7 under thru 6 holes, this one was in for a serious roasting..or so I thought. Then arch enemy, the wind, begins to strengthen and pars became the norm. Shot of the day on 18, a fast 2 hybrid to 8 feet leaving a dead straight eagle putt. 12 under in the end only feels decent after such a hot start.

Was able to get up the slope on 18 and had a nice short eagle putt in the opening round. Rest of the first two rounds was mostly crap. Either it was blinding light or shadows, making putting an absolute nightmare for me.
Missing the fairway the same way on 7 in both rounds was such an afterthought when it started becoming so difficult to see on greens by the turn.

Round 1 in at -13. šš
Played well and judged the wind really nicely for a change. šš
Missed some putts that just missed and missed a straight eagle on 18 because I'm dumb and can't hit putts straight. šš
Usually pull them all and that one I pushed. Go figure. šš
Not sure the top end of me bag is cut out for this course, but I refuse to change! šš
Good luck to all! šš

I think you're the only player I know that's been pulled on Xbox mate... Didn't it happen near the end of last year as well? Quite a few folk getting pulled at the minute to be fair on PS4 too. Are you using a delicate flicky swing or a big thwacky swing? Is a short swing even a thing on Xbox? Iv been flagged twice. With different controller each time. This time it was my trusty tgc1 controller which has never failed. I dont no what this flicky swing is, id love to learn. I dont think it exists on xbox Just watched some of your Twitch vids mate... youāre mega straight, and I can confirm that a good selection of your swings also are what I class and āshort swingsā, where the feedback line doesnāt reach the top and the end result is a straighter shot. A lot of people seem to get that in 2019 depending on how they swing. Anyhow, donāt worry about learning how to do it mate, as it seems you already can and itās contributing towards getting you APIād

Guess im just going to have to spend some time on the ps4. Iv got nowhere else to turn, 2 new controllers and 1 old one and all get flagged, guess its abit of a compliment to my skill š

I now swing differently and donāt get APIād. More of a full thwack of the stick and Iām not as accurate, but Iāve learned to adjust for my probable misses and work in my putting to rescue me. Fried my brain having to swing āless accuratelyā, but thatās what I had to do, in conjunction with ANOTHER pad... Itās a fine line you walk with delicate swing actions nowadays at the top level.

Played Round 1 Sunday and shot a -11. On the front 9 Par 5 hit my 2nd shot to within 7-8 feet. Minor downhill putt and blew it by the hole somehow 25 feet. Ended up with a par
Round 2 last night started hot. Was like -6 through 6 and then -7 through 8. Slowed down a bit and was at -11 through 17. Left my approach on the fringe on 18 and chipped in for eagle somehow even through I thought I short swung it. -13 for Round 2 so sitting at -24 through 36 holes
Should be somewhere around Top 10 so far. Hopefully I can take it as not used to the air up this high

Changed my swing too to get a full line... Unfortunatly, I sometimes swing straighter with that remodeled swing than when I had a short one! Still borderline with the API!

Maybe you should keep your comments for you when they're not constructive! Oh... Actually... If you want if you're on PS4 we could play together and I'll teach you what to do to swing stupidly straight with a DS4 by just using your thumb to swing! No tricks! It'll involve a bit of practicing on your part, but you'll get how it's done. If you a new DS4 even better, you'll swing dead straight because the mechanism is a bit tighter than with an older one!
