Well, I will pass API this week. Won't make the cut, but at least it counts, right?

Second event with the PS4, missed a bunch of not-too-tricky 10-12ft putts which annoyed the hell out of me, hitting them straighter this week but often coming up short, just don't have any putting confidence yet. Final round was a trainwreck, finished on -42 but realistically I could easily have been -48. Tee to green played about as well as I could hope, first time I've been able to say that in a loooong time... -53 wins this week, you heard it here first Edit: absolutely love this course as well, been in my top 5 for a while, glad to see it on tour finally! 152 greens in particular were perfect, like:

Greens are 152 so pins aren’t illegal. There’s too much slope to go much higher - 163 is the max I’d be comfortable with - and I wanted schedulers to have options when setting it up for an event.

Greens were fine. Epic whining though, I was entertained by the post.

"My putting was poor this week and it cost me again. I moaned about joes green speeds being 180 and looking back its me not practicing the greens before i went out and played as some green speeds just need tweaking by a couple of clicks. Good luck all playing the buck this week.i havent played it yet 😂😂😂"
Moan, rinse, repeat.

Like Bob, I am sure my swing sucked enough this week to pass with flying colors.
Mapping bastards is a new one to me. I'm too lazy for practice rounds, but is studying the course also looked down on or something?
I guess Scott's approach the game is the only honorable way to play and if everyone else had morals he would win every week.

-43 (assuming -18 makes the cut)
I can actually play this game, i just toss in needless errors out of nowhere far too much. Easily should have got into the high 40's
Greens were good for speed, slow enough to be aggressive but not so slow it got annoying. Belting track all round

The ----- club. Wat a shower of complete wank. The course is laid out well but yet again another designer that sets his greens to a number where nothing putts true at all. Finished my rounds and played it on fast 163s and course plays amazing. 152. Designers do this so there course plays fubar'd and doesnt get ripped a new arsehole. Alot of the holes are easily accesible if you hit right line off the tee but greens are a mess. I had so many putts die on me or on the straightish ones go the opposite way 2 clicks and miss high. -50 even tho the greens are a mess the shortswingers will stiff it on every hole or the mapping bastards who practice the events on other systems with different names then play there rounds at the last minute will get past 50. Have fun. Seriously close to calling it neck on this tour as its @!$#ed. @!$#ed up courses and @!$#ed up morals. Ppl playing with rigged sh%$ to short swing and mappers who they wont police Its worse than the hori and mapping days on tiger oh my god. Have fun on the ----- clubs greens. Sorry justin but you know you put them greens at 152 to play wan k Someone has anger issues.
Let's go through a checklist, shall we.
-The designer is doing something wrong with the greens speeds, not the person putting on them
-Designers trick up their courses to play wrong, not the player getting frustrated/not making the adjustments needed (I admittedly use this one from time to time - I later realize that I am simply placing blame away from the real issue)
-Admitting your putts are dying (wrong pace) or missing high side (wrong pace * line), but not admitting you didn't make the proper adjustments to 152 (or whatever the speeds are are for a round in other weekly events)
-Straightish putts going the wrong way, but never a misread on the person reading the straightish part -Bringing in short swingers to the table, even though there is a system in place for policing by VOLUNTEERS who do NOT get paid and enforce it on their own time.
-Bringing up hole mappers/multiple account users who play the event (allegedly) more than once. I agree that this has been a long standing problem, but how does one reasonably expect staff here to police this? They can see what data is sent to them, NOT the IP data of other names that are not connected to TGCTours. Unrealistic expectations and blame laid out here on unpaid volunteers to police something they cannot see -Expecting everyone to play the exact same way as you do or else they have "^%$&^%$# morals"
So which is it, the one user, or is everything conspiring against them, and seemingly across multiple weeks?
tbh, It probably would do you well to take a break to change your attitude. I find I play my worst here when in a crap state of mind, and the best when in calm/clean mind frames. I have taken shots at courses before, but to mock up the name with a curse word and to drop the %$#^@ bombs like they were candies for children shows a lot about you and your current state of mind.

I dont expect to win every week ben, far from it. Its an uphill battle playing against the short swing already. If it wss just a case of you being able to swing that way fair enough but when you can rig your pad by taping up the front of the swing stick to guarantee the short swing it takes out all integrity to ppl who short swing it and opens it up to accusations. It goes laser straight even on a full swing making the tour a farce. You may aswell just say straight shooting is aloud. The api doesnt pick it up either. Its like a built in scipt.mapping is when ppl use 2nd accounts on different systems to judge shots top hole per wind etc no exactly how many boxes or clicks to move it and how to loft shots to hit best approaches. Leaving yourself on the best side of the hole.

It's amazing to see someone complain after shooting -40+. You can always go back to tgc 1 and then you can shoot -18 each rd. I was happy the game got harder. I didnt think it was possible for guys to shoot so low but they must practice a lot or can read the hell out of the greens. I cant do anything right on this game, but at the end of the day my sex life is amazing, so I would say I win.

Played ok but have a bunch of doubles that hurt. My only complaint is 152 greens speed feels wrong on 200ft greens. So many putts had no chance to get even close to the hole. I get it, lay up but sometimes things don’t work out and you are stuck with no shot within the rules. Just my opinion, not that it matters. Oh well, have fun. Good luck

Im stating facts dude. You and the VOLUNTEERS know what goes on. But to keep the fluffy unicorn world happy choose to do nothing. Did i not go back and say how the course played great on 163s. 152s are a shitty number as were 180 last week. The 187s played great. The games more to blame than the designer but alot of designers steer clear or just pick the shitty numbers to give there course false teeth. I think ive done quite well holding my words for this long to be honest. Did you or did you not get flagged for hitting it" to well" last week too bob. Not straight but too well. I said to ppl at the tgct that they have too grey areas and they police it black and white to get "if you dont like it, don't play" attitude. Is it run by politicians!!!!!!
