club user because the Masters tempo on my setup is f#cked.

Playing masters clubs and did reasonably well for me with a -7 R1 then jumped straight in last night and completely lost it with my swing and tempo. Terrible opening 6 holes left me +4 and had to battle from there to get back to even which I in context want bad considering the amount of very slows I was dealing with.
Powered through to R3, my swing settled down and I shot -9 so there you go. Huge premium on being straight and on tempo. Hopefully post something solid R4 and avoid a red mark.

Was struggling in my last round. +1 thru four holes. Until something happened and I caught fire. Finished the round with 4 eagles (one more lipped out), including these two back to back:

Well R4 was a disaster. Even on Pro on XB1 I got plagued by erratic tempo, especially on the back nine. Struggled through to a -2. By the end I was livid and wondering why I'd wasted 2 hours of my time on R1-3 (to get to T5) only to be undone by XB1 system BS in R4 (and drop to T47). That Beginner clubs tour is starting to have some appeal!

What is the deal with the course this week (hole 12/round 2) and next week (hole 11/round 1) and uneven tee boxes??

So are all these scores Pro/Master club users? Or have they just not removed the Beginner club players yet?

Always seemed to get off to a bad start on that course. Struggled wirh drives on the 1st, and after four goes on that par 5 3rd hole, managed 3 pars and a bogie.

Glad you guys are enjoying the course ! Great course, perfect for this level. Always enjoy playing this track.
Rd4 7th hole also bagged another ace, bit fluky after hanging it in the fringe but slow drawing it back to the hole:

I'll kick off Event 3 at Prairie National. Nice course but please can we not have crowds until the random tempo sh!te on XB1 is fixed. In R1 I was plagued by 4 random Fast (nr Very Fast) on the first 7 green approaches - with Pro clubs! Instead of playing for birdie I'm yards left of the green scrambling for par. Could only manage -1 in R1. It didn't help that I also had my Gillette putter that likes to shave the holes!
The tempo behaved itself for most of R2, except for one hole, and I managed a -7. So -8 after 2 rounds and I suspect heading for demotion points, assuming I bother to finish. At the moment I'm so sick of rounds being ruined by random tempo changes that it is hard to enjoy the tours.

Finished at -18 for the week. So so stuff.
I don’t mean this disrespectfully but the course in my opinion was not very well thought out. No matter where you drive it the ball tends to veer towards the rough and there is no second cut and the rough is deep. No disrespect to the creator as they’ve obviously put a lot of time into making it but as an avid golfer in real life, it didn’t seem a very fair test. Then again I’m only a 10 handicap in real life so... nothing is ever too easy.
Onto next week...
