Shot 2 over for the first round. Played pretty good tee to green but my putting was horrible. I'll take it though I have shot much worse using the loft box. I also could have blow up really bad on the last hole. I was in the bunker to the right and gambled with a hybrid out of it to get me to the top tier of the green. Could have hit the lip of the bunker and who knows what I would have shot . Made par and went to the 19th hole. Met some guy named OK874286 or something like that. Nice fellow š Here is a clip of that bunker shot. xboxclips.com/FRSTDWN/d2dd77e7-d60f-459e-b5b7-d75d171cc37fOhh and the Belfry is awesome! Iām playing The Brabazon course for real in April suppose I better get some practice in on it. š

Followed up with -6 2nd round with one bogey offset by one eagle felt I should've scored better to be honest even though my approach on 18 somehow finished 5 inches away from the hole ... didn't hear it hit the pin but must have haha stats for round 2 below

Just a little reminder that follow cam off does apply to your ghost or live opponents too. I use the spectator cam for all my opponants shots in the game, more realistic as a pro golfer doesn't stand directly behind his opponants putt attempt.My real life society doesn't allow it also.

Don't do this very often bit of a shameless plug here,Did not think many played this way but i play with the guides here,but if anybody ever plays Royal Troon and wants to play along side the Official 2016 course guide its here,all distances are correct and greens close as possible. (shame about the bunkers hb provide) www.strokesaver.co.uk/royal_troon_open_2016Also there is a Hazeltine Ryder Cup guide from 2016 The course is measured correct but the distance on guide are from some of the forward Tees,so you will have to do a bit of maths,green detail not so clear only really the major slopes,also the layout was changed for ryder cup so after 4th you would have to switch a little between pages 1,2.3.4.14,15,16,17,18,10,11,12,13,5,6,7,8,9 (also alot of trees cut down since) www.strokesaver.co.uk/hazeltine_ryder_cup_2016Thanks for plays around RSG,its great way to play like this not sure if you play with overhead maps,but for me love playing with Tee view.

A course official comes out.
Someone tell Art Vandelay that Josia had to go to the bathroom at the 9th, he'll be back to finish his round later.
HAHAHA

When I play normal sim I use the follow cam here and there especially for longer shot when I think IRL I would be able to see more than in game. Obviously I wasn't even thinking about it or I would have not recorded it. I can dq myself if you want. It was a great shot!

I think accidentally hitting up to engage the follow cam isn't punished as long as you swiftly learn to correct your behavior. Touching the loft however is an unforgivable offense subject to a 2 shot penalty or DQ for multiple use. Perhaps an admin can confirm that.
Anyways..
Round 1 was a miserable +2. I was hanging in there at -1 thru 15 but then suffered a 4 putt double and followed it with a bogey. Round 2 was a half decent -3
So overall I sit -1 at the cut and only a dozen or so shots behind gavlaar, he must be sweating bullets about now.

Results for week 6, damn shame that LocoOnTheSoco only missed out of the win because he called a 2-stroke penalty on himself, but that's the beauty of this community Congrats to colly45 for the win, with woody2718 and gavlaar124 sharing the 2nd place spot with loco. Updated rankings, colly still on top but woody's not too far away:

Thanks for the update Larry! I missed a top ten at RSG by one spot (I finished 11th). But oh what a spot! I was +1 and tenth was -6! Inside the top 20 overall for USE at 17th. I've got a lot of getting better to do. You guys in the top 15 are doing amazingly well. You're obviously playing better golf than me, but you're probably playing smarter golf as well. I wish I could find a PS4 controller that came with a golf brain. (But would that make me a cheeser?)

I shot a +3 round 1, definitely shaking off the rust after a week off. My partial swings were all over the place. I putted fairly well but found myself scrambling alot. Also, I put 2 shots in the water on different holes. I need to find my straight-ish stroke again...

I have USE points! Never thought that garbage from RSG would garner anything, save for my HIO. Monumental news for a monumental post for me (number 1000).
Back to the bats at the Belfry.

Back to the bats at the Belfry. 1000 posts??? Get a life, loser! ššš Seriously, this forum needs more positive voices like yours, Art. You never have a cross word for anyone and you are always encouraging others to do their best. To quote a fine lad: Onward! ššš»
