Good luck all.
I found in practice that I had to change my club set as there were a lot of 210-230 yard shots that fell between clubs.

I've tried different strategies on the driveable 8 with it being downwind for the first round. I think I'm just going to fully loft a driver, let it rip, and hope. Is anyone else planning on doing the same? Same with 17, the one with the bunker in the middle of the fairway island, front right of the green.

Not a good week for me this week.
Opened by chipping in for birdie but a fast swing put me in the water on 2. Mainly pars with the odd birdie for the rest of the round and finishing with birdies on 17 and 18 make it look a bit better than it was. -5
R2 was solid enough to start with finishing the front 9 at -6 but I was constantly fighting with a poor swing. For some reason this week I was pushing almost every shot meaning I had too much to do with the putter. Another wet ball on 17 (slow swing) resulted in my only bogey in this round and a birdie to finish got me back to -8.
-13 at the cut. I think this one will be my first missed cut of the season.
Good luck everyone ππΌββοΈππ»ββοΈ

4 x par 4s over 500 yds all 4 par 3s over 200 yds 1 of the 2 par 5s over 600 yds
Long approach shots get a bit monotonous

It didn't feel too long to me. Plus we're not even going from the tips.

Started with a -8. Striped everything perfectly. Made a lot of putts.
Played a horrible second round. Got in between the left side fairways on 17 in the rough - tried to approach it over the water. Plop. Made a 7 as part of a +3 round where I just didn't make many birdies.
-8. +3. -5 total. No consistency and probably my third straight demotion mark after a top 15 in week 1.
Very frustrated right now as my swing is all over the place. I'm headed for Web soon in all likelihood.

My best showing yet! Round 1 i made a silly bogey, but from then on i went bogey free. Round 2 and 4 was great, round 3 cudnt make a putt. Mustve had 30+ putts πͺ Things got better in round 4 to post a competitive total for once, maybe even compete with some ps4 folk π -39 total.

Played on PC, got the results a level 3 player would expect. -3 x 2 = MC3.

-5 & -12 to be sitting @ -17 halfway. Should be enough to clear my kisses.
I've switched from PC to PS4, for obvious reasons. Missed last week's event after a paperwork error on my part switching between the platforms... but I'm slowly finding my new swing on the new platform.
Funny how much confidence grows in all aspects of the game when you are not randomly hitting v.fast & v.slows... even my putting got better. -12 would be the stuff of fantasy on the PC for me. On PS4 felt pretty easy, I left a couple out there...

-12 would be the stuff of fantasy on the PC for me. On PS4 felt pretty easy Therein lies the inherent problem on this whole site. Anyway, i digress... Very frustrating opener, -11 (yadda yadda i know), but missed 3 or 4 other tiny putts for bird including missing a 5 footer for eagle on 18. My approach game, save a few off tempos was bang on, my putting cost me a -15 or better round. Ill probably go -5 in R2, i have no consistency at all.

-8 followed by -3 for a total of -11, first missed cut. Just lost my swing a bit this week. Very first hole of the tournament double bogey, which was a 4 putt after having 10 ft for birdie. While that seems like it should have been a bad sign I made a solid comeback and posted a respectable -8 considering the hole I dug myself on the 1st green. Could have been -11 for the same price.
Round 2 is where it all kind of fell apart. Very loose swing lines, more tempo issues than I'd care to see, no putts dropping....add it all up and it's a very underwhelming -3.
These struggles continued and got worse the rest of the day Sunday and into the first of the rounds I played last night but I think I got it worked out. I was struggling with upswing tempo, with a sudden case of the very slows. After spending some time on the range I realized my on-course attempts to fix the issue weren't working because it wasn't an issue with my upswing at all, but more of an issue with my timing on the backswing/transition. The idea that it's a backswing/transition issue rather than forward swing may be more how I have to think about it in my mind to fix the upswing issue rather than what's actually happening at the controller but however you want to classify it I got it fixed, and that's all that matters.
Missed cut works out. Red Dead Online just launched so I won't mind getting an hour and a half of my life back not needing to play rounds 3 & 4, not to mention the promotion event requiring 4 rounds this week.

Played very solid in Round 1 to shoot -10 and keep my momentum from last week. Ran off the tracks in Round 2 with so many unforced errors. Just seemed like every swing and putt was off by just a touch. Didn't play well, and deserved the -3 to sweat the cut line. Finished out the weekend, and Round 3 wasn't any fun at all with my swing still ailing. Played a little better in Round 4, but still wasn't a very good week for me. Can't see my -19 total really getting me anywhere.

Tuesday morning cut prediction... -11 or -12... looking a bit lower than I initially thought!
