At least on realistic courses I might have a chance with the best of the best. Here, zero chance. The elite will score low no matter the course, the rest suffer. I’m the opposite opinion and mindset. Since I get a lot very fast/slow downswings, crazy pull/pushes, the only chance I have to hang on PGA are these very hard courses. Because I’ll still get my holes where I hit two good shots and make birdie, but I’ll have holes it’s a scramble to recover for par. If the elite are also struggling to birdie and have a few bogeys, I can hang around. With 50% of my downswings off tempo, I’ll shoot at best -10 at little brook, which may be -5 here. Whereas the top players who hit straight and good tempo shoot -21 at little brook and -7 here

Whereas the top players who hit straight and good tempo shoot -21 at little brook and -7 here I guess it depends on your game. I have very little trouble with tempo but I do have some wandering lines and can hit about 5% of chips. Not a great combo here. Don’t get me wrong. I’ll play any course but prefer some over others.

Decided at the last minute to give this one a go after all to see what all the fuss was about...I didn’t find it too bad to be honest...-8 -5 -7 -7 ain’t gonna win any prizes but it’s decent for me of late.

Guess round 4 pins were more acceptable than the first 2, but there were still plenty that I felt were just...not fun. Anyway, all done, GL to everyone left to finish - and on that note, here's something for you guys to look forward to...
Can't begin to guess what that looked like at the default 187 speed, since this was a 163 speed round, and frankly can't imagine how a single playtest before publish doesn't identify that issue. All the same, onto next week. If PGA West is anything like I remember after boomboom published it, I'm sure we're in for some more fun!
Surely you did your usual trick and just SmedRammed it in anyway? Mo Hill, no problem.

First missed cut of the year for me with a -9. I knew a bit of nerves and a big temper would get the better of me on this one. Started round 1 super conservative playing to avoid bogies. Front 9 I managed to avoid trouble. But only carded 1 birdie. After the turn I decided to go for it a little more. Birdies a couple right away, then those fickle greens screwed me and I bogies two in a row. Got pissed off then, and my swing and tempo went completely to sh1te. -4 in round 1. Should have stopped there and played the next round tonight. But just wanted it over with. Swinging pissed and all sphintered up, fast downswings galore and a lot of swing lines that looked something like and upside down J. A few birdies, a few bogies, and was -3 on the 18th. Well managed eagle on the easiest hole on the course to get -5. Little did I know at the time that would only miss the cut by 1 stroke. Good thing or I’d have flipped my wig.
Decided to play Rd3 just for kicks. Without the nerves or temper shot -10 that round. Round 4 I experimented with purposely slicing downswings with fast tempo, de-lofting flops etc. because it didn’t matter and because I proved to myself I can play (but I’m my own worst enemy) in Rd3. Think I shot E for Rd4. Very quickly exited that mess to play some RRCC then Red Dead.
See you next week boppers.

For some reason, I've only just found the expanded stats page. It's really just a "compiled" stats page for the most part with some simple average calculations thrown in, but still interesting I suppose. I had no clue I was on top of the putts-per-round board, that's pretty cool, though I doubt it'll hold much longer given the way I've played the past few weeks:
