Finished R4 at -1, giving me -14 for the tournament. Glad I'm the only one who got broken by the patch.

Played all 4 rounds because I thought i was playing pretty well.. turns out everyone else seems to be playing pretty well too. maybe it is the patch after all.
-10 -9 first two rounds to put me at -19 for the cut. Im really not sure what the cut will look like but with 19 birdies and 17 pars, i can't be mad if it doesn't make it.
-6 -10 to finish at -35 for the week. Good luck everyone!

Round 1 in at -14. ๐๐
Hit the ball really well. Even if I found the rough I made a nice recovery to look at bird. Holed out for eagle on some Par 5. ๐๐
Missed a few putts that I felt like I needed.
Round 2 in at -11. ๐๐
Started off SUPER nice with -3 thru 3. Then, had back to back bogies. ๐ญ๐ญ
I putted 1 off the green. Made the turn at -4.
Recovered well to -7 on the back with another eagle. ๐๐
Sitting at -25 thru 2. ๐๐
Good luck all.
EDIT:..........
Round 3 in at -11 and Round 4 at -10. ๐๐
I hit the ball extremely well all 4 rounds. I have my feedback set to off as I don't give a rat's ass about that stupid line/cone/stripe. Turned it off after I played 12 holes. I know I am going to pull my shots no matter what and adjust accordingly. My first tourney with no feedback and I think I'll stick with it. ๐๐
Made some good putts and had others that were super stupid on my part. But, I am more than happy of my overall total of -46! ๐๐
Been awhile since I've hit -40. On and up from here! ๐๐

Still struggling with tempo here after the latest patch.RD.1 only 71% fw hit but got really lucky with a couple hole out eagles and some decent recovery shots for -15 . RD.2 my luck ran out but the same shiiiiiiiite tempo remained.All kinds of red on the card but still found myself at -9 going to 17 thinking a couple pars and should maybe make the cut.TGC had other things in mind on 17 when the ole random very fast appeared(when I purposely went up slower on the stick to avoid a fast!!) and found the middle of the lake and a big fat double and -7 .-22 now has me sweating out a cut. Finished off 3 and 4 with -10,-13 and a little better control of the tempo....well except for the slow DS from 130 middle of fairway with water right which had me reloading after a brutal drop option and another double. I'm happy to hear the patch has helped a lot of players but it certainly skipped me and back to the drawing board yet again trying to relearn everything

Yeah I think I have the lead at -57 because Vodka9 isn't really on the tour. It's exciting for me as it would be my first win here, but I have a feeling it will not be enough, as I definitely left many shots out there in the first couple rounds. Maybe bluorfe shoots something in the -60s Anyway, proud of my final 36 holes and really happy with my putting on the final 9. Nice to see very firm greens and 187 speeds, my kind of conditions.ย I guess I get a while to sweat it out and see what happens Donโt want to be the one that pisses on your fire pal, but I canโt see your name on the leaderboard, so you may want to check your emails?

I guess my scores are not accepted. After this happened in Q School I bought a brand new DS4 and have been using it since. If this is going to happen every time I play well then what's the point

If this is going to happen every time I play well then what's the point I am sure the admins could put up your shot chart. Probably going to look like cyclerobs where you have 15-20 shots within the same shot zone.

I'll come back tonight and post some examples of my swing, the line,how I hold the controller, etc. My line on the backswing sometimes seems like a fraction below the bottom and it goes all the way through the top. It's not a short line, though on putts my line always looks short

I'd be fine with this, but I understand I am supposed to go to the fair play assistance forum. The last time I did that no one gave me a shot chart, they just told me my controller was probably too work in

Interesting that your scores pulled through ok on true sim.
This API is starting to cause more problems that itโs solving. Iโm all for weaseling out cheats but when itโs affecting genuine honest players, itโs counter productive. Unless Ben used two different controllers for PGA and True Sim, which would be highly improbable, how can we say โthereโs nothing wrong with your controllerโ in one event, and โyour controller is shotโ in another?

I don't play this course yet. But, for me, the patch is a nightmare...I can't keep the same swing than before... The incident when the line is not completely right are growing stronger... The game is became an other TGC2 ...It's sad...
Congratulations to Hipptystein one more time ! Good score ! You speak about your putt, but when I play with you ghost I like your putting to much ! I think is one of your strong...
I'm very happy to see Sloaner come back in the dance... and new guys like Donkey and Boubgasture...
For me, I think it's the beginning of the end...
All the Best everybody !

Cheers gus putting is my strong point dude normally but havent managed to get to grips with it on tour play yet. Summat to get my head round, medium putts are killing me 66% in r2 and 83% in r3 this week compared to my career avg of 95% so considerably down on that. Now im playing a bit more my consistency should start getting better.

So I tried to make a video of how I swing. It's a little more awkward than when I play because I was setting my phone on a table and holding my hands under it to get the video but it captures the basic technique. I essentially hold the controller in my left hand with my right hand index and middle finger under the two sticks. I put my right thumb on the left stick and try to line up the middle of my knuckles with the vertical line on the controller on the side of the big rectangle. Then its a combination of rolling my thumb back and forth and rotating the controller in my left hand.
I guess it is somewhat of a flicking motion but it doesn't really create a short line. I do find it easy to make a straight line and have a consistent tempo (though I have good and bad days). I've been holding it this way for video game golf since at least 2009 so I would guess it might take someone who hasn't tried it before a little practice to repeat my results.
Later tonight I will try to get my wife to film me with the TV and everything so we can see the motion and the resulting lines on the driving range. Anyway, since I was flagged in Q School, I bought a brand new controller to use and played every week in true sim without issues and went through Q School and had 3 top 25 finishes here without issues then I have a really good couple rounds this week and get flagged, which is frustrating.
