Well after playing the qualifying Masters with Masters ... dead last !! This past tournament played with Pros ... and sitting 151 with two demotion strikes. I think for my well being, will stick with Pros. Just hasn't been playing my best this past month ... can only get better ... right !!! Just keep playing, keep competing, and best of all keep commenting. Love reading everyone's comments, rants and observations of the game. If I've learned anything on tour, it's that the season is a marathon, not a sprint -- at least for most of us.
About a month ago, I was in your shoes... pretty much dead last, and also at the point where I finally gave up on Masters in favour of Pros. Had a top 10 finish last week, and this week I narrowly missed losing a green after one lousy round took any hope of a top 30 finish this week. Lots of ups and downs from week to week. In my case, I generally have respectable Fairways and Greens in Reg stats, but my putting is almost always abysmal. You wouldn't believe how many putts I leave within 6 inches of the hole per round. If even half of those go in, I'm moving up 30-40 spots each tournament. So, even though my putting sucks at the moment, I'm also close to getting it more dialed in.
Hang in there... I'm hanging in ... I'm no quitter !! Love TGC Tours too much to leave. Just, IMO, enjoy the feel of Pros over Masters. We all choose what's best to play for our own game. I'm not great, I expect to be middle of the pact. I'm still learning ... I am okay with that ... I just like to compete and see where I am on leader board week to week. I must admit that I do like the camaraderie ... but must say there is less then there was in TGC2. Which is a shame ... It's this forum, threads, whatever you want to call it, that makes playing this game that more enjoyable. I can comment on my game, whether good or bad ... and read about others comment on their own game play. It's a wonderful thing we have with TGC Tours !!!

Hmmm... you sure you want to sit out? I mean, 65 of of the 67 CCFers who've teed off so far have finished their first round under par.... I set up another practice round using the R2 conditions and played it - came out -3 for the round. The course is definitely scorable, but the green sizes ans many of the landing areas are just plain annoying, never mind all the 90 degree doglegs. Nope, I'll be giving this a miss just to stop me getting pissed off. The 'moderate' (i.e., 144) green speed on R3 is another bone of contention that will add to the annoyance. Fo my own sanity, I'm out. Good luck to all, I'll be back next week with my usual tales of missed putts and over-hit chips.

This course is certainly scorable, but it's a bit tricked up and the slow greens the first two rounds we're a disaster for me. The par 3s are kind of weird on this course too, number 12 has 4 pins with each on a section the size of a coffee table.

FFS....missed out on top 25 by a single stroke. Good news is that I know I must have left 6 or 7 out there on the course over the four rounds.

Anyone else notice this week's set up doesn't equate with the "Weather Report"? Round 1 green speeds are meant to be set to "Default" (which is 162) but in game they were set to "Moderate" (144). Why?
And what exactly was the point of setting any of the rounds to "Fast" (163) when the actual course default is 162??
Yet more tiresome meddling for no f**king reason. Leave the courses alone.

Remember, the weather report lists possible conditions in alphabetical order... it is not a suggestion of which conditions are in which round. Also curious as to why it matters if it's marked as fast or default?

At this point, I would like to state that the inability to have variations in course conditions was the number one complaint related to tournaments in societies in TGC2. You are in the extreme minority with your stated view of "leave the courses alone."

You are in the extreme minority with your stated view of "leave the courses alone." That's probably true, but it doesn't make my point incorrect. Any reason for the completely unnecessary meddling of "Default" versus "Fast" conditions?

My question would once agian be... why does it matter if it's listed as default or fast? Quite simply, the course default is 162, the chosen speed was "Fast" which is 163. Why on earth make that change? It's nothing more than utterly pointless meddling. There cannot be a reasonable argument for it. And notably there hasn't been one.

It makes literally no difference so why does it matter? This has to be a contender for the most pointless TGCT complaint of all time!
