@rob5490 @larrymalone - you get the 163s R2 as well?
I think so - but with 8 rounds played on it today (inc TST), I'm now trying to forget it ever existed.......seems a common theme each week lol
And just for total accuracy coruler2, I did mention that water glitch in the ranger thread....

I WANT MY MONEY BACK! Bloody blind children let loose in the course creator again... etc.

Don’t be short... ended up -6, -8... snippety snip... I played extremely well for parts of both rounds but missed 3 or 4 “tiddlers” 163s threw me for a few holes in R2 as I had it in my mind we were on default all week ala the weather report. Hey, it’s Aqua Man!

Played early and finished. Worked on putting all week so I am not fully comfortable in the changes yet. So In R1 I played decent but missed 2 fairly simple putts. Just didn’t trust my read and under hit them. -10. R2 my swing left for the front and was -3 at the turn but was able to mentally recover to finish -10. I feel I gave away 4-5 easy strokes in first two rounds. R3 things started clicking and found a nice groove and finished -14 and sadly gave up two easy putts once again. But I holed out and made a few tough putts so it evened out. R4 I was missing a bunch of fairways but still scrambling well for a -11 So finished with a total -45. Could have easily been in -50s but I am content with this score since I have been struggling on tour this season. I think I have a putting solution but just needs a bit more time before I fully trust it. Good luck.

I know everyone’s unhappy this week but as an RCR the layout and routing are spot on. I got to play this in 2012. I think what most people are unhappy about are honestly glitches within the game.
Either way, the course plays true to the RCR in my opinion so unless we want to no longer use them going forward I’m not sure what else to say. :/

Which is sad because the real course is great, but it’s one that doesn’t translate well to video game golf; and this version while accurate is not too exciting

Apparently the pros don’t love it either. I believe it was voted bottom 5. I think it just plays long every hole - with heavy rough. Aside from pretty views (which to you and me would be a plus given we never play many courses in real life on this scale) it’s probably not that exciting to tour pros.

I don’t see why people are complaining so much about the course. Only issue I had was the shade on the greens. Boring is a pretty good problem to have if that’s all there is to it.
Played okay outside of OB on R1 hole 3. I’ll wait til Tuesday to see if -17 makes the cut to continue.

Been designing much more than playing lately, but caught fire for a -14 in Rd 1. Happy to make a cut with a -10 in Rd 2...but then some tempo troubles in Rd 3 dropped me back, -5 followed by a -8 in Rd 4.
Course is obviously bleh but oh well. Maybe one day we will show off the great designers we have every week.

I played a shite shot, and a video game glitch I wasn’t aware of got me. Aside from that I didn’t putt as well as I have been. That, my friend, is not a recipe for success. As per my vote in the course thread, I’m happy to play any of the RCRs, thigh the HB ones have some bull to deal with at times.

Played like a half decent player for three rounds, then like a see you next Tuesday for the final round, throw in a few slow downswings and a few putts that defied gravity and/or laws of physics and I guess I’ll have another beat miss top 10/top 5 if I’m lucky. Boring.

Very pleased with my -19 after 2. Should be enough to make the cut.

Swapped a few clubs out at the top end of my bag this week and had a lot better variety for long approaches which worked fairly well. Just the mug on the end of them that cost me again. Had numerous lip outs in r1. Hit it pretty good and hit some great putts but struggled on the ones in the shadows and missed them all by the odd click lipping on the low side. Rd 2 putter got a bit warmer but had a putt hit the middle of the hole only to jump it and finish 6 inches behind from 30ft. Didnt feel like id overhit it but must have. Still hit it solid. Bogey on the birdieable 6 was poor got a 95% swing that left my a 70% flop from 16yds that come up short of the green😳 Rd 3 was really solid and played some great stuff and topped it off with an albatros on 18 for a -17. In r4 had a run of fasts at the top in succession to end the charge parring the last 4 holes and leaving me on -53. Missing fairways Down the stretch definitely cost me. That paired with missing the greens on the short side with the approach but hey ho. No practice rounds and not much golf this week as still smashing cod. I shouldnt expect silly numbers. Good luck all left to play.
