I think Dale coruler2 needs a geography lesson first up
R1 - only high winds, but at the top end of those. R2 - medium winds, but at the top end of those too!!!
-7 and -8 for -15 total at the cut - which given my complete and utter inability to hit the tempo I wanted, is a decent result. The amount of times I hit a shot and thought 'that's a little fast' - and it registered as a slow, (and vice versa) was incredible
Nice course though - really did remind me of it's inspiration Energ1ser - good job.

Even more clueless in R3 and R4 = -3 / -5. Absolutely no idea how to get a perfect downswing - if I had a dozen in total in those two rounds, I'd be amazed. Good job my putter worked in R4.....it got a LOT of practice at 15-20ft par putts....
Total of -23.
Very close to the controller flying through the monitor right now.

-30 total. Think I screwed a potential top 10 by missing a load of putts on holes 1-6 in rounds 1 and 2, maybe 2 birdies? When I did play well on those holes in R3 I butchered the last 12 instead throwing away 5 shots with bogies or missing short putts. Enjoyed the course too, shame the par 5's all play in the same direction though. Guess theres not much you can do when its an RCR. Should get rid of my other demotion strike with the big boys playing with themselves again. Back to the designer to create some pain and misery

Continuing my bid to be the worst player on the PGA Tour. Shot a -7 and had to make a few bomb putts just to get there.

-9, -15, -12, -4 for -40. Round 4 was just off and couldn’t get anything near the hole then a double bogie punched me in the nads. Seen I was down by 2 with 2 holes to play and dug deep to tie for the lead on PS4. Should be a top 10. I really need the points so I am happy! What could have been though😕. Good luck!

Nice course though - really did remind me of it's inspiration Energ1ser - good job. I had a similar experience tempo wise Rob.I started round 1 around 1:30 PM EST and tempo was same as usual for me(meh).I was doing fair with -7 after 10 when my wife woke up from a nap early and suddenly my calming mood music background on the tele got changed to a hallmark Christmas movie .Totally put off I packed it in 3 holes later with 3 straight pars on some easy holes. I pick up my round about 10 hours later after I regained control of the tele and the same downswing tempo I usually hit was suddenly fast bordering on very fast .I try to take some off thinking "that's slow" and was still getting fast!.I struggled with this most of round 2 also eventually finding the p/p but was incredible how slow I had to go up on the stick compared to hours earlier to register the same perfect downswing.What was the cause of this I have no clue but actually hope it doesn't change as I didn't have to bounce the stick off the plastic ending with some feedback that looks like a candy cane and shots pulled dead left. -9 -9 not great for pretty tame conditions but hoping with the top 50 dismissed this week it will make a cut. Decided to play rounds 3 and 4 in same sitting after my choke job last week and decision to leave round 4 to play late in the week and doing too much scoreboard watching.I actually played better in the tougher conditions .Regardless of finish I was more than happy with my (hopefully counting) weekend score. Another course I really enjoyed playing.Thanks to the designer.Best of luck to those left to play.

I played my rounds early on Sunday and tempo seemed normal. Then I went back on to play some societies late evening and every shot had a fast. Sometimes backswing and other times dlownswing. Tried to slow down but it felt way off. Glad I’m not alone.

Tried to slow down but it felt way off. Glad I’m not alone. I'm not usually one that suffers with this greatly, therefore I've always been skeptical of it being anything other than a user error "thing", but I've had some really odd tempo problems at the back end of last week and over the weekend. Friday night was really odd... Everything was a marginal slow, and I couldn't do a lot about it. Last night, I as the other way, and was SMASHING putts past, so much so I didn't even complete 18. Just ditched it. Similar with the swing... I'm pretty straight, but I was fair old squigglin'.... got kicked, restarted the game... PING! Back to normal, for a while... Something weird going on. None of this affected my tour rounds thankfully. I've also noticed that the servers, when searching for courses, navigating leaderboards etc, have again become quite sluggish. Is that just me? Coincidence regards the above?

Completely agree Mark / John - I also never blame anyone apart from myself for tempo / straightness issues - but this weekend was simply impossible to get either PP or straight for some reason. I wonder if HB have done a little tweak to things prior to the patch to make Masters a fraction more difficult?

But I couldn’t not hit a fast and I usually have a hard time getting them when I want.

Will have a game tonight (UK time) and see then - hopefully it was just a temporary lack of ability on my part!!!!

-6 and -12 in 1st two rounds. Now the wait begins to see if that's good enough to make the cut.

-18 at the cut should sit about 25th? Unless the cut line has moved significantly, I think you folks will be alright.
Hell I shot -6 and -8 and I'm feeling just fine with it being a minor event (now watch me miss the cut).
That said, a couple very "meh" tourneys for me to start on the PGA. Getting better with the short game but still just wonky with the swing at times. With a vacation next week, I'm hopeful to practice up over the holidays and come back re-charged in the new year.
