Designer is no longer around so pins couldn’t be changed. You guys voted (or abstained) for this course to be used, so for once I can point to you to own the grumbles I’m good with that. Can we hold more votes in the future? Perhaps list 5 courses and which one shouldn’t be played etc? I will have some occasional polls for feedback or requests to the tour like the RCR one a month back.

Had no plans of playing today, especially given the really, really weird struggles with my swing I've been having the past few weeks. I shut the PC down fully last night for the first time in a while (rather than just letting it fall asleep), and I have no clue if that was something that mattered, but all the sudden, for at least today, the swing is back to "normal." Hopped into a society event earlier to work on the swing, played really well, and figured I'd give it a shot. Felt like I was getting around fairly well, and really just wanted to reinforce whatever swing feeling I had today with repetition, so went ahead and played all 4 rounds. Haven't played all my rounds on a Sunday in a long time, but went with it anyway. Fairly sure that I'll end up around 5-8 shots back of the ps4 squad, but I won't complain after the past few events. Even though my play is a big step forward from the past weeks, I left way too many out there to compete - including two 7ft putts that, by all objective measures, should have broken, but stayed dead @!$#ing strait, and parred par 5's two or three different times from silly play and/or sh%$ putts. Regardless of where I finished, I am very encouraged by today in a way that is completely unexpected...honestly can't think of a single thing which should have made that much of a difference in my swing to get me back to where I was a number of weeks ago, but I'll gladly take it.
As far as the course goes, yea, there were a number of suspect pins, but nothing like last week. The only one that really irked me was this one:
Thankfully lipped in the par putt, but like I said, wouldn't have made the difference between winning or losing anyway, I'm sure crawsey will come in somewhere in the mid -50's. GL to everyone yet to tee off, and enjoy the course, it wasn't anywhere near as tricked as I remembered from TGC2, and was largely pretty fun to play.

TLDR - what’d you finish at? Btw give it till tomorrow I’m sure the game will flop back.

No one has got to mid 50s so far so if you reached -50 you’ll be leading.

Finished -49, again with 2 putts from 7ft missed that were inside the hole reads. Ugh...going to sting if those cost me the W, but I highly doubt it ends up being that close.

Went early for a change, I booted up the PS4 and played a society round; the swing felt decent so I went ahead and played my rounds. Finished on a pleasing -56 total. Rounds of 57,55,60,60 Couldn't do much wrong in rounds one and two, putted really well for the most part. Round two should have been 53 though, as I missed from 11 feet on 17 and unbelievably from 4 feet on 18 Rounds three and four were more of a struggle, missed a left lip 7 footer for par on one of the par threes for a nasty three putt from 20 feet when my touch was off, but got very lucky on the par 5 with the retaining wall, when I pushed my approach and it hit the wall and went just over the green Round four was a complete shock to the system early on - I made a wonderful putt on the 1st from 20 feet, then chipped in on 2 from 8 yards. After that it all went a bit pear shaped and I made double on the long par three when I stupidly hit a delofted driver into the agua! Then the hole afterwards I had the exact same putt as on Justin's video, with the same result. After holing the 11 footer back up the hill for par I took a look at the leaderboard and saw that I hadn't shot myself out of it completely, and could still get to the top of the early leaderboard to set a target. That seemed to relax me and I started playing some really good golf. I think that I went -11 for my last 11 holes? That included a holeout from about 165 yards to a very inaccessible pin - just the huge slice of luck that I needed at that time. I had to hole a sweaty 10 footer for par on the 72nd when I slightly pushed my SW approach shot to a very tricky spot.. I played this course before and thought that it was a bit unfair at times, but after last weeks course it seemed fine, and actually enjoyable to play. Obviously there were a few pins that were a bit naughty, but nothing that was impossible. Good luck all

Started with a -7. Something about 179 greens. Just can’t find the sweet spot between speed and break for some reason. Lipped a bunch out. R2 & 3. Solid but unspectacular -11, -12. R4 couldn’t get close on the front but played well on the back for another -7 Finished -37. I wish I could pinpoint an area I need to work on but it seems I might be dealing with nerves or trying to be perfect. The longer the cold streak the harder it gets. Maybe I will set the controller down during the week to refresh my instincts. Good luck, and I liked the course.

Continuing to show why I claim to be the worst player on the PGA Tour. -6 R1...and had to bomb some putts just to shoot this. This patch makes it so hard to score for me now...even when I have a wedge in and my line is barely left well inside the stripe, I fly 20 feet offline. I'm way more accurate IRL with a wedge

I’m not sure what his hourly rate for IT support is but may be worth a call.

I don’t get on here to much but first I’d like thanks all the guys here who have congratulated or messages me each week when I play n have won. It’s been an awesome fun n to have 5 wins and 10 top 5s from 10 events. Can’t beluve it myself. To the others winners. Justin. Mitch n brad well done on your victories. This week I started like a house on fire til I hit round 3 n 4 got punished for poor shot play. Well done to brad on your 56 under n smashing that vidcha 9 dickhead. And to Dave for holding his nerve on the last hole. I could only mange -49. See u all next

This is actually the same thing I was telling Mitch last week that was plaguing me - shots that I'd just barely missed were starting 8-10yds off line, for no apparent reason. No clue why it went back to "normal" this week, or what I did to make it change, or if/when it'll start doing it again (nor how to "fix" it when it does). It's very frustrating Dale, I feel for you.
