Thanks fadgewacker for talking me into using that putting marker. I missed putts even closer if that's even possible. Now I've got to somehow fire a 48 in the last round to hit my winning prediction number. No problem... Just don't take advice from anybody or try anything different in future, and continue to be surprised if your putting is shite that way, the only thing you can blame is what's between the sofa and the controller. Or HB, people like to blame HB. Or blame me. I've got broad shoulders. ah Tommy Chong

Downloading new patch on XBox. I'll break my new cold strategy and play a round at The Chastener and report back.

Downloading new patch which I'm sure will screw up my game to the point where I can't finish top 10 any more. LOL

Unless this is a bad connection time to play, I got the same old tempo nonsense.

And prepare to trickle through the fairways and into heavy rough off the tee. You need the sawed-off fast driver from 2 to hold these fairways.

Finished up the event with a -9 & -11 to total -36. Pretty consistent & improving - feel like I'm not playing that well yet, which is perversely encouraging. Expecting that to be good enough to seal a top 20.
As for the gameplay changes - too early to really tell based on 1 round, but tempo seemed about the same on PS4. Flop rollout seems the biggest tweak.

The off-tempos on all shots aren't as severe; distance wise and left/right dispersion. Flops are better with less spin because the trajectory isn't a flop to begin with. Loft box is whatever. And my tempo issues are the same but now I'm struggling with squiggly swing lines for the first time.

I know I'm not on this tour right now, but decided to play along anyway. Really enjoyed the round 2 set-up. Even got some punch shots in. Didn't play all that well, but still enjoyed the 1st 2 rds.

Shot a very disappointing -7 in round 1, but came back with a strong-10 in round 2, so I'll make the cut. Finished overall at -37 which could be a top 20 or so. Not my best work, but a paycheck π.
BTW, what is the course for next week's Russian Open? I actually have a little spare time and wanted to get in a practice round.

Downloading new patch which I'm sure will screw up my game to the point where I can't finish top 10 any more. LOL Made the game somewhat easier for me Ron, so you never know... Played R1 and R2 for a bit of practice in the winds last night, and to test out how the new swing works. Didn't do too badly, and had a couple of highlights. Aklways love playing St Andrews. Probably my favourite course in game.

Played my first two rounds on Sunday and Monday, and felt very good sitting at -21 for cut time. Played the first 9 of my third round on Wednesday, but had to quit before I could finish. Turned it back on yesterday evening to the automatically downloaded patch. Talk about an interesting next 27 holes. My pitches and flops were impacted the most, but the sidehill lies also really messed with my game. I four putted #16 from 10 feet for double, and hit a good flop on #18 that didn't carry anywhere near the distance required and missed another there for bogey. Ticked off, I just went after round 4 without thinking. Started by missing from close on #1 and #2, but things took off from there. Still had problems with the short shots, but putted lights out, and holed a wedge for eagle on #16. Unfortunately, made par on #18 that had me disappointed, but looked up to see I was in 2nd on the PS4 board.
Maybe -43 holds up, maybe it doesn't?
Good luck to everyone yet to finish! Keep your eye on how the flops and pitches are reacting now with the new settings.

Nice shooting stoney. One of the patch changes got me. Before I could use a slow/slow on 5-7 yd chip shots. Very ugly swing but it worked. Now if you try that the ball has full top spin and rolls about 20 yds!

So I think I finally figured out this patch and think I can work with it. Went out and did a practice round and scored a -4 with a double and two bogeys. Pretty good for a first practice game after a completely new swing. I'll take the day today and part of tomorrow to see if I can get more used to it. Looking like I gotta go -9 or -10 this round to keep in the top ten. I think that is possible if I can stop the bogeys. Either way it will be interesting. I think the swing overall is better than the previous one as I can take a full swing once again but having a higher DPI than I have ever played before is effecting accuracy. Should be interesting.
