Like I’ve said many times. HB ruined their own game. All these issues with XBOX and short swing falls on them yet nobody is on their forum complaining. I hope you all realize nothing will change unless they are barraged by complaints. Yes, they ignore or lock you down but you have to believe their publisher sees this as well. It doesn’t take much effort to post there so do it. If they could only marriage TGC2 swing with 2019 game we would have something legitimate. Xboxer's had many threads on the HB site for months requesting information or some type of adjustments to our tempo, but they straight up blew us off! They showed no concern. My impression was that they do not care about cross platform play (TGCTours) They believe that it does not matter for their game set up and societies if xbox is only playing xbox. However, as we all know, most of us would never have stuck with this game if it wasn't for TGCTours. I took a big step back in my hours played this season, only playing the rounds needed for tours and societies. I have not played a round for fun in months. Last game I would play new courses and participated in cross platform societies. In fact due to their blatant disregard to our issues, I quit playing for a month. Only tours during that time.
So, yes a lot of us voiced our concern, but it fell on def ears. If the next version is not balanced I fear many xboxer's will walk away from this great tour, as it seems like a pointless grind knowing your at a substantial disadvantage on the first tee.
It’s too bad they just abandoned a solid game. I just like to remind them but it seems like they are not even responding anymore.

First round on the PGA sure had it's highs and lows. Started off a little shaky then hit a beautiful second shot on #7 for an albatross. It's been a bit since I had one of those but it saved a front nine with a respectful -6. Then I felt myself tighten up and nerves got to me. Missed tempo shots on a couple drives let me scrambling for pars on two holes and an accidental misclick when changing a club on the short par four left me 50 feet putting for birdie, another scrambling par save. Finished strong with short birdie putts on 17 and 18 for an overall score of -10. Feels like it should have been better with that albatross but I will definitely take it for round one, especially when I pared the other two par 5s. Proud for the no bogey round.
Here is the nice albatross.

In at -36. Thanks for playing. Will be a T-35th-ish. Just shot myself out of the tournament in first 2 rounds snipe hooking it off the tee which made rounds 3 and 4 meaningless unfortunately.
But I did finally hit some good shots in the latter half of the tourney but kept leaving myself these 10-15 footers that broke off the reservation. Made 2 putts over 10 feet in final 36 holes. Not ideal.
First time I have ever thought about switching my club make-up during a tournament. Seemed like I always needed a 200 to 205 yard club and just got absolutely killed on those holes all 4 rounds. In hindsight I would have switched my clubs.
Anyways; nice to see no low winds, great track and good luck to everyone still playing!

Seems my vision was not nearly as tragic as I'd first thought. Phew...

First round completed for me. I remember playing this course last season and I don't believe it went so well for me. Ended up at -9 with 7 birdies and an eagle. Had some arrant swings that left me wayyyyy too far from the hole (such as 72ft, 2ft uphill, and 60ft putts). Was glad to get away with 2 putts on those. No bogies is a very solid score. I'm looking for something like that or a little better in round 2. Trying to have a good showing this week. Looks like from what I can see from the XB1 guys are sitting at -14 and -13 after 2. I'm not sure what the cut will end up at. My guess is either -14 or -15. Hopefully, we can get a few XB1 guys inside the cut line and have them competing. We're all a community here, but you'll have to understand I'm rooting for the XB1 guys lol.

-23 after 2 rounds. Well pleased with that, partly because it's a tough course, but also because I broadcast my 2nd round live, and I was nervous as hell! First time I did this, so no idea how to share it here. If anyone wants to watch, it's on tenbobjeff twitch channel I think.

Prepare to have your swing lines blown up as pics and analyzed.

Jeff plays a different game to you mate 👍 Putting was unreal, he hits it like an absolute pansy to die it in and it works great for him. I can't ever see myself becoming good enough at judging breaks to putt that softly.
